I photograph Passionate with my EOS 50D. But since you do not always want to lug around a large SLR with, I was looking for a suitable "snapshot camera". Wicht on the purchase was with a wide optical zoom (12x here with just awesome) to set a built-in stabilizer and as many creative programs to still some things like white balance, shutter speed, aperture, etc. itself. I struck gold with this camera. Even the slightly more experienced or semi-professional is so at his own expense. I am what the picture quality "spoiled" by the SLR, but this camera meets even in low light these claims. The colors come out well fed and very lifelike. Even so nice Fusatzfeatures as The Face Detection and HD videos are worth mentioning. Through these options it is easy to make a good picture. The image quality in HD video is very very good. Already have some favorable Viedeokameras seen that are not so good made videos. For short films to 10 minutes sufficient. Some complain about the restive Rezensionisten out driving flash. What I find as banal personally, because the flash only triggers if needed. Despite some small acting lightning I have to say that this brings a great light output. Even the background of the actual main motif is illuminated until almost in the corners. The noise performance to ISO 400 is for image sizes larger than A4 totally OK. About ISO 400 to 1600 are to be used only for 20 formats.
Conclusion: An absolute top camera for top price. The ideal travel companion / snapshot camera. I would buy me at any time.
