I have one and I really like it. It's got lots of options for fine-tuning such things as white balance, several exposure/focus options depending on what you want to do - I've been re-reading the manual to try to figure it all out. The pictures are excellent quality, depending on the lenses that you use. The controls are all in places that are easy to get to, I just have to remember what they all do! For a camera that (at least for me) is relatively heavy, it has a comfortable grip and is easier tohandle than I had expected. The weather sealing means that I don't worry too much about being out in the snow.
