Pros: Sharpness of optical zoom (at least up to about 25-30x), realistic colors, manual functions, creative options, burst, macro, moon. Perfect on bright days

Cons: Loses sharpness over 30x of optics, fragile (broken) stabilizer, high noise in low light, video at extended focal lengths does not focus

Opinion: The camera does its duty, it is excellent as a travel camera for those like me who can not do without such an optical zoom. It is also good for nature photography, moving animals, birds, landscapes. Like all Sony has a good but very fragile stabilizer, which passed the warranty goes into error (it works not as before but well the same). The best photos like any compact-bridge does them outdoors, in good lighting conditions it brings out excellent shots. Even inside it does not go badly, but only with good light. Good macro photos - especially flowers and plants. The lunar photographs are also excellent, quite sharp even at 50x. Discrete videos within 8-10x zoom, to be avoided beyond this threshold, focus - if successful - after many, too many attempts. Overall it's a great bridge camera! 8.5/10 seems right to me!

Pros: Good value for money, burst, excellent display even in high light conditions, amazing stabilizer, precise white balance, focusing like a lock and hanging even in the dark ... Beautiful JPGs I hardly have problems working and often do not require PP, powerful Zeiss home zoom and great quality in its versatility, direct macro that does not need cam settings.

Cons: Large if discrete ... White Balance Adjustment Menu is far from other settings, such as contrast, sharpness and color saturation, but you can use a dedicated key to have it at your fingertips, which I will do shortly. ... Rotelina at the top right that would be much more comfortable moved left next to the viewfinder ...

Opinion: Hi, after about 3 months using this Sony and almost 4000 shots, I feel able to say something about it ... This Sony with Zoom 50X optical is very good, even up to 100X in digital the result is good and it is you can also take a free hand with very little difficulty thanks to an excellent stabilizer, of course the extraordinaryness of this machine is the quality factor in its versatility ... Taking it with this car is fun, taking pictures a mile away with satisfactory results .. ISO is discrete, I would say in the average of discrete machines from this point of view, 4000 iso has a special feature of multiple shots that allows you to have really good results, of course, all depends on the type of light of the moment, but I can say that if the photos are used to see them on screen or for A3-A4 prints or medium-sized classic, the result will be good .... The iso speech is very individual, it depends on what type of pictures like to do .... it snaps most of the timeorno or even at sunset, then this Sony is very beautiful, the stabilizer lets you shoot in half a second "I can, for now that I have a good firm hand" but if you want great results with little light just use the three feet and the result comes out serenely because in this manual this machine is the best of it, like everything else ... Ultimately, it has everything it takes to shoot in a manual like a reflex, from being able to manually focus on everything else, and the menu is quite wide .... rnFelice of choice, though unfortunately I missed a passion for sure that in the future will make me spend a lot of money for a car as I say, choice I can do in comfort, since this car now suits me ... Vote 9, the quality ratio is good at its versatility with the 50X zoom .... rn

Pros: Ergonomics, Zeiss lenses, excellent value prezzo.rn

Cons: A bit 'plasticky, lack of the slide to flash.

Opinion: As Bridge is excellent, although the zoom range of course does not guarantee quality to the maximum extent of the same focal length, not to mention the virtually unused Zoom in digitale.rnDa old amateur photographer I still think the Bridge, even in the proposed value , of compattone with obvious limitations compared to an SLR.
