I bought this camera three years ago and today (2017) I am superior to most cameras. The video is fantastic and the photos are just as fantastic. The camera is easy to use. The only thing I would change is the location of the film button. This is a minor point, and the new Sony cameras have a video button at the top for ease of use. Zeiss lenses are second to none, and a true 5x optical zoom is sufficient for most situations. Digital zoom is fine, but pixelation can be a factor. I rarely use the 16MP setting except for very unique photos. 5 megapixels are enough for almost everything I photograph. Will definitely buy again and recommend to my friends.
