I owned more than a dozen cameras of different makes and models, including several other SONYs. My last purchase was a SONY DSC-HX400V which I was the proud owner for two and a half years, during which time it ran smoothly.

I have very little knowledge of photography and I wanted to step up from my old compact with a view to learning more about photography and being able to take good pictures in a range of situations including promotional shots for my gardening business.

Bought last month and used a few times since. Camera was as expected but I chose also on the basis of the WiFi connection for ease of downloading while on holiday. The info provided is particularly poor and took me almost a week to finally get it working by researching a myriad of chat rooms.
