It's old. The battery doesn't last long. It's cracked on the back and the screen on the front is scratched. It gets sat on, dropped probably twice a week, stuffed into trouser and jacket pockets, and just generally abused - unlike my Oly gear that's babied. I've never really looked at it as a serious photography tool, but just recently I've tried a bit harder and got some half decent shots. All are processed on LR using an iPad. Total weight about 250g!

Of course, they don't stand up to careful scrutiny in terms of IQ, and none of the subjects are "tricky" in terms of lighting or action and clearly there was no need for any telephoto effect, so it's about as easy as it can get - but it does show that you don't always need a fancy camera to get a half-decent result.
