Customer Review

First you have to make clear what it is exactly for this device. There is a full-fledged camera, which only lacks the display and it borrows the phone. Can set the camera or remotely via mobile phone then using the appropriate app (QR code is printed in the instruction booklet).

I confess I am a notorious mobile clippers. Main fields of application are snapshots of my kids and the associated everyday, holidays and from time to time also a couple of other photos.
Why should I plug in a camera when I have the phone with them anyway? The cameras that I own are either too bulky to lug around they always or inferior to the mobile phone.
Thus it should be clear that I am not an amateur photographer, but rather belong to the great mass of opportunity clippers.
Despite or perhaps because I have the following expectations for the camera:
1. small, handy
2. intuitive
3. nevertheless reasonable operating instructions in paper form, also readable in the age group 40+.
4. sharp images, particularly noise-free or at least low-noise images and realistic color reproduction
5. zoom fast, trigger and process

Klein is not just the camera. You definitely will not fit in your pocket, if necessary in a jacket pocket. About the handiness is debatable. If one is attached by means of the terminal on the camera phone, it sits very firmly, the whole story is but a little top-heavy and not balanced. Thus one can live anyway, if you up for this challenge. If one uses it so she is not much different from a normal compact camera, is there even a little inferior, since the compacts are generally better in the hand. Such use would be a waste. Your strengths are made only if one separates from Sony mobile. Then it is possible to lay the camera somewhere or keep well over their heads or shooting Selfies. You can with the other hand still holding the phone and has everything close eye (on the display), and can also trigger from there. I know of no compact cameras in the price range that has a remote release and you then also can detect from a distance the display. A distance of 20 meters are no problem with the Sony.

The operation is relatively simple. If you have read through the provided printed manual, you know the basics of how to handle the camera. The connection between the Sony and the phone is made most easily through NFC, but the WiFi can also be made manually by entering a code. The results but from the Quick Start Guide.
The setting (only on the cell phone display) are not explained here, but open up very quickly, at least the person who has ever been photographed with a camera. For detailed instructions is on the net. Again, there is again a QR code for scanning, which leads one to go.
You can help trigger and zoom directly to the Sony, if the situation requires it.

The camera zooms and dissolves quickly, though it takes about one to the images were saved to two seconds or transmitted to the mobile phone, depending on how much data is so that the camera will not immediately be available again. However, it is also possible to take continuous shooting.

The images have a very good quality. The colors are clear and natural. Even in low light the images are hardly noisy. Lightning I have not been missing, though I must habe.Man made mainly indoors in artificial light can not be put off by the preview pictures. The are very grainy, partially blurred and have absolutely nothing to the photo later recorded together. That is namely sharp and right exposed. So lay people without creating major problems good pictures. Who has more idea can also limit the automatic and self-adjust.
Even macros or moving objects succeed with it.

What is missing and what I do not miss this program are also features like Magic or any other game stuff, the brings some compact camera.

Conclusion:
A camera for the occasion Clippers, who otherwise only used the phone or a compact camera.
Unbeatable it is in exceptional Situtationen if you want to remotely control the camera. In addition, they hardly rustles.
