This device was designed to replace a compact which, according to the user, was blurred pictures. The optical viewfinder is a plus (reduces the risk of camera shake), coupled with the image stabilizer. Too bad this viewfinder is so small, because with the zoom power, it has some difficulties to fit. Large size swivel screen (very useful for shooting over the crowd). This device has been bought only recently, there is almost everything to discover. Can not find a protective filter (neutral or anti-UV) for the goal.
