Versatility currently the best

Since the current evaluation of this camera has some difficulties, please consider the following as possibly helpful hints. The Pana I've tested in direct comparison to Sony DSC-HX50 and offers little worse image quality but better versatility and ease of use.
... What the DSC does not have:
- Albeit small and delicate - a seeker who has been extensively tested and proven itself has,
- The automatic functions in Pana are qualitatively much better
- HSS shots with 100 or 200 images / sec. in VGA quality, perfectly adequate,
- Lens ring with plenty of functions assignable, also as EV wheel, in manual mode a terrific asset,
- EV-wheel at the DSC is low Außentemparatur incorrect adjusted because the settings are constantly saying further "wander", in manual mode, no photography will become possible,
- Monitor brightness can be adjusted automatically to the ambient brightness adapts to,
- ISO-limit may be set very helpful as greater latitude possible
- Color of the images clearly fresh, when Sony had rather be optimized "to"
- Menu navigation through Quick menu button a lot more comfortable in the Sony must constantly "shimmy" through the entire menu bar,
- Aspect Ratio 3: 2 with 16MP + 10,5MP or 7MP, good compromise between 16: klasisch 3: 9 (HD monitor) or 4
- Integrated flash, when Sony expanded very sensitive,
-. WiFi function including Pana app works very convenient as well as exposure and focus are in addition to the Zoom + trigger operated in accordance with the preset modes on the camera via tablet or smartphone,
- The second mode dial for exposure compensation when Sony releases at the TZ61 pressure on the EV-wheel,

Overall, I can find no big difference in the quality of images, have some photos taken from the moon, the of Sony are there a bit sharper when deeper look, but that's not so much.
RAW images I have not tested, and does not play a big role, GPS works very well, and again, no great value position on my part.
Software "Play Memory Home" does not show any data, such as zoom settings; "PHOTOfunSTUDIO" of Pana has as a full range of information on image recording, GPS, etc.
Did the way the Nikon S9700 and SX700 can test short, but are not as well equipped from the comforts of the TZ61, the menu guides are based on the P510 or the SX50hs, I did not like.
Conclusion: Overall, the TZ61 already in the lead, with the overall quality, I am very pleased with the wide-angle through to iZoom, only from DigiZoom over 100 weakens the sharpness, but so do the "others" also.
