Very good compromise with this device. Until today he has some great pictures. I have not tested all the shots but it allows you to take beautiful photos by any brightness, very effective reduction movement, and especially a very good grip. I have very small hands and my friend very large hands, we are both able to handle it without problems. He never fell, never slipped. Easy operation. I was upset with batteries initially and finally I like this loading system. More forgetting the charger if one is found that the battery becomes weak batteries can be found almost anywhere. Lithium batteries with the battery lasts very long. The photos are not of the quality of a DSLR, but for the price and size, if you are not photographers but stand to make great pictures, it's a good investment. Consider including in the purchase of high capacity SD cards. A 4GB SD cart is full too quickly.
