Actually I wanted to buy myself a slightly larger bridge camera. But then I ended up with the Fuji. Have not looked back since. She makes all layers brilliant images. Even if the lighting conditions not 100%, the photos are still good. All the more if the manual Uses the camera settings. They are really enormous. The large zoom range allows photos (eg near Tierfotos) that an otherwise would not succeed. Impressive also the durability of the battery. 400 pictures on a single charge are loose inside. The only complaint I find is the zoom speed. It is so fast that the Focus will not come with. This means that when shooting movies, the image for a split second is out of focus. All in all, an awesome camera for a low price.
