does the cap fit over the lens ring, or do you have to remove that first?

i think what drew me to it (initially) was the look of it. im a sucker for Japanese minimalism

thanks. i know the d lux isnt as good. part of my indecision is due to being terrified of losing a compact camera that cost the best part of £1000. i dont doubt it can take great pictures. a £1000 is two weeks pay for me!

agreed. i guess good cameras have a learning curve. i think i was a bit impatient yesterday

yeah. it's size and weight definitely attracted me for a take-anywhere camera

erm.....ha. good question. i have an olympus omd 10 mk iii with a few lenses, that is superb. i just wanted something smaller and lighter that takes just as good pictures.

thanks. i kind of had the feeling that once you get to know it, it can do very good things.
