| + Many manual controls
| Pros |
| Cons | - Image characteristics can not be changed
- few image control options
| - partially the operating procedures are not well conceived
- no 1/25 sec. shutter speed in cinema mode
- small wide angle
| - partially the operating procedures are not well conceived
- no 1/25 sec. shutter speed in cinema mode
- small wide angle
| Cons |
| Conclusion | The high resolution of its 3D images is a real novelty in this price range.In automatic mode, beautiful 3D images can be made quickly and easily.Manual control, however, is scarce. | The sensorīs high pixel resolution seems to reduce Canonīs usually excellent sharpness.Some missed functionalities like zebra or a manual control ring are back on bord.The menues are smoothly animated, but for examplethe intricate handling of the focus hinders a fluent workflowA little disappointing is that the big 1/2 sensor size doesnīt result in better low-light performance.So for some users Canonīs 2008 models will be more interesting, especially as these are decidedly cheaper. | The sensorīs high pixel resolution seems to reduce Canonīs usually excellent sharpness.Some missed functionalities like zebra or a manual control ring are back on bord.The menues are smoothly animated, but for examplethe intricate handling of the focus hinders a fluent workflowA little disappointing is that the big 1/2 sensor size doesnīt result in better low-light performance.So for some users Canonīs 2008 models will be more interesting, especially as these are decidedly cheaper. | Conclusion |
