The colors go well; the LCD screen is just a little bit misleading, too "flashy" compared to rendering on a computer screen, only real gripe I have to make - unless it is just a matter of screen computer precisely (which is possible ...).
The optical zoom up to 30x, is particularly convenient (well, not the digital zoom that can go up to x60, but at the same time ... it's a digital zoom!).
The ability to take pictures in black and white, sepia and HDR is appreciable (+ many other filters). Lets do some macro (insects, flowers ...) whose pictures are satisfactory.
The wide range of possible settings (all self until all manual) allows to become familiar with the settings gradually.
The handling of the device is excellent. The HD video is stirring.
The LCD can be rotated by a small articulated arm; fragility of this arm is regularly seen at the Sony service and repair, but good handling avoid breakage.
Small problem: the unit weighs only 600 g and not 1.5 kg (perfectly fanciful by the way;)) announced in the product description;)!
In short, I am very happy with this camera. Quality is at the rendezvous!
