Property me this camera to have bought so a lighter device than an SLR. The camera has been extensively tested in a short holiday in Croatia. About 250 pictures were taken. Batteries still ok. The 35 x zoom covers all situations. 20.1 MP produce very good pictures, even shooting in low Light succeed, but one must have a steady hand. Videos were also made, are ok. For a price of 150, - the camera is more than good.
