Key Advantages

High-resolution 18.2 MP sensor delivers sharp and detailed images suitable for large prints and cropping. The extensive 30x optical zoom provides extraordinary versatility in framing distant subjects without loss of quality. Full HD 1080p video recording at 60fps enables smooth and clear cinematic video capture. Optical SteadyShot stabilization significantly reduces motion blur allowing handheld shooting at slower shutter speeds. The integrated GPS uniquely logs location data enhancing travel photography organization. Wide ISO range and manual control options offer creative freedom and adaptability in diverse lighting situations.

Limitations

The relatively small 1/2.3-inch sensor size limits dynamic range and low-light performance compared to larger sensor cameras. The bulky size and weight make it less convenient for casual or travel photography compared to compact models. Autofocus speed may be slower in low contrast or dim environments due to bridge camera design. Limited RAW image shooting modes reduce flexibility compared to higher-end DSLR or mirrorless models. Battery life is moderate and may require carrying spare batteries for extended shooting sessions. LCD screen is fixed and not articulating, which can restrict shooting angles in certain scenarios.
