This compact device offers a simplified handling. The software provided with is far from essential, the many modes available are explained directly on the camera for selection. Among them, taking pictures in auto mode, scene mode offering pre-programmed according to need settings (portrait, night landscape, moving, macro, etc ...), manual adjustment, montage (set to two four photos together), artistic filters "how Instagram" panorama. In short, the range is quite comprehensive and easy to use. The videos are of good quality, so that his picture level. The photo shooting is possible during a video. The optical x24 zoom is very satisfactory, and the stabilizer that blew me away, being accustomed to the lower end devices and therefore much less effective from that point of view there. Wireless internet is a good addition for sharing his photos directly on a smartphone or to control the unit via the latter (a good alternative to the timer for group shots for example). The touch screen is not essential, it does provide the opportunity to focus to the desired location during a shooting, like smartphones. Finally, the aesthetics of the device is really neat. Its vintage look is very successful. By against the strap supplied with loosens too easily for my taste, when walking with the camera around his neck particular, it hardly inspires confidence ... In short, for the amateur photographer I am, this is really a great device that offers all the possibilities that I need, and which is used with great simplicity.
