I want to save me at this point, detailed descriptions and list rather a number of advantages and disadvantages of compact cameras are on, I noticed after a few days use.
Benefits / Pro:
- The camera is very small and handy, fits in any pocket.
- Scope of supply:. Camera, strap, charger, 8 GB Micro SD card with adapter (was outside with me on cardboard glued)
- Optics. Very classy acting device.
- Feel. Simple and intuitive to use. In total there are only 2 buttons (on / off and Play) + the Zoom dial.
- Zoom. which is pushing through, talk to 12 times high. Nevertheless, the lens retracts fully when turning. Also great I find the "Lock" when zooming - wheel fully permeate and zooming will stop automatically when the maximum value of 12 times, so the optical zoom maximum. Other operating the zoom wheel causes the first digital zoom lookup, once again the 2nd digital, so you come in increments of up to 48x zoom, but if you do not want to digitialen not automatically clean runs.
- Display. High-resolution and very large, practically over the entire size of the device.
Disadvantages / Cons:
- Touch screen. Prinzipiel a great thing, but in everyday use I have my problems. The typical wiping movements which one knows of smartphones will only rudimentary. Especially scrolling up and down gives me great problems. And so thick my fingers are really not ...
- WiFi. In principle, the thing that I've been looking forward to the most. But again, serious disadvantages in the daily use: For some of the transmission possibilities online registration and software installation necessary - for me the question. Just like the fact that you look after each turn the meter on again must log on to the network you want
- Flap for SD card. I find too cumbersome. With a bit of getting used to and exercise they can be opened well, but you need mE slightly longer fingernails and it also does not seem to be very stable (for continuous use) the door
- Photo quality. For me, the most significant disadvantage. The images quality is mostly good to very good, but for the price range of the Cam just not good enough. Since I had better make the photos years ago cameras. The options are varied indeed, the automatic. Selecting the Picture Programs is nice, but what I see afterwards on the ZPC monitor is not good enough for my taste. Worst are the results especially in the dawn light and at full or nearly fully extended zoom, especially if you use the digital.
My résumé is: If the camera maximum halbso expensive, it would be ok, and I would be between 4 and 5 star tend. With more than 300 euros, it is clearly too expensive for the quality, and with 3 stars I'm mE still very generous.
It would be interesting to look but how ausschauen the successor cameras, there'sa definitely potential in the 510 HS.
