The camera is a very good offer with its zoom, facilities and the handy size. The battery life is okay so far, for longer films throughout the day you would need certainly a spare battery. And here comes the scandal: the prices are really outrageous. The aid for camera shake is working very well, critics should times bear in mind what 50x optical means and which virtual "lever" is actually where one "wobbles" there. The smallest change in angle is at 500m quite a hike to "high-and-down". This compensates for the camera satisfactory - at a halfway steady hand fit the images, even at 50x zoom. I'm not a film professional (I would have chosen a different camera class), but compared to Sony cameras in this price range, this camera is probably the better choice. Just a pity that there is no 0-Lux system is installed, when the lighting is dim, the quality but noticeably. Touch screen is on board (with Sony not in the price range) so I have changed the brand. Connectors for microphone or lights not there would be something demands a lot, in the price category.
