Image Quality is outstanding, Compact enough to easily fit in cargo pants pockets even with 18-55mm zoom lens attached, Excellent build, solid and well constructed. Ability to adjust settings during video use. DSLR quality without the bulk and weight. Great lenses and the ability(with optional adapter) to fully use(auto focus, image stabilizer, automatic aperature) all of Canon's lenses. With available adapters able to utilyze most lenses ever made(albiet manually). Best screen available on a camera.

Not ideal for rapidly moving subjects. No vie finder.

Great combination of unbeatable image quality, compactness, build quality and versatility!
