I currently use an M6 but my wife likes the point and shoots, so I bought her
a C2 to replace her C1 that was stolen. Lens quality was quite good, but the
camera was so noisy on zoom that it was impossible to take pictures without
people looking. It also has an annoying auto frame feature that zooms in on
your subject automatically, but can be turned off easily if you have three
hands with six fingers on each. My wife hated this camera so much that we
found a used C1 at a camera show and traded the C2 for it. 

I hope this answers your questions
