So I tried to buy a compact digital camera that combined the 12 million of its predecessors with a zoom can more consistent (I never use the digital zoom in the picture because much of it to his computer).
Furthermore there is no good time past when the video mode is a plus, so I was looking for a device for HD, because 480x640 is exceeded when one can look on the computer or on the TV screen.
So I selected Lumix, Panasonic and Canon, who has the time (there are 6 months of that) were the only three who proposed the 1280 x 720 on their APN. The price was about the same, the optical zoom is the best for the Canon (12x against 10 competitors).
What I decided is that it retains the ability to customize the maximum (shutter speed, aperture, three power flash ...), bearing preload scenes functions when I was ready neophytes friends.
The most beautiful, besides the stabilization and smile detection is the zoom in photo taking. Indeed, when you zoom in on a group of people, you have a larger zoom square on one of the characters that allows you to wait for the right moment to click while people are away.
For video, you are limited by the size of the SD / SDHC card (not 3min ...) and you can use the digital zoom while shooting. Additionally white balance is automatically according to the brightness and not according to the departure outlet.
A masterpiece that still fits in your pocket.
And for supporters batteries / battery: an additional battery allows you to keep long period without the possibility of charging the device:
- A battery used while the other recharges
- I held 10 days on a boat in both batteries discharging fully and we took in this period more than 2000 pictures in maximum definition, with and without flash. (The 2000 is the number of shot)
