It's true.
But:
with the corresponding zoom lenses available for this small (er) s cameras one is quite fast in dimensions and weights that are not too far away where an ancients DSLR.
Therefore: the large DSLR cars are (me) on many occasions too big and heavy, the above little usually not small enough.
My choice therefore fell on a really small with great features - the Panasonic Lumix. 5
My most crucial criteria were:
'Aperture (f = 2.0)
'All (!) Parameters can be adjusted manually
'RAW + JPG
'Zoom 24' 90 mm (KB)
'Stabilizer
'Direct-format selection on the lens (1: 1, 3: 2, 4: 3, 16: 9)
'Optional optical or electronic viewfinder
'Production quality (eg metal case)
The camera's menu is well thought out and there is everything there, where it suspects quickly and has access. However, a number of options are available, the one 'old' Panasonic-users still seem strange - this is the price if you can all parameters also affect manually, but does not have (!).
Naturally also this camera via an iA function.
No, translated is not iA Donkey setting, but intelligent automatic. Or as the clippers says look and trigger, the rest for the camera. And she makes in 90% of all light situations amazingly well (but is in the other compact cameras from Panasonic, such as in the TZ models as well).
The LED screen on the camera back is sharp crack, very easily visible from almost all points of view and not a kink even with very 'heavy sun' light situations. In addition, the screen gives detailed feedback at all settings, which is set and how that affects - up to display of highlights, a live histogram, a viewfinder or even adjustable gridlines.
Very nicely solved: the dial, with the can be changed at any time desired by turning and / or pushing the Einstellungssparameter. This works ratzfatz and settling the camera for 'ransacking' of the menu is not required. Very nice touch that!
This is also true for the delay-free conversion of image formats directly on the lens (the camera also includes the option of all formats with a 'shot' save, and then select only afterwards the 'best' format).
And how are the pictures now?
You exceed the expectations that you so provides a small camera.
Moreover, it is simply fun to dedicate himself to his hobby with new explorers mood. And from his jacket pocket and without 'back'.
Sure you can only draufhalten with the LX5 and pull the trigger - but would be a pity if you do not use the almost infinite features provided by this camera (but still paid).
