previous cameras: Zenith, then film, and then digital top-end Pentax, i. E. it is my first compact. So, THIS IS NOT A MIRROR, I told myself for the first 2 months, cursing. already used to it. paradoxically, but on DSLRs I used the purely manual mode noticeably less, but here I constantly have to think, especially for autofocus. with such small dimensions and the lack of wheels is not easy. I bought a viewfinder ($300 !), it turns out that I could get by - attaching and removing it back and forth is a hassle. maybe only in very bright sun it will be useful . Conclusion: see the merits ;-)
