I've had many cameras over many years and this is the best so far.
Well built, great user interface, especially the quick navi system (only gripe is the top plate buttons - ISO, Drive Mode and WB - don't fall to hand with the camera to your eye. Not a big issue but I have to look to use them).
DRO is quite amazing - changes how you feel about jpg vs. raw (I'm still torn between the two!)
Firmware v4 sorts out early noise and over-reduction issues, IQ is now very good (though I prefer the colours I used to get from the KM 7D - not a big difference but a difference nevertheless).
All in all, a great camera for the experienced amateur, and at current prices (close to half what I paid over a year ago) it is an awful lot of camera for not a lot of money.
Problems:
None
