Beware of false expectations - disappointing!

My conclusion so far after 2 months: disappointing to really annoying

1. When using the internal flash, the camera fires salvos of Sample / focus flashes from - even if the light should be sufficient simply to focus without flash. This is extremely disturbing - any better digital camera has its own infrared light it. The only remedy: always carry around and mount external flash - a total, making it the internal flash unusable for me

2. The automatic white balance is set too warm. Clear skies only switching helps to manual white balance - this manual conversion to forget then again slightly defer ....

3. Everytime you what rare in the menu for a setting, you have to click through to this place live anew - annoying especially when you change a setting and the same wants to change again.

4. Sony has still not managed to change the zoom function on the display so that the push-in is not at maximum zoom-in to change the same. Also still does not work, draufzubleiben to zoom in or out keys so zooming continues. Complicated dozen pressing is necessary - as in the Stone Age.

5. Actually, I bought the camera so that an extra Videocam is no longer necessary. This can be password unfortunately, given the very loud noise of the focusing lenses. Sony gives even as a limitation in the specification of almost all lenses to. Conclusion: To record video with the built-in micro camera is useless.

6. The built-in GPS funktinierte with me only if you updated with the PlayMemories Home software regularly the GPS assist data to the camera. And they are only valid for 1 month. Otherwise, no GPS signal was received - not even in the open air. Where there is otherwise such a necessity? Anyone can do that other handset manufacturers better - there is no GPS assistance data are needed.

7. The camera has a natural tendency to go straight to ISO 1600 and higher in the Automik modes. Instead possible at ISO 400 and 1/15 (for example) it chooses rather then 1/60 and ISO 1600 (only approx example). The maximum ISO level you can not also limit - such as with my Nikon Coolpix P300 (max ISO 400 or ISO 800 max). Result: higher in all automatic modes noise than necessary. The only remedy: always use or Set the ISO sensitivity manually program mode "P".

Conclusion: so much frustration with a new purchase, I had rarely - I can not really recommend the camera.
