With the Fuji F70EXR I have my "personal compromise" found. It makes one thing above all - really great photos, and that is what really counts! Your image quality is in standard formats, such as 10 x barely or not at all to distinguish 15 cm from an SLR. But her excellent photo quality does not reveal the pure automatic mode because it tends namely to overexposure and sluggish, dull colors, which is why some think the camera scamp. It takes about half a day, until you have found the correct settings. From then on the little Fuji makes a lot of fun and provides very excellent image quality.
Here are my favorite settings for top photos:
DAYTIME: EXR DR mode, Auto ISO 400, DR-Auto, white balance "cloudy", -1/3 EV, Film Astia / Soft (for pure landscape / holiday motives sometimes Velvia), picture size M, Fine, AE multi-pattern, with people photos facial recognition to
EVENING / LOWLIGHT: EXR SN mode, Auto ISO 800, DR-Auto, white balance, "Auto" (also comes very well with artificial lighting), EV - 1/3, Film Astia / Soft, picture size M, Fine, AE Evaluative, flash to "Auto", when people photos facial recognition on.
About all the technical details was already written enough and it is true that the video mode is not particularly outstanding, but it makes up the good image quality (if you set the camera correctly, which is not difficult).
For me, the Fuji F70EXR an ideal travel, portrait and Allround camera in an elegant design for is "always there" become that fits in a shirt pocket, is snapshot fit and with its 10x zoom is very flexible and genuine WW to telephoto covers everything, what the photographer wants. From the picture quality here, I think the Fujifilm F70EXR is currently at least for one of the best cameras in the compact class.
Strong buy recommendation! Since remainders only be sold, I would hurry up because it is quality and price is a real bargain.
