Pros:
- Image quality
- Build and design
- Loads of manual controls
- Integrated ND filter
Cons:
- No separate charger
- Battery life
- Access to menus blocked while saving images

Your reviewer should look up the use of a neutral density filter. It has nothing to do with getting a better 'balance' of exposure. Any fule can see that the side of the pic with the better clouds is simply darker. ND filters are used so you can shoot the same scene with a larger aperture.

Samsung EX2F review
Samsung's current fascination with Wi-Fi will please some and leave others shrugging their shoulders. As it stands the EX2F's Wi-Fi feature is okay, it's certainly something that similar competitors don't offer, but it does stick a knife in the battery life.
Pros:
- f/1.4-2.7 maximum aperture
- vari-angle LCD screen
- raw file capture
- good quality images
Cons:
- Inconsistent autofocus particularly with close-up focus
- Wi-Fi kills battery life
- high ISO image quality
- limited zoom range
- body finish chips easily
