Customer Review

I am enthusiastic hobby photographer and actually go exclusively with a digital SLR from Canon. But since I want to often take especially when traveling at night the whole camera stuff, I was looking for a small, but also good digicam in between and for snapshots.

The first impression of this camera is ever good. We have here what in the hand ", the weight is not without, it suggests a high quality camera.
Included are simple batteries, which unfortunately does not hold too long. I was just a very short movie and promptly lit up the battery symbol on. For photos it holds a little longer, but still appealing is the purchase of a battery set with an appropriate charger, what additional costs of more than 40, - raises upwards.
As the storage medium you need an SD card, which of course also still has to be purchased separately. I had it ready because of my DSLR.

The pictures with this camera is easy. There are even different Progammfunktionen who really surprised me with such a small camera. Especially fun is the fish-eye effect ". Does one need not really often, but in cities with high-rise buildings can provide very interesting visual effects.

Confusing for me was the beginning of the Blitz. I generally do not read instructions, but learning in doing experiments, I was initially a little overwhelmed, how to turn on the flash. Eventually I understood that you have to open it automatically, there is a fold-lightning. This solution I find not a good choice, because you always have to make it myself, whether flash is needed or not. Especially with such a small camera, you can enjoy it actually, that you do not have to think and simply can photograph it happening. Also the question is how long this drop will flash in order, or it will break.

I think also that the camera - especially when using the flash - long takes, until you can do another photo. In general it is very slow, even for that matter off. Stuck a very fast in the bag "is not possible if you do not want to scratch the lens.

The image quality of the camera is OK. Clearly they can not compete with a DSLR, somewhere the price of higher-quality cameras must indeed be justified. ;-) For snapshots, the camera is quite suitable.

The screen is nice and big, you can look at how it is nowadays so common with digital cameras the photos the same. Photos are here partly somewhat grainy and out of focus, the PC that looks partly again different.

It is important that you also hereby once exerts little and the various program functions tested before being used in full in a vacation.
