I was looking for a simple camera. The following criteria should meet: small (fits a small handbag), fast start, long battery life, fast focusing for snapshots, presets for backlit and a few effects, a good image stabilizer, a good zoom (pronounced sharp picture) and a simple menu In addition, the camera should not cost more than 200 euros actually.
Except for the last point, the S9300 has met all the criteria, which is why I have decided after a ausgibigen loading test for them. Of course, the GPS feature is also nice, but needs a lot of battery, so that I renounce thereto or would take a spare battery.
I can say so far nothing negative about my new camera and am completely at peace. The images are even better than I expected (even in suboptimal lighting conditions).
