Reviewers generally praised the image quality and wide range of customization it offers, although there were some criticisms of its performance. The small size also divided reviewers, with some praising its compactness and others criticising it as difficult to handle and noting that the lack of external controls making it hard to quickly change settings. ''DP Review'' rated it 71% and a silver award, praising its image quality, small size, and wide range of customisable features. ''What Digital Camera'' called it "an easy to use camera" while criticising the auto white balance accuracy, weak performance in low light, and lack of physical grip on the camera body. ''Expert Reviews'' gave it 4/5, praising its flexibility and good value while calling it "far from perfect". ''PC Advisor'' noted a compromise between the small size and lack of physical controls, making it harder to quickly change between modes and settings, but found it was a good upgrade from a compact digital camera.References
