Operation hampered by a few design issues, flash sometimes raised when not needed, some WB inaccuracies, mode dial stiff and slightly inaccessible...
Ultimately, the appeal of this camera is that it is the smallest on the market to feature Raw capture, and a less pricey alternative to the G11 - which has an identical sensor. The expanded ISO range, fast lens and high-resolution LCD screen only add...

Awesomely fast lens. Granular control over just about any aspect of your shots that you can think of. Slick control ring. Quick startup and shooting.
Slightly bulkier than the smallest pocket cams. Backside controls are a little cramped.
