Surprisingly Good Image Quality

This camera with all it's flaws delivers image quality that is slightly better than my 7D.  The touch screen is very convenient, except when you don't want it and can't make it go away. The auto focus is good if you are not in a hurry and the subject is not moving. It poor at best overall. Having said that it is great for landscapes and copy work. makes a great camera to take images for posting on line. I always use it for eBay images. The no viewfinder other that the rear screen is a killer for many situations, That's why I have to rate it as a 3 star camera.
