Can you still keep 50x zoom at all? Yes, you can, even surprisingly well. Even if the sun does not shine is the autofocus immediately because, the Image Stabilizer operates and the image is sharp. At the high focal length that happens quite the time a small road will continue forward sharply, but Committee at the high focal length is acceptable. Which DSLR has at 1200mm focal length at all AF? Great for taking pictures of animals and bird photography.
If the camera is suitable for snapshots? Definitely. Whenever the lighting conditions are good, it is faster than anything else what I thought until now in hand. In low light, they sometimes look for something, like everyone else. But in good light as I said it is faster than others.
Accessories? Finally there is a filter thread. Both the H100, and the HX200 had not. That may not be so important for many, but for landscapes I can only recommend a polarizing filter, it will bring the final out of the picture out and the photos go also like a DSLR photos by.
Haptics? The camera fits comfortably in your hand, all the buttons are there where they belong, one or the other might have something may be "less" plastic. Mir is the handle almost too big, so who has the "right" men's hands, which it is certainly true good in the hand.
Viewfinder? The viewfinder does not exactly like in the HX200V, but not turned on by itself to, which I find a pity but a matter of taste. Also I would like to see a higher resolution, the best nor the OLED viewfinder of SLT-A77V out, but then the camera would have been certainly more expensive, but that's why I give it 5 stars.
Image Quality? The exmorr sensor is definitely better than CCDs in older / cheaper cameras. The photos are class even in low lighting conditions.
Functionality: The Panorama function I can only recommend! Especially in view of a flat screen TV comes the really good. Otherwise, the automatic and hands me I did not much different set macro you do not have to adjust, which recognizes the camera on its own, and many other things.
Conclusion: Ingenious camera price is justified, a lot of functions, but also in the automatic very good results
