But putting it into perspective, I have an old camera from another brand which reacts badly to power-on with the lens cap attached. It makes whirring and grinding noises, then emits a series of loud beeps (which cannot be turned off), then whirs, clicks and grinds some more, beeps several more times and then shuts down. The whole sequence lasts nearly thirty seconds, and can be triggered either by the shoulder-strap hitting the on-off switch, or similar when putting the camera into a case or pocket.

Not a Panny, by any chance? Describes mine to a T.

But it does make me see the EX1 as positively civilised by comparison, and so I don't see it as a problem.

Indeed, there is no problem. None whatsoever with the EX1 and the tri-cap. Fast, silent, smooth. A match made in heaven.

I've already stopped turning the screen in against the body. I reserve my coat pocket for the EX1, so there's nothing to scratch it. And with this cap, I can snap a picture instantly by pulling the cam out of the pocket and just framing. Street shooter heaven.

Or at least it will be when I get around to reading the manual and finding out how I can manual focus lock at infinity or at the hyperfocal distance.
