Total score ?
(maximal 570) | 322 | |
| Pros | + good auto modes
| |
| Cons | - our test model produced unsharp areas at the right image border
- hardly any control
| |
| Conclusion | The camera shows few dark sides but also no highlights for this price range.The wide angle as well as the sharpness and low light performance are ok for this price.If the unsharp area at the right image border is a problem only of our particular test model and not af the whole series, the camera can be recommended to those who do not value any manual control options. | |
