First, let me say that the camera for this price is not bad, but not good. Eben just touch. 3 Nevertheless, the positive side, that one with a handy groooßem Zoom and yet a number of good features such as HD movies and images 360 degrees gets The handling, the handling and the stabilizer are fine. I'm just a hobby photographer and wanted to but these properties also what a camera can definitely need good = sharp images in any possible zoom range. But that did not meet this camera. The images are high not what I expect from a camera. Most photos do not allow detailed consideration. Sony I'm used to something else, after all this is my 3 camera from Sony and should complement my DSC-H3 is already 5 years old be. My H3 makes Qualitatively almost better pictures. Well. maintenance is lacking but the Carl Zeiss Obektiv. Pay now put some money on it and get with the DSC-HX300.
