Customer Review

We wanted a new small compact camera that is always there and were pleased to be able to test the S3300.
Optical offers the S3300 with great colors. We have the blue and it is really nice to look at, both the color of her as well as the design. Beautiful rounded shapes and incredibly small. The processing makes a good impression when the camera is made of plastic, but that was only to be expected in this price range.
A plus for me is also that the battery can be left in loading in the camera and does not have to be constantly removed. Otherwise he has been a while battery holds out, I did so for two days very, photographed a lot and he is still full. One charge lasts just under 2 1/2 hours by the way.
Positively surprised me also that the camera has a small built-in memory. Although only 42 MB, but still.

The camera is easy to use and the menus very intuitive, since there is nothing to complain about. The brief guide that came in printed form is not really really needed, at least not if you have a little experience with other digital cameras. Detailed instructions can be found on the enclosed CD.
The menu offers the usual defaults and even a few gimmicks.
Quite nice, I find that there is a separate trigger button for videos, so you have to if necessary not only the appropriate program to select, but can spontaneously clicking on the video button.

That all sounds really great, and it is also. Now we come to results. Unfortunately I'm not too convinced of the picture quality. Even in daylight (well, no sunshine, but really sufficient lighting conditions) tends to the camera noise and unfortunately are also a lot of pictures taken despite stabilizer not really sharp.
The trigger responds quite well. Not super fast, but within acceptable limits.
Although videos can be recorded in HD, but even here the picture quality is not overly convincing. Although they run smoothly, but not without noise.
Overall, I find 16 megapixels for such a small camera is actually too much. This whole Megapixelwahn gives the impression that it automatically mean better pictures The more megapixels there. This is not so, sometimes less easy but more.

If you want to do just a few snapshots opportunity, the quality ranges from certainly, but who wants more, who will need to invest a few euros more. For the price, the quality is probably okay, you can finally no five stars expect when you pay for only three, which should be clear beforehand.
So overall a very nice compact camera for snapshots, but not a small miracle, but since they do not promise that there are still four points.
