Small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, it is ready within 2 seconds to take a picture. Pluses: big viewscreen, bright and sharp. Good battery life. Uses SD card. Controls are easy and menus accessible. Pictures are good, but all cameras take good pictures these days. Bad: Optics are limited, no real wide angle, zoom is limited. Has optical image stabilization (as opposed to digital) so it only works with the optical zoom. When you really need stabilization, at extreme zooms, its not there. Has trouble focusing in relatively low light. A good camera. Small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, it is ready within 2 seconds to take a picture. Pluses: big viewscreen, bright and sharp.
