More things I like about it:

- The electronic level.

- Correction for lens aberrations.

Things I don't like:

- It took me a long time to work out how to adjust the exposure compensation without using the touch screen. It seems that the back dial changes it, but only during the 8 seconds after you've half-touched the shutter to turn on metering. Why not let me change this at any time - especially to let me change it back to zero.

I bet it is described in the user manual. All Canon EOS  cameras with a rear wheel function the same way with exposure compensation.you can switch dome settings in custom functions. Again, read the manual. It's probably to avoid the wheel being bumped while strap if over your shoulder to not mess up your setting.

And things it doesn't do but could:

- Rotate portrait images in playback if I rotate the camera.

Read the manual,  I bet it'll do what you want.

The date and time now asks for a time zone. Does anyone know how that is actually used? In the past I have tried to sync photos with a GPS track and the difficulty is that the EXIF time stamp didn't specify a time zone (and the EXIF spec didn't have a way to do so). So I always kept my cameras on GMT. Has that changed?
