Unfortunately I had my official camera, make a F80EXR. The speed of this camera has always excited me and the images were of good quality. Yesterday came the new F660EXR Amazon, as always shipped very fast. The camera comes in a rich Metallic red and therefore acts very high quality by the metal case. The operation, as far as I can tell after 2 days is as easy as with the "old" camera, I do not change my major. After you press the selector wheel mode is explained in a brief help text, so you even without reading the manual - unfortunately there is no printed instructions, - is informed about the rough adjustment. As usual, is the speed of this camera when zooming, as well as in focusing tremendously, which also quite good snapshots succeed. Since I'm used to, unfortunately, worse from other cameras. Like all compact cameras also shows this camera in low light due to the relatively small sensor at the same time not lush sized lens and (to) high resolution weaknesses. There physics strikes mercilessly, it is up to each pixel only a very small amount of light that can be converted into focus. We must stop not expect miracles. Outdoor shooting with the flash to brighten the foreground are a success, indoor shots as well, where you must also pay tribute here to the weak flash. The flash does not run out of this alone, you have to accomplish the push of a button. I still unusual, but one is forced to consciously opt for the flash. For the annoying off the flash, the unintentionally sneaks into the picture composition lacking. Landscape shots from the hand at full optical and digital zoom succeed quite well, with some loss probably due to the optical zoom. As long as the objects do not move the image stabilizer works properly. Jerks the object but only a little, such as in an animal or a baby - both things never hold the rest - you have to pull the trigger several times to get a good picture.
