Long compared - My favorite found (H10, ZX1, PL70, 200exr)

I would like to give something back what I got through to you many times today.
A review of a product.

I am not a professional but would usually only find the ideal product for me.
This time it was about a camera. To be specific to a compact camera that I want to virtually pocket Suitable often have it.
Once I can do pretty good pictures with my Bridge (Panasonic FZ8), but do not always want to take away (as Papa must already backpack with all sorts Kinderkrams, jackets, helmet, wheel, dolls etc. wear). Because every gram counts.

My claim to my new compact camera was:
Wide - max. 28mm
Zoom: happy, at least 140mm - Other.? Why not
Image Quality: top priority (after noise orgy my Pentax Optio)
Storage media: SD card (have as many slots and corresponding to notebooks and netbook)
I also wanted to have a camera with which I (like without flash) can make beautiful interior photos.
For films enough for me ne good VGA resolution.
I photograph primarily my children with all kinds of actions within and outside the home. Approximately 70% in the House.
Usually I magnify my pictures up. 20-30cm, but the images look mostly only on PC.
The whole pocket fit and at a maximum price of 200 (which can then also other pretty nice specimens such secrete Ricoh CX series.)

So much for my conditions.

After research in various forums I had zeroed in on the following devices that I wanted to take a closer look and then some of that a personal assessment was performed:

Panasonic - TZ7
Panasonic - ZX1
Samsung - PL70
Casio -H10
Fuji - 70exr
Fuji - 200exr

Now my subjective opinions on the devices. The starred items I had in the test.

Panasonic - TZ7
Camera is probably of the qualification and the options Top, but different (big thing) and the budget for me because of the size. However, the images that I have seen were top (if certain basic rules of photography have been followed).

Panasonic - ZX1 *
Initially made a good impression. The smallest of the bunch, yet wide-angle, 8x zoom to 200mm, simple menu. Unfortunately, I was also here the picture quality is not convincing. Outside when the sun makes the ZX1 as quasi everything Digis great pictures. For interior shots, I can, however - at least in my experiments - not confirm. The automatic switches like in a high Isobereich and the images simply act not clear. Can create the option good HD video and zoom while filming this lack by no means compensate. Thus, the ZX1 was for me out of the race.

Samsung - PL70 *
Nice particles The Billigheimer in my selection, giant display, acts wertig could me but not in terms of image quality convince (rustled quite early). In addition, the camera took quite a lot of time between shots or when shutter lag.

Casio -H10 *
Seems smaller in promotional video. Function keys are assigned sensible. However, I personally draws the camera way too soft. The focal length, however, is great. When Gutwettertest the zoom range really a grenade. However KO criterion was the Weichzeichnerei.

Fuji - 70exr
Was eliminated from based on the known quality issues. Especially the image quality as opposed to 200exr to be much worse. Since it did not help the large focal length range.

Fuji - 200exr *
And since my favorite comes around the corner. The F200EXR. I tested the particles through their paces and get in sum here on the personal best performance for me.
The pictures are sharp crack. Even in dark rooms but also in warehouses makes 200exr even noise-free and clear images without having to accept the flash to complete. This will later thank me and my child and all the animals that I'm going to get well so keen on the memory chip.
The manual controls (aperture, ISO, etc.) are compared with the normal Auto mode the above Cams also for ambitious photographers an additional argument.
And all within the budget, in the ideal size. Not to mention the cheap replacement batteries (under 5) which can get over that you can not shoot 800 pictures on a single charge.
The stigma "with low max. Focal length I can loose cope with a corresponding post on the PC (enlarged).

That's it from me!

I refer again to my purely subjective personal impression. Test pictures I will send for lack of time no. Ciao!
