The text summary:

I've been fiddling with it since about 10pm.  Very happy. 
Got 23 RAW high-speed images (vs 25 promised), 120+ JPEGs (it just keeps on shooting)
Q button offers quick access to convenient features. 
In-camera editing of raw is actually useful (saves new image).
Rating nice too.
Faster zoom actually noticeable when reviewing images. 
Max ISO setting for auto was about time.
12,800 ISO very noisy, but better than a missed shot.

It's mighty fast.  Just did a JPEG only test, got 120 and stopped (don't want to kill that shutter)
RAW+JPEG I got 19 before it stopped.  RAW only 23 (could be my card).

Love the new setting to limit auto-ISO.

In-camera raw processing is actually interesting because that way I can shoot raw only without a PC on-hand.

In-camera rating of images is nice too (though it involves a lot of clicks/rotations)
