No surprises but I'm very happy with my S60 which replaces an S50 which got pinched (note - if you're travelling and you can't download your Cf card then at least take it out of the camera and keep it somewhere safe !)
I read somewhere that the S50 felt as solid as a brick (a compliment) and it did. The S60 doesn't quite seem so solid but the controls are better and so far the new lens really does seem to be as sharp as you could possibly hope for.
Only issue is in getting the very wide angle you lose a bit at the long end. OK - with 5Mp you can crop to get closeups but you don't get that telephoto effect which can be very dramatic. Still - you can't have everything.
:D
