I can only say: Hats off! This camera is really worth the money. The exteriors are are sharp and have no noise in my opinion, also apply. One does not photograph with the full 9 MP indeed. 6 MP are entirely sufficient.
Since I very often go to concerts, I had to convince a few concerns when it comes to image quality in dark rooms, but these pictures myself fully. Only the long charging time for the flash is very annoying.
Previously, I had hardly any problems with the battery life. Who complains, should afford expensive 2400mAH batteries that hold for a while. Especially in the battery compartment, I see some advantages and disadvantages: on the one hand, it does not look very stable from, on the other hand you have to but not equal to hang the entire camera to the charger, or buy an expensive replacement battery. If on vacation simply times the battery let you down, do it if necessary even first simple batteries from the supermarket.
What I like:
+ The manual pop-up flash! The camera takes good pictures in low light conditions, such as at dusk. On a city trip you can catch at night also nice light.
+ The giant screen
+ The menu navigation - really well laid out
+ Zoom. 10x optical zoom is a great gimmick on a compact camera
+ The movie function. The zoom also works during filming and I could hear no noise Zoom. The picture and sound quality are good, even if you have no HD quality
+ Manual setting - the first step towards their own DSLR
What I do not like:
- The long flash charging time
- No optical viewfinder. You get used to it though, but I would like nevertheless an
- The extent! The camera is - through the big lens - correspondingly large and heavy. I do not, unfortunately, war simply in your pocket ...
Who do not mind the disadvantages and looking for a good compact camera for entertainment and travel, which is really good advice here! ;)
