It's really a great camera!
+ Incredibly quick to deploy
+ Extremely low shutter lag
+ Very intuitive flash functions coupled with a really powerful flash (eg also: Soft Flash). Significantly more powerful than lightning the Z750!
+ Many automatic presets for carefree photography - even for the novice - thanks "Best Shot function"
+ Include all the important manual settings for the advanced photographer
+ Very simple operating concept
+ Super Video function: You can shoot until the memory card is full or the battery is empty in 640x480 in top quality! And plus there's still ne integrated mini video light with LED technology.
+ Extremely durable Li-ion battery! (Had previously ne camera with NiMH batteries: If you do not use the camera for longer, the battery thanks to high self-discharge empty whenever you need them just)
+ Super Bright display, which can be seen still perfectly even in bright sunshine.
+ Very compact in design, looks solid.
+ Very fast bracketing - even with flash - possible!
Of course, nothing is perfect, therefore, here are some notes:
- The display is very large, but has a rather low resolution. I find personally but not dramatically.
- The autofocus will work with a long focal length is no longer as reliable (tele mode). Here I have seen but much worse.
- The zoom range moves very quickly. The key you have to press very precisely even to intermediate steps between min. and max. Zoom (optical) to achieve.
- The built-in anti-shake is electronically based (ISO number is internally set very high). This more or noise (noise reduction by) less details. Nevertheless useful.
- The camera rushes already significantly from ISO 200. Is probably all EXILIM the case.
Finally:
This camera size, I can confidently awarded 5 stars! Although Casio is not a classic camera manufacturer, but here many intuitive functions are built, the one with the other missing (at least in this price range), not to mention the super control concept!
Anyone looking for a super compact camera with truly exceptional abilities and very neat image results will be well served with the Z850. The resolution of 8 Megapixels is in good light to their best advantage. At 1GB SD memory card fit about 200 images in the highest quality. Please do not use slow cards, this limit the operating speed of the camera! A Sandisk Ultra II provides best services with me!
Due to the extremely fast rescue missed you no motive. For snapshots and most situations highly recommended!
My tip therefore: Buy!
