Setting up the camera functions easily, who is not familiar, can be based on an illustrated guide that is well designed and clearly.
Slight problems arose in plugging the power supply unit which is supplied with plug heads for different countries - a good idea, once put together the items you have chosen a system, pull apart no longer can these parts then - for us it was new, so we thus must first tinkering a bit.
About a mode - dial can be selected quickly on top of the camera to select the setting, in addition to some gimmicks such as effects (different filters) will, inter alia, a setting for Scene Auto Selector, night photography, passport photo scene, video etc .. necessary.
For us as a layman this fully automatic is easy to use and handle, there are simply no previous experience necessary - on, pull the trigger - finished!
The camera has little mauellen operation options (eg aperture settings / time) also ideal for us, someone with more expertise is already restricted in use.
The video function (even in Full HD) is excellent, short films (possible with fast motion) can be recorded in good quality, by the image stabilizer, the pictures are not blurred.
Compared to other cameras in this design, quality and pricing are offered 16: megapixel standard, we are presented with the image quality, however, satisfied. The 3 inch monitor is one in this price range also apparently to normal execution.
The intergrated Wi-Fi with NFC support for data transmission via radio is safe due to the meanwhile very good mobile phone features, the data can be combined with a smartphone - so reach snapshots and holiday greetings quickly the intended recipient. The wireless data exchange went smoothly, and I let me help you through the menu system - says but for not much, because I am a technology dinosaur in comparison to all other family members!
From the powerful 20x zoom, we were impressed - this larger than average zoom lens you simply do not expect in this small package!
The focal length of 25 to 500 m allow great shots in the vicinity as well as the distance - ideal for many holiday memories.
Even close-ups succeed very well, with the close-up mode arise really great enlargements, good snapshots overall not a problem.
In our view, a solid camera for people like me who have little idea of photography and still want beautiful pictures.
The only downer I see in the current price, this could still be rotated to the price spiral.
