There are numerous settings, the photo quality is really impressive for the size of the camera and can be proud of. The zoom is really very very good and even at 30x optical zoom you can take pictures with a little practice, completely without a tripod and still gets beautiful, sharp images.
Two stars deduction there for the following reasons:
1) you see on the display is absolutely nothing in sunny weather. Since you can only guess what one straightens the lens. This of course, the focus can not be controlled. The result can be seen then only if one looks at the PC through the photos in the shade or even just at home. This really is absolutely useless !!!
2.) The frequently mentioned equipment such as the viewfinder does not exist. At least not inexpensive. Here at Amazon for example and elsewhere in the Net you will find only one. But I pay under warranty no 339, - Euro for a viewfinder when the camera 199, - Euro cost. The price is ridiculous !!! I would possibly for accessories a SLR, but not for this compact camera.
3.) The charging cable consists of 3 parts. Plug of Schuko to transformer, transformer, cable from transformer to USB. What's that supposed to be good, please ??
All in all you can so that when the sun does not really take pictures, the viewfinder (previously found only one) is too expensive and is in general no relation to the price of the camera.
I'll keep the camera while I am anyway not the top photographer and just so amateur photos knipse in holiday and leisure. I also is the effort with boxing, postal bring etc simply contrary. A Best Buy is not this part of my opinion. Although the quality of the images and the zoom really impress, yet outweigh those pesky negative facts.
