Earlier in December I took a 3 day break to Lisbon and despite only carrying hand luggage decided to bring the new camera on its maiden trip.
This was my first time really playing around with the camera and where better to try than in Lisbon! I am still using the "Auto" settings but I have used the touch screen a bit to focus in further on subjects:

The camera bag I purchased with the camera proved to be more than a bit cumbersome.
While it holds everything, is well padded and keeps the camera really safe, it's too big for walking around with.
It has a zip and a catch so whipping out the camera quickly to take a shot is impossible. I tried putting it in my (massive) handbag and in my gear bag (I was on a surf trip) and it took up the whole bag.
I was very mindful of the warnings I received when I purchased the camera: "Keep well away from sand and water" so I was afraid to not bring the full case with me each day at the beach.
At night in the city I wrapped the camera in a scarf in my handbag or wore it around my neck and left the camera bag in the hostel.
So it was onto the google I went for my Santa wishlist. Christmas morning saw this beauty under the tree:

Of course it is available in other colours but I like the pink. Evecase is the brand and I believe Santa found it on amazon here.
As you can see, the camera fits in a different way. It's easier to pull out of the bag and only has a zip.
It's well padded and has plenty of pockets. The charger also fits in neatly. We'll see how it goes!
