Personally, I don't think the camera sensor should be doing the
haloing. I'd expect it to be a function of the lens.
have you read another review of the camera? Like on http://www.dpreview.com ?
Or on photo.net? Or on http://www.steves-digicams.com/ ?
As for blowing out whites (blooming) that can be controlled with
exposure or by choosing a different angle or a different time of day,
but there are times when you simply can't get good exposure and still
not blow out some whites.
