Who does not like a little show off in public with his camera? compared to other similarly priced compact and can be of superior quality, this one is lovely. Not too big, not too small, well done (technical comments to read about the pros sites), the X10 or X20 throws when you take it out of its case. be sure to read the user manual (in English) and use the options as C1 and C2 modes that stores your preferred settings apply in special circumstances (using an external flash generic example). P mode or fashion scenes nobody will be disappointed. the screen display is rich but the manipulation of buttons requires nimble fingers and on all the expert compact. Works much better in dim light than sunlight. Mistrust with white or light fund. Contrary to what I imagined the manual zoom is rather impractical, like switching on the lens. Burst mode is ambitious but difficult to understand and too limiting. With these restrictions and technical limitations of the unit (to discover on specialized sites), it is effective and reassuring including a working pro. We can forget without any remorse visor (sold separately) but above all do not hesitate to offer second booster battery.
