But now for the evaluation.
The camera enters Lumix TZ61 against or Nikon Coolpix S9700 and Sony DCS HX60 at all designed as travel cameras with large zoom.
The design is in retro style, a matter of taste but I like it.
The processing is perfectly combining black leather with aluminum body is timeless and classy.
Olympus has installed a number of technical highlights in the camera. For clarity, I have the pros and cons together posted times.

Negative
--------
- To store no way in RAW format
- Display not folding or swiveling
- No time or auto iris (manual mode only M)
The camera is controlled mostly through the clear menu. The number of controls is Klas usual. The function key to get quickly to the desired
Settings. Very convenient is also the possibility of remote control via App from Spartfone or tablet.
The picture quality is impressively well in the face of the small 1 / 2.3 inch CMOS and the large zoom over the entire zoom range. Autofocus is fast and accurate
and the 5-axis image stabilization (the chip resembles the movements of) work very convincing. The light intensity of 3f with 25mm and 600mm at 6,9f do not Camera
a Low Light Spezi. However, up to ISO 800, the results are very useful. At ISO 1600 the noise reduction Grauft strong a picture loses noticeably details.
The lack of opportunity in the RAW format is missing one or the other. I do not miss at a travel camera.
The missing battery charger I neutrasl counted. I find the way in the camera to load practically, you only need a charging cable from the phone or similar Bring your own
and invites all devices with a cable (if compatible) but this is important to have a second battery LI-90B Olympus original beats here with 57 to book.
But No Name alternatives are in existence for 10 s.
The camera is designed as a travel camera and exactly are their strengths. The combination of sensor optics and image stabilization works very well and meet are the results.
Real weaknesses Camera not afford. The price is justified by the equipment.
