If it has really good image quality at high ISO it could be a winner. My main concern is that it's not possible to know what it's focussing on in dim light when using an optical finder, so it may not be a reasonable M-replacement for indoor candids* but OK for more casual kinds of shooting, such as travel. I'm hoping I'll get a chance to shoot with one in Hyannis this year. Regards, Dick * OTH, maybe the face recognition software will help with this.
