Total score ?

Pros + 50P Recording
+ Big wide angle
+ much image control
+ Automatic lens cover
Cons - No headphone jack
- small wide angle
Conclusion The slightly lower sharpness, worse display and lack of image adjustment settings as well as a headphone jack are restrictions due to the price.The equipment is nonetheless remarkable for this price class.Particularly for filmmakers who don´t want to rely on automatics only.
