Have now had the camera almost a week and can only state that this camera is awesome. I have upgraded from the Nikon Coolpix 5700 I had for 3 years and is a very good camera but the step up is unbelievable. The view finder is excellent as is the AF system. It is not so much the improvement in the picture, it is the far better control over the camera..being able to take a picture straight away with no lag..just like the old days with my old film slr. For my requirements absolutely no problem with buffer capacity..way more than required. I got used to the weight and size quite quickly and the camera controls are very intuitive. Battery life is excellent. Have only charged it once so far. I bought it with the 17-85 f/4-5.5 IS USM. With IS I can take sharp pictures at 1/10 second. Pictures taken in reasonable light at ISO1600 have little noise allowing faster shutter speeds.
Problems:
Still can't find enough time to play with it.
I may have a couple of dust speckles on the sensor which show up as slight dark patches on plain backgrounds at full zoom but not really a problem at the moment.
