I gave the camera my daughter for her birthday. The camera is very small and so easy to use that it was ready for use immediately after unpacking. Quick Start Guide covers barely 2 pages, that you can really out of the box to start photographing with. In our case, Party motives were the theme for the first shots. For good Lichverhältnisse the camera is good for complicated light it rather represents some challenges. Video in HD-Ready Quality (720p) is good. It should be regarded as reasonable that there is nothing to expect special, but the picture and sound when video recordings are absolutely useful for the amateur. In short, compact and simple, occasional photos and videos - good. To record clearly better images and / or videos, you have to invest x-fold more, and to learn a lot about photography. But who is looking for a particularly convenient, simple camera that is right here.
Update: From the very good quality of the images I'm very impressed! I photograph other full-frame DSLR and had been rather expected much worse. Instead of previous 4 stars, now I give 5!
