In addition to the many positive aspects of the previous reviews there are two major drawbacks that make me mad sometimes. 1) After pressing the shutter button, it often takes 1-2 seconds until the shutter is released - despite high-speed setting, prior focusing by half pressing and continuous autofocus !! I do not know how many pictures with me already beside went because after 2 seconds the subject was no longer there! Property unfortunately too late trigger similar problems discovered in testing reports in electronic stores since the camera was purchased. 2) When shooting is heard ugly engine noise, not only when zooming, but also at constant filming hear an oscillating hum. Otherwise, I can confirm the positive aspects of the other reviews. But spontaneous snapshots are hardly possible humming movie shooting is not really a pleasure: therefore only three stars from me.
