i've had it for a few weeks and this camera is a little dissapointment to me. it has really good quallity at iso50 (which unfortunately isn't very useful indoors). at rate iso400 i encountered much more noise than i could expect from newest top compact-line nikon (not to mention- for this amount). my pre-owned oly4040 performed much better in this competition. the second thing is the camera's focusing doesn't do well in poor light making some 80% out of focus images (once again olympus wins)- it doesn't even utilize nikon's sb-80dx red pattern to enhance focus ability at single af, and you are forced to make all the speedlight's settings via camera, not a flash (it takes quite a while to make settings like compensation, etc.)- would you call it compatibility? once we set duet camera-flash correctly, it really works good either aimed directly or reflected from a ceiling. despite all these shortcomings i'm quite pleased with this camera, moreover i don't actually have a choice if i want to maintain my system's compatibility
