Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

I took the device after a long search and choosing a model with the parameters indicated in the list of qualities above. The quality of the pictures was not pleasant, and it took time to figure out the device. As a result, two modes became the main ones: P, in which you can select ISO, and M, for fully manual settings. First of all, I turned off unnecessary functions such as tracking in the settings, thereby reducing power consumption. The ISO value began to use the minimum, 80, in this case, the image quality is excellent, but requires good lighting. In other cases, I switch the ISO to automatic (the pixels become slightly blurry). I use manual settings for shutter speed and aperture only for scenario shooting. Often you also have to work on the brightness of the frame. The stabilizer fulfills the task perfectly, and passes only at dusk at large zoom values. Still pleased with the ease of portraiture on a soapy background. Of the shortcomings, I note the unsuccessful location of the speaker - when shooting, the fingers of the left hand most often end up on it and muffle the sound of shooting. Bottom line: the device is excellent, but it is not imprisoned in any way for an automatic machine (despite the presence of the latter) and for good quality pictures it requires fiddling with the settings, which pays off with interest (get ready for the black envy of photographers with car soap dishes). The possibilities for the class, size and cost of the device are impressive. For those who like to delve into the details, little things and nuances of image quality, I sincerely recommend it, the result will not disappoint.

Pros
  • compactness of the device, solid zoom, high light sensitivity, flawless operation of the combined (optics + electronics) stabilizer, powered by standard AA batteries, manual settings for almost all parameters, a wide range of settings, a good range of shutter speeds and apertures, quite powerful, retractable, adjustable according to brightness flash, good video quality and resolution, device orientation sensor, extremely convenient control using a multifunctional joystick.
Cons
  • long charging of the flash after each frame, power consumption of the device, not the best quality of pictures in automatic mode, the constructive possibility of the battery cover being skewed when closing, the absence of a battery charge indicator on the screen until the moment of discharge, poor location of the speaker.
