Not too impressed Good for batteries and chargers

Well I've been waiting for this item for a long time and finally got it a few days ago. It's a pretty cool little thing that feels great in the hand and has handy features like a backlit LCD display for low-light situations. But he has many problems. First, when the camera is busy saving a picture you just took and you try to turn on the LCD backlight, 75% of the time the display goes completely blank and stops working. You have to turn the camera off and on again for it to work again. Second, the time-lapse feature is amazing, but understand this: the shortest duration between each frame is 2 minutes. If you've ever captured a sunset, you need to capture a frame about every 30 seconds to make a movie out of it. Or if you record slow motion of a busy lake with boats floating around, most of the boats will disappear from the screen after 2 minutes and the "feel" of the slow motion will not be captured. Well, if you take some time, say, growing plants, there's no problem. It has intervals up to 24 hours! Third, he has a giant thing (sort of a noise filter) hanging from a rope (cable) that almost pulls out the string that's hanging there right now. Also, the camera behaves differently when this thing is plugged in and seems to forget some of the menu items I set, e.g. B. Saving the last zoom position and flash mode. Was this device developed by Microsoft or something like that?

Pros
  • Camera and photo
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
