Total score ?
(maximal 570)		344271
Pros - Good display
- optional 3D
- No more Trauerraender
Cons - Image characteristics can not be changed
- few image control options
- Low sharpness
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.Those who plan to shoot a lot of 3D should rather go for a dual-lens model of any major manufacturer.Panasonics adapter solution has indeed improved compared to the predecessor, but does not deliver particularly sharp results.
