I also love the three position on-off switch. I guess that really shows that ergonomics are very personal. Jordan Drake didn't seem to like either of those things. But then he is pretty much a video-centric guy. I'm approaching this camera from the point of view of a photographer, who pretty much ignores the video side of things.

I find it odd. I deeply dislike the three-position on-off switch exactly because I don't do video. If you're switching the camera on in a hurry you're very likely to flip the switch to video…

This is my first camera with animal eye AF, and it's quite a revelation.

It's good, but it's not perfect. My first test shots were withe the easiest subject possible (an owl) and first thing the camera did was not finding eyes… On the other hand it sometimes finds eyes with ease when I can't see them (obviously I know where they are, but being black on a black background they are hard to see with bad light).
