A small super machine that you hold in your hand. And you should not want to set yourself too much, so the fully automatic is very good in almost all respects. Only with the participation of the flash you should decide for yourself. But what bothers me a little bit, the objective lenses are remunerated not really high quality. Too much scattered light in the lens makes sometimes for far too faint images. It therefore makes sense to use an image editing program such as Photoshop Elements. But for the layman and the photo interested, this is a cheap entry-level camera. The large zoom range alone is awesome, to the really focusing end macro range, which is the highlight of this camera in my opinion. Recommended, Camera
