The device still works after 1 - 2 years flawlessly and delivers very good and sharp pictures (if you do nothing wrong). Schön is the optical viewfinder, which is useful in bright light conditions on the beach, but today, unfortunately, can be found in almost any new instrument more. The little weaknesses: 1) When using the pre-flash, the device needs to until the actual lightning comes and the picture is shot. 2) battery in the device discharges too quickly when not in use within a few weeks.
