Lovely camera when in hands, very steady with 16-45, very small and comfortable with 50mm. Very comfortable and strong in hands. And I like the design. And the viewfinder, and the monitor and so on. The construction is really exellent.

Problems:

Construction: a shade with 16-45 and a flash.
Features: no programmed buttons, no able to reprogram Fn items (what flash parameters are there for?), continious autofocus is only available in auto sport mode (damn - no RAW and no A mode), big RAW files, I have problems with battery capacity indication - sometimes it shows them near depleted when it's not true - requires switching off and on.
Image quality: overexposed images randomly appeared - too often (no really overexposed - just a place where a histogram begins is near the darkest pixel and ends far from the lightest pixel when the real picture is lighter), the difference between RAW and JPG is easily visible (without a 100% crop)
Value for money: when I bought the camera (in Moscow) the price was significantly higher than for D70 and 300D
