Pros + 50P Recording
+ Big wide angle
+ Good touch functions
+ Very good low light behavior
- Good display
Cons - Image characteristics can not be changed
- few image control options
- Small (touch) screen
- Image characteristics can not be changed
- few image control options
Conclusion The hardware configuration is quite interesting considering the price range.The sharp display could be somewhat larger though.The wide-angle with virtually no lens distorsion is unique.The Bildqualiät and the low light performance are also competitive.Those who can do without helpful things like histogram or changeable image characteristics get a nice piece of technology for a reasonable price.For ambitious filmmakers who want more control over their shooting the competition offers more value for the money.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.
