But after closer inspection, tackle problems and trying out, I could see that everything is processed squeaky clean. No gaps, no knartzt or crunches. The lens extends clean and stable and a. Since you can not complain really. So tried the camera, especially, of course, the end points of the enormous focal length range. What is initially striking the pleasant absolutely calm and clear viewfinder. Whether 20mm or 1200mm, the image stabilizer is highly effective and the scene select functions without problems even in extreme telephoto. The Image Stabilization is so effective that in normal light conditions and a fixed ISO setting of ISO200 in automatic mode perfectly exposed and sharp images crack out of his hand formed. In bad light and Auto ISO but begins at ISO800 slight noise. Not really disturbing and probably can not be prevented Because it bothers already more that occur in WW range of 20mm to 30mm strong Vignetierungen, then they're gone. Vignetierungen can indeed be removed in the post, but who has since been truly desire to, so a star deduction. This of course is whining at a high level. For about 300, - Euro you get here is a megazoom camera that makes really good pictures and pushes forward in focal length areas that were until recently inaccessible, or not really usable.
