Very smooth camera that takes great pictures with huge zoom, 42X, which is about 28X magnification when it is wide. Do not really agree with the others, who complain byggkvalitéten (want them to have it built in cast iron?) And does not take good pictures in dark environments.

Overall I have really enjoyed this camera. This was my first bridge camera so for me this camera was absolutely outstanding. I have used it mostly to photograph animals and wildlife so the zoom capabilities are great for what I use it for. As great as the camera is, it also has some downfalls.
