So far so good.  It's a departure from anything else
I've owned.  Bought it mostly for the weight savings
and the (low) price.  Battery life seems very good.
Pictures -- you judge.

You know, I'd rather shoot with a Canon 5D full-
frame SLR and a Canon L zoom lens, but not
at 11 oz.

These memories don't fade!

The intended audience of the pix is not me.
My wife barely does day hikes, and refuses to
wear a pack weighing more than 5 lbs.

I did get Merry to the summit of Monadnock
this year, and that was an achievement.
That she had fun (I think) was a small miracle.

There are parts of the AT I have no intention of
hiking twice.  (If they weren't AT I wouldn't even
hike them once.)

There are others (Katahdin, Franconia, Whites)
that I've done many times over.
