Amasing IQ, so far love the camera after about 700 shots. I would buy it again. But with all the focus options it is a bit sensitive focusing. still playing with the correct combinations of options for all conditions. (All is fine if you stick with AUTO. but that is not why I got the camera.) The servo focus works well but you need to keep an eye on it and the other focus option in use. Face detect may shift to somting that looks like a face when tracking fast moving targets, seems like the small center target might be a better choice in some conditions. So far I have not missed a wanted shot but I have had to shoot using several combinations of focus options. The aperture is limited to a ND filter (2.8 or f8 )at wide angle setting. This camera provides the options needed to be creative in a P&S format. I allways carry a camera and this is the size I like.
