Suitable for demanding applications

One thing first: I shoot full-time with full-frame DSLRs, my claim is correspondingly high.
I was clear that this little camera can not compete with the large sensors, however, they should meet my needs for private use already - and she did !!!

Plus points:
+ The camera feels very valuable, a real flatterer
+ Manual zoom allows quick neck change, the lens is very bright and sharp
+ I love it that I can finally take pictures silently times with this camera
+ Manual settings for different situations
+ I can use any of my external flash units manually on the camera, fully synchronized to 1 / 1000sec - amazing !!!
+ The raw data can be wonderfully editing in Lightroom, however, the JPGs are already class
+ Very high burst rate possible
+ Very fast triggering
+ I can lay me the autofocus area quickly anywhere
+ Up to ISO 1600 I can live well in the private sector with the images

Average:
Autofocus is quicker than I would have expected it, of course, does not compare with a DSLR, and certainly not in continuous mode.
Macro mode is only average, but that's not always my reception area. Since there is certainly much more suitable cameras.
The display I find much better than I expected after the reviews here. I judge the images but anyway only at the computer and not on the display.

Bad points:
- Battery life is really bad, but I knew in advance. That's why I had system sold me two powerful batteries from other manufacturers for a total of 20. This brings me better make ends :-) However, the supplied battery provides only after a few charging cycles its full power, therefore not be totally frustrated if already running out of power after unpacking a few menu clicks and a few photos. That is a little better with the time :-)
- The video mode is very rudimentary, since most of my old cell phone has more settings. Nix for videographers!

Overall, the camera exceeds my expectations placed on them. The picture quality is really good and I have finally a handy camera wherever you go. It's really fun to take them in hand. For 359 as Warehouse Deal also been an absolute snapper!
