Noteworthy is the excellent image tranquilizer mode, which provides a steady, sharp image. Also, there is great progress as far as the autofocus.
The photographs are all very good. Shows its flavor is that there are very few controls and the films quasi can start immediately. The setting for film effects like retro look, etc. I have not tested, because it this is nice features that hardly needs an everyday.
Convincing is the large and bright display, which is also every angle. Better it is hardly.
Of course, the low price also has some downsides, with whom you can live quite well.
1. The accompanying manual is her name not worth it. May look without the Internet use the most important functions you most. The most important set of printed instructions is "See the Internet at ... to".
2. A microphone connector is missing - unfortunately! Since then you have a 56-fold zoom, the sound you have but only from the local area.
3. To insert the memory card you have to swing open the monitor, causing the camera turns once. The cards but you should change only when the camera is off. For this purpose, a slot would be required which is not covered by the monitor flap. On top of that you have to connect a memory card cover, which one can easily forget.
4. About the maturities of the individual card sizes are only the electronic manual information, but you also have here only very intense looking. My card has 32 GB, which arrived for 4 hours of DVD quality video or film for 2 h movie in 50fps high resolution. The advertised in the product description opportunity to record in MP4 and AVHC same time I could not discover. The battery life is significantly less than 2 hours.
5. The sensor is indeed full HD, but very small. Effects with a variation of the focus area so therefore likely to be relatively small.
Overall, the R506 is a small, lightweight camera that is easy to use and you can also there when you need them. What use is the most amazing camera that can then be at home because of size or weight.
Unlike digital cameras that can film ALSO, one focuses on the R506 on the films. The great anti-shake and the good situation in hand to ensure that then come out and meaningful results.
From product ergonomics it is a device that allows even non-professionals can cope very well.
