One drawback: the screen is not as brilliant as the Ixus 1100 HS. Only when I put the screen to full brightness in the menu, I was reasonably happy. Honestly, I thought at first even, so I'll give them back. Hence my recommendation: screen to a maximum! The battery life the harm does not appear, see below.
Meanwhile, I have well over 1,000 images shot with it and have to say the little thing is excellent:
- Small and convenient, very comfortable to wear. In no shape, almost a flatterer.
- Light and unobtrusive, though have a small waist bag for it, but more often I put the WX350 loose in your pocket.
- Top pictures, let the quality is worthy only of the screen. They do so even quiet shooting under extreme conditions such as "blurred", too much light or near darkness. The results are stunningly good. The electronics brings a lot out where I would not expect it and saves almost all corrupt images.
- Fast as it is, although in the I + preferred setting (= yellow symbol on the adjuster) was something "recalculated" under difficult conditions, before you could shoot again. But because of the good results I took gladly accept. You can deselect the setting (green icon), and then this processor time falls away.
- The 20-times zoom is outstanding. Even free handmade images succeed very well in good light, otherwise you should leave it or use a tripod.
- The battery lasts loose an intensive photo day through, I do not wear more spare batteries around with me, you need it simply no longer. At night, he must be charged but for a while. Since all chargers are suitable with USB plug, falls on the journey away a small piece of luggage.
The control-knobs and -Rädchen are small and nothing for fat fingers. Small camera = small buttons, which is probably physics or geometry and whatever. The Ixus 1100 was operated via the display, with the Sony WX350 I got along better than the Ixus after three years of intensive use, because the Ixus screen always jerky and often did what he wanted.
Buy recommendation for lovers of pocket cameras!
