“Portrait mode? Does anyone know what this means? > No standard "portrait" mode, only a lot of specialized portrait modes which I find confusing and slow to use. It was in one of the reviews. I just want to point it at something and shoot, for the most part anyway.”

It's pretty much saying how not every app is going to have a portrait mode. If you don't know, and if I explain it without confusing you too much, Portrait mode is when The device is Straight up and down, like a phone, on a camera technically that might be sideways. But pretend the camera is a phone for now. Most people use, youtube for example, on their phone. You might see them have there phone straight up and down when looking at a video (that's portrait mode) But as soon as they click on a video and turn the device sideways to full screen the video (that's Landscape mode). So what that's pretty much saying is because of how the camera, is...well a camera, or more specifically a sideways rectangle by default almost every app you'll open or use will automatically be in landscape mode or some apps might automatically do portrait mode. The camera can do both. Now, Some apps will ONLY have landscape, you can't turn the device into portrait mode and some apps will ONLY have Portrait mode where the opposite is true you can't turn it into Landscape mode. But again like I said the most important app, the camera app, can do both. So you really don't have to worry about it unless you love rotating your device all the time. Hope this makes any sence.
