I purchased this little gem as a "carry-about" pocket camera to capture images that I normally wouldn't if I had to drag my standard cameras with me. Having been around digital photography for the past ten years and a Leica shooter for 30+ years, I adjusted my expectations downward for a little digital camera.

I just returned from 1 month of shooting and I must say, I was not disappointed as long as I avoided the temptation to go beyond ISO 100. At ISO 200, expect some noise. At above ISO 200, forget it, use a big SLR.

It is a terrific little pocket-sized camera and meets 80% of my needs for its purpose. For the other 20%, I'll have to use my big, heavy and expensive DSLR.

Problems:

No problems have been encountered to date, as long as I keep my expectations in check. Just make sure your expectations for this little camera aren't the same as for a big, heavy and expensive DSLR. If they are, you will likely have issues.
