It is a replacement for my somewhat dated Dimage Z2. It was important, again to have a camera with a large optical zoom and 10x optical is quite large and enough for me. In addition, they should be small and compact but like my Jenoptik, one can well accommodate in your pocket. The camera also has 14 megapixels, of course, is another argument, my Z2 had only 4 megapixels, the Jenoptik nevertheless already. 7
I tested the camera equally extensively and all functions - do you really need sooo many ??? - Tried. I am fully convinced that this camera is worth its price. The build quality is solid, it wobbles nothing, nothing rattles and the handling is very simple, the menu clearly. Even video recordings succeed very neat. I have made, for example recordings from fireworks in the celebration of the Day of German Unity in Bremen. The recordings have become good, considering that the camera is actually intended to photograph and video is a secondary function. Even the sound - unfortunately disturbed by the prevailing wind partially - is good and the voices clearly visible.
My conclusion: This camera replaced for me my two older cameras in one fell swoop.
