I was looking for a quality alternative for my wife because we travel a lot and especially a device that does not require a lot of settings. Since her enjoying. We were in San Francisco and she realized pictures at night to night view of a more than respectable quality and with very little "noise". It necessarily reached some limitations compared to an SLR with very expensive lenses, but the price / flexibility / quality is excellent. I recommend it. The video option is also very good.
