Customer Review

After a take-along-Compact Canon during some intense than expected river walk has adopted a new like had to be one that some may take more and accompanied me where a system camera or SLR either too bulky or too bad, or both is. The small TG fulfilled most conditions, except for the viewfinder, to it but not anywhere else are in this class. Apart from normal walks, romping with animals of all kinds and some beautiful moments of paragliding take-off now the short conclusion:

Unfortunately, the camera has an absolute no-go, namely a nononono-go. I speak of the mode dial on the back. This thing is so awkwardly placed so that it is adjusted at every opportunity: when pulling the camera out of your pocket or backpack pocket, when using with gloves, short for virtually any use. This related to the original purpose of the apparatus images under any circumstances can the whole thing annoying farce mutate. Because when it comes down to it, I do not want to double and triple check the camera, but only pull the trigger and get started. And since it does take 120 fps HD Movie sometimes just shooting in any comic kaleidoscope mode. So please. Who would do such a thing? Each phone has felt AD 1244 has a key lock. Olympus?

Next: the three buttons to the right of the housing. Okay, the big one is for taking pictures, the small left and right to turn on / ARGUS is switched on and the movies. All well and good, but which is which? In the heat of battle the wrong was ever printed and then films the camera instead of shutting down or turn off, rather than filming. GUI Design, 2nd semester. What's going on at Olympus?

Then all those mentioned effect modes. Who needs it: like it. Alone: ​​makes the stuff reached via the menu, not on the surface. No need. Who wants to make his images absolutely broken, has a lot of programs and apps on the computer and the smartphone available.

GPS. A nice feature, unfortunately, the track record in time playing crazy. Whether this is at the front desk, to the settings or just to the camera, I do not know. The fact is that I would have so liked to do some true adventure sections, which assumed my camera to this extent with the reality of it has to do less.

There are quite well Positiva: Camera keeps in fact from some, has some interesting scenes modes (useful macro, surprisingly good panorama), can function as a flashlight, the film quality for the price is very fine, especially at 120 fps, the photo quality within the limits of such compacts is also okay, and that's the point at the end. The case touches his tidy, there is no outgoing lenses / flashes. Actually, everything okay. Only this dial

Would I buy the camera again? Good Question. If the competition has solved it with the self-employed-making dial better, I'd like to see relevant products like closer. Because the wheel has finally tasted two Puntke deduction.
