Customer Review

This is now my new summer always with camera. Decisive for the purchase and satisfied Keep were the following four things:

1. The price (at around 90, - falls not in too deep sorrow, when the camera is stolen, lost or should go broke)
2. The very eye equalized and good image quality in relation to price
3. AA batteries you get even in Third World countries and crisis regions
4. The Easy Mode for those who just want to "pull the trigger" (for example, for people like my Eltern..Sie have problems with your mobile phones to write a text message, but that they too can "photograph" and enfach "pull the trigger))

Detailed rating:

+ Very lightweight plastic case, but quality workmanship
+ Handy housing construction and can be tucked into the pants
+ Using AA batteries (advantage: always and everywhere in the world available, but for environmental reasons best batteries (Eneloops) use)
+ Good initial focal length of 2.8 does not like the Konurenz of> 3.00 ==> less noise in the photos
+ Wide angle of 28 mm with little distortion
+ ISO value starts at 80 ==> great in summer sun pictures with the effect of less noise and exceptionally fine grain and tempered
+ Adequate Szenenmodis + PLUS Fisheye mode
+ Live mode changes the image settings can be seen directly on the display
+ EASY mode: very good for people who want to set is not much
+ Good automatic function (Szenenmodis are detected and it is attempting to take pictures with the lowest possible ISO value)
+ Red-Eye function fulfills its purpose at Blitzaufnahem ==> No more red-eye in flash photos
+ Great and intense colors in VIVID mode (reminds me of the Fuji Superia analog film: loud colors); Neutral colors in neutral mode (for example, if you want to edit the images themselves on Photoshop later)
+ Long Exposure to 15 seconds possible very well at night photos with tripod or if you have a stable base
+ P mode to receive ISO value manually, settings remain after switching off
+ Optical viewfinder
+ 720p HD video mode (of course with mono sound in this price range)

- Canon's austerity: no IS lens (ie no image stabilization)
- Unfortunately, optical viewfinder represents not the whole picture
- HD mode could be a little better (youtube video link will follow)
- You have to invest in good rechargeable batteries and a good charger to the optimum picture number extract; The best and cheapest combination is here: Sanyo Eneloop charger MQR06 including 4x AA batteries.

A very nice camera and can deliver Quality in DSLR also with the skill of the person behind the camera, images (see my pictures in macro mode with depth of field !!!). What a pity, is the lack of image stabilization. You have to go up faster manuel with the ISO value or the automatic machts in Auto mode, the wodruch Blider the images then also begin to rustle (from ISO 400). For summer holidays in southern countries, one should thus fewer problems, but yesterday at Wald recordings it was disturbing. Perhaps I have too high expectations Canon would have installed an IS lens here, it would be for me not so annoying and I would give the full rating. But for the MSRP price, for me right now is the best camera in the up to 100, - Euro class.
