It is pretty decent. Edges of pictures are not as sharp as I would like, but it survived well and is still ticking. Having a camera in a pocket is a huge deal, and I will take the minor quality hit in order to get more pics.

Here is what the reviewer wrote about that camera's sharpness:

Quote
I used Imatest to check the quality of images captured with the AW120's 24-120mm lens. It's quite sharp, scoring 2,539 lines per picture height on our center-weighted test at its widest angle. That's a lot better than the 1,800 lines we require to categorize a photo as sharp, but the outer third of the frame is a bit blurry due to a 944-line average.


it's waterproof which is a big plus.

If you take the time it takes, it takes less time.
