this camera is so much has been written that my opinion almost superfluous. Nevertheless a few words summed up:
Pros and cons
Pro:
'- Good to very good picture quality!
- Up to ISO 400 is very little noise
- ISO 800 OK, 1600 standard, 3200 only if necessary
- Automatic switching display / EVF
'- Multiple adjustment options
- Relatively high-performance built-in flash
- No red-eye flash, even without pre-flash!
- 'Diverse Fokusierungsmöglichkeiten, also by hand in meter
- Extensive information on the display
- Battery indicator with residual maturity!
- Ingenious turning and folding screen
- Optional: CF card or Memory Stick
- No problems with dust on the sensor just like a DSLR
'- Focal range usually quite sufficient (24-120 mmm related to KB)
'- Additional digital zoom without loss, as far as image size
Cons:
'- Autofocus sometimes slow - but is passable
'- To use autofocus (with auxiliary light) in low light conditions hardly
- No "anti-shaker" (I have not missed in the focal length)
MW the only bridge camera with a large sensor. And it shows in the quality of the images. Really convincing!
The biggest mistake committed is to no longer continue this series Sony. Pity! A few small details could be improved, then this model would be perfect ...
In short: Who else could get hold of one, should strike !!! Because this camera is still (!) Is the best in the prosumer range. But the Zeiss lens is the money already worth - quite apart from the camera itself. ;-)
