It lies well in the hand, is not that difficult I think.
The first pictures (they have only been 2 days are very good, even with the extended 30 times zoom Super image without camera shake (have uploaded one that the pine cones) ....
Only a bit fiddly the battery compartment can be opened and closed, but you get used to it.
The camera uses common AA batteries (4 are included) or halt batteries, which I prefer.
The batteries can I recommend the Eneloops, these are a little more expensive, but longer keep their capacity as ordinary batteries that quickly can be empty sometimes from lying ....
The video feature is not quite as good as you afterwards very hears the rattle of the zoom when Ranzoomen on the finished film ....
That's why I also deducted a star ... that could have been better ...
