Slightly torn Bin from the camera back and forth. Hab wanted a camera that can be taken anywhere (which goes by the compact dimensions) which makes good pictures (making them too, but more on that later ....) and the one in the photograph (manual settings, RAW format can) breathe pure without equal even take ne SLR to.
Basically, the camera meets all these aspects why I chose for them, but my devaluation mainly concerns a point that is the automatic mode.
This works sometimes, especially with regard to the focus is not very reliable. Actually, it's not hard to target its object to activate and push through the focus. However, I had in the subsequent control often the case that the focus had focused on an area at the edge and in the majority of the image was not sharp.
Personally, I can get over that, although quite well because I control or not so often take pictures in full-automatic mode, but when I put the camera to my better half are available, they should also be able to shoot sharp images without large studies with the camera.
Otherwise, the particles a lot of fun. The focal length of course is somewhat limited with 70mm, but for trips I take ne superzoom to balancing that. The picture quality is good, videos are also great, except for the weaknesses with the colors in the snow, but the comparable cameras can not be better. The zoom is unfortunately only slowly, because you might have to install a 2-step zoom to offer the Videofan something more. The operation is also wide self-explanatory, I like better than at my Nikon P610 me. The connection and remote operation with PlayMemories basically functioning. Images from the camera on the iPhone can be well transmitted, not videos. The same for TV, pictures unfortunately work, not videos. But what more annoying is the wireless connection to the Mac. Has some trouble gekostest the hinzukriegen first time. Then has a few times to work. It will automatically transfer the images that have not been synchronized (no filter is possible). The next all-new start (Camera and Mac) it works then no longer automatically. I had no nerve to go through that again everything.
Finally, can I recommend but the camera and would buy me again, but possibly not the M3, the pivoting of the screen is already an advantage but rather save a few hundred Euros and take me the M2 because me the other functions have not necessarily convinced for money.
