I would like about the performance here but me not omit, which is obviously also not disputed by even the greatest critics and was also often cited.
About the performance of the camera:
Here I can not understand the high expectations of buyers and consumers.
Have you times the lens or the lens better viewed, what is the get out there?
Noisy images in lowlight?!?
If I want to have a low-noise image at dusk, I have to spend about 3,500 for camera and lens, and even then there are often Nörgeler.
For normal to good lighting conditions I think the pictures really good and true color.
However, when I aufzoome the images until it is no longer at the computer, of course, I also see that image noise.
I think that these are making the most of the critics so and then disappointed.
What I can say though, and is also admire that the Z1 Compact produces genuine low-noise videos lowlight, better than my Full HD Handycam Sony HDR SR1.
Drop test (only for information)
Today I have my Z1 thrown in our walk-in shower (height of fall about 1.10 meters) of a walking motion out.
Rights it was only through a screen overlay and it has (perhaps even permanently) survived this test without any injuries.
Respect and thank goodness !!!!
Do not try, was a mistake!
Battery life:
I am motorists.
Have the phone via Bluetooth coupled with a hands-free,
am connected via Wi-Fi with my mobile hotspot (cheaper tariff)
GPS is turned on for Blitzer APP :-)))
and am connected via the headphone jack with my car radio.
So I hear ALL DAY about 12 hours traveling either my favorite songs MP3 or usually even the sender via TuneIn app.
I have not yet managed to empty the battery completely on 1 day.
Have meisst about 30% left, although previously not fully charged about 85% display brightness while on automatic and no other Power save settings that indeed offers mobile yet.
Kind Regards
Andreas
