I´ve
tested this camera for two weeks and then i send it back. It´s
great to handle this camera, but the picture quality isn´t
so fantastic, how you should can expect from a camera in this
league. It has a lot of special features which are very useful
to take great pictures, but that wasn´t enough to convince
me.
