dont matter
* How important is “image quality” to you? (Rate using a scale of 1-10)
7
Do you care for manual controls?
somewhat, i just want a good macro mode, as close to 1cm as possible
General Usage
* What will you generally use the camera for?
photographing plants and vehicles.

no
Will you be shooting a lot of indoor photos or low light photos?

Will you be shooting sports and/or action photos?
not really
Miscellaneous
