I love mine. Inexpensive, very small, good zoom range, great little macro option, provides very good photographs and I am not afraid of packing it around with me. If it ever does break it won't cost a fortune to replace.
Based on what I read here and other places I know that there are many great and wonderful amateurs who can handhold their top of the line, 100lpm lenses and get awesome photographs. A Keeper every other shot.
However, based on my own personal experience, which is of course applicable only the a few of us 60 year old men, without a tripod I seem only as good as my little F35-70 or M50/2.
...and even then only on film.
