Of the 3 remaining models initially deterred the heavy weight of Fuji, but I found the use of AA batteries again as big plus. When Fuji provides you the push with his hand, unlike the competition. Hm, if that is so great? For me, a complete change, but one whose function I do not want to miss. In my experience, the setting is faster and there is no battery consumes.
That one is not free hand to photograph sharply, as we read in some reviews even outside the Amazon with Fuji with full zoom, I can not leave you. Since the Nikon held in my test yet with, but the Panasonic failed miserably. Also what the image quality was concerned, the Panasonic was in my test very fast on the track. That may be different if you let the automatic are left ... for something must have indeed get their prices ...
Battery problems that have been described in the Nikon, were ultimately the decisive added point me to opt for the Fuji. Nothing is worse than to be able to just shoot some photos and x mitzukaufen replacement batteries ... I'm using at the Fuji the Eneloop and keep with me 800-1000 pictures on one battery charge. SO easy to work!
Then I read, the videos would be blurred ... I can not confirm. The videos have - even without a tripod - a great quality and it is surely logical that the quality can not be compared with a high-end video camera, of course, these need here for a moment to focus again, if the subject moves. In my first try this chinchillas were during their outlet and now sit anything but still ... at that artificial light and the quality can be quite impressive. Even better, the recordings are of course in nature, logo.
One has to clearly keep in mind that claims you have, then you will not be disappointed. In the price range so also catch so slow at the first SLR Digis. If you want to choose between automatic and starting from scratch, a good image quality to minimum. A3, RAW, good video quality, long battery life by Eneloops, right quick release time (enough even for flitting chinchillas, LOL), but not more lenses rumschleppen with itself that Fuji, in my opinion is the best and a very good choice. Then one must also be clear that we need to cut back, for example, in triggering time. However one saves money and weight and who wants to his excursions that I know how to take many kilos Digi?
I have my Fuji now about 4 weeks and have already almost 7000 photos shot. Of course, many deleted, I simply wanted to try, as what works best. Impressive for example is the macro function. It is absolutely possible to represent the pollen on a bee or the fine hair on the body of a butterfly. All it takes is a steady hand and a suitable subject.
I highly recommend this Digi total conviction on.
