Pros + manual controls for shutter and aperture

+ manual controls for shutter and aperture
+ factory setting adjustable
+ Best image quality is at the limit of FullHD
+ Many manual controls
Pros
Cons - no microphone and headphone jacks

- no microphone and headphone jacks
- no accessory shoe
- no filter thread
- display resolution only average
- fiddly operation
- too small wide-angle
- No Zebra
- Manual focus very poor
Cons
Conclusion The options for manual control surpass those of competing models.Hardly any lens distorsion, good sharpness and wide angle in combination with acceptable low-light capabilities: that is a novelty in this price region.However, there is zero connectivity in terms of microphones etc.The options for manual control surpass those of competing models.Hardly any lens distorsion, good sharpness and wide angle in combination with acceptable low-light capabilities: that is a novelty in this price region.However, there is zero connectivity in terms of microphones etc.In this price class currently no rival offers better image quality and more controlsHowever, compromises must be made in terms of wide angle and in the handling, especially the focussing.Conclusion
