The ideal APN. All in one. The powerful zoom is quickly stabilized, enabling, including using digital zoom fully (x100), the perfect shot, even at low speed for who knows how to block arms and breathing (1 / 15th or 1 / 8th second). Together with the specific remote control directs all, it is a treat. Video (HD) is beautiful. You can not take a picture while filming, as on other brands, but it is not annoying. The PlayMemories software is to be used only if one started in digital photography because combined with the wifi transmission HX400 (slow), there is a loss of picture quality. Better to remove the card (personal Sandisk Extreme Pro 32GB for 3000 views) and put it into your PC drive. Remember, once your transferred photos, it is best to format the card, or when you want to check photos taken then, you might see a display ad absence of view older images deleted but leaving a trace on this card. GPS is very accurate. By cons (I read reviews of wildlife photographers), some birds do not support the ignition of the device and fly to feeling ultrasound. But it's the same for all brands. Put a UV filter on the lens that protects against accidents and scratches. The lens hood is not necessary. It would even be a handicap in wide angle, being in the field and leaving traces in the corners (I have a tulip). The Sony battery takes a long time, but these alternative (cheaper), too. Since April 2014, I'm over 13 000 photos carefree, Macro zoom at 50 (x2), day and night, as fixed movement. A success. Until the end of April 2015 (13th month, so more guaranteed) where a flashing message is displayed when switching on the device: E: 62: 10 In contact with Sony, no explanation of that message. Must register the device to the only after-sales service of France, Alsace and send the device without knowing how much it will cost you (in addition to port). Apparently it affects the anti-shake. Annoying in distant video and pictures at low speeds. By emphasizing the message has even transformed into E: 62: 12. And I'm not alone if you believe the forums.
