The camera follows same design philosophy as dslr camera but this camera is very light weight and also very compact camera so its easy to operate with single handly. Picture quality is really very good with some manual modes. Battery life is decent in this camera cause I take 800 pic and also video recording 1hour in a single charge. Its gave 12.3 megapixel camera which done decent job. Shutter quality is good. Focusing on subject quality is pretty good but need improvement. There are some manual modes available to click good photos.overall its a awesome camera in this price point.
