Now it's only been a few days since I received the camera but so far it's been quite a revelation. Sure, the camera's features and its sensor don't justify its high price.

The simplicity of the camera (no auto-focus, no plethora of buttons and dials), forces one to slow down and focus a lot more on seeing and composing a photo. It's challenging but so much more fun and rewarding.
