HIGHLY recommend the Gary Friedman book. It's about 750 pages, so it gives you an idea of the complexity of the menu system. Like others, I get just as good, if not better photos than with my 35lbs. backpack of Canon equipment, and I'm always ready of the next best shot. By the way, someone mentioned it has a Zeiss lens. That's incorrect- better yet, it has a Leica lens.
No, it has a Zeiss lens. I wrote about this camera the other day. It’s the camera I’ve shot most over the 2 years I’ve had it. It’s also my least favorite camera to shoot. I do a lot of my shooting from a kayak and it is by far the best option I’ve found that’s easily manageable while sitting in a kayak. It’s amazing to be able to capture BIF from a kayak. I love it for what it’s capable of but it will never replace my other cameras. I think the ergonomics suck, I hate the menu system, the raw files take a lot more work than my Nikon raw files, everything has to go through Topaz Denoise. I hate the electronic zoom as it is and it loses focus when zooming.
