Have the Sony DSC-N2 compared with Finepix F30, E900 and Coolpix P4. The Sony can not compete with the Finepix E900 in terms of detail and sharpness. I must also criticize the lack of viewfinder. The price is steep.
The display and the menu navigation of the Sony is easy. It does not require manual. However, the noise from ISO 400 is clearly visible.
