Fun camera for quick snapshots

I myself prefer generally a system camera, but for my teenage daughter, this is less important here include a small compact camera for the pocket, with which you can make some quick snapshots. Since the appearance also looks quite colorful and hip, I decided spontaneously for this camera for my daughter.

The camera looks really not bad and has at first sight a cool design and ensures already for one or the other eye. It turns on in any case.

With its size of the tiny camera fits comfortably in any pocket. But the size has its drawbacks. When I tried out the functions of the camera, I was with my big fingers and hands real operating and holding problems. For my daughter this was easier.

The camera offers hardly appreciable adjustment functions, most of the settings, the software detects and selects an internal program. In addition, you can still choose from a number of effects to highlight certain elements or the image to add extras. A nice gimmick in between.

With regard to the resolution of 20 megapixels, the sensor used seems to have some problems, because in fact I could not real quality improvements over photos realize that I have made with my 14 megapixel camera. Rather, go by the lack of attitude control lost some image details that one with a manual adjustment could highlight (eg objects in the foreground or background). For quick snapshot, the camera is OK, but this could take up as a smartphone.

Also the possibility of video recording to HD quality is not outstanding, which takes advantage of the small size of the camera negative impact. Once you wobble with the small and lightweight device in the fingers more than a good grip device, and one from time to time the microphone stops easily, so that the sound recording does not work, just because the grip surface is limited.

It comes with a CD with an image management software for the camera.

All in all a small Fun Camera for trouser or jacket pocket, which is particularly suitable for the fast snapshot and this looks quite striking. Those who expect an outstanding camera, you should look rather to another device. The camera itself is not bad, but also not a product that particularly stands out next to the appearance. Especially since there are certainly better choices with more functions in the price range. Who of course the small footprint with nice design will be an advantage, and if one does not expect outstanding photos and just going to want to make a snapshot or party like it, without having to make a lot of settings, which is to the camera quite have his joy.
