Customer Review

Note that I am not a "PRO", just an amateur who loves simplicity in appliances.
As owner of a Bridge "Nikon P510" and a compact "Canon Ixus65" I made some comparisons for key elements.

Depth of field:
it is undeniable that the Sony pulls out of the game, great depth of field where automatic compact and bridges are struggling with this, the fact that Sony fingers in the nose ... :-)

Timeliness:
As the depth of field, shutter speed is often the argument of this hybrid SLR and defended pretty well.

Pictures:
the colors are fairly accurate although a little dull (by car), but the quality is undeniable (we recall that a 24Mg sensor pixels ..)

Physical Characteristics:
- The LCD is returnable to be when you want to take pictures (small problem, if the flash is raised, it is in the middle of the screen ...)
- No optical viewfinder, there are only the LCD and when you know you will hardly see anything in the sun ...
- No small rope to hang the cache the goal, certainly due to the fact that is likely to change lenses but you should still have a choice ...
- The Flash ... How to say .. it looks fragile.

Small fault handling:
I noticed several times that the palm of my right hand rested on the settings buttons to the right of the LCD and changing the settings during shooting. I swear I am not exaggerating if no one pays attention, we support above 1 shot 2 ...
I wondered why I had not had this problem on my other devices, and comparing I quickly realized that it was a weight problem and button positioning.
Indeed, the lightness of the Compact (Canon ixus65, 160gr) we hold with 2 fingers and the big wrist Nikon (P510, 550gr) we never make the palm of the hand that is based on the right back. This Sony is slightly larger than the Compact but heavier (380g), it instinctively shake hands and press on the buttons with the palm of the hand ...
must be regularly careful, it may seem minor but it's pretty broken foot.

Overall rating:
I loved its speed, photo quality and the possibilities of depth of field but it can never replace my Nikon P510.
Why? Because the problem with this device is exactly the same as with an SLR, if you do not buy an additional objective (expensive), the possibilities are quite small for a user "Lambda" ... an example? The zoom is a X2.
To summarize, this is a very good camera but its price range the reserve affluent or very enthusiast who wants quality SLR in a compact format.
