Picture quality: I recorded with the highest quality and have to say that Canon delivers beautiful images and colors. Note you have to two factors: 1. The image stabilizer is ok, but not outstanding, not jerky shaking of the camera. 2. You should find good lighting conditions.
The display is used as a control screen and and control center (touchscreen). Everything just works and intuitiv.Regelung sharpness works eg like the iPhone by touching the object on the screen. The camera has an object-based autofocus is activated. The camera has no viewfinder.
As a memory card I used a Class10 Card and this would also recommend. These memory cards are a little more expensive, but also much faster in read / write.
The only disadvantage of the camera: battery charging takes a relatively long (5 hours).
Conclusion: just beginners get for the price a good device with which you can make beautiful videos.
