Buttons are customizable

I usually adapt to the default way rather than customizing my own.

Customizing the R cameras is really useful, more so than with DSLRs. Optimal setup depends a lot on what you are shooting (e.g. landscape vs. action) and what your personal preferences are. Some very useful features are disabled by default, like moving the AF point with the touch screen. The RP "grew" a lot on me after I started to customize it.

Maybe I am wrong, but I thought spot metering was a common feature, both my Olympus and Fuji have it. My max speed is 1-2 photos per minute, I can't comprehend anything beyond that. Personally I would like to capture the moments with my eyes and then just take a photo to remember it.

Nowadays it is common, but on SLRs I think it required additional hardware. My 350D did not have it, neither all film SLRs I had. I just wanted to point out the RP is not a beginner's camera at the core, for general photography it has everything you need.
