Pros: Small, light, excellent LCD screen, customisable
Cons: Takes a while to learn how to best customise

I bought this camera about the middle of 2011, and its the one camera which is usually with me, apart from the camera in my phone. I bought it because I fancied I might become a street photographer. That didn't happen, but I discovered that its much more than a street photographer's camera. The focal length is nearly perfect for almost anything. For landscapes, portraits, macro (it does great macro!)... but you wont be using it for wildlife Anyone buying it would not expect to.

Initially I was a little concerned about the lack of image stabilisation/shake reduction... but that turned out not to be an issue at all.

Here's a few examples:
