Image quality

This have quite the nice build quality, are solid and have a nice feel to it.
Some parts are some sort of metal while others are plastic.
The plastic parts do still fell quite nice exept for the battery door which is made of some cheap plastic.
 


Conclusion

One of the nicer modern analogue zoom compacts I have tested so far.

Image quality looks well and have quite good sharpness for a long zoom lens.
Renders very nice with good bokeh and flare.
Some cases feel it to have a little flat contrast but in other cases looks great.

Operating the camera is very easy and works very well.
Light meter is great and it has a spot metering which is very handy.
This spot metering makes it possible to get a much more accurate exposure in difficult light condition like in backlight etc.
And this have worked great in most of the cases but not all.

AF system is accurate and fast to work with.
It also have a Ai AF system which is a continuous AF system much like servo AF which most SLRs with AF have.
This can be used under the sport mode in the camera.

So I must say that this is a great one for the most parts and are fairly pocket friendly.
Would rather have seen a lens which is wider and hopefully a bit faster and don't need to have that much tele.
It also have a quite noisy motor for the film advance and zoom.
This is however better than most of the similar cameras I have tested but I would not call is quiet.
