But now to the camera:
I have previously made with the D10 quite satisfactory images and somehow it was always me an iconic, Knuffiger companion who was unfortunately too much saltwater visit but then leaking times and ... well. Now I have this and I must say: Many improvements, some nonsensical published changes, but the most important thing: HAMMER PICTURES!
So ne small compact the HD quality is really great (I still have a large EOS for everything which is not under water) and what was very interesting to me:
The problem with the vertical stripes in backlight is resolved.
In addition, my old battery fits into the new camera, which saves me from buying a spare battery.
Here we come already to a very large deficit of the Cam, what I've read elsewhere propagated and can confirm. The Akkulalufzeit is a record low - at least significantly lower than the previous model and what is even worse: The battery indicator bar comes very late from three to two strokes back and then sensed 5 images later before closing. Is bad when one tried the underwater. Is certainly also due to the high performance screwed, but you can not then make the battery performance? And the display should turn out much earlier.
Annoying is also that the autofocus works well in principle, but when I want to photograph a baby to a full size bed, where it is nothing more, why in heaven's name, the good piece focuses the sheet ???? HOW SO? For this, however, the manual focus is very good in the program mode. The controls are simple and sharpening works well for the respective conditions.
What is still quite impractical, are the closures of the battery and the connecting plate. Sure, they have to be watertight, but why am I breaking my fingers almost every time when I want to open the door? Am I too stupid?
Verschlimmbesserungen there also. When D10 you could always - what I found totally practical and even kind of funny - attach the wrist strap to any of the 4 corners. Now it's only a corner and although the lower right. Yes super idea. So I attach a loop that I just can detach from the camera via "Gnubbel", ie on the side on which one might hinstellt the camera times without tripod to take a group picture. Hello physics? Honestly, they could also omit the sweet gimmick entirely.
I particularly like, however, that there is such a kind of "shelf space" for the thumb is (the ridged surface Turquoise left of the Record button). So the camera can be kept very stable, without that you press accidentally on any buttons.
What got me very excited, is that the film diary option. Here the camera records every time they are activated to take a picture. As long as the function is activated, everything is packed into one video. Was very nice with us on the rock in the park, because it has such a small compilation of the festival. And our daughter it's nice that you can not miss the exact moment before the photo. Sometimes the little ones do indeed the cutest face in the world, before you press the shutter button.
Conclusion:
+ Very haptic housing
+ Top-quality video
+ Fixed backlight problem from predecessor
Suit + batteries from predecessor
+ Clear display
+ Short response time after switching on
+ Very quiet zoom while filming
+ Practical Filmtagebuch option
+ Good manual focus
- Chill short battery life
- Impair stability by hand strap
- Tabs can be opened hard
- Sometimes very stubborn Auto focus
Basically, a good outdoor camera with a few caveats, more or less serious that everybody has to decide for himself.
She makes great pictures (in the dark) and the videos are great, so it served its purpose and is to be regarded quite nice.
