First had the Sony Cybershot DSC-HX400V at home but it did not film in 4K (device released in 2014) and in full HD it was in a codec of Sony itself, which meant that you have to convert first if you want to view the content on an android device. Now you can say, it is a camera so you take pictures with it, but once you look at the quality of the zoom of such bridge cameras, you also want to film something with such zoom options. So Sony sent it back and had the SX70 HS delivered by Canon. The first thing you notice is that the device fits perfectly in your hand and that, apart from the on/off button, all other buttons are perfectly in place. The menus are also very clear and are displayed on a clear screen. Which brings me to the next plus: the viewfinder, it has more than double the number of pixels than comparable devices, so you can see your subject razor sharp, this is certainly not the case with other devices (not with the Sony anyway) and is a real improvement, especially when you draw in full sun and your screen becomes difficult to read. As already mentioned, the zoom is Fantastic! You can photograph birds from 20 to 30 meters full screen, and then we only use the 65X optical zoom. Further digital zooming does require a tripod, but up to 65X the image stabilization ensures that you can even shoot with one hand. But there is also a downside: when you set the device to automatic, the indoor performance is downright lousy. The colors are reproduced very realistically, but the sharpness cannot compete with the camera of a high-end smartphone, for example. Which is a bit of a missed opportunity for a device with this price. On the other hand, you don't buy a super zoom camera to shoot mainly indoors. In any case, I am very enthusiastic about the device and I am really shocked by the good quality with zoomed photos. An absolute must for enthusiasts who like to photograph something but cannot get close to it, such as birds, in animal parks, etc.

This device has many possibilities and takes nice sharp photos, even with the large zoom range. I mostly use the device for outdoor photography. I prefer not to use flash indoors and the photos are good even then. So far I haven't been able to find any downsides. It's a great device for this price!

The zoom is improbable, not only optically, but the digital zoom part up to 130x seems better than zooming in on an existing photo
