So, why did I purchase such a camera in the first place? Well, I was after a camera that I could take with me where I knew that one of my other system cameras wouldn't be used and that photography wasn't the reason for going there. I was after a camera with a large sensor had a fixed lens and a reasonable zoom on it. It had to be cheap! This is the only camera that offered all of the above at the time I purchased it. I got it cheap on ebay again.
The sensor was the overriding factor why I actually bought it, since my main system is m4/3 and this sensor is larger than the 4/3 sensor. There were probably better choices out there with even a larger sensor but they cost an arm and a leg. I didn't want to spend well over €400 for something that wasn't going to be used every day.
So, what's the image quality like? Actually very good as the above image shows. More images to follow in the coming days.
