Re: all the bells and whistles but stumbles with not so great IQ

Correctly said. This camera is not for high quality photos. Even I felt that image quality is not as good as  similar sensor sized cameras. I like this camera for its rough n tough nature, ultra wide angle, flip screen, and size but when i want only image quality then i prefer other camera to shoot.

I can say that this camera saves me when i cannot use any camera in wet conditions or when i need extra wide angle and for group selfies. Even daylight photos have noise reduction applied that you cannot control. It there was RAW then it was best all rounder camera.

Video is very good in daylight but small aperture limits its capability when light falls.

Overall, its a good backup camera for me.
