  • Positiveschwenkbares Display
  • Positivesehr kompakt und hochwertig
  • Positivegute Videofunktion
  • Negativeschwächelt bei höheren ISO Werten

Der Testsieger kommt mit einer guten Ausstattung samt Klappdisplay sowie einer guten Bildqualität bis ISO 400 daher. Dabei ist das Modell sehr kompakt gebaut und sehr hochwertig gefertigt. Auch beim Filmen der Full HD Videos macht die kleine Kamera einen sehr guten Eindruck. Nur bei hohen ISO Einstellungen ist das Rauschverhalten nicht mehr als gut zu werten, wobei hier die Details nicht mehr zufriedenstellen...
