And since I have been 60 so far not disappointed with the Rollei S. The camera is small, robust, waterproof up to 3m (snorkeled I have not yet, but under water in the pool keeps them tight), dustproof, in short, on the beach and by the pool always there and ready to go.
I can not complain about the quality of images. As I said, you have to leave the church in the village and think about what kind of camera one has acquired there. In the lowest-priced, fixed focus. And for the S delivers 60 high-quality images.
You also have the chance to change some settings: Vibration can be switched on, sharpness can be changed, ISO sensitivity can be changed, so you can already do something to adjust the results to some extent also low light conditions. An SLR ists just not - and thus the shutter speeds are just to accept them as they are. The flash is very small, suitable for shooting until maybe 2-3 meters. For complete coverage of Gothic cathedrals can not hold a candle. The Stromfresserei adheres the way in limits, if one uses powerful 1100 mAh battery, commercially available AAA batteries sucks the Rollei quite quickly empty. But that do similar cameras to a similar degree. I can not find that my S 60 is worse than would be usual. Two AAA batteries provide just simply a total of not really look like much ... Besides, since even the tip: my camera "recovers" something if you eg off for a while and the flash turned off, so also there can be a bit to do something. The digital zoom should be used only by the way very well dosed. Otherwise it provides - as with all known to me comparable camera models the way also - only more unusable images.
Great for stable images - and great fun for my kids! - By the way, the Smile function. If you switch this feature on, the camera will automatically take a picture if it detects a smile. Turns Add to that the "Auto Off function" on, the camera will continue until the battery is empty. So: camera store, call children, ask them to smile once in the camera, because the can "conjure up" and only then make a picture when smiled. For my two rascals a blast laughing be crooked in this new game!
In conclusion: the S 60 is a cute little snapshot camera for close-range, which has been designed for (non-extreme) outdoor use and some put away (the accidental drop test from a low altitude [table] has several times successfully survived). In good lighting conditions it delivers stunning pictures (the film quality is fine, because there is but better solutions), in extreme situations (Dawn, Backlight, etc.) you will quickly reach its limits. Who can accept it, has a schnuckligen new friend. If you want more, simply must invest more. Anyway, I'm thrilled.
