Image Quality:
Despite its size, it offers an encouragingly high level image for Cam this price range.
Certainly also due to the fact that a comparatively large chip is used: The CCD is at least 1 / 1.7 inch!
The Zommbereich (24 - 120mm KB) should be sufficient for most major recordings - especially liked the 24mm wide angle is very good - a lot of beginners Cams content with 28mm - as simple as more landscape or party's image on!
The focus in the macro range has clearly problems - here you should be the best focus and then the cam move a few millimeters to the monitor view - not nice, but in my view not a huge issue - hope this is a firmware update improved (in the case I will the update here)
A Smart car called function (ie the auto mode control dial) is aimed at beginners and Automatic fans - here the cam trying to choose from the best to the exposure, ISO and tripping time at least 21 modes taxes incl lightning optimal.. By encouraging good success, which is not a foregone conclusion even at Canon.
ISO ...
ISO 6400 is certainly due to the marketing - may not need one!
Up to ISO 3200 can be quite utilize the results as long as you do not intend to plan to withdraw a 60x40cm image - in 13x18cm can be the result of pressure in use yet -
From my perspective, it's getting useful but only with ISO 400 and below - (even at ISO 800) suffer the details clearly by the high ISO values in higher ISO levels - in other words be strong weggebügelt!
In view of the relatively large sensor over aschend ...
But please do not get me wrong - for Facebook or 13x18cm prints can also be made to ISO 1600 or even 3200 party or family photos dürchaus - only for higher-quality prints with many structures I recommend at least ISO 800 or better.
Costs half a star!
A replay of the images in Raw is not possible - probably due to the targeted customer profile - a pity!
Costs half a star!
Service:
Unfortunately, the menu falls a bit short of - in 2 tabs you reingepackt everything at Canon - understand why it is divided not better here (4-8 Thematic Folder such as "focus" would facilitate a lot of things and accelerate Hits What is most painful. : On a CustomMenu one must renounce also the Canon can in the other cams meissten better - Again, I'm hoping for a firmware update -.!
But there's also NEN half star devaluation.
What's really great that now fashionable coming lens rings (many thanks to all manufacturers that embrace this new trend!) Is. Ie around the lens runs a ring that can be used to control ISO, aperture, exposure or focus. Top!
There is also a 4/5 button and bezel to change the main settings - Here you can control the ISO only via menu / bezel rules - an extra button for that I would have very much wanted.
Otherwise, there are fortunately still a button for fixing the focal point with the rotary wheel one can choose between 3x5 focal areas between 17x29 (!) Focal areas or after all.
Other:
Installed is a 3 "screen, as it offer meissten Cams currently - this can neither fold nor turn - would then certainly increases the overall depth and also provides no touch functionality.
The battery lasts for about 200 pictures which is OK - spare battery in your pocket would possibly but advisable.
Review:
+ Super small and flat
+ Great chip, thereby encouraging good picture quality
+ Very decent value for money
+ Decent Zommbereich also the wide angle end (24> 120)
+ For the small cam very good control over aperture, focus and exposure field
+ Very good automatic mode
0 fixed 3 "monitor
- The focus in the macro range has clearly problems
- Only 720p video - not Full HD (1080p)
- Menu too coarse, not Custom / Bookmark Menu Folder
- No Raw storing images possible
- Relatively early onset smoothing at higher ISO values
Conclusion:
Especially the beginner on a budget who are looking for a decent camera always with you, which fits easily in small pockets, yet this camera a decent image quality is recommended delivers. Especially since it allows for more ambitious photographers later full control analog of an SLR.
Go 4 stars OK for the price.
Who's something high needs (Something Brighter Lens (1.8 instead of 2.0), Full HD video and touch screen (the 12MP 10MP instead you can ignore) possibly could. With the S120 will be happier ()
