Whether in the dark, using reverse lighting or at night ...
This is obviously no SLR, but with your technique to make several shots in succession, and combine then this camera achieves excellent results!
I have the camera now only a few days, but I am completely satisfied with it. It is simply a super camera for snapshots. I've thought long that I should take.
I had previously also Exilim and was very pleased. So there was only the ZR-400 and that is this forth.
Small, powerful - even if it is outside black. :-)
Whether in the dark or in strong backlighting, this camera always makes good Snapshots!
The effects (BS / HDR, etc.) are in part really well used and no gimmicks, as is often the case.
The battery lasts forever long, the menu structure is extensive and used to, but the camera does it extremely much.
Here are a few other pluses in my view:
- Charges via USB the battery (while transmitting the images)
- Combined with various recording methods many in quick succession made recordings (like HDR) with super result.
- Anti-blur
- Very good Zoom and Wide
- Fast "ready to fire"
The fact that there is now no "real" charger more, but only as a USB Loader with which to charge the CAM into the USB Port, you can no longer buy as its predecessor a separate spare battery and then simply replace these now. Yes, you can ... but you have to do it for loading into the camera and can take pictures while barely.
However, the battery lasts a half long holiday (except you nutz many special effects), so that this will not be a real drawback. The battery does not fit the old Exilim here by the way, this one is a little thicker.
Conclusion: We see that the people behind the camera this time truly innovative ideas have installed. So 5 points from me!
Who wants a snapshot camera for almost all situations, will not be disappointed here.
Well why I have only given 4 points here.
The camera has obvious quality defects.
Earlier Exilim cameras were fairly stable but they are constructed unfortunately very weak mechanically. This starts with the ZR-100, which I had ordered parallel for a friend who came to have defective.
The problem seems to be that somehow the lens suspension gives up the ghost due to vibrations.
Suddenly the lens no longer closes and it is "Lens Error" appears.
Here one has unfortunately saved in the quality result you have a camera you have to handle with kid gloves.
Who designed the belonging punished more so than the rest of the camera design, especially the software - describe above - a clear earned "Very Good".
Who wants outdoor with his camera, or on vacation, be should consider.
This here - in any case the series that I had is too sensitive for that.
Because much worse processed as my "old Exilim", that was the. 1000 hr battery life. The robust was like a shoe.
The here is technically top. High disappointing. More and more companies go to this "buy and throw them away" train. That's a shame. And it's not sustainable. The dealers will feel it on the number of returns cameras also.
This will be much higher than in the old Exilim.
My tip: Convert 29 Euro to buy them and the same equipment ERGO insurance so.
