Customer Review

After the prices finally fall slowly, the camera I bought myself (though not here, sorry).
I want to bring to the first "real life" pictures, my absolute enthusiasm expressed.

This is simply maximum image quality with minimum form factor.
Unbelievable that carries out his work in such a small housing a 35mm sensor.

The camera is very solid and built quality, the feel is due to the size less than optimal.
While there is indicated a roughened "handle" is not pronounced and the camera still can not keep you safe.
Here help an additional camera grip (Fotodiox) enormously, which is available as accessory (with Metallgegenlichblende).

The lack of viewfinder is disturbing (at least me), but should not lead to the deduction of points, because you can find out before buying or should be a review.
Since there are on an electronic basis only, unfortunately the expensive Sony viewfinder or take a much lower optical viewfinder 35mm.
The electronic viewfinder but I would prefer, since the outstanding Fokuspeaking (manual focus) with a viewfinder is much better than the screen, also very good dissolves and allows shots through the flaps of the viewfinder close to the ground which.

The energy storage could last longer, but does not stop me from enthusiasm because I anyway with multiple batteries and an external charger losziehe prefer that there is an option to buy cheap.

For autofocus has been much written. Yes that is definitely not the fastest. Who does mostly toddlers, racing dogs or sportive pictures, the camera is not happy in the long run.
I've had enough speed (reportage, landscape, street, architecture) and they had imagined much worse.

That was it but of coarse limitations, we come to the picture quality.
And that is simply sensational!
The 35mm Zeiss lens features outstanding (high detail), has no distortion and virtually no color fringing.
The momentum is extremely high and is even with sharp contrasts yet clear.
It is nice that arise even at full aperture sharp images and blurred edges to hold in this light intensity within limits.
The image impression is almost a certain "analog look", the basic setup of the camera very well.
For RAW processing can be brought out even more. There are several profiles in the various photo editing programs.

Conclusion:
I can absolutely recommend the camera for those looking for the best image quality in a confined space and without interchangeable lenses can / want and not necessarily have sports shots or fast moving subjects in focus.
An all around great camera for reportage, Street, Landscape in the 35mm format.
