The couple with the smartphone is a bit annoying, especially because the app always adopted when one turns the screen, but that's more of a point that one should criticize in the app than the camera!
If you then select the correct settings, you can have lots of fun with the camera. However, I recommend just in a parade where you can spend a few more photos than less makes the transfer to the smartphone to turn off and save it to your microSD. By the images Upload (via WLAN), the preview of the smartphone impossible and you can only take pictures flying blind.
One has since but first a bit of a feeling for it, then the camera is without the smart phone a nice fellow.
Of course, it is then all the more exciting and to see at the end if the photos are what become ...
Practical because it is always when the smartphone offers the preview.
This is, however, then the battery of both devices. Once having myself of the QX10 DSC battery abandoned and once the smartphone.
Battery or Powerbar (-Bank) so can not hurt.
Hardware: The microUSB port hidden beneath a flap, for me, it was to find intuitive ...
At the edge of the camera can be a rocker switch zoom (10x) and also trigger. The camera tried a autofocus when the shutter button is pressed (as with many other digicams just as well).
A small display on the edge shows the battery status and a small LED at the power button indicates whether the Cam is just on or off ;-)
You can click back the mount for the phone and it is securely locked, so that nothing can fall out provided from. This makes the camera but by almost half a cm thick, but it fits so still in your pocket (if applied not too tight). Maybe it makes it even more pleasant, because the holder is flush and the camera without these two "rails" has that may interfere slightly and push ..
In the first the camera trying to keep something from the smartphone catch yourself regularly about to how not the camera, but the smartphone tends to catch to the right angle, but with a little practice puts the.
The photos were also mostly very well with me. Of course I miss here, if appropriate, options to various scene modes to adjust to improve the results, but useful and pretty pictures are quite feasible.
The photos are brighter than one would suspect it in low light conditions and the results are more to gambling. Also one notices here desöfteren then that one would wish a flash.
In itself, I would give the camera 5 stars but that would be different cameras over not quite fair.
That's why I prefer half a star off for the battery consumption especially at smartphone that. "Problems" when one uses the default settings and the images transmits the same to the smartphone and also because of the not so great results in dark conditions But since I can not give 4.5 stars, and some reviews in my opinion are too bad here I admit but the whole 5 star ...
I hope my review has helped you a little :-)
