So far it is very good . Great pictures Great screen
Time will tell if I can use it 5 yrs as my previous olympus.
- To me only it slips and slides out of my hand and I am afraid of loosing it everytime i use it . i know it's very compact but I find it too small to use with my hands and fingers. I suppose it could have a view finder

User friendly and very menu access. I love it because its not complicated compare to the Sony i used to have.
The only problem i have with it is the size
- The only problem i have with it is the size which makes it very difficult to handle, not very sure if its the shape. You have to be careful to handle it else it might slip from your hands, apart from that i love this product.
