I was not only looking for a super zoom bridge but also a camera with good options to try with.Lots and lots of features to explore, SLR like quality pics and what to say about HD video recording.its just amazing. Inbuilt Carl Zeiss lenses, has got 30x optical zoom with a image stabilizer. Battery takes only 100 minutes to charge fully and lasts for above 200 minutes Even if you just charge it for 30 minutes, the battery will last for 100 minutes. who would love to get SLR quality but can’t afford to buy a SLR lens.A stunning 18.2 mega pixel will bring a smile on your face every time you view your clicks. The worst thing about the camera- It is not capable of taking RAW images and does not have horse shoe.
