In Bundle can buy the wb350,351,352f series for newly 135 euros including Sandisk 8GB Micro SDHC card and a small bag on the market. So a price I thought, just a big mass producers can afford.

But then, even though the camera is a CMOS sensor works, one notices quite fast that the camera only to ISO 200 is good and you can reduce the resolution of 16MP 10MP on. At the computer but I immediately realized that something is wrong with the lens. I had the margins on the left and right crop and did so about 20% lost from the image. I therefore always arrived at about 8MP. Then I found a strange setting 8MP portrait in the camera itself and lo and behold - the lens can not 4: 3 or 3: 2 dissolve normal! The nichtsnützige 8MP setting at which the edges are trimmed left and right is just the resolution that can resolve the lens! Produced together with the poor Rauschunterdrückungsalgorhitmus the much porridge and unsightly surfaces in the background, not an acceptable image quality. Besides, I had already on the 2nd day test at the weekend a green screen on the camera screen and the power has been completely suspended and they could not be more off. Then the computer you had Sandisk card read and write errors and with sorrow and distress, I could format it still on the PC, so it was accepted by the camera. Quick cleaned everything again, packaged and returned! For the price you do get a better pleased by hand a Samsung NX Systemkameea buys. They are excellent for the price and it comes with a good image quality back home. This zoom with 21x has its price - in the form of this Projected width in the image that does not come from the lens, but by the software. No information can never be filled.

For the holidays clippers if the camera still works, may be acceptable. But who has 2 eyes in his head, who noticed this sham quickly. I'm finally landed back in good old SX and Ixus series at Canon, as photographed here the lenses to the edge sharp and the zoom is realistically reversed. What brings me the rest, if the picture is not good ???
