The foldable touchscreen has more than a million focus points. This way, you can easily create vlogs and selfies and prevent blur. With the optical zoom of 5 times, you can get closer to your subject. In addition, you can shoot for a longer time in low-light situations with the large maximum aperture of f/1.8 to 2.8.

I was looking for a compact camera that I could take with me instead of my DSLR. I noticed that I thought it was too big and that's why I never took it with me. I wanted a camera that I wouldn't compromise on quality and that can transfer my photos to my phone via WiFi, again I can edit them with the Lightroom app and post them online. I certainly found that in this camera. I'm totally happy with it. Quality of the photos is good. The lens also works very well. The manual controls work well because you can use the touchscreen and there are dedicated buttons for certain settings. The standard filters are very nice, I especially like the grainy black and white filter.
The direct WiFi connection between camera and phone works well. Although I don't really know what the most practical settings are for the WiFi. Because you have to turn off your existing WiFi connection and ensure that it is not automatically selected again. This can happen because the phone notices that there is no internet connection when you are connected to the camera and therefore automatically pairs with a better WiFi. I understand that I can set it differently, but I haven't looked into that yet. I don't like the WPS link. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Plus, photos transfer only JPGs over WPS or Wi-Fi. For the RAW photos you really have to be on the SD card.
All in all I am super happy with the camera and I foresee that my beloved DSLR will no longer be used at all...
