The picture quality is amazing. To get the best pissible quality learn how to use manual mode. ( cannot emphasize how important that is) you can take better low light Photos your photos will be ever more vivid etc. Lots and lots of features in defferent modes. I took a still photo with flash to check the details. Another snap of same object qith low f stop in tubelight. Though I had 1/8000 sec flash sync in my previous camera. It is slightly cheaper when come to value for money it is acceptable and that too it is not too much expensive. The shutter speed is great.i really used that speed n battery life is working upto 5-6 hours continously by clicking. Thank you.
