Effective and well thought out

I appreciate the evolutionary design which underlies this camera. It's got interesting physical characteristics (pocketable enough that you may carry it all the time), adequate performance (zoom range, low-light abilities in wide-angle, good responsiveness) and, interestingly, a very well designed touch-screen UI.

IQ is very good when compared to the Oly XZ-1 (which I lost) and the Fuji X20 (which I briefly tried).

The only drawback is that the lens gets dark real quick, but this comes as no surprise, given it's size.

Overall a very good choice if portability is a concern.
