I bought this camera for my son who will go on a trip and want to travel light. It is practical, easy of use, and "auto mode" pictures are beautiful (quality zoom). By cons in video mode if the images are correct, I find the sound rather average. Initially we received a camera with video mode a shrill whistle continuously, so we asked for and obtained an exchange without problems. This second na more this big default machine, but when you film without too much noise around means a light humming. Well, as in our case this is especially the quality of photos that account for this price range, and the video is secondary, this unit is what we wanted.
