Convincing Super Zoomer with endless possibilities

Have this camera now since 4 weeks and am very happy with her. The Dual Grip housing with additional vertical-grip shutter proves to be very handy and the camera can be compared to the competition well fed and secure in the hand. A significant advantage, because that allows the camera to keep quiet, which is very useful in a 60x zoom. In addition, a large battery fits into the case, the photo a day keeps loose by, especially when the elect. Viewfinder uses often draws less power than the display. The display persuadecan but is not hinged or pivoted, that would be very desirable in a follow-up model. The viewfinder is very small and coarsely resolved, but completely fulfilled its purpose and is at Nikon P series and Canon SX series even better. The camera has an i-Function button on the lens with the can be ISO, zoom speed and Series screen directly change any settings in the menu - very good. Image stabilization works very well, but please do not expect miracles. At 1200mm Endbrennweite also this comes quickly to its limits. So if you want to exhaust the push to the end, can not avoid the use of a tripod or monopod.

The image quality is fully in order. Although only a small BSI sensor is fitted with 1 2/3 inch format are the pictures very nice to look at. Use the camera but only up to ISO 400, about the images by the strong noise reduction to soft and mushy. Super I find the 20mm focal length with a maximum aperture f 2.8. This really can make great wide-angle shots. About the service goes quickly out of hand, Wifi functions are super incl. Remote function, image transfer and e-mail client. The app for Android works perfectly. Firmware update via I-Launcher is now available. Updated version 1.4.

Conclusion: A camera for almost all applications with elaborate operation and excellent grip. Only Low Light and RAW is not at all, for that I use a EX2F from the same residence. Otherwise highly recommended.

Addendum 07:09:14:'ve found today, which accommodates the lens also filters with 55mm thread diameter. The screw-on lens is indeed plastic, but still great, thus it is possible to use various filters such as pollen or graduated filters. Since the lens is innnenfokussiert, the filter does not rotate. Super! But there are also downer. The camera is fully receptive after power after about 6 seconds. Although lens and display react much faster, but then the camera seems more internally "ramp up" and does not respond to the shutter button or other inputs. Burst mode with up to 8 images in a row is quite fast, but the WB2200f stores but then about 12 seconds the screen sequence and is meanwhile blocked. That's annoying.
