Cons

The camera records at up to 30 frames per second.
Con Particular about which SD cards it supports
List of supported cards can be found on their site, here.
Con Can't delete clips from within the camera
Con Menu is slow and mind numbing
Make your settings before you start/need to film. It is not touch screen. Changing settings is slow and inputting a shot description will take longer then your post editing work.
Con Internal mic captures poor audio
The audio captured is dry and shallow with a constant hiss in the background.
Con Blown out highlights show up as black
Con Does not inform of when the camera will stop recording
Con Lacks focus peaking
The absence of focus peaking makes manually focusing difficult.
Con Poor in-video autofocus
The autofocus is fast and jumpy.
Con Fixed aperture in movie mode
Aperture cannot be adjusted while shooting.
Con Shooting 1080p60 requires using 1.3x crop sensor region
The image gets upscaled to 1080p from the crop region when shooting at 60fps. Though the difference between non-upscaled and upscaled footage is small and might go unnoticed.
