Customer Review

For the Korean holiday I wanted to have a new camera, one that is easy to use, and makes beautiful pictures without a lot of hassle. Previously I had a Sony Cybershot, when I was impressed by the image quality, even in auto mode. Unfortunately it's broken and has no guarantee, so had something new here, simple and not too expensive.

Unfortunately, this camera is considered here in fact: watt nix kost ', is nothing. I really know nothing about photography, but any layman can see that this camera is simply bad. Here are my biggest criticisms:

Blurred images. Even the slightest tremor of the hand, the images are out of focus, there are apparently no built-counter correction, or it is simply bad. Absolute KO criterion, because half of my pictures are therefore unfortunately just disappointing :-( My old Sony has always crisp images made, even if one has a little wagged.

Poor auto mode. I'm more of a snap Schiesser, so I do not like it when I have to constantly manipulate the preferences. Therefore, I take pictures almost always in "Auto" mode to select which appropriate settings of its own accord. Again, the camera is simply bad. My old Sony has wonderful pictures shot in this mode, with great colors and pin sharp, the Canon lags far behind. I wanted a couple of night scenes in Hongdae hold, with neon signs, etc. Result: The camera has virtually done away with the contrast between light and dark, so pale, loose and light atmosphere noisy images came out. During the day, I found that somehow seem pale colors in Auto mode.

Focus. It's incredibly annoying to adjust the focus, as the camera tries to address this on a subject automatically. Unfortunately she once guessed wrong at least in half of the cases with me. Can adjust to it only indirectly via the auto-follow mode. Very tricky.

Battery. The battery life is not bad. Only after about 200 pictures and a few videos it was empty. The problem is much more: The battery level is displayed until shortly before almost 100%, then fell suddenly out of the blue to a stroke, only 10 minutes later completely give up the ghost. Then I was totally unprepared, and could not make any more pictures that day!

I can easily find little or nothing positive about this camera - except for the price. Next time: rather spend a little more money and save frustration.

Not recommendable!
