Besides the pathetic bad brightest daylight image quality

I have especially for interviews and the recording of lectures bought the Cam in web quality because it has a connection for a microphone and videos much faster transfers through the internal memory to the PC as MiniDV cameras. For this is good for the camera - when the light is right, you do not pivot and an external Micro connects.

In particular, however disappointed me the picture quality. In daylight, we must still expect a half decent, albeit pale color photographs.

However, the quality even in quite bright interiors is disgraceful - it created significant artifacts; Pans that are not already in daylight quality sometimes exhilarating, verschlieren completely.

Also to be extremely unhappy proves the fact that the lens Although all eternity is Tele-zoomable, but virtually no wide-angle has. The normally you know beforehand and this was not my first criterion.

With tourist activities such as visiting historic buildings but this falls considerably significant. Instead of the Sistine Chapel, the camera with the lens at best captures a portion of a ceiling fresco; Total impressions can forget.

Moreover, the autofocus is really so extremely slow that I assumed at first that I had purchased a defective device.

The sound, however, is acceptable when using an additional microphone. Unlike MiniDV cameras that even record sound with the tape, the built-in microphones act not bad in comparison.

Overall, however, still completely incomprehensible why this camera good test results obtained with such a lousy picture quality. Stay away if you want to film not only on the beach - but also for there are certainly cheaper solutions.
