The Nikon is due to the many functions and the relatively small size / weight of the almost ideal travel companion.
Positive ...
+++ 18x zoom
+++ If the autofocus works that Nikon provides good to very good pictures.
+++ Nikon many functions has inserted into the camera, to facilitate the Hobbyknipser life.
Best Shot Selection = camera takes up to 10 continuous shots and automatically saves the sharpest
Pre Shot Cahe. = The camera takes pictures already in series when the shutter button is lightly pressed,
When the shutter button completely pressed, the last 5 pictures are saved.
Panorama shots = success amazingly easy even without a tripod
+++ Battery capacity = Adequate, 2 battery but recommended (as with any camera)
Negative ...
--- Unfortunately sporadic plays the autofocus crazy and has problems even with the best conditions.
Here Nikon should definitely make improvements, as this leads to devaluation of the camera.
--- Saving the images lasts temporarily ungewönhlich long, thus the camera is only
conditionally Schnapschuß- capable.
--- Since Nikon does not supply an external charger, the battery can only in the camera's USB
Loaded connection werden.Die charging time can take up to 3.5 hours, depending on the charge status.
Just as "travel companion" I would have liked an external charger, thus
you have the chance, is a 2nd battery to store while the first battery on the go.
Here Nikon has saved in the wrong place, which surprised with in this price range.
--- The GPS function for a file is needed from the Internet, was unfortunately at the
Product description not mentioned. That this file for positioning only
Is valid seven days, I find impractical. Who goes on holiday, has not
necessarily access to the Internet and the file can be stored on its CF card.
If the file is older than seven days, the positioning takes considerably longer.
Here Nikon should definitely make improvements.
Conclusion: I would recommend the Nikon because of the weaknesses in the Auto Focus and the time for saving the images
not a friend as Schnapschußkamera.
Perhaps there is an update soon from Nikon, which are corrected these errors; -)
