Menus attempt to remove video options from stills mode and vice versa
4K/60p video in a sub-$1000 camera
Lack of RF-S lenses at the present time
AF tracking for video is unreliable
Significant rolling shutter in full-width 4K mode
Mode guides are half-baked and not friendly for the beginner audience they are designed for
Easy-to-confuse HDR recording modes for both stills and video
