A simple device

I leave three SLR with the associated objectives batteries, and also a Nikon Coolpix 4500 (rotating!) Who serve me since 2003. I was looking for a small lightweight device, multifunctional, for all occasions of family pictures. So I do not expect to have a great camera for extreme shooting conditions. I must say have been seduced by the compactness and appearance of robustness of this camera. The usage is really very simple AI even if the "wide angle" look a bit at first routed mode.

Which won the bet in my choice is the HD video. I do not have a camcorder and I also realized that I was doing more and more small movies. The operating conditions are very simple here since only one control button while. What a change from the Coolpix 2003!

The little less is the provision of photo on the computer (I have an iMac). Can not delete the photos from the camera after transfer. We must make a manual operation (which can make it global for all the pictures, luckily). With an 8GB card and adjusting your photo 5 Mp, I can put almost 3000 shots on the device. An ability that seduce snags in the image.

The image quality is good and the exhibition more than correct in AI mode. It becomes very hard to miss a photo. Still, the most important is not in the device: the photographer's eye, combined with its ability to be there at the right time!
