The image quality on them can be extremely good if manage to get one that has some good glass in them. Remember, some of these cameras cost nearly a thousand dollars when they were new. The glass in them is equivalent to that price.
Anything over 2 megapixels is enough to work with. 4 megapixels is plenty. Low-light performance is shit, but some have pretty fast lenses in them. Shallow depth is field is going to be hard to achieve since they all mostly have high crop factors.
Like a lot of things with photography it's up to you to make the most with them. If you want that 2000s prosumer photo look you'll want to have one or two around.
