EX2F in my greasy hands!

Wooo!

Battery charged and all of a sudden 6 of my in-laws arrive! I'm hiding in my room between preparing food for dinner as I'm really keen on finding out how it performs.

Noticably smaller than EX1
Flip out screen really thin - but robust
Hand fit is good.
Time to tun on is improved.
Save time for RAW + SuperFine is faster than EX1.
Zoom speed not going to win awards.
Menu system totally changed (and much better) than EX1 - Fn button is well used.
Wide Angle (LWCEX) works well.

Precapture mode is fun (captures 10 photos before you fully press - find of like Fuji)
Still trying to get remote to work.
ND filter is good - really good. Seriously good.
Images (JPG) seem noticeably better with Sharpness turned down 1 point.

ISO 80 up to ISO 400 don't scare me at all - they look good - 800/1600 is showing significant NR but can be worked with. 3200 shows classic aquarelle-like NR. 6400 is definitely (for me) a B&W ISO - but still workable.12400 is only available in some modes (JPG only, not RAW or RAW + JPG) - but is an ISO of last resort.

Going to go for a walk tomorrow and take some photos - I have a good feeling about this. A very good feeling.
