Disappointed that Nikon is charging premium for this camera, telling us that we, the pros, can have a lighter tool to have as a traveling camera, and then making it difficult for practical use because of a slow autofocus. The AF is extremely slow and very inaccurate in low light situations. Which is the main reason I bought this camera for... to take photos with friends in low light events. I hope they fix that in the next version.
