Pros + Best image quality is at the limit of FullHD
+ Many manual controls
+ small, portable
Cons - fiddly operation
- too small wide-angle
- No Zebra
- Manual focus very poor
- only satisfactory image quality
- operation via joystick / Menu
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.Average camera, compact dimensions being its biggest advantage
