Yeah, compact of the year - not even close. At least in the non-pocketable category... But still PLENTY small!
Only one control dial and it's on the back, but with dedicated shutter speed, aperture, and exposure comp controls, what else would you ever want?
Would like a flip screen, but not a big deal - rather have the EVF if they couldn't fit both.
And to me, the black one just LOOKS great. Yeah, not so good with the lens extended, but the black one still looks ok - the silver looks pretty nasty with the lens extended though... Could be a tough one to resist...
