I'm fine with paying the full prize for this wonderful camera.

Always looking forward, never looking back...

That lies in the hands of the bee holder.

After watching the Tech Radar video I think the AF performance of this "touch me to shoot" function cannot compete.
It took nearly 1 second to grab focus while this is achieved on e.g. a GF3 in max. 2 tenth of a second.

 I think the review was so boring it even bored the camera thats why it was so slow off the mark

You mean, for re-awakening from hibernate-S5 that was pretty fast?

Did anyone notice these mountable camera grips in the italian video on 5:25 and 7:05 ?
They didn't show up on the Tech Radar video nor on the official announcement.
I think one of those would add the right amount of grip to this little thingy.

Am I missing something?

So it's really APS-C. Nice!

Looks like a toy.  Has fewer controls than our little P&S SX 120.

The +/- button indicates EC, the * locks exposure and the Q button in the middle of the dial acts like that on every DSLR. Easy and sufficient.

Last year when the Sigma announced the 12-24 II, amazon.de listed it for a short period of time with the price of the old 12-24.
I preordered instantly, price went up but amazon kept their promise. It was 849€ instead of 1149€ at day one!

Even Rebel/xxxD body's can stand a lot more than one may think.

new left-handed camera.  Apologies if anyone finds that argument too sinister.   

only those who are maladroit...     (argh, argh)

More smites for this?!  C'mon guys- sinister is latin for left-handed, maladroit is a commonly-borrowed french term for the same attribute. Sheesh, have a sense of humour... 

For sure, these smites are for NOT changing your avatar to that pink thingy you suggested elsewhere.
