Perfect point and shoot! Slight lag when opening it but amazing quality for point and shoot! Need to work out all the settings also but I have been watching YouTube channels.

Normally I take photographs with a digital single lens reflex camera or DSLR. DSLRs are unbeatable for image quality, but they're big and heavy. I decided that I needed a compact camera to take with me on camping treks.

x30 zoom lens; Electronic viewfinder; Tilting screen; Inbuilt GPS receiver; Compactness

Image quality good; but could be better; Pop-up viewfinder and flash are fiddly to use; Video lacks time-lapse mode
