Compact all-rounder
- Pretty fast for a compact zoom camera
- Bright zoom lens
- Touch screen makes focusing easy
- Unfortunately, only up to 400 ISO is very usable, 800 ISO already produces noise.

Taking beautiful pictures very quickly and easily on auto settings, but also the option to set the camera completely manually for the expert. You quickly need a flash to take pictures indoors, otherwise noise can arise. Video mode is excellent , Dust and splash - proof was an important feature for me , as it broke my previous device .

Wanted to photograph birds again. But don't carry around huge bells. Saw this camera, the price and the reviews. Have it for a week and already the most beautiful sharp close up photos of Bluethroats, Tapuits, Karakiet, Reed Bunting Totally great.
