Iam very happy with it. I have dropped the zoom lens cracking the filter on front without any damage to the lens itself. I generally shoot in the program mode except in poor light conditions. Then I will shift to a fixed shutter speed to get the lens to open up all the way. Or if I am using the telephoto, I may go to 1/250 for a handheld shot to insure I get the fast shutter speed.
