So far I had for this purpose the HX 50. There were a few points that have bothered myself.
So off to the dealer I trust. There I get two cameras to the test. Once the note 61, which was my favorite by magazines and it is this Canon. This was the favorite of the dealer. In addition I have my HX 50 chosen for my test.
I've chosen 5 motifs. This I have photographed in five settings. Once in the dark without a flash in dark with lightning - these two settings 30 Gier Zoom. Then I have been traveling in the dim light. This also in 30 Gier Zoom. Finally, then by day. One in 10 and one in 30 he Zoom Zoom greed.
The result has been considered in the 18-inch monitor, 10 x 15 and in A 4 format.
In tens zoom the images all three cameras were optically of the same quality.
In the dim light I liked personally the result of Canon best. Likewise, in the dark. Here the picture was for my taste not too coarse ..... less noise. Also by lightning was the result of Top.
In 30 Gier Zoom by day I was surprised by two cameras. The motive was a pine with raindrops in the background a bird with flowers and raindrops in the foreground.
Even with the pine saw each needle clearly ..... razor sharp.
One of the cameras was also the Canon.
Conclusion: for me has a surprising manner the Canon made the race. This I have bought.
I myself can only recommend everyone not to give up all the magazines and test results eight. Here often influencing factors the test result, which has nothing to with the actual photo quality. Here I would like to mention two examples. The Canon has no internal memory. There were zero in a magazine of 10 points. Optical viewfinder has had only the TZ. So Sony had here already 10 points, Canon 20 points off the winner. In the other ratings, all three are almost always on the same level. So you have little chance to catch up with these residues. But the image itself is not affected this residue indicated.
Flash all three. At Canon and Sony to open the flash and is above the device. This applies as well for the red-eye reduction. In paragraph 61 it is in the housing built here is a risk that covering the flash with your fingers when holding. Nevertheless, all three Lightning got 10 points.
One should always ask if you can test the camera. One should have his own motives and compare.
That's better than the opinion of a third.
