Image quality is consistently good. Auto focus is very fast and even in autoeverything mode the camera works well. The rugged construction makes it feel heavy in comparison to a compact, but it is the reassuring bulk of durability and quality.

Abstract: Compact cameras with interchangeable lenses are perfect for people who want DSLR quality without the bulk and complexity. They aren't cheap, however, and although they're smaller than DSLRs, most of them are still too big for anything but the roomiest ...
