Well, I do like it. I'm satsifed with the image quality and with the 
size which lets me keep it in my pocket all the time.  It charges up 
quickly when first turned on - a feature which prevents a shot from 
being missed.  It's body shell is black which keeps it unobstrusive.  
The viewfinder works with my bespectacled eyes.

The functions are: auto (flash when the camera thinks it's 
necessary), flash off, flash on, red eye reduction, and infinity lock 
(for shooting through a window).  I would have liked a "slow shutter 
speed with flash" such as the Leica Z2X has.

There is also an auxiliary viewfinder mounted on the top deck for 
"sneak" shots, but that's not  a device easily used by my aged 
eyeballs.

The only problem I've encountered is remembering that the viewfinder 
is in the center of the camera, not the corner.
