What else could we possibly want for that price? The latest drop in price of $1,200 supports my assessment. But since I was upgrading from an Olympus SZ-10, the price increased from $7,000 to $10,000. Such as this. You should not naively trust the manufacturer's stated specifications. I'm trying to figure out a solution to the problem right now. Includes advantages: They don't even exist, you know. Unless you count the Zoom as a stretch. It has trouble focusing at high magnification. The downsides: But, even though I am not an expert, I can see several flaws. To begin with, it does not deliver on its advertised 20 megapixels, delivering at most 12. Even though the resolution of the video is 1280x1080, it is more likely to be just 720x640. While filming a video and adjusting the Zoom, the focus is obviously delayed; you'd like to adjust it manually, but the option isn't available. Although the best lenses have an aperture of 1:2, this one is only 1:3.4. There are a dozen more things that could be improved upon, but they aren't really that obvious.
