Customer Review

I have only a little "games can" but I am so far very impressed by what I saw:
Why the DMC-TZ71EG (DMC-TZ70 = = DMC-ZS50)? For example, because it has an electronic viewfinder (ELV), RAW can, has a relatively reasonable ratio of sensor surface to the sensor resolution and a very large zoom range covering (24 mm to 720 mm according to 35 mm KB-format).
My first attempt at 720 mm:
An LCD wall clock from his hand, in 3.5 meters, with automatic (P) added: ISO 800, Aperture 6,4 and exposure adjustment. . 1/125 s Room Lighting: 6 W energy saving lamp, so it was quite dark in the room. Result:
Well as JPG only satisfactory but when RAW! Make yourself a picture; 100% increased and as a JPG (quality 90%) are the images attached. The RAW was edited in Lightroom 5.7 and earlier "made clear" to the Adobe DNG Converter 8.8 for LR 5.7. What is also easily seen in both images: Clear outline although s was recorded with only 1/125. Without Image Stabilizer probably not even 1/800 s would result in the same thing.
*** At the TZ71EG Like (very): ***
1) see above "Why the DMC-TZ71EG ...?" + Very good image stabilizer (about 4 aperture gain)
2) Compact and lightweight
3) For the size it has a very good ergonomics: The thumb will halt and a kind of handle is also available.
4) Processing
5) High Resolution of ELVs.
6) Sensitive power zoom with two different speeds.
7) Faster and more accurate autofocus.
8) can be good to your needs adapt: ​​two Fn keys and C1 and C2 Modie '.
9) Artificial Horizon (electronic spirit level) available.
*** At the TZ71EG I do not like so much: ***
0) only satisfactory sharpness
1) The housing is a mix of metal and plastic, I would be appropriate at the price treasures in proportion 50 to 50. 100% Metal.
2) The ELV is puny (0.2 inches, surrounded by a large scale). But it will serve its purpose "to show when the sun shines the subject".
3) No standard USB port (as so often with such cameras).
4) Tripod socket outside the optical axis.
5) No external battery charger (for that you can at any USB port charging, the power adapter needs not necessarily).

Addendum 2015-03-24:
Birds in nature with sunlight was my test today. Short of "very pleased" to be here no more talk.
I guess the bird of the selected image was about 7 m above me in the tree, I was able to (129: = 720 mm) with full zoom achieve a useful bird size in the image. (With less zoom I have photos still try.) Again: 100% enlarged and as a JPG (quality 90%) are the images attached. (Unfortunately not, see the last sentence.)
Sharpness I do not want to talk. The JPG and RAW are very soft, with the JPG this time my opinion is better than my RAW. If at low ISO values ​​(here: 125) is always the case, then brings a RAW regarding the achievable image sharpness Unfortunately no advantage! See the photos without 100% viewing the monitor good but for deductions from 60 x 80 (I think) the quality is too low.
I hope now that with images in the middle zoom range, the thing still improved ... In the meantime 1 star deduction = 4 stars.
?! Unfortunately I see no way to upload new pictures! Am I missing something?

Addendum 2015-03-28:
Today I made a small hike in the best weather while images taken with the TZ71. The JPGs have all become good (mainly at ISO 100 is also no great art). The RAWs parallel made: As written above "JPG ... better than my RAWs". (With more time the RAWs are also safe to curb.) Conclusion about this:
- Always both recording and JPGs prefer the RAWs as long as you want to correct anything. -
The sharpness of the images I would describe as satisfactory (knackscharf is really something else), thus making a digital zoom, in my opinion little sense ("x 4", another customer has requested) and is anyway not be activated when shooting RAW. Today I have the movie function uses: The autofocus fits, ie no pump and therefore is a manual focus unnecessarily. The result is impressive (at least compared with my Fujifilm camera system).

3.5 stars I would the camera currently give with bias to 3. Why? The focus is finally not any parameter among many but one of the most important. Man should decrease in future prefer to telephoto to 480 mm for example, and for block better optics.

Addendum 2015-05-17:
After a week of use on vacation, I can now say that I actually usually 80 or 100 obtain images with ISO. Thus, the images due to high ISO values ​​to spoil in good weather -none- danger. I am glad to have bought me this "Zoom miracle" as a second camera.
