Total score ?
(maximal 570)		358 
Pros + manual controls for shutter and aperture
+ factory setting adjustable
 
Cons - no microphone and headphone jacks
- no accessory shoe
- no filter thread
- display resolution only average
 
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.
