It may be because the LCD is smaller in size and doesn't have the quality for such large size photos/videos. But I'm not complaining since photos and videos on computer looks alright.

The image stabilization especially during full zoom is amazing to say the least. Sure it'll want to move around but doesn't require a tripod if you can manage to hold it steadier. This coming from an Engineer with shaky hands and can't solder worth of anything hhahha So this is a huge plus I thought.

The most disappointing issue thus far with all the photos and videos I've taken is that it indeed does have chromatic aberrations when it encounters a high contrast area. For instance, while in Starbucks I sat underneath several small lamps. The brightest light beam from all of these lamps produced these vertical green/purple lines (they are big enough for me to not use the word streaks hehehe). It's tricky trying to maneuver the camera around once you encounter a situation like this but definitely avoidable.

Still not a bad starting camera for myself. At least now I can join my co-workers on their photo sessions during lunch with my own camera 🙂 They semi-professionals so it's always fun to hang out with them; but I'm can't see myself paying $5000 for a zoom lens 🙂
 
Do you know how fast it is?

I hate camera where you push the button and it takes like 3 seconds to take the picture
