the picture quality on this camera be pretty good . for most event , it have replace my slr -lrb- which be just too big and clunky otherwise -rrb- . it have a grid which allow you to focus on different item in you viewfinder , which can be very useful .  however , if you be deal with a scene that have multiple focus point , the `` area focus '' grid start jump around , which I have be tell by other be somewhat annoying -lrb- do not bother I -rrb- .  overall , while I ideally like control all my setting , I find that this camera be just ideal for any kind of set where you would want easy pocket portability .  I would change one thing : the little flap that cover the lense seem pretty easy to move , and make I a little nervous about keep the camera in my pocket : I would personally prefer a hard cover like some Kodak flip camera or even the Olympus .  but otherwise , I would highly recommend .
