I definitely don't like losing the rear wheel n all those buttons. On screen buttons / menu diving aren't my thing.. hmm

How would you do exposure compensation on this camera?

Looking at the pictures, I think that is my only question.

I'm noticing that there are no directional cursor buttons, so I'm assuming a lot is going to happen with the touch screen.

This looks like a potent pocket camera. 1" sensor. f2 at the wide end.

Is that a dial around the lens?

Price seems reasonable / fair. (I guess hoping for bargain bin pricing is always wishful thinking.)

Take care & Happy Shooting!

From the description, it will have a smooth rotating lens ring, instead of one with that clicks, like the the current g7x and s series cameras. So I'm guessing they reworked part of the touchscreen UI so that you can quickly switch between settings. Left hand on the lens ring to adjust values, and right thumb changing settings. Maybe they're onto something?
