everyday use camera for the whole family

Processing:
The body is where it is held by the right hand, gummed and sits comfortably in the hand. The rest of the case is made of matt, rough plastic. Only the lens ring is smooth.
The display has the typical, size of 3 inches and triggers with acceptable 461,000 pixels. It is to be installed and not foldable. It is not a touch screen, but it often comes with your fingers on it and has unsightly Taper in no time on it. To protect it therefore immediately get a protective film.

Equipment:
The camera is made for beginners, leisure and holiday photographers and advanced amateur photographers. Switching on, set the dial to green car, press the button and get a good result. This may the Canon. But it allows the mode dial also settings in the exposure (M, Av, Tv). With the right behind the trigger that are available thumbwheel can adjust the respective values.
Compared to the Canon EOS 1200D knurled wheel, the wheel is a little stiff and especially the fine adjustment in small increments to the right, it jerky. Schade, the Canon can better.

The optical and image-stabilized 42x zoom equivalent in small picture format focal length 24-1008 mm. That's enormous! The pimple on the ladybug nose is no longer a problem.
The zoom can be operated by a lever on the trigger button. With a maximum aperture of F3.4 at wide angle to telephoto F6,0 during which Canon is a little weak on the chest. In low light, should not the zoom fully exploit because there is a danger that the results shake. Since tripod and remote release sensible helpers.
In macro mode shooting from 0 cm distance are possible. The adjustable light sensitivity of the sensor can be set between ISO 100 and ISO 3,200.

The built DIGIC image processor and the 4+ 16MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor so care at higher ISO speeds, low light for better luminous efficiency, better results and less image noise.

The various settings and programs:
Who wants to influence its outcome, which can select one of the scene programs. Here are portrait, low light, snow, fireworks available. There is also the possibility of the images various effects (Super Vivid, Poster, Fisheye, Miniature Effect, Toy Camera, black and white) add.
One can lead a film diary by before a photo is always a short movie clip is rotated.
Portrait photos is made easier if the Blink (alerts you when someone had their eyes closed when shooting) and the Smile timer (triggers when the subject smiles).
Continuous shooting may take up to 10 frames per second for 117 pictures in a row.

Shortcuts via separate button is available on video recording, exposure compensation / delete, continuous shooting and image viewing. At the 4-way button, you can still access macro, ISO, flash and display. A free personal settings to be assigned key does not exist. So if you want adjust frequently much that needs every time in the menu.

Zoom assistant:
If one has lost his motive in high zoom range, pressing a button on the side lens extends to briefly return to normal range. There you will find again his motive and the still visible can zoom frame immediately set on capturing. Leaving the button, the previous zoom is back.
For the telephoto range can be optimized by pressing a button, the image stabilizer.
Moving subjects can be kept in a pre-defined size. The camera detects the movement and automatically zooms with, so that the subject constantly remains the same size. A function that is awesome especially in sports, children and animal photography.

The Results:
A very important criterion in my cameras is the shutter speed. On vacation, at parties, with friends and family you have no studio conditions, the camera needs to focus quickly and trigger, otherwise the moment / the subject away. And she has, snapshots are not a problem, after nearly 2 seconds, it is ready for use again.

Should also be mentioned the lightning that fact does not work if necessary of its own accord high or is opened by a key, which has to be lifted by hand. I have seen for a long time any more camera.

The results of the camera are really recommended. They are clear and sharp, only at extreme zoom and low light they are sometimes at the edges slightly rauschig.
The 84-times digital zoom I sit only with stand or wall a etc., out of hand, the results are indeed recognized, but not presentable.

The video function:
The Canon can of course films, namely Full HD with 1920x1080 pixels with up to 30 frames per second. During the filming of the optical zoom can be used, single pictures can not be shot. The movies are stored (AVC compressed H.264 / MPEG-4) as MOV files. However, as I prefer to take a camcorder for filming, I hardly use this feature of the camera.

WLAN, NFS or the possibility for RAW images take the camera with, but then you have to dig deeper into their pockets.

Conclusion:
An everyday use camera with a very good zoom and knack sharp results. Operation is simple, with the automatic will also lay great results quickly and the different features can also still sufficiently advanced settings.
I can absolutely recommend for these purposes.
