I have gotten superb results handholding the P67. In fact, the first time I tried it I was so surprised that I had to sit down with the chromes and a loupe and carefully remember if I had used a tripod after all. Sure there is a huge mirror that has to flap out of the way, and sure, that is one heck of a big shutter too, but I think if you practice your technique, you can get some really great results! I am a fashion photographer, and shoot people 99% of the time, so having some freedom with this camera was a must. I can say I am more than happy with its handheld performance. (especially for a 6 x 7cm)
