Conclusion

A camera with great looks and feel.
Image quality is quite nice and renders with good contrast, bokeh and flares.

Exposure is only done automatically but you manually adjust the ISO.
So you can have a exposure comp by changing the ISO.
Light meter works good but you can't lock it.
It is also always on except in total darkness.
So you need to use the lens cap so you don't drain your battery.
