£775.03 
An advanced premium compact, one of those devices that are called "pseudo SLRs". This model stands out primarily for its powerful optics, providing an optical zoom of up to 35x. With a relatively modest 12.1 megapixel sensor, the camera, however, can shoot 1080p video. The display is quite small — 2.7", 230K pixels; at the same time, it is made swivel and complemented by an electronic viewfinder with a frame coverage of 100%. The communications kit includes an HDMI output and a direct print function; an external flash connection is also provided.

Does a full frame make a difference? Is it worth buying a full-frame camera?Do I need to spend money on an expensive full frame or is it better to buy a cropped camera?..
