Several things here...
1

1.  Love the images - what else can I say!

2.  I absolutely love the EX-2F - what a remarkable little camera.  I enjoy the way it renders colors, the way it looks and feels, and a shame Samsung ended their foray into superb enthusiast cameras with this model.

3.  As to the occasional blown out hi-lights scenarios, I have a good suggestions that often works.  We all know (well, those of us with EX2F cameras) that at times, this baby can overexpose images in some scenarios - often leaving us surprised and scratchin' our heads.  What I do in about half the situations is to dial in anywhere from -.3 to -.7 exposure compensation with the multi-segment metering option.  However, even then there will be times whereby some hi-lights may be blown out (those smaller sensors can only do so much DR-wise).  That's when I use the center-weight average metering option.  I find in numerous cases this works.  Of course, I shoot in RAW format mode, so I have the ability to play with the RAW file to bring up the shadows more and tone down any hi-lights that look too hot.
