This camera offers both video and photo in your price range of excellent quality and also in diverse conditions. The large touch screen can be operated excellently and also shows the generated images in good quality. Here, however, is also a constraint to make. Only those who are ready to switch to use, is happy with the touch screen permanently. Representatives of the "Everything was better" -Fangruppe will be only partly satisfied, as you can also see previous assessments. A Umlernphase should be factored in. The autofocus responds quickly and is well ahead of other compact cameras tested some of the ZOOM-class, especially in the lower price segment. Comparative tests various ndener portals and magazines seem to confirm this view. The image stabilizer works very well, which was not the case for example with the CASIO devices. The various programs work on the whole good, but are not absolutely necessary because of the very neat working automatic. The battery life could be somewhat higher, but still within the range of what is acceptable.
In Conclusion: For amateur photographers who demand superior quality and short shutter lag at high opt. Zoom a great camera pocketable. If you want an even better quality, should resort to an SLR or system camera.
