Cons:
The lens has only a sufficient light intensity. In low light (interior), the focus sometimes takes a little longer, there are no problems in daylight. /// The software and the processor is slightly slower than the DMC-FZ62. If you turn the function above, the selected functions appear in the display only with a slight delay and not immediately. /// A shame, I also think that you can not make a UV filter to protect the lens. This is also possible with the big sister mentioned above.
Neutral:
There is no connection for external flashes and there is no viewfinder. I can do without both. Everyone should decide for itself whether it needs it or not. Somewhere eventually had to be saved ...
Pro:
Great zoom. If you set the resolution to 3MP (and reached for viewing on the PC / TV, prints up close to A4 size thickness from) can look forward to a 105-fold magnification, ie Zomm = 22-2310 mm (!) without loss of quality. When utilizing the full 20 MP the zoom is lowered to 22-924 mm (42-fold). The daily shows, however, that you need rarely MP 20 large images, so (for me personally) 3 MP with 105 x zoom makes more sense than 20 MP with 42 x zoom. Besides, very few have to print poster-size images before her. /// Toll are the various scene modes, which automatically adjusts the aperture and shutter speed according to the selected scene: eg Portrait, Landscape, Night Scene, etc. /// Even better are the Creative Modes, which allow when recording great effects: for example, SW-Up, Miniature Effect, Super Vivid, etc.
Conclusion:
Most will thus make holiday photos, or the like. For this, the camera is ideal. In good lighting conditions very good image quality, great zoom, great amenities. That some features are missing and that the camera is not the fastest, I can considering the price get over easily and is no reason for me to point deductions. Although the DMC-FZ62 (up to the zoom) in all respects much better, but the price was about twice as high ...
