Of course, a camera should not be judged by appearance, so once the most important for me points
- When 18x Zoom the telephoto range is incredible, the images are outside in the sunshine still really hot, even if they are about 1km away (or even further, in estimating distances, I am so not good) Even in the rain, the house opposite to the mountain still recognizable, which I can hardly recognizable to the naked eye.
- The macro is great, the images crisp and you can so to approach until the object even touching the lens. For me one of the most important features.
- Concert photos were supergut succeeded with its predecessor, here it will be no different. While not every, but quite a few and even at schummerigem light - as usual at concerts, you get the faces keen on removing razor. Even if people are moving it does not always work, however.
- The WiFi function is great, sometimes just send images to an email address can be very useful, it will save you the way on the PC. And if one has such a very old PC like me, who has no functioning USB port more, can also upload images to the PC finally. However, at 9 images, the transmission rate is satisfied.
- By the way there are small gadgets in which you can put together three or two images into one, which can sometimes look very funny and provide an opportunity to grab his children and animals together on an image, but in the individual recordings.
- With the smart function you can quickly and easily take pictures, much is preset, it automatically adapts to the situation, without having to search the menu for settings such as night shots, macro or face recognition.
Unlike its predecessor, there is now no more manual, which of course also explains many things yourself, but you should already have some idea of cameras. Fortunately, there are but a short manual, which has now been extended to include the WiFi function.
Compared to the former:
- The Lichtempfinklichkeit is higher, a White Lightning is usually no longer necessary. But it is a flash here, which can be opened by pressing a button.
- The on-off switch is located at another location, is only once a bit of getting used to.
- There is a direct link, because you can adjust the images online. The button is located very unfavorable because it may happen that you press it ever accidentally.
- The display also has a touch function, however, select only to focus or menu items, you can not trigger it.
- Unfortunately, the specifications in the magical setting completely gone, which is a big drawback for me. While you can take your own pictures as a background, but the guidelines for the different camera were so perfect. I really regret.
Conclusion:
For me, this camera is very well done, it fulfills most of what I expect from a camera. The images are crisp and clear, here I've never had trouble. Macro and Telephoto meet all the requirements, the menu is understandable. A memory card is not included.
