This camera is really good. Many possibilities of settings, may be even a little too ... The quality of photos and videos is impeccable. The assembly quality level is good, pity the wheel to scroll through menus and pictures is too fluid and does not inspire confidence (compared to a Sony HX9V I owned). The flash is a manually exit which is a shame, and especially not to force him to go off when desired, it is only triggered by the light sensor. Otherwise, the HX50 is a good investment, there is unlikely to be disappointed, especially for its price compared with the Panasonic TZ60. I recommend.
