I have had this camera since just before Thanksgiving. So far I love
it. My only big problem so far is being so used to the Sony F828 that I
keep trying to twist the body. I loved the F828 but missed having the
twisting LCD screen since I never use the viewfinder. I like the wider
view. I like not having purple fringe. I like the size. I think the
arrangement of the buttons and features is far superior to the F828. I
am keeping my F828 as a backup so if I ever want to take a video or
have a camera with more telescopic end of the lens, I can use it.

i have mixed feelings about it. Still not very used to the shallow DOF.
Taking small group shots it's difficult to get everyone in focus. Call me
weird but i think the sensor is too large in that sense. If they did a new
F828 with improved ISO performance it would have been much more desirable
for me.
