Any drawbacks with this camera are fairly minor, and I was aware of them beforehand (e.g. weight, forward-heaviness when in full zoom, difficulties stabilising image at full zoom). The pluses are absolutely fabulous, e.g. being able to capture details of a wild parrot in a tree 40m away. So far I haven't used a tripod, so the photos are softer than they would be with perfect stability, but they are still very usable for what I want, and a tripod is easy to get. It takes a grand photo of the moon. I bought the camera to take wildlife photos to use as source material for paintings, and so far it's performing exactly as I would have wished. One more negative is the short battery life, but I found that charging it only until the light went out was the way to get maximum battery function. Also don't zoom in and out endlessly; the length of the zoom and constant back-and-forth motion will chew up battery time. These are slight drawbacks; the camera easily deserves more than 4 stars, and I am extremely pleased with what it can do. Being able to zoom to capture details a distant raptor but also focus on a tiny moth without changing lenses makes this an amazing camera indeed.Read full review

Nice camera once you get to know it. Turn image stabilizer OFF if you are using a tripod for much better photos. This setting is great while using the camera hand held, but you can do better with it off and using a tripod, especially so if you use the timer and there is zilch zero movement on the camera when it takes the shot..! It's a perfect allrounder camera bang for buck $$$$

As a professional photographer I would recommend this camera as a great all round camera. It is a bit of a compromise on still photos compared to some of the top end cameras but excellent for videos. It has an amazing zoom capacity and this means that most photo genres can be achieved without a vast array of different lenses, which would be required for nearly all other cameras.

Mechanical zoom is fantastic. (But why only use a 16mp sensor ? So could be better in low light & res.) Over all a great camera for point & shoot, price etc. Still learning the fine points eg. Timer needs to be set for each shot. [Maybe it can be dedicated?]

This camera rocks. The zoom is amazing. Has a hot shoe for external mic & other accessories. Supports RAW, 4K. Great.
