Large and small weaknesses

The video camera provides a good the quality of her recording. This applies to the resolution of the image, as well as the color conversion and the shading. A Hollywood film should thus not rotate, but for holiday or party videos it should be more than enough. Therefore, the camera has ever met the most important criterion.

Even the manufacturer has been tinkering with current standard measures a number: The lens cover closes automatically, the (touch) display can be rotated in all directions (and flips the image accordingly) and the Lederhandgurt is relatively free adjustable. The design is relatively successful. Eben simply.

In addition to these main positive points but some negative points have crept:

1) The camera is supplied with a software. The problem is that the camera will save the video files in the mts format. Although you can transfer this by using the software and example. With the Windows Media Player to play, but it can be loaded into the least cutting or machining programs. Actually, this should be no problem, since the manufacturer has also included software to convert. Here, however, is a trial version. Ergo must be found a freeware converter. So it goes.

Included is 2) a battery. This can be easily inserted into the camera and using a supplied cable also unprobelmatisch load. Annoying is much more that he is already inclined in an hour, give up the ghost. Who about one day is therefore on the way, will therefore get some problems. Here was clearly saved definitely. If necessary need a second battery, or simply a better battery ago.

3) When it comes to processing you can expect from Canon is actually more. Somehow the camera is indeed already solid, but works for example. The page display the normal camera wearing ever been on. As would have been possible.

4) The problem is also that touch menu. Just quickly a function (even if only the recording quality) is not change it. Therefore you have to click a lot and looking straight at the beginning too. In addition, the display then it is relatively small and you look at the small icons also like to verklickt times.

5) In addition, falling massive difference in quality on the recording. Under normal conditions, as mentioned above, all runs just fine. But HD recordings are not as clean as one would expect. The autofocus takes in a fast zoom change their time. But for the normal recording, it is enough.

Conclusion: A quite useful camera, however, with many large and small weaknesses. Did not bother me particularly, the seltsamme file format. If a software is announced on the package and then not really beiligt the result is that it pretty brash.
