Family camera, love the young

Visually, the camera as her big brother, the DV300F is a little highlight. There are the camera in different, modern tones. The acts do very simple but can keep up with the DV300F. Those who prefer upbeat, the camera can also purchase in green or purple. The front display is integrated beautifully and unobtrusively. At first glance and off, it does not fall on. Switched it draws attention, however, magically, so that children photos can be made lighter. While the rear LCD display fails with 2.7 inches a little smaller, but still is a good size and has a solid 230,000 pixels, the Challenge display with 1.5 inches and 61,000 pixels comes along and does not differ from the DV300F. Combined with the approximately 2cm flat quality housing and the lightweight 150g in operating mode, the camera does not need to hide. Again, you realize how much trouble, Samsung has given, to stand out from the DV300F. Round Like the smaller model just a tad bit more.

SERVICE
Operation is via a few keys that are located on the back right of the display. The buttons can be pressed well and they have a great size, so that one is also true that what you want to meet. The menu and the buttons are self-explanatory as usual with Samsung. The manual is, however, written for lay people, so that you can always get help and information there if you are not sure about an operating element. Basically Again Select, point and shoot. The camera is a simple automatic variant. So if you can not feel or no interest to the many setting possibilities apply, so will be very happy. While some can be selected manually, but in my eyes and at the test photos this was never necessary.

Shooting Programs

Smart Auto = The camera automatically selects the best picture setting
Scene = is used when you want, for example, to photograph a landscape
Night scene = If you want to take pictures in the dark.
Close = for beautiful close-ups
Selbstportrait = lends itself to a self-recording

Split Shot = Combine photos with others
Magic Frame = Here you can embed his image on a billboard, a shirt or the like.
Live Panorama = The result is a 180 ° photo
Motion-picture = Still-life come to life with this function.

IMAGE QUALITY
The camera provides the current standard resolution and sensor size, which is perfectly adequate for my needs, such as family photos, product test photos and holiday pictures. The images are placed very nice and quick sharp and pretending not like something, because the wrong object, as with my S6400 was focused. The image stabilization is also safe to 100%. Even when not necessarily good lighting conditions or a slight tremor the images work well. Certainly, the picture quality does not keep up with a professional reflex camera, but in my eyes, the image quality is quite convincing. The automatic program selection works as smooth and efficient. For me, the camera was not even wrong.

Otherwise, the camera uses a good 5x zoom with a wide angle of 45-225mm. The light intensity is rather average with F2.5 to F6.3. The ISO range is manually from 80-3200. Solid and tidy when you expect really everyday photo quality. However slight image Rauscher are in high ISO range available, but they were to be expected at this bargain price too.

The photos can be taken with or without flash. The charging time for the flash is approximately 3 seconds. The range is about 4,10m wide angle and 1.60 m at the telephoto end.

The image quality in the video field is compelling. 1280 x 720 pixels (30 fps) are the maximum, but satisfactory for me. The videos can also be uploaded directly to Youtube.

SELF-TIMER
Since the camera includes a front display, I would like to comment briefly on the self-timer. Here you can see so beautiful before snaps a photo. Half heads or like a thing of the past. The fat plus point of this camera is the ability to use it with a remote control. Here one must not expect great and it can only some functions are executed, but it is a plus point. However, only tablets and smartphones can be used as a remote control. However, a nice touch, if you like me like to rotate product videos and so has the ability to boot sometimes from afar.

WIFI
The camera also includes a small gimmick, the integrated WiFi module scolds himself. With her pictures and video clips can be uploaded directly into the grid and to social networks. In addition, you can connect the camera via Wi-Fi in addition to other devices or to control it. In addition, images can be stored on the mobile phone or the like. It is a nice gimmick, which is especially pleased young people and works very well.

BATTERY LIFE
The battery life has a good average. It depends on many factors, but a flat rate one can speak of 100-200 photos. In the test I have about 120 photos and two test videos of around 10 minutes including a 4-5 attempts made before the warning appeared. This works flawlessly here and after two to three hours the battery is already full again

CONCLUSION
It is a typical rookie, holiday, family camera that allows ordinary images, but also has its limitations. It is equipped at a fair price available, and with the most significant aspects. It is not a luxury camera, but offers a lot of fun ways that will appeal to many young people especially. So who has no professional expectations, they should take a closer look.
