I test the camera now up about 8 weeks and could, on several occasions (including concert and holiday). I am Fotolaie and for me has to take pictures a camera easy. The camera fits comfortably in your hand and has a nice large display. The program is set using a small wheel at the top. And here is already a first minor complaint. The individual Proramme are still partially split into verschiende subroutines (eg beach shots or baby shots). For me personally it takes too many settings. While there is an automatic program, this is my opinion, however only suitable for shots a day. The second criticism is the manual (supplied on CD). The manual could be a little more extensive. For me, the terms are sometimes not adequately explained. Now to the photos. After one has and knows what program can be taken for what occasion, "fought" through the settings, the camera takes good photos. For me it happened occasionally that the camera is not set focus automatically. That was then but always remember that the object to be photographed was uniform in structure (eg curtain at the concert). Correct Class I find next to the optical zoom 16 times the video recording function. This can even make good shots at concerts. I would buy the camera repeatedly, the star deduction is available for the small, I mentioned shortcomings.
