I haven't handled one since they came out with their first digital
SLR. It was impressive from the ergonomic point of view. It felt
nice, looked nice, and sounded nice. It was easy to pick up and
immediately shoot with it without fiddling with things or studying
the layout. If that is preserved it should be a great little camera.
I am not sure about the in-camera anti-shake though. Usually it is
not as effective with a long lens as the in-lens type and you do not
get feedback by seeing its action in the viewfinder.
