Key Advantages

The 60x optical zoom lens provides exceptional reach without the need for interchangeable lenses, making it highly versatile for wildlife or sports photography.

Its compact and lightweight design makes it ideal for travel photographers seeking high zoom in a portable package.

High-resolution 16MP sensor delivers detailed images suitable for large prints and cropping flexibility.

Full HD video recording adds multimedia capability beyond still images.

Built-in Wi-Fi enables easy image transfer and remote camera control enhancing convenience.

Vari-angle LCD screen adds compositional flexibility particularly for low or high angle shots.

Limitations

The 1/2.3-inch sensor size limits low light performance compared to larger sensor cameras, resulting in noticeable noise at higher ISO settings.

Autofocus can be slower and less accurate in dim lighting or at maximum zoom range due to the extreme focal length.

The electronic viewfinder resolution may appear lower compared to optical viewfinders found on DSLRs or mirrorless cameras.

No 4K video recording capability as newer models offer, restricting video resolution to 1080p.

Some users may find the battery life limited during intensive zoom and video usage sessions.

Controls and menu system can be complex for beginners unfamiliar with advanced camera settings.
