File :-(, x)
The operation is so quick, reliable, and similar to my SLRs, I can get very quick shots on the street. Also, and this is a rarity among point and shoots: no discernible shutter lag, if you're in Snap, Infinity, or MF mode (though the manual focus is lame and sucks). No shutter sound, either. You can turn every unnecessary sound off, which is not something I think you can say for many point-and-shoot class cameras, again. It becomes a stealth camera. With the viewfinder, I don't have to frame using the terrible (and bright) screen. Instead, I've got big 21mm/28mm brightlines, and I can shoot as though I'm using a rangefinder, a la HCB, Winogrand, Erwitt, DAH, and the other Leica-using ilk.
Granted, it's certainly not as good as a Leica, but I consider it... my very professionally made little half-frame (I say this because I don't think the files hold up as well as a dSLR file, but it possesses many nice qualities worth keeping around) convenience/stealth/street camera.
