Good workmanship - Poor image quality

Panasonic DMC-SZ 3 EG-K (16.6 Megapixel, 10 -x opt. Zoom (2.7 inch display)) (Camera)

Customer Review

The case feels very sturdy and looks good. The optical zoom function works reliably, the property offers good quality, but is a bit slow. The HD video function is a great feature, especially because you get to hear sound on the video in the Play mode. In addition, the camera offers many settings on the software side as ISO, etc.
Unfortunately, all this does not help, because the picture quality is really bad. Although I did not expect much for the price, but was still amazed! If you hold the camera in the backlight, you can see clearly and blue streaks on the entire field of view, the image is blurred, the colors and sharp edges one must to think. Such effects I know 15-year-old low-Webcams. It's really crying that manufacturers marketing reasons chip block with huge resolution of tens of megapixels, this camera provides the equivalent of a maximum of 5 megapixels. The remaining can throw you, because they simply do not contain any image information. The more pixels, the more image noise: In addition, the principle applies. Although it is here trying out the noise attributed by software, but that does not help more.
When I take pictures in the garden, I have red dots sitting on the green leaves, the images are made up of verschiedenfarbigsten Farbkleksen together, dark image areas have bright, light blue dots in it. After a bit of fiddling I then came to the conclusion that you get the photos a little better, if you set the ISO setting to the lowest setting and the screen resolution significantly reduced.
On a beautiful, sunny day, the quality is acceptable - at twilight or indoors but it takes more to smartphone. In my experience, the competition in this price segment is not better in other respects.
I have 3 stars awarded, because the functionality is good and the camera is well suited for snapshots on bright days. Also, the price is simply unbeatable.
