What's not great? Slow? Poor focus? Low light focus is often an
achilles heal with small P&S.


Low light is one issue. A lot of pics come out a bit muddy. The one
I posted is an example, although the day was heavily overcast with a
bit of drizzle. However, for the last few years I've used a G5, which
is infinitely better so I've been a bit spoiled on light gathering.

The other problem is the lack of viewfinder, which means that in
bright light where the screen gets washed out, you're shooting blind.
