+ Ultra lightweight, previously had a Sony MiniDV Handycam and was actually even slightly.
Zoom + width when stabilize the camera can zoom up to 500x loose !!! Absolute madness. (1500x specified) as pixelt but only the image.
+ Image stabilization works very well, just zoom back in closer.
+ Battery life, but only with the larger spare battery, need not be original. Because you need, depending on usage, not even invite every day.
+ Video quality (for amateur filmmakers) if there is enough light (beach holiday). In the dark, the colors more pixelated lose a little darker and the video.
- Zoom lever must be moved very carefully, there is either zoomed very fast or very slow. This requires a lot of feeling.
- Most important setting in / during filming only partly difficult over the menu accessible.
- By full sunshine, the display is only for estimating as a viewfinder would have been as great.
- A charging station is missing, to charge the battery only by the camera.
- Image quality when photographing just enough that it had imagined better. My Casio Exilim 5MP 2005 makes better pictures !!!!!!!!
- When editing of the film is a Mega Super Power Games PC required, or a coffee maker. 3min movie convert me = one hour. :-(
Nevertheless, I am satisfied and have not regretted the purchase.
Have the camera with 2x 32GB SDHC card, mini HDMI cable, spare battery (large), and Video Case at Amazon bought and was again very pleased.
