>>3347018Sensor's not that bad. It's immediately below inch sensors, and being new brings a lot to the table as well, but cam really isn't the best choice at all for beginners. I mean, entry dslr's with kit lenses go for same cash, and you can get raw shooting pointandshoots as well. ZS60 shoots raw, has better battery, f3.3 as opposed to f4. It'll be worse at longer end, like all pontandshoots, but raw alone will outweigh everything at wider focal distance. Invest a little more and you can get tg-5. Watertight and f2 lens. Or even first Sony's rx100 with inch sensor. All new, not even looking at the used market.
