I bought this camera last week based on Dpreview, and Taylor Jackson's Review. I used it over the weekend at a wedding and found that it can not Autofocus in a Low Light reception. I had over 90% miss even while taking simple table shots. I've talked to other photographers who bought this and he experienced the same issues. I find it very frustrating when I was hitting over 99% of focus in daylight.
Return it if you just bought it.
