Its AMAZING...n14Megapixels and 10X Zoom nWhich is much more similar to the Sony HX70 - Which is costing you 14K approximately.nnBut the Brand Name - As it says OLYMPUS , Its not so reliable like others - Sony , Canon and Nikon
1)Features to money: One of the best cameras with great value for money. Loads of features for a point and shoot camera at such price.n2)Quality of photo: The images without flash are best if you work in daylight. if you donot sue flash at night ensure that you have the stiffest of hands .The image stabilisation does not work well. In night mode also you have to ensure that teh subject is still otherwise its a mess. Though images are pretty good if every thing is still. Excellent zoom have to agree. i took the closest snap of the Taj mahal standing from the gate.n3) Video: I dont agree that the HD video is good at all.Its quite blurry if you try to zoom . Strangely there was no need to put the mic on the zoom lens . So if you want to zoom you can only digital zoom and not optical zoom. This distorts the picture clarity. And during video if you move you camera fast your lens takes a few second to refocus thus the video and sound is out of sync. There is no pause button for video shooting which i even have in my camera phone. SO if you dont want to shoot some thing then each time you create a new video.n4)The battery life is a bit short.for nearly 300 photos it works fine then shows low battery.nOver all pretty good buy if you dont want best shots for night.
