A for-almost-Alles..mit fun

Recently returned encountered by chance on the Nikon P600, because I was actually looking for a telephoto for Sony @ 57.
I then be able to test in the P600 at a photo specialists ... and I must say I was impressed by the sharpness, color reproduction, brilliance and the work of the image stabilizer, because something I did not expect. Setting Program Mode: Standard, exposure -0.3, Sharpness + 1, Farbsättig. +1, Active D-lightning N!
I must admit that the P600 needs at power a little longer. Pace depends eventl.von faster SD card (10).
However, when focusing, she was fast enough in enough light, fail even in twilight (800iso) ..it unless you zoom too.
For street lighting I have made sharp photos of subjects with good color rendering, barely visible noise in just 100m distance at ISO 1600, 1 / 4sec, 1000mm focal length of the steady hand.
The small electric. Seekers should be considered only as a control monitor, but what the green focus frame is always 100% sharp. (See note at the end of such macro focus) *
Days after that I then freehand with the scenes -Mondprogramm attempt started with Jupiter 60X aufzunehmen..und actually with some (-) brightness correction, I could even see all four moons with Jupiter very well in the middle.
Nikon has here developed a lens that up especially in the telephoto end an excellent sharpness free maps of Macro of Chroma, the first has to find his equal, to for that price !! Nikon would adjust the internal process and FokussierGeschwindikeit there would certainly hardly any complaints, but where the price would have been?

The service options are very diverse, but one would have wished further assignable shortcut keys.
If you want to control all functions reliably, you can not avoid practice, patience and accurate reading of the instructions!

In video mode, I have 1080 50i and 25p tested with the 25p shows better pictures.
The quality is similar to photos and very good, just has to focus in low light occasionally hit problems.
switching to singelfokus has led to no change. Apparently is only possible continue or programmed.
A fun possibility offers movies in fast mode, fast motion or slow motion record.
For me, the camera is also due to their ease just awesome, I do not see them as the only alternative to a DSLR, but as good 2.Kamera because the produced images are also available on a 46er LED artifacts completely free if you do not want to zoom.

Update 03/12/2014

To test the lens on its own again, I took the opportunity of the clear night sky, the camera on
a tripod set, stabilizer off, manual mode with free exposure and man.Fokus infinity, shutter open, ISO 100, object (Jupiter) searched then full zoom and refocus on seitl.Objektivsteller and brightness control and recording at 1/25 sec, aperture 5 , 6 ... the camera brightens the picture something on at night, so you have to expose a little shorter, trial with several Aufnahmen..ich could thus identify structures in the Jovian atmosphere, just as the (time between 3) Monde circular without any distortion, decentering or diffraction rings, only marginally disturbed by air turbulence. Overall, some photos had (only for the purpose of greater Dartstellung) increased over the dynamics Fine Zoom something.
You could tell that the objective had not yet arrived at its performance limit, the image sensor visually apparent by the formation of noise u grid artifacts already thereto.
The approximate theoreth. maximum magnification of the lens is expected at D = 45mm aperture (D in mm x 2) = CA are 90-fold.

In earlier times, a zoom camera has always been a poor optical compromise. Now we have over the entire zoom range, especially in the telecommunications, apart from a little more light scattering over a fixed focal length, an attractive level of sharpness and contrast.
The smaller image sensor, however, there in less Blendenöffng from 6.3 to 7.6 diffraction blur. Good to see the wide angle end (landscape infinity).
Tip: Set on fixed aperture (Program Mode A) 3.5, then the iris opens regardless of the zoom always on max.

Criticism I have to practice at the on-off button. You often see in daylight not whether the camera is active or in standby mode! Similarly, the responses of all keys should be much faster!
Despite its slowness, I must give full marks for appearance and image quality.

* Note to the macro function: If you activate this, the focus will take except in the macro range total länger..ich but could not detect any loss of sharpness up to telephoto. Without macro you should depending on the zoom position, at least about 50 cm object distance keep (applies only to AF target search (default). Closer to medium-sized objects are illustrated as sharp in the green focus frame, are there but below 50cm even at wide angle not.
Manual AF area mode (point) is, however, sharply from approx 15cm.
If you want to birds, planes etc so take previously recommended a switch to Landscape focus (mountain symbol)
