Long I've read here on Amazon Reviews. Of very great to terribly bad - it made me uncertain long time. On the internet I've finally on various sites (Flickr - Picasa). Images that were created using this camera is viewed. And these images have convinced me - I wanted to have and try this camera. So let's order. The delivery was super fast as Amazon usual. I have now made the camera for a month, and about 300 pictures with it. You must first have a little deal with the F70 and its settings, because adjust simply always "EXR Auto" and expect that everything now goes on its own - is not, especially if the F70 to be ausgereitzt. However, the various mode settings according to the shooting conditions are used, shows the small F70 what they really can, and I think it is also intended. The contrast range is great, the sharpness of the images as well. The AF is very fast and also very safe. The noise performance is in the compact class certainly one of the best - that there is no value may be expected from an SLR, should be clear - but I find to ISO 800 fully ok, ISO 1600 is subject to certain restrictions also still usable. I have pictures of other compact cameras viewed with ISO 1600, and here, the F70 to commend, it is really one of the best. The sometimes criticized processing I can not confirm that. On my camera nothing wobbles, it makes a very solid impression and everything is well fitted.
