Customer Review

I got the camera yesterday with the lens 12-32 and have diligently tried and made some shots.
I have also some cameras from Sony (Alpha 7R NEX5R, RX100M3) and wanted to possibly change, because the camera is very compact and a good range of lenses with MFT has.

Benefits:
(+) Very good display
(+) Camera is very small and handy
(+) Very good image stabilizer. I partly hands-free capture 2-second succeeded.
(+) Good autofocus I've adjusted to center
(+) Good picture quality
(+) Good, compact lens. Addendum 4:12:14: It's probably not as good (see below).
(+) Very quiet shutter, when triggered can be heard only a very faint clacking like compact cameras
(+) Even in low light very easily focused and good pictures
(+) Good digital level (Level Gauge). These I use constantly, and that's why I also do not buy Sony Alpha 6000, because that was saved there
(+) ISO-limit can be easily fixed, I put it on ISO1600.

neutral:
() Lens must every time be "unlocked" only by hand, that is provided by rest position to 12mm. It is compact in the rest position.
() Adobe Lightroom does not know the files * .RW2 (yet?)
() Transfer via WIFI I have not tried yet. Maybe I can save so that the USB cable (see below)
() Videos I have not tried yet
() Time-lapse photography, I have not tried yet, but I will make

Disadvantages:
(---) No microUSB, charging is not possible in the camera. I'm used to and do not need any extra cables. Now I need an extra USB cable and a charger. I can tell no one that it is not technically possible, with 5 volts to charge one 7.2 volt battery. That's possible, see unit "Bundle Star Baxxtar Razer". While it may be good for a second battery to have an external charger, but for the single battery, which is stuck in the camera, annoys HUGE !!!
(-) Viewfinder image is very small, looks as if you look through a long shaft, at the end of the display connected.
(-) Some settings are not very intuitive, for example, press the wheel for advancing the exposure settings
(-) I have long struggled until I could manage exposures longer than one second. I then found out that the setting "Silent Mode" (have left the menu in English) was responsible. Such things should be more apparent.
(-) Display is fixed, can not swing up or down.
Wasted a private dial only for the focus mode appears - ()
(-) No internal flash, a compact flash is however included. So I did it probably never there when I need him, just like USB cable and charger
(-) Addendum 4.12.14: ISO 100 is disabled by default, although the camera, according to a report (Photo Test 6/14) there have the best dynamics. In the "Extended ISO" must be switched on.
(-) Addendum 4:12:14: In addition to the annoying USB cable, the USB connection is always read-only. So I have to either remove the card or delete / format the card with the camera features for deletion.
(-) Addendum 4:12:14: I think that's APS-C / full-frame aspect ratio for the aspect ratio of screen images better. But sensor caused everyone in this camera only in relation 4: 3. In the camera, although giving 3: 2 set, but then is cut off, and I do not want too.
(-) Addendum 4:12:14: The kit lens has not done so well in today Digitalkamera.de test (distortion, resolution). This is probably due to the compactness. I have no other objective and therefore no comparison.

Conclusion: very good, handy camera. Me USB cable and charger still very nervous, so there is once only 4 stars.
Addendum on 20:11:14: The new Lightroom Version 5.7 now the RAW files are read, however, not shown, the lens type (like Sony used). Maybe that should also be so.
Addendum 4.12.14: Meanwhile, still accumulated a few drawbacks. I still do not know if I return the camera or me to treat other lenses.
