I was just put off by the negative reviews here, however, she had already been ordered in advance. Biased I tried the camera out and was initially disappointed, they seemed to confirm everything! After prolonged playing around but the positive joy grew more and more ... are the photos Outdoors tip! Very sharp and detailed, indemnify not a problem is not an issue, freehand with 450mm also (tasted in sunshine). In the apartment I first got out no really sharp picture ... this was due to motion detection. Please turn necessarily, then you are with the sharpness. Without a flash color noise is clearly visible. Images in darkness also work wonderfully "freehand". The noise behavior is perfectly fine at night images with distant motives.
One must also know the limits of such a camera! The sensor remains tiny because also helps no "Backlight".
And please buy fast SDHC cards, the performance is even better.
For me the perfect replacement if I have to leave my DSLR at home / wants (K10D with Tamron lenses).
The star deduction I give for the Scene Auto Selector, because this is the right motive is not always fast enough and for motion detection.
