Most of the time, admittedly, its unsharp. But for most purposes(which is to get a natural available light photo without flash), its good enough. Occasionally, you'll get comments that its really artistic with good color rendition - Remember to GO AHEAD and take full credit for the limits of your handheld low-light photography!!!!!! Cheers, Lee Singapore PS. Tom A's softies does make a difference - at least for me.
