Große, leichte Kompaktkamera mit manuellen Funktionen, Superzoom und Netzwerkfunktion. Pluspunkte: guter Monitor, grundlegende Handgriffe funktionieren einfach. Kamera insgesamt befriedigend, mit Tendenz zum Gut.

Keine Kamera für Profis, sondern ein einfach zu bedienendes Modell mit Riesen-Zoom - gut für eine Reise mit leichtem Gepäck. Die Bildqualität ist bei Tageslicht richtig gut. Wenn´s dunkel wird, sollte der Blitz für Extra-Licht sorgen.
