Great Camera and let's hope it stays this way and I will be a happy man with a new camera that is small and light enough to be in my bag whenever and wherever I go.
Here's a picture taken in B/W using the macro function. Camera and subject were very close to another when taking this picture.
Takes a while to focus as the focusing ring is rather small to manage. I have big hands. Nevertheless, once you nailed it, the output is very satisfying. Love the depth of field at f/2.0.

This camera is definitely going to be a great everyday camera. Capturing expression is a bliss and the color and dynamic range this product is capable of is simply awesome!
I was not lookng at stopping down for sharper output. I deliberate use f/2.0 and also reduce the in-camera sharpness to produce the softer effect. Nevertheless, thanks for pointing out the need to step down for sharper image.
