One should think pretty much in the S01, to which one wants to use them. Due to their design arise simply some inevitable problems, about which you should be aware when buying. The camera is extremely small, consistent way was to use elements such as knobs and wheels thus waived. What is so has in the S01 of functions is to be found in the Menu. Except for the zoom, which was combined with the release and a button for switching on / off, both at the top of the unit. There is also another little buttons which you enter the Playback mode. Everything else is controlled by the field on the touch screen / screen on the back. At settings there is not much. You can select image quality, a little playing around on the exposure, select the language and the video output format and change the flash mode, that's it. Delete also goes only via the touchscreen. This then is more like a smartphone because you pull a thumbnail to the trash. Smart I find the trigger via touchscreen. If the Auto Focus to focus again on something arbitrary, one can thus help him on the jumps that the motive you tap on the touch screen with your finger and waits until the shutter is released. This increases the yield noticeably sharp images. The push has failed quite pleasing for such tiny. A triple optical zoom is quite decent. Battery life and memory capacity are also absolutely satisfactory for the size.
The autofocus works a total of reasonably reliable. With fast-moving subjects, with poor lighting conditions, including backlit and other adversities, the S01 is not really good deal. All that I expected and accepted. For me, the desire to own a small camera that you simply times briefly pushes into his pocket and this is snapshot-capable, simply more important than optimal image quality in all aspects of life ... and the image quality in bright light is amazing Good. The S01 is simply a class-shoot camera, you can always and everywhere have it. As a snapshot camera for the small pictures between the S01 is really succeeded. Against the also existing competitor from Samsung (ST30) which is as small and compact, the S01 regarding image quality wins hands down. But it is and remains an ultracompact snapshot camera. In this category it is unbeaten for me. But who wants more and can not live with the mentioned weaknesses of this type of camera, it should be better not set.
