Pros + Best image quality is at the limit of FullHD
+ Many manual controls
+ Very sharp
Cons - fiddly operation
- too small wide-angle
- No Zebra
- Manual focus very poor
- Colorful factory settings cannot be modified
Conclusion 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.In terms of sharpness the camera operates at the resolution limit and the available manual control should also be sufficient for many ambitious filmmakers.In addition there are nice innovations such as the short 4K-recording or the automatic recording.Unfortunately the low-light performance is not quite on par with the competition and the partially extreme factory color settings can´t be modified in manual mode.
