Thoughts from Luminous Landscape today on SL

"The other main concern which I have is the user interface. The SL is very 
similar to the S in this regard, which means that there are unlabeled soft 
keys surrounding the rear LCD that make quick settings and navigation 
time-consuming and non-intuitive. I found the new S very difficult to come 
to terms with for this reason, and I would expect the SL to not be much 
different."
