Key Advantages
High-resolution Exmor R CMOS sensor ensures excellent image quality, especially in low light. The 3.5-inch touch screen LCD provides easy and intuitive camera controls. Full HD 1080i video recording with stereo sound offers enhanced multimedia capabilities.
The inclusion of GPS geotagging allows automatic recording of location data on photos. Advanced image stabilization helps reduce blur caused by hand movement. The compact and sleek design makes it highly portable and stylish for everyday use.
Limitations
The battery life is relatively limited compared to newer models, requiring frequent recharges during extended use. The 4x optical zoom might be insufficient for users needing longer focal length reach. The touchscreen responsiveness, while innovative at release, can be less precise than modern capacitive screens.
RAW image format support is basic compared to professional cameras. Low light performance, although improved, can still present noise in very dark conditions. Limited manual control options may restrict advanced photographers seeking full manual settings.
