What is also rather neat is that the camera sorts out the cropping
that I always have to carry out, to trim the edges. I'm rather sorry
that my new Panny LX3 doesn't do this for me. However it has 3
different formats and 16:9 is pretty useful.
Now if only the RAW format were properly decoded by any software other
than SilkyPix or Adobe ...
