Decent camera but not worth the price tag

on September 2, 2015

Posted by: Ossaris

Verified Purchase:Yes

A bit of background. I do photography professionally and was looking for a point and shoot to keep in the car for those moments where I did not want to break out my rig/did not have it with me. It's an OK camera, if you don't do a lot of motion/low light. The aperture, sensor, and auto ISO simply don't do well in the dark or with motion unless you hold it impressively still. Most of the pictures I have taken so far have been blurry, grainy or a combination of both. Being a long-time Canon user (I've owned a few powershots, a T1i, 60D, 5D.... you get the point), I was actually rather disappointed with the device. Considering the price tag, I would have expected better performance. My cell phone takes a better picture most of the time. I give this camera two stars. The zoom is pretty fantastic and when the camera gets the picture right, it looks awesome - rivaling some of my DSLR shots but, unfortunately, they are few in number.

Considering everything, I acknowledge my bias considering that I am spoiled by better equipment (DLSR beats point and shoot any day). If I did this recreationally and was just looking for a camera that worked, this camera is decent, but I'd likely go for a more affordable one. Some of the cheaper point and shoots lose some image quality (megapixels) but have better stability, resulting in an overall better picture. Most of the cost for this camera comes from the quality and zoom. I'd trade them for an improved OS any day.
