Looking for a high-intensity compact camera I came in part to the "BenQ DC G1". The fact that the camera concept appeared thoughtful and the device was able to produce a non-standard in this price range 3-inch swivel display with high resolution (920000 MP) next to a high-intensity 1.8 lens, prompted me to finally purchase.
Thanks to Amazon's excellent delivery service to me was the camera are delivered despite short-term appointment before the Christmas holidays even on Christmas Eve.
With regard to packaging, delivery, processing of the camera, variety of shooting modes and functions and operating the camera, I would like to join a large extent to the excellent rating of Erstrezensenten.
So why only 3 points? To this end, the following reasons when working with the camera I have caused:
1. I have the camera around 250 shots - sometimes under different conditions, partly in an identical test method with 3 of the sensor size (1 / 2.5 bzw.1 / 2.3)) ago
comparable compact cameras (Panasonic FZ 18 Panasonic FS 3, Sanyo E6) made. And I realized when evaluating the results to my surprise that the G 1
was ambiguous with regard to the image quality of the tested cameras at the top. A good impression she left the noise performance to 800 ASA. Achieved very good results
In some special areas (night shots, candlelight).
2. The main reason that I finally prompted to return the camera were recurring malfunctions. These problems were not about to incorrect operation or
leading to improper handling of the camera back on my part, (I had the 92-page comprehensive Bdienungsanleitung of the ax. CD Extra printed), but the
Disturbance occurred when photographing repeatedly without warning. So, for example, several times suddenly the lens could no longer retract, in the display modes have been displayed,
I had not set and instead the modes chosen by me others were displayed. Partly got stuck on the display are and were just turning the camera
to remove from the display. Occasionally, the camera was unable to focus. But then she was suddenly back on top form. Everything worked flawlessly .... until
next dropouts. Thus, the camera has been in a fundamental area for me, namely the reliability, serious shortcomings. Maybe I had a Monday model
caught, as suspects in similar cases often. However, in my case, I'm rather assume that the not yet on the market as long as the camera (July 2012) more
Having teething problems that are likely to be probably in larger than average operating range of the camera. And my more than 50 years experience with cameras have taught me
that myself separated from such a camera with such disorders.
Conclusion:
All in all, it is the Benq G1 to an interesting compact camera with a powerful optical, a bright swivel display and an astonishing variety of functions, if this is she works- thoroughly recommended. Anyone looking for a robust, reliable compact camera should be - at least for now - look around or otherwise.
