First of all, I am a photo enthusiast. I use it to take pictures of landscapes (mostly), portrait, and others. It's been over six months since I use regularly and I'm pretty satisfied. The biggest problem: I removed one star because of its 1-inch sensor that gives a picture of much lower quality compared to that of an SLR (Canon eos 550d) for example. Indeed, the image quality is poorer than that of an SLR. When I enlarged the picture to see the details very closely, I was disappointed not to see cubic pixels (like the canon, sony compact ...) but instead of tasks without regular shape. It's weird! One has the impression that there is a lack of precision. But returning to a smaller digital zoom, the photo shows a "normal appearance." This is the only negative really shocked me. I spend other negative aspects that are minor for me, and that have solutions if we seek well (ex. A little noise during the video, the cap which is harder to put that gun on ...). Positives: I would summarize in one sentence "But it has all this !!! device (or almost)." The first time, I was very surprised by his response. In automatic mode, autofocus is not hardly wait. It adjusts in less than half a second. All pictures are taken almost instantly. Unlike my canon 550d SLR, it takes several seconds for the development (3 seconds or more sometimes). Macro Photography: I was amazed. Insects, flowers ... everything goes. The photos were made freehand. The quality is really not bad at all. The depth of field is excellent with this view. The transition to 16 x zoom for me was a pure delight. And all this without having to change their approach. What a time saver! In manual mode, set the ISO, aperture, and shutter speed are very fast and easy. I appreciate that. Also, it took me six months to properly manage the case as there are a lot of options. Overall I would say that the menu is intuitive, once the concepts of basics. I can not describe everything. But for the rest, the colors are good, the design is good, the video is good, the 4K mode, time lapse, slow motion ... it's a little gadget. Burst mode is superb. With regard to the battery, it can be several hours to JPEG mode.
Initially, I removed one star because of its image quality (less good than a reflex), but the rest is well worth Six stars. This is the reason why I finally put five stars.
This device is the perfect companion for those who want to start in photography and to do all the photography concepts.
