A good megazoom camera at a reasonable price.The camera comes with a very good quality Schneider Kreuznach Varigon tele wide angle zoom lens.I have been using this camera for last 6-7 months.This gives very good quality pictures even at the maximum zoom.It has a very effective image stabilizer.So handheld shots are quite good even at the highest zoom. HD video quality is reasonably good.
Only flaw in video recording is that one can see little noise due to change in focus while changing zoom or target. It is a ideal first camera for aspiring wild life fotographers.One can consider it as a good semi SLR with full manual control, before stepping onto full SLR photography, as I have graduated myself.The bottom line is that it is the best value for money megazoom camera available at present in India.The main drawback is very poor service of Kodak..
