First impression
My first impression of the camera is positive. The camera is nicely compact and lightweight. The device is well in hand when I pick it up. Furthermore, the camera seems easy to operate, the number of buttons is limited. The large LCD screen also immediately catches my eye. My images will in any case look good on that. I am curious about the possibilities of the camera.
Physical properties
** A compact device with a large LCD screen **
It is a compact device, the camera fits easily in my hand. In addition, the camera body with 390 grams of light weight. This way I know that I can take the camera anywhere at any rate. Although the body is not wide, the LCD screen is. This provides a clear picture of my recordings during and after shooting or filming. On top of the camera is a fairly large viewfinder which allows me to view my subjects well.
Image quality
** Colorful, sharp images full of detail through advanced system **
The camera has a 21.1 megapixel sensor and a powerful processor. My photos are therefore vibrant in color and contain a lot of detail. In addition, the device has a powerful processor that makes it possible to film in 4K quality. Taking pictures in dark situations is also no problem. Due to the maximum ISO range of 51,200 I still make reasonably good pictures in low light. The fast and accurate autofocus ensures that my images are always sharp.
Record videos
Making videos and vlogs in 4K quality
Especially recording is a treat with this camera. That's because the device records in 4K quality. A disadvantage of this recording quality is that you can't make wide recordings with it. That's because the footage is zoomed in automatically. While recording, the autofocus works very accurately and fast. The camera tracks my objects well during recording. You can fold the tiltable screen open sideways, which allows you to record vlogs easily.
User-friendly
** A clear menu and handy settings **
The camera is very clear. This makes the device easy to operate. In addition, the simply designed menu helps me in choosing the settings. I can set the camera both via the buttons and the touch screen. I am also very pleased with the A + mode. Here, for example, I set the contrast, color and sharpness of the background in advance via the screen. So I do not have to adjust this later on the computer.
Conclusion
This camera is categorized under small but nice. The device is compact and lightweight, which allows you to take it anywhere with you. In addition, the performance is definitely noteworthy. The images are very clear and detailed. I can record in 4K quality with this camera. While recording, the autofocus properly tracked my objects. It's also quite easy to find the right settings. The clear menu easily guides you through.
