Yeh, looks nice but £849? A bit rich for a compact, I think. I used Olympus for years and always loved them but releasing an expensive compact after Christmas is probably not the wisest idea.

I suppose it's too much to hope that the proposals include something to forbid the alteration or removal of image metadata.

I think the industry (Canon, Nikon, Sony, Adobe, Microsoft, Apple and others, including Mozilla and all internet browsers) should come with a solution to this problem. Also, a lot of photographers need to put that data in the first place. You wouldn't believe the number of agencies and pro photographers that send us images without any metadata...

Doesn't this seem to happen with every new canon?

Normaly, if you are inside a store, it's private property, so the owner has right to prevent you from taking pictures. However, if you are taking the pictures from a public place (sidewalk, pavement, plaza, etc.) than the store owner has no right to stop you (and that's also includes taking pictures of a storefront, etc...)
