Compact, versatile, solid aspect, this device makes excellent pictures that remind me of my old Rollei B35. The SLR and compact I had meanwhile were average compared to this unit. The viewfinder is great: large and very clear. I only use it, no need to put the glasses "loupes" or protecting sun screen. The indicator horizon is very convenient, the zebra overexposure and color development as well. The rings of focus and aperture are used to manage the image as you wish. In zoom mode, the ring is adjustable in stages, allowing to quickly move from one focal length to another without having to turn too. The zoom 200 mm great can be multiplied numerically by 3, 600 mm maintaining a very good image quality in picture. By 4 also, 800 mm, but then the picture is much less clear. In video, the digital zoom is blah. Better to be limited to 200 mm. The video is excellent -quoique I consider evil red button placement. The unit handles really well against-day, low light, overexposure, ... Because it is discreet little noisy. It fits in a bag "Case Logic DCB304K" with a UV filter + sunshade attached upside-end lens, 2 batteries and more, and essential accessories. I find the loading micro-USB plug convenient: it's fast and you can recharge it on a computer, a cell phone charger, a car radio plug ... That happiness during a report of five days last week, pictures and some videos.
