The image quality, so is strong, even if it degrades quickly in medium / low light. Pictures to 1600ISO and require a light post processing to reduce noise (I prefer to go through why Lightroom rather used by the internal noise of the device setting, too violent), and arrive quickly saw it as zoom n is not very bright. So for the interior shot without the flash, it is not necessarily the best tool, especially as the flash, like 99% of the compact is unusable because too direct and too hard. This is a DSLR with a good 35 or 50mm very bright (1.4 or 1.8) is unbeatable.
In contrast when the light is good, the results are very satisfactory, on the whole focal range. The lens distortion is highly visible in wide angle, but in terms of sharpness and uniformity, it is really good and very usable.
I was also surprised by the macro capabilities, chock the zoom to 5x, and you have an interesting working distance from the subject, a not unpleasant bokeh and a magnification ratio that should not be disgusting!
The dynamics of the sensor is good, but I found that it had a tendency to overexpose a little too in cases of violent contrasts. Exposure compensation dial directly accessible then is a big advantage to change the show without going through 15 menus. Gentlemen APN manufacturers is an example to follow, do not remove all physical checks just because a touch screen that is fashionable!
I'm always a fan of the Sony panorama mode, plus there a high-quality option that works wonders if you are sufficiently stable in the rotation. A real big plus for my taste!
Even autonomy seems more than correct (however requires more perspective to judge).
Level ergonomic device is its weight, and its size is not that of a compact "jewel". It is well suited to my big paws, but you still have to have sacred pockets to take with you.
It lacks the final a swivel screen and a RAW mode (for more noise margin level / dynamic / WB) for everything a great.
In short, in the end a good little unit, it remains a compact with compact sensor, and a big big zoom compact zoom compact. So we must be aware of its limitations. But if you use it precisely within its limits, and that you keep in mind the inevitable compromises that are designed these devices, there is no reason not to be satisfied!
