Camera satisfies realistic expectations of a cheap compact camera fully. I used previously for several years intensively the model A520, which I lost one day :-( and was looking for a worthy successor - which does not really exist. the operator needs no explanation that is amazingly versatile and good electronics that are significantly better than photos on display recognizable. the housing is also much more expensive compared to the previous models, "plastic" = cautious treatment is called for. is distinct disadvantage that the camera, despite assurances to the contrary from the manufacturer with no matter how good batteries can not cope, the apparently opposite batteries lower voltage ranges for the large display and the strong not flash off. -> Good, functional camera for simple / common applications.
