The operation is for a beginner to a quarter of an hour briefing problem (who has experience with digital cameras, does not even need the manual).
The camera weighs probably only about a pound, making it not a burden (but too big for your pocket).
The menu selection is quick and easy and provided on the screen with explanations.
Videos can be started with its own switch and stopped and are of decent quality.
The camera looks high quality and fits comfortably in your hand (except for very large hands).
The supply of AA batteries for Safaris / Travel to the tropics, etc. optimal because there is often no safe charging options, but batteries are widely available (a set reaches for about 200-250 shots). I myself have destroyed in Africa two chargers when trying a charge with generatorerzeugtem electricity because there are wide variations apparently common.
Memory: bought a 16 GB SDHC card which arrived for 1500 recordings of the highest quality (internal memory reached only for a few photos). Storage time in order
Camera starts very fast (subjective feelings)
The following does not go so well:
Super wide-angle (22mm) recorded on the edge clearly visible
Super telephoto usable only in good light
Screen when the sun is not bright enough (no viewfinder)
Noise there at the usual rates
Flash output is limited (no shoe for decent flash)
Manual settings are grds. possible but because of it, not decorated menu (it lacks the blind to use adjuster etc.) due to time constraints only for individual, composed Photos
Given the price are five star awarded to.
