The other, already very extensive, reviews I have to add that I was the long time between 2 shots a bit puzzled and disappointed. It takes approx 5 seconds to the camera can be re-triggered. Compared with my "old" (3 years) Kodak DX 7630 is an eternity. The time from power on to first shot, however, is pleasantly short. I noticed are slight blurring in the full optical telephoto range, but still acceptable seem. Overall, I find this a good price / performance ratio and can recommend the camera for standard motifs thoroughly. For situations where quick succession several recordings to be made it is not the first choice.
