"Light weight and easy to handle. Imagages are very sharp and bright."

"Great clear shots, good focus and great zoom range. Produces really good sharp images"

"I have noticed, on occasion, focus has been a bit slow at extreme focal length. The camera ultimately finds the mark, but there is a bit of hunting"
