The sensor isn't that flash, and the lens is hardly wide angle
Don't know what a "flash" sensor is. It has an excellent low light capability, and 35mm equivalent of a 36mm to 432mm lens. The standard "normal lens is 50mm in 35 terms. Anything lower is a wide angle. No, it is not an extreme wide angle (24mm or below.)
I use it as a small, walk around replacement when it is not convenient to carry the 5D and a couple of lenses. Keep things in perspective.
If I want wide angle, I can use my 16-35mm f/2.8 L lens with the 5D/ That requirement for me is not common. Likewise RAW - and RAW is not of much use unless you are going to make large prints at high res.
