Too much for me? Or just a learning curve?
I regularly take semi-professional photos for friends (mostly outdoor children's pics, though some in a lit photo cube/tent) and wanted to improve what I was able to capture digitally. Also, for our own photos, DH and I were looking to step up from our advanced point-and-shoot and were advised to go to this format of camera instead of a true SLR. I'm glad we did, but this was perhaps too great a step up for us right now. Even after a month of trying, I'm still not able to get consistent, focused photos of children and am having trouble making the instructions in the manual correspond with the camera itself.
The weight of the camera is great, lens is nice (not a Zeiss, but still!), battery length is substantially longer than expected for this camera. We had to buy the Compact Flash cards (presently we use xD cards) new for it, and those are larger to store, but that is minimal compared to the steal we got on this camera. The camera has a standard lens with 28-200 capability, so we don't have to change lenses out, and there is a macro lock on the lens when extended to full length. It shoots great black and whites and there are filter options on it that I am learning slowly. I cannot find the live histogram, which is one reason that I chose this camera, but I will keep looking. The flash is also a little strong when in close up and washes out the subject, necessitating color/brightness/contrast adjustments in a photo editing software.
Would I buy it again? Probably, but maybe after I got something else in the interim. I find myself going back to the old camera when I get frustrated with this one, but I believe that in time I will be shooting with this one and loving it...... again, once I learn where the functions are and how to work them.

Easy to upgrade. One small quirk, easily adjustment.
I just upgraded from the single lead (that I have had for about 2.5 years now) to this 6-lead option and have been very pleased. I had no issue adding this device to the Kardia app on my iPhone SE 3rd gen. It was a totally seamless process.
I can take both single-lead and 6-lead through this device, and the readouts are clear.
Note that the 6-lead requires you to connect not only your fingers, but also a sensor on the back. There is a little awkwardness finding the right spot if you use your ankle instead of your knee to take a reading, but once you get used to it, it is easier. I am highly sensitive to electronics and feel a little strange sensation when it is taking a reading, but it is not at all painful.
