Compact lightweight Desk and Parties

The Olympus VG-160 is immediately noticeable through their compact dimensions and low weight. Also striking is the absence of an external charger for the battery. Only one power supply, similar to a mobile phone, is attached. The battery is thus loaded directly into the camera. Another striking is the connection to the camera. Here, Olympus has unfortunately decided not to a USB port, and is instead focusing on a completely unknown to me port on the camera itself are included two cable for this connection. Once a video cable for direct connection to the TV and a USB cable. With this you can connect the camera to either the PC or the supplied charger. This has a normal USB port, and it should therefore also be possible to charge the camera on a cell phone charger with USB connection. Charging via the USB port of a PC worked well with no problems. On a Windows 7 computer, the camera is immediately recognized and integrated as a removable disk, so photos can be copied to the computer easy. The supplied cable you should only as far as possible not to lose, because due to the unusual port on the camera replacement is probably quite hard to find.
The quality of the pictures is good. Of course, the small camera with larger models can not compete, but they can take it very easily and by the low turn-one is quickly ready for the next snapshot. It is the ideal camera for quick Errinnerungsfoto, landscape shots to do but probably better with a "big" camera. The zoom is sufficiently strong. I have the digital zoom off right, this ruined anyway only the image quality. The optical zoom is enough for me personally fine. At maximum zoom, it is almost impossible to make out of your hands out a clean photo. The camera is easy to small and light and can therefore very easily but blurred the image.
Overall, the camera was able to fully convince me. Due to its compactness, it is the ideal companion at parties and outings. The quality of photos is think twice and other mobile companions such as mobile phones or tablets far. Therefore, there is the full five stars for the Olympus camera.
