For the price range 200 I wanted to not expect miracles, but already what clever, Solid what a couple of years holds and makes good pictures.
The first impression when unpacking was great: small, handy, manageable, easy to use.
There is no charging station for the battery, it is loaded directly into the camera. If this gets too hot, the charge will stop. This was new for me - as it is in the holiday effect in hotter countries - have no experience ?!
The first test made me unfortunately quickly retrieve the earth.
The Panorama function (horizontal, horizontal, clockwise, counterclockwise - all selectable) works quite well as long as you very slowly rotates the camera. Otherwise very significant errors such as fences are just originate strongly wavy etc.
In addition, I miss any color - A garden with green grass and flowers, brown wooden fence - looks more gray in gray and dreary. - In addition, no 360 ° Panoramas - but is also in the description I think !!
The remaining functions are too wirrig - 3 automatic programs are too much of a good thing for me.
In addition, you could really find no differences in the photos of the different automatics.
If you want rich colors or interesting photos you have to go already in the individual effects.
Because, unfortunately, shows the biggest shortcoming - fast triggering yes - but only once - after that a bar appears "image is processed". Quick So sometimes just make multiple images with effeckt of the children play or sports - nil.
The zoom works well, but the blurred images - even though I long zoom and a steady hand'm used to the DSLR`s.
Since I want to use if only the optical zoom - I disabled the digital - still you quickly when zooming in "Zoom for clear images -20x" was not deactivated apparently, is what ürbigens also not so clear pictures !!
What also bothers me only rarely you can manually turn on the flash, often only Auto Flash or Flash.
The dial is used to - but ok, but unfortunately really too easy, so you want to quickly take a photo with one-handed operation - but depends on the menu because it has minimal moving the wheel - a pity - motive is gone.
In addition, I've missed very important for me strengthens features like:
- Manually adjusting the ISO brightness (extra Effecktpunkt exists - but what set manually?
Even after I had Googled I found nothing - anscheinden automatic in the background)
- Long-term exposure (the Canon Ixus [140] makes really good pictures for your price - freely adjustable to 30 seconds trigger time) - here I have been looking in vain ...
The camera promises a lot which would explain the price !!
The functions and their 'skill' is unquestionable - but unfortunately a lot of things in the wrong place
or even limited in application in each individual sub-items.
Small, light, good battery are clear advantages - the "good reviews" speak for themselves.
Just enough for my needs this is not - although it should be only a pocket camera for the way !!
"Can not find intuitive" This extreme search for the right Eistellung and me after a few days causes return the camera !!
Who longer with you work and dealing like one probably deny some or find his points for a good picture faster.
Only for 200 which is clearly not enough. Pictures too bad - about hidden functions or just only automatics. SCHADE
