Oh, carp. I forgot to contribute. Sorry.
Have at least one spare battery, as they die a quick and spiteful death.
I normally use the Intelligent Auto mode. I normally use it with the flash turned off. I recently bought a Gariz leather half-case for it, and it's very nice, but it adds about 1/4" to the camera height, at the bottom. Bottom.
It actually works OK in M and Av modes (haven't tried Tv), but it's kind of a pain when you're used to DSLR, or even something slightly more archane, like a Fuji X-Pro 1. Of course, if this will be your main camera, then you will quickly learn its ins and outs. It's by far the best pocket P&S camera that I've ever used, or heard of, or even smelled.
I use an Op-Tech Digital D-Compact 'rangefinder' neoprene case for it, which is relatively compact, but has sufficient room in the front pocket for three extra batteries, a couple of cards, and a Magfilter CPL filter. The Magfilter has a really cool, minimalist supermagnet mounting ring system, with a magnetic ring that's stuck on the front of the lens (barely and rarely noticeable), and it works quite well, as a CP filter, that is.
I'll post a few photos tomorrow, when I'm a bit more "compos mentis", as opposed to "compost mental", which pretty much describes my current state.
Cheers,
Jim
P.S. Go Pats!
