Hey all,
Just loaded a roll of 100 iso slide into this camera. I'm used to shooting slides with nikons and the matrix metering. hows this camera gonna fare?

Should be ok, especially when you use the spot meter for backlit, or otherwise non-average, shots. There is also the option of leaving on the built-in flash as a fill light, but I have generally turned it off as soon as the camera is turned on!
Instead of transparency film I have used b+w and colour neg in my Stylus without exposure problems, but have used slide film in an original-model Trip with the selenium meter -- if that works most of the time, then the Stylus should be able to cope too (with the spotmeter).

Not that much worse - its exposure is very good at least on less critical subjects. But it won't handle high contrast situations as well as a SLR with multi-segment metering. Going by mine the original mju (sold as Stylus Epic in the US) seems to be still of the old school type with unbiased single cell characteristics, i.e. responding to high contrast with a increased risk of underexposure, so that it fares pretty well with reversal film. Better than newer point-and-shoot cameras, whose more complex exposure computers often added a CN friendly bias towards overexposure.
