Its a top notch point and shoot.. I wouldn't trade it for anything currently available on the market.. Sure its a little bigger and slightly heavier than other offerings HOWEVER this actually makes the camera easier to grip and hold (the irony eh).

Once you've mastered / gotten to grips with it in P & M its a breeze to get excellent IQ. Some have complained of poor IQ / softness but this was / is mainly due to user error / users new to the camera.

Many critics online rooting for their newly purchased babies so don't let that sway your judgement too much. If there's any major gripe I've got with Canon about this camera its only that the EVF is stupidly overpriced in my opinion. Oh.. Gotta give them props for the glass.. The lens is simply excellent.
