The camera I had in a 3 week holiday in France and on the North Sea in use, also I have already created some hours of video.
So far I'm very happy (about 3,000 images shot). Even those who can not so well versed with the manual settings here shoot very good photos from the two automatic work modes. Whether on football matches, with sightseeing flights or in Gebierge, the camera is always and everywhere. Here, I can the people with a huge DLSR camera around his neck understand the mountain is not high panting. However, it should every man for himself know what he wants to achieve with what camera. Very good photos are here almost guaranteed in any case.
I am particularly impressed by the video function. The autofocus sharpens almost always fail to and the video quality is in Full HD with 50p just staggering. The zoom is barely audible. Very good, I like the Panorama function with the pivot images can be created easily. The Bednienungsanleitung as already mentioned many times an absolute impudence.
Although most of the functions are self-explanatory with the time and the HTML instructions on the HP Sony a little more detail as the PDF, so is that of my Eighth prerequisite in this price range. The software PlayMemories Home is sufficient to start with. Here Videos can be cut (only the beginning and end) and put together and also pictures from
Create videos (the camera can in the highest video resolution at the same time create any photos). The processing of the camera is very good, except for the flap for the mini USB.
The flash seems a bit unstable, so far, there are no discernible shortcomings here although I have quite often used him.
For me, the currently best compact camera that exist in the market, so strong buy recommendation.
