After the meantime, more than 300 photos can be said that it is very well suited as a snapshot camera. In automatic mode, the corresponding program is depending on the exposure, lens distance and the subject chosen (Portrait, Macro, Moving Object, backlit photo, etc.) All course also be set manually.
The individual criteria:
Technical Specifications:
-----------------
Best PDF See under product information! There is nothing further to add.
Menu navigation:
------------
The menu is clearly designed, if I have a few days used to be able to use all functions operate unerringly. After my first 100 photos, I was well acquainted with the menu structure.
Display:
--------
The display shows the images sharp and color neutral, all menu items are good to read. Even with stronger sunlight, it is clearly visible. The 2.7-inch monitor with 153,600 pixels is quite small, but the camera is not just bigger.
Special Effects:
---------------
In addition to image enhancement can be also special effects like HDR, Painting, Rich-tone Monochrome, Miniature, Toy Camera, Pop Color, partial color, Soft High-Key, water color, use illustration to change the record. Photographer with a penchant for playing here so a wide field.
Speed:
----------------
Can score vigorously WX100 at speed. She is quickly ready to shoot after power and the autofocus times give no cause for criticism: 0,15 seconds in wide angle and 0.27 seconds in the Tele make it across the entire zoom range to a good snapshot camera.
Image Quality:
-------------
The colors appear natural. The sharpness is for a compact camera in this price range very well (of course not at the level of a DSLR).
Other:
----------
A special argument for divers may be the underwater housing, which can be bought as an accessory. It protects the camera up to 40 meters depth, but should also be very expensive.
Of particular note:
------------------------
The DSC-WX100 has great features to offer, some are often found only in DSLR range. Such as:
- HDR (indispensable in difficult lighting conditions)
- Selective color (red, green, blue, yellow)
- Very quick trigger time
- Photos with background blur adjustable
- Continuous Shooting (10 images in one second or 2 frames per second)
(That create most DSLR not)
- Face Detection with Smile as self-timer
- Panorama recording function (ideal wide angle or 360 degrees recordings)
Conclusion:
------
After extensive testing, I am very satisfied with the picture quality as well as the numerous features. For the price range, it is an excellent camera. In particular, for users looking for a high-quality, yet lightweight and compact fit for a digital SLR camera.
