So what was all already written, because of makes no good photos, etc. I can not confirm that. The camera takes great pictures and you do not have too long to deal with it in order to get good results. The night shots in automatic position on the tripod by the full moon have become super. All other photos also. Road goes quite a steady hand and the stabilizer does the rest of the 50-fold zoom. That Sony is no external charger this is a pity. You have to charge the battery in the camera. This is impractical. I bought at Amazon, the original charger and second battery. I also got myself a lens cap with strap, because without the lid is quickly lost. Manchesmal the developers could use some common sense more. But these are trifles.
