Pros + Very sharp
+ small, portable
Cons - Colorful factory settings cannot be modified
- only satisfactory image quality
- operation via joystick / Menu
Conclusion 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.Average camera, compact dimensions being its biggest advantage
