Funny when you read all these comments... bunch of spoiled brats we all are, having a cry wank over a terrific camera.
Lets get this straight: it does almost everything a DSLR does, yet its the same size as a compact? Check! It shoots video with APERTURE control! Check. It has built in stabilization? Check! It's the only camera company which had the balls to release a DSLR-supplementary COMPACT!? Check!
So to all of you people saying "it lacks this or that", a big middle finger salute; I'm off to get one to compliment my Nikon DSLR.
120x70x35mm 300g 13M RAW JPEG RAW+JPEG SD, (yay no xD cards) 1280x720 7min (720p video?) 640x480 14minSD 11 AF (points?) ISO 6400—200 Shutter speed: 60-1/4000
Sorry, the link is in Japanese so someone might be able to double check the data. Specs looking good, I hope the screen is high resolution like the latest Nikon/Canons and AF speed and startup is dSLR like.

What constitutes a "professional" machine? That it's made out of aluminum? Or you are referring to a higher price with same specs to other cheaper PCs?
"I am trying to configure out a really dumbed down and intuitive PC for my grandmother. She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
