So people should just ye think carefully what claims you did ... Of course this is I can achieve (to 9000 euros) much better results with a professional equipment in a price range more than 1000 euros. Only the question is whether it is really necessary for a hobby photographer. Professional photographers buy anyway other cameras.
So I am very happy with this camera ... was initially a bit disappointed but after a certain training period I am more than satisfied ...
Small tip: The image stabilizer should be on "SHOOTING ONLY" are and to continuous operation only in the film function which in turn then goes automatically but .... When filming the image stabilizer is always on continuous operation ...
The movie function is really good for a gigantic bridge camera in daylight and just great. In low light conditions it can natürliich slightly ... but as I said people who would wonder awaits another 10 years waiting for clear is until then anyway everything again better :-)
The image stabilizer is also more than great ... and I had other superzoom cameras !! So to 20x zoom are really sharp photos in it. Clear you should hold the camera already reasonably quiet when the light is weaker ... but that's quite feasible and in bright light no problem ... Even with full digital zoom (at least 80x zoom) are still sharp photos doable. ..
Have tested the camera even in low light conditions and must say the results were more than satisfactory. Well sometimes you must then just lend a hand and may not just the auto or scene modes use even though you work in my opinion very well. If you are investing yourself hand the results of course even better ...
And in complete darkness one should perhaps just once pulling a tripod into account ... Even with professional cameras you get at some point only the best results if you use a tripod ...
For a camera like the PowerShot SX1 you can already think about it. A good tripod for a camera like this one gets from just 20 euros on Amazon !! z. B. from Hama and for this camera perfectly adequate !! It's just not as hard as a professional DSLR !!
So people there are always different opinions and tastes differ. Therefore you makes itself ne opinion and do not be swayed by bad reviews here you. There is even at the last Fuji S100 in several magazines winner was very different opinions.
I think partly it's just very subjective opinions as one feels photos ... I think the photos of the Canon PowerShot SX1 wonderful ... The camera is in my opinion worth the money !!!
I can not understand that many people on the Internet complain about the battery life also. Clear should not use normal batteries !!!
But clearly you need BATTERIES !!!! The best 2 * 4 AA batteries with at least 2700 mA / h, then there is no problem with the batteries !!!
I'm very satisfied with the duration of the 2700 mA / H batteries. If there are new needs it, of course, two three charges until full maturity is reached !! So much for this topic !!!
And one more tip: Anyone who is not satisfied with the contrast, sharpness, saturation and hue can this in "My Color" menu, which can be reached with the function key, adjust. Namely, the various offers such as "Vivid", "Skin Tone", "Neutral", etc. or just "Custom Color" and there you can adjust it as you want.
Focus or sharpness problems I could not find the best sake. Are set here at the pictures you can see something the camera so it. Summer Photos are submitted ... once he finally is back ... and so far I was not yet on photo tour since this is not exactly ideal for the cold ... As a freeze fingers off ... because one needs at the beginning but a little time for the necessary settings ... So even better pictures will follow as soon as it is a little bit warmer ...
The camera is just as good as the photographer ... accordingly, the pictures !!!
Who does not want to deal with should the camera be ne for 150 Euro Compact procure with his good automatic mode is probably so happy.
If someone but would like to get the most out of a very good camera, without herumzuschleifen an expensive and heavy DSLR with him who is here with this camera well served !!!!
In my opinion, the automatic mode is not the worst but I give myself not satisfied. Especially in low light ... focusing goes pretty fast and sharp etc.
I can not understand the many criticisms here ...
I give 6 stars out of 5 stars because I am more than satisfied :-)
