Not bad but I find it short of the old C510 in terms of image quality, but better obviously the C525 (which is just rotten). The auto-focus is frankly well by cons in normal use (ie for the cat and do anything but show objects close), there this kind of blurring veil on the background and I do not think it's frankly terrible. I find worse than the C510 because the latter gave an overall sharp image of the subject as well as the background ... the colors are also somewhat pastels but it is a matter of taste.
