The battery life is outstanding, initially I thought to exceed the 200-250 photos with battery. Ben I am much although I often look increasingly the pictures I took.
The big zoom is nice, although when you approach the 50x, you are forcing BE tripod or at least a stable surface, otherwise the picture will be blurry.
The zoom is not as responsive as a reflex (obviously since it was attended), so to play with AC few seconds to more than a reflex, but remember, it's a bridge.
In conclusion, this is an ideal camera for novices (like me) who love beautiful pictures, and did not want to sembĂȘter with several goals and whose automatic mode handles very well the pictures.
Buy an extra battery with an external charger and you'll be quiet for your output.
