My personal observations:

Arrived four days ago, so this is preliminary:

1/ Very small and light but too big for most pockets.
2/ Easy to use but the menus are a bit tedious.
3/ IS works well, even at full zoom.
4/ Good exposures and mostly good focus, so far.
5/ Flash works well, so far.
6/ Image quality is very good.
7/ Response time/on time/focus lock time ... all good.
8/ LCD viewer above average.
9/ EVF only OK ... useable but not much more.
10/ Look and feel are both good.

A last comment: My wife has carried it for three occasions and has shot some
very nice photos with it with no prior experience and no reading of the
manual. This camera has a "Simple Mode" that seems to be worth looking at
for casual users.
