One bright spot in the lower price segment

The major benefit of this camera: for as much technology is wonderfully small and stable. Since my big camera on so many Stadiontor now sorted out, the Olympus VG-130 has become the ideal replacement.

Operation is simple and designed thanks to extensive integrated help play to learn, even without instructions. The camera starts up quickly in the function mode and even so snapshots possible. The 5x optical zoom is sufficient for easy shooting from perfect, just like the quality of the image stabilization. The range of adjustable designs templates is lush and even configurations for the photographing of documents ("Documents") and cooking results ("food") can be found there on. The "Sport" Moving target was and still is for me of particular interest and is working properly for a camera in this price range and features.
The effect filters are Spielkram, which was at least properly implemented. The display fills almost the entire back of the camera and therefore uses the available space completely. This allows a clear menu structure and represents a wonderfully large viewfinder.

The image quality must also be considered in the Olympus VG-130 with respect to the product price and for that she really seems to me well, albeit with some motifs notice a slight distortion and rarely anything significant gradients. The camera has flash and self-timer, but lacks above all a separate memory card included. Macro function, preventing red eyes in portraits and video function are almost standard even in this price range, but were also implemented with the necessary care.

The camera is made up in its price class very positive from many other competing products from. User guidance, settings and result justify the purchase in any case, be it as an entry product and small second camera for the beach or excursion use.
