The ratio of price and quality is very pleasing, I will repeat the purchase.

Acomuple of tips:

● Go to the menu - power management - high efficiency - click "on. " (this will increase powercomnsumption, but at the expense of this, the focusing speed will increase).
● It is better to set the focus area to "one point", so he thinks less and acts faster.
● The diffraction limit of this camera is F/6.7 (mathematically), but the difference from F/8 at 100% magnification is unrealistic to notice by eye. At F / 11, the image becomes approximately the same sharpness as F / 2.8, which is not critical, but at F / 16 there is alreadycomncrete soap.
● If you need to shoot something on video at night, and ISO 6400 is not enough, then 4K with its 15 frames per second will be very useful, because only in this mode will it be possible to set such a slow shutter speed of 1/15 second. This will be enough even for filming gatherings in the forest around the fire. The image will be a little smooth and blurry, but pleasing to the eye. An example of night shooting in 4K 15 fps on this Fujik: 
● Dry numbers on video.
4K 15fps - bitrate 70-90Mbps 1 minute. ≈ 800 MB. The weight of one frame is 720 Kb.
FullHD 24fps - bitrate 35Mbps 1 minute. ≈ 260 MB. The weight of one frame is 185 Kb.
FullHD 60fps - bitrate 35Mbps 1 minute. ≈ 258 MB. The weight of one frame is 72 Kb.
Conclusion: a picture with 24 fps will be subject to the leastcompression.

Pros

● Now carrying a device with an APS-C sensor has become no more burdensome than a pack of cigarettes. ● For such a compact size, the photo quality at high ISOs is unimaginable! Pocket lord of darkness, not otherwise! Night photo at ISO 12800 attached. ● Doesn't attract attention, and new friends won't be called a photographer the next time they meet :)

Cons

● Software limit ISO sensitivity to 6400 in video. Given the not too light F / 2.8 glass, this may not be enough in some situations. Why they did this is a mystery to me. ● Slow autofocus, but that's the price of being ultra-compact and I agree with it. Better than reducing the quality / sharpness / pattern of the lens.
