(link is below)

reasonable capsule review, though ocasionally misses the point
such as "the camera stores the selected (or automatically 
chosen) shutter speed in that EXIF data, but strangely, 
aperture information is not recorded even when using 
the latest lenses"  -- gee whiz, there is no coupling that
transmits the aperture ring setting...

the review also discusses the drama of the IR  magenta cast,
the UV filter "fix" and so on.

most interstingly they give the camera high marks for
"stellar low-light performance" where tina's side-by-side
tests were not so complimentary.
