Was really surprised how well the video function. The Barel distortion does not bother me personally and is not even perceive if you are not very straight edges filming what will be rather rare the case. The image stabilizer are very well done the night or in low light. We're talking about a P & S camera and not by a professional video camera. Vielleich Full HD cameras from 1000 would only be able to beat this camera. But then it also speaks of the price.
I am very satisfied with regard the pictures. The AWB and HHT functions are simply brilliant. That one without the flash out of the hand can so take good pictures not gabs long or in such a camera. A tip for all but have a tripod and photographing static subjects, should then turn as it significantly less noise generated as a HHT on the Manuelen mode.
The dongle does not really bother me because if I really want to lug anything I simply take the SD card out and insert it to before I usually have anywhere here in my laptop.
From me, this camera would earn as 4.5 stars. Nothing is perfect in this world, but this camera does make ziehmlich many things right.
