The first camera of this type I bought two years ago - in a business such as Saturn. At that time she was of course "currently" and also more expensive. While the "old" from 2 years ago is still in order and in use, but there is at this price and in this equipment class no camera with an additional viewfinder and you no longer at regular batteries (AA). I carry the camera constantly in a pocket or purse with me and use it often outdoors for snapshots. And when the sun shines you can see with the sun at your back on the display (all cameras) his own (then annoying) face, but not the object that you really want to photograph. In the viewfinder, already! And the image in the viewfinder is even zoomed. Previously I had a camera with battery. And the capacity of such batteries is Li deutlichst (!) Under the two good AA batteries. And that's why I bought my second as a reserve, in case the first "old" give up the ghost, or even happen to lose. Because remember: Cameras of this quality and magnitude of recent construction are - with batteries and viewfinder - simply no longer manufactured. By the way: In my two copies, the images and the display are properly and not noisy.
