No body has mentioned a swivel LCD. Not like the Nik variety, but similar to the one on the Optio 750Z (which I think is still one of the best Compacts around).

But also I would be happier if they got the basics right first (like faster auto focus & improved sensor), before getting into what for a lot of us would be stuff we would unlikely use and which in turn would put the cost up.

Thanks flosssie - have now got it & reading.
