Pros + very sharp under good lighting
+ good price
Cons - lowlight
- no manual aperture control
- Little sharpness
- No wide angle
- lens distorted
Conclusion Compared to the SR11 this cheaper modell has a smaller hard disk, no control ring, a less sharp display, no view-finder a a smaller image sensor resulting in worse lowlight pictures.Many users will prefer paying additional 300 EuroMovie makers will look for manual aperture-control - which is only to be found in competing models.Holiday videomakers who trust automatic controls and don´t want to shoot in the dark will be satistied with good image quality for a good price.Low-light capabilities only average despite big sensor sizeImage sharpness, lens distortion and audio-features are almost all below averageAnd there seem to be no revolutionary concepts at work at the touchscreen-controlsThe fact that the Samsung camera mostly is priced a little below other models is no big comfort, since you also get notably more for the additional charge by the competion.
