After a few weeks of use, I can say my overall impressions are overall positive:
the camera is very intuitive and it is clear there were photographers involved in its design, all buttons are where I like them to be, liked the ergonomics a lot, Eye AF and metering on the detected face is a game changer, touch and drag autofocus is an outstanding feature, while looking through the viewfinder you can move your finger on the touchscreen to tell the camera where to focus absolutely brilliant feature.
On the downside the extension grip is a must even for my rather small hands, some functions seem to be deliberately crippled to make you buy more expensive models:
silent shutter is only available in scene mode, quite odd, you can't assign a function for exposure compensation to the camera wheels like on Sony, but you can assign it to the function wheel on RF lenses..
Xsync of only 1/180 second: they could esaily do better
