So I eagerly awaited the F770.
When unpacking falls on the same, that it has the current standard size of the compact in this class (eg Nikon S9300).
The impression of quality is very good, only the mechanics of ausklappenden flash do not like so much. But that will only become clear in practice.
When first my good camera display noticed beautiful display with good brightness.
By quite a high resolution an assessment of taken photos is quite possible.
The first test photos I took in the EXR mode.
This is the 2nd view not as simple as assumed there is a lot here to settings and effects depending on the selected function.
For example, is in the "low noise" setting only a max. Image size of 3264 x 2448 pixels possible.
Here to mention the entire setting of the F770 would be really too much.
And that's about the "sticking point"; I find that the F770 a very good camera but to exploit the full potential you need to be familiar and "experiment".
The F770 is here something "spectacular", as there are for example some modes from multiple frames generates an image - with very good results.
Now I have put a lot of hours and a lot of photos, even compared with, for example, photos of the Nikon S9300 (fully comparable) made.
For me here is clearly the F770 winner in the overall image quality.
The camera really generated very beautiful photos, striking the very good image sharpness with high hit rate (there is hardly a blurred photo with you).
Also the noise performance is no reason for criticism, on the contrary, by the peculiarities of the F770 or different modes, you can achieve very low noise photos.
The optical image stabilizer works very well and also in video mode.
The FullHD video mode, the F770 is thus absolutely useful and of good quality.
Conclusion:
I wanted with my review here not again interpret the technical information that can be read elsewhere.
I want to play only my impression of the F770 and is very good!
For me it is not a "clippers" for beginners and laymen, because there are cheaper cameras that make the automatic mode very good photos.
When F770 needs to be familiar and, to experiment as already mentioned, something, then you can make excellent photos with it.
The potential for it has all!
Addendum 31.07.2012:
Meanwhile, I have taken many photos and even Full HD video with the F770.
The longer I work more with the camera more excited me.
When the photos of the F770 look at and compare it has, then it is found definitively that the image quality is top class.
The quality of the videos is super.
The Finepix is ​​definitely an above average compact camera!
