For camera:
I have to say, holds the camera up to its promise. Among the specifications I have to omit here not that you can read elsewhere. I will therefore describe only my subjective impression on the operation. And this I find here on house succeeded.
The menu is clear and intuitive. Something disturbing is that it is not clear if some functions are not possible in certain operating modes. Those who so however busy and logical thinking, here comes quite quickly behind.
The camera is located, although it appears rectangular, at first glance, well in the hand and has a high quality finish. Somewhat annoying is also that there is no automatic lens cover, but these must be removed and plugged even by hand. Then dangles partly around, the string remains in the display hanging etc. Meanwhile I was however in advance clear.
The controls are all very well located, at least in the frame, as it is possible with the compact space. I've read that the power button is pressed unintentionally sometimes when operating the selector dial. This I can not confirm.
The display is simply a stunner.
For battery life I can not say anything yet.
The camera I would give 4 points for this review. The technical details are of the highest quality, unfortunately, was in the functionality described above, the one or other savings or overlooked. Who can live with it, will not be disappointed.
Software:
The worse is, as always, in the end. A significant reason for the purchase was, among other things, that the camera takes pictures in RAW format - unfortunately the output is in a proprietary format but (.SRW) that (currently) can be opened and edited apparently only with the supplied software , There you can develop as a .tif or .jpg the pictures then. I can replace the RAW format images of course not, because no one has the software. I actually work with Photoshop, I must now either get an additional software to operate or even work only in the .jpg file format and hope that someday a photoshop update is that with this format can handle.
As the software is to use - no idea. If you have no software, for it might be nice since it will notice a maybe (?) Good software. Whether we choose to the camera or Photoshop blames taste. I believe, however, in a new development should be based on the common formats and no own thing brewing. Here, the developers themselves have tricked because so many transfer passengers are held. There are unfortunately thick point deduction.
Overall I give the camera thus 3 stars.
Wen described the restrictions do not interfere (in particular software), which receives a great camera. All other will think well if it were but a canon or not .... Too bad!
