Total score ?

Pros + excellent image quality
+ Manual handling
+ Exceptionally well equipped
+ LowLight behavior
Cons - Expensive SxS-cards
Conclusion Almost everything that was criticized on the EX1 (mainly concerning the switches/buttons and ergonomics) has been addressed and improved.In its current form, it definitely still plays in the top league in terms of low light performance, handling and functionality, and with its 1/2-inch chip it is one of the "bigger" small ones.
