Never had a chance to use it, but always hear consistently high
praise. Maybe one day.

I use ESP on the E10 (and E510 and E3 (overall, not tied to AF point))
because otherwise things tended to blow out. I'd rather preserve
overall highlight. I hear Canon has a highlight tone priority feature,
possibly interesting, never used it.

I'm settings things on default for natural picture mode, it's a nice
compromise between -2 and doing work in post vs very usable out of
camera. Not making any prints helps, almost all my work is JPG and
web. When delivering for print, not nearly enough experience to
warrant experimenting, defaults work for me :)

It is a very good JPG engine as well.

Yup. Nothing quite like a Kodachrome (or fujichrome provia) projected.
