True. But F10's battery life is incredible, so this show happens rather rarely.

True. But unless you're a spy, you get used to it.

True. F10's LCD is terrible. But focus is nearly always accurate, so you don't need to check it every time.

No one has ever proved that "Normal" is any worse than "Fine". And you can always crop 4:3 image.

And that's precisely what you do.

Now that's the first serious problem you mention. F11 may have a slightly better software, so it may actually solve this.

I have never bumped the battery door. And I do not open it at all, because it's charged in camera.

Every single camera needs a BETTER "plug cover". This one is absolutely sufficient.

No LCD is easy to see in bright sunlight.


F10's main problem is poor contrast control. The only less contrasty mode is Portrait, but since you can't set exposure compensation in any mode, it's useless.

F11 may solve some software and LCD problems, but the body, lens, sensor etc. remain the same. For me, F10 is the best pocket camera ever made and its flaws do not matter.
