Very nice general-purpose point-and-shoot
1

Nice camera. JPEGs are high quality. User interface is simple and well-designed. Using it underwater is very simple, just need to verify that both hatches are double-locked before submersion. The macro mode produces truly spectacular images. It compares favorably with any SLR macro lens.
Buy an extra battery.
On-board flash is a bit puny for fill.
It is tempting to leave my OM-D and lenses at home and travel with just this camera.
