Sony ILCE5100LB.CEC Compact System Camera with 16-50 Lens (24.3 MP, 180 Degrees Tiltable LCD, Fast Hybrid Auto Focus, Noise Reduction Feature, Wi-Fi and NFC) - Black

Buying this camera via an Amazon Warehouse deal solved a problem for me. Basically, I wanted to upgrade my NEX 5 and still use the same e-mount lenses, but didn't like the price Sony were asking. The deal I chose was listed as very good with no cosmetic imperfections and tested as being in full working order. This is one below the 'as new' category, which as far as I can tell means that the box it comes in is also perfect. The box didn't matter so much to me, so I took the chance, trusting that the 30 day returns Amazon backing would allow me to test the camera very well. Sure enough, it arrived in great condition and I took it on holiday to Madeira, a sub-tropical paradise with plenty of things to photograph in a variety of conditions. Initially, I found the camera less familiar than I'd expected. But, quickly came to terms with the changes, most of which were for the better. The frustrating menu system of the Nex series has gone, replaced by something much more intuitive, although occasionally still difficult to find the odd item. The kit lens that comes with the model I bought (prospective buyers should take care that they are buying a model WITH the lens included) soon proved to be excellent in general use. Since returning home I've also tested it with a Sony E-Mount Macro lens, with spectacular results. The BIONZ processing engine combined with 24 megapixels and a superior-auto setting really helps an enthusiastic snapper produce better results almost without effort. And if you do put in the effort, using manually tweaked settings, this little camera can produce shots that easily rival those of the much more expensive Sony DSLR's, and in some respects out spec them. The camera is also really light, conformable in small to medium sized hands, and feels well made. Carrying it on a strap around my neck was no effort at all. So, there's lots to like here, and for those upgrading from the NEX series, this model is the best of the bunch IMHO. I say that because the A5000 model has lesser features and the A6000 model not that much more, yet at a huge difference in price. The A5100 models use the same basic tech spec as the A6000, but with auto settings left intact for those who, like me, prefer them under most circumstances. The one thing that may be a deciding issue for some is this model's lack of a viewfinder. But, if you're happy to take the rear screen settings off manual, so that you can see it well in bright sunlight, then this isn't really a big problem most of the time. For sure, paying out a lot more for a model with a viewfinder was not something I was willing to do. There are a few negatives. Firstly, Sony has scrimped on value by not supplying a lens hood and external battery charger, as it did with the NEX 5 model. This means that unless you buy your own, as I did, you'll need to plug the camera in to a power source every time the battery runs out. Obviously, this is no use at all in the field. As for the lens hood, this is what I consider to be a design flaw, which Sony has expanded throughout its recent range. It used to be the case that a filter, such as a UV shield, could be attached to help and protect the lens, and the lens hood attached via a separate fixing, which could be reversed for storage. Now, on the A5100 and other models, the only way to attach a lens hood and a filter at the same time, is to screw the lens hood into the filter. What this does is you are not VERY careful, is accidentally over tighten the filter thread, making is almost impossible to remove with finger pressure alone. If this happens to you a way out is to reattach the lens hood, and putting slight pressure on it an an angle, use the leverage to begin unscrewing the filter. But do take care, as too much pressure could easily crack the filter and possibly damage the lens. Proceed at your own risk. So, in summary this is an excellent buy for those upgrading from a NEX camera, or wishing to buy into Sony's A series mirrorless compact cameras for the first time. But, only at Amazon Warehouse prices. I paid just over £259 for this with the kit lens. I would not have paid the £400 plus that Sony want for a brand new model.

I've previously owned the Sony A3000 as my first foray into interchangeable lense cameras but found it to be a bit too bulky for my photography needs. Then switched to the Fuji XF1 which, whilst a really nice pocket camera didn't have quite the low light or fast autofocus performance I like. So when I saw the A5000 I was immediately intrigued and when the A5100 became available from John Lewis became available at £299 with a 16 - 50 kit lense I snapped it up. Why did I go for this? Well at 24mp, APS-C, 6fps burst mode and same autofocus system as the A6000 it promised to have everything I wanted in a small camera. And it really is small. With the very slim 16-50 lense attached, it sits comfortably in the palm of my hand and will fit easily into a jacket pocket. Although there's no viewfinder, the screen will tilt 180 degrees for selfies or vlogging and the brightness can be boosted to cope with bright sunny days. There's also a limited touchscreen facility which allows for selection of focus points in some modes. Although a welcome addition I'm at a loss to explain why they made the range of control options accessible via touch screen so limited. Which brings me onto the control system. The menu system is accessed via the dial on the rear, there's now physical dial to switch between modes or alter iso, shutter speed or focal length directly. So if you're coming from a camera which had this available this may frustrate. Given the camera is really aimed at those taking their first steps into mirrorless interchangeable lense cameras this may not be a major negative. The lack of physical buttons on the camera also limits the options for customisation. Despite these limitations the menu system will be familiar to anyone used to Sony's and I found it really easy to navigate. The usual range of manual options are there as well as a couple of auto options, large number of scene modes and three different movie shooting options. The last of these, the XVACS codec, requires an ultra fast class 10 SD card with at least 64gb capacity to access but once you have it gives the option to shoots in lovely slow movie effect video. The iso range is huge, up to 25600, and I found it produced really lovely images in low light at 3200 with very little noise. The autofocus is very very quick, capturing my less than cooperative cat with ease even when the light wasn't ideal and, with the ability follow a subject just by tapping it, the 179 focus points did a great job of rendering clear sharp images even in continuous shooting mode. Features like focus peaking will also be a huge help if shooting with manual lenses. The kit lense supplied gets a lot of grief from some quarters. Sure a fast prime or £1000 quid plus option will really get the best out of the camera and its sensor but as an every day lense the 16-50 is small, flexible and produces really nice images. The mount range is ever expanding and more third party suppliers are entering the market so there should be lenses available to suit whatever style of shooting you prefer. There's also some great adapters out there should you already have glass from different systems. The body of the camera isn't metal, nor is it weather sealed but it does have some nice weight and the small grip might prove an issue for those with bigger hands but I found it comfortable to use. The battery isn't big and will only last around 400 shots, but the spares aren't expensive and might be a useful option for those that like to have a back up on a long day. There's no hotshoe for external mic or flash but I found the pop up flash really decent and the ability to tilt it backwards was really useful for controlling some of the harsher effects. Would be nice to have a line in for a mic but again at this price point it's quibbling. In short the A5100 is a gem at this price point. It has the sensor and autofocus system of the much pricier A6000, a huge range of control options in the menu, great auto options that work well when you just want to point and shoot and an every expanding line up of emount lenses available. It's a terrific camera for those who want to progress their photography but don't want to be limited by the bulk of a dslr. It's an easy recommendation.

The LCD screen on my NEX-5N broke down very badly after just 17 months but Sony Customer Care luckily replaced it with the newer NEX-5T which also ran very nicely for 17 months until the LCD screen once again gave up the ghost. Unfortunately this time I encountered the Sony Don't Care Department and had to pay £117 for a replacement screen which is a pretty expensive way to run a Camera so I immediately sold it and sucker that I am, purchased the a5100. I have to say that the a5100 is a really nice camera and a great improvement on my previous NEX's in every way. The handling feels more weighty and solid and I much prefer the new Menu with its common sense layout and easy access using just the wheel and centre button instead of the fussy touch screen on the other models. The built-in Flash is a boon and gives excellent lighting despite its diminutive size and the new Wi-Fi feature is brilliant and already being used via my iPhone on a regular basis, keeping one photo on the Camera and automatically sending a copy to my iPhone which is neat. I reluctantly purchased the Sony screen protector PCK-LM17 from Amazon at £14 plus £3.99 p&p which is easily fitted and barely noticeable and hopefully this will make the camera last longer than the others but in truth I should never have had to do this if Sony quality was up to the job because I have a very old Nikon Coolpix which I use as my knockabout camera and the rear screen is still immaculate. The screens on my iPhone, iPad and TomTom Sat-Nav also receive quite heavy use under daily life and they too all remain flawless so Sony really need to get their act together regarding quality, unless of course they are making huge profits selling screen protectors. But if the screen fails me for a third time it will be goodbye to Sony forever. Getting back to the a5100 the battery charging point is miniscule and feels fragile so I hope it stands up to the wear and tear because I don't want to purchase the now separate charger which was included with my original NEX-5N, again less value for the Customer and greater profit to Sony which is all a bit too sly in my eyes, but other than those niggling issues I can heartily recommend the a5100 because it still offers first rate features and performance at what is now only a "reasonably" competitive price for both the keen photographer and the Family snapper. Note: this Review was posted on Sony's official website but they immediately removed it !!

There are so many reviews on this camera I thought rather than simply add to these, I would try to offer an opinion on some of the lenses and accessories I’ve used over the past 14 months since buying it. I think this is a brilliant camera but I must confess that I was initially a little disappointed, and this turned out to be due to the 16-50 kit lens. On a positive note the kit lens helps to keep the camera/lens combination small, it looks right on the camera, offers a reasonable range and under the right conditions, it can take a decent image but, it doesn’t really do the camera justice. My first lens purchase was the Sigma 30mm, in my opinion this is an excellent lens and is probably the one that spends most time on my camera. Physically it isn’t much larger than the kit lens so it is still quite a compact package. My next lens was the Sigma 19mm, another excellent lens. I’ve shown people quite heavily cropped photos taken with this lens and they genuinely haven’t been able to tell. This lens is about 1cm longer than the Sigma 30mm and therefore, not quite so compact, but it’s still not a large combination. Both of these Sigma lenses are available for around £120, a bargain in my opinion and a must buy for anyone owning this camera. I then bought the Sony SEL50 f/1.8, please read the reviews for this lens here on Amazon. Physically it’s slightly larger again than the Sigma 19mm but another excellent lens and highly recommended. I’ve recently taken the plunge and bought the Sony 18-105. Again, please read the reviews for this lens here on Amazon. This is by far the most expensive lens I’ve purchased but it met my requirements perfectly, it’s got the range I wanted, it can provide excellent IQ and therefore, I’m very happy with it. However, of the four lenses I’ve mentioned here this is the most difficult for me to recommend, and this is largely due to the cost. I guess you simply need to ask yourself if you really need/want the range this lens provides? I was quite lucky and managed to buy a Patona Battery Charger and Battery from GmbH through Amazon around the same time I bought the camera (it was £21 at the time), it doesn’t seem to be available on Amazon anymore but can still be bought from GmbH on Ebay. It’s hard to recommend a spurious battery but, I can say that in my experience the Patona lasts just as long as the original Sony, holds its charge just as well, displays remaining charge quite accurately and overall, I’ve been so pleased with the performance of the battery that I’ve recently bought another (from GmbH on Ebay), it was about £12. Other purchases worth considering... (and available here on Amazon):- Joby DSLR Wrist Strap – good quality and great for when you don’t want to use a neck strap. It’s about £13 Black Camera Case Bag for Sony NEX by BW&H – it’s a small case and suits the A5100 perfectly (I’ve actually posted a review on this bag). It’s about £9 If you need a slightly larger Camera Case, the Sony LCS-U11 at £12.50 is worth a look.. In respect to the camera bags I didn’t see the point in buying a compact camera and then lugging around a huge case.. however, I’ve sort of contradicted that by buying the Sony 18-105 lens (it looks quite huge on the A5100) but the combination will still ‘just’ fit in the Sony LCS-U11.... just.!! I’ve seen a few negative comments about the menu navigation and lack of quick access buttons/dials but personally, I like the clean look. I’ve removed the ‘tile’ view when you open the menu and I’ve programmed the available buttons to do what I want. Over time I’ve got to know where the most often needed options are and this, combined with removing the tile view, means that I can generally navigate to what I need quite quickly. I tend to only use the PASM modes but on the odd occasion that I’ve tried it, ‘Intelligent Auto’ seems to do a decent job in most situations too. I do not feel the same about ‘Superior Auto’, it’s just my personal opinion but, on the rare occasions I’ve tried it I’ve never been happy with the results.... I should stress that I am not a professional photographer, I’m just an enthusiastic amateur who like a nice photo.! And I never shoot RAW, only JPEG. These are just my thoughts and opinions but I hope these comments offer some help....

Awesome camera for my first semi-pro camera! i took this on holiday and thought i would up my game a bit. Whilst everyone i saw was bulking around massive DSLRs i had this pocket rocket A5100 around my neck with a spare sigma lens in my pocket - which was by no means cumbersome or heavy. Now i won't bore people with the usual comparisons as they're on youtube... you buy something like this if you are on the go and want something really mobile. A DSLR is your pro piece but you wouldn't want it on your hols while spending time with the family or your other half - people do, i know but they are not comfy to carry and walk long distances with. If you want something more than a point and shoot...this is it! Basic Pros - Battery life (a full days use while climbing, going whale watching, sight seeing etc.) roughly i got 16 hours on and off use. - The interchangeable lens on such a tiny light body - The grip is great - nice texture too - selfie screen really does help to take great shots of you and your other half - The aperture/shutter/ISO priority settings are really easy to use - Full auto is as good as they say it is on all the reviews! - darker indoor or night photos look great even with the kit lens - video capture is really good for this range of camera, i really wasn't expecting this. I mean it is proper good! :) Basic cons - the lens pops out ready to shoot (on the kit lens) when you go to view your photos and i cannot figure out how to stop that from happening ( a niggle of mine!) - It doesn't come with a battery charger you have to charge the battery through the camera (which takes 8 hours!) a separate 3rd party charger sorts this out though and it can charge the batteries in 2 hours - There is no dial to adjust the settings quickly, you have to use the screen, not good if your're trying to get a photo of an animal that is about to run away! Update your firmware if you want to sync to iphones by the way... I wish i did this before i left the country. 5 stars as my pros outweigh the negatives massively

Exactly what I wanted - Got this on a Black Friday deal (£299 delivered) so it was substantially cheaper than the RRP and will hopefully hold its value for quite some time. Getting it well before Christmas enabbled me to use it for several events so that I was well acquainted with the controls before the Christmas and New Year festivities. The speed of focus and tracking of moving subjects is great when photographing my 5 year old or the local swing dancing group - it's possible to take decent images indoors without the flash. The video quality is also excellent with lots of different options although no option to use an external mic. The shutter noise is quite loud but you get used to it and it does make a satisfying 'clunk'! Having an interchangeable lens and dSLR sized sensor really makes a difference to the image quality (I've upgraded from a bridge camera). Very crisp images and it's possible to get some really nice depth of field and bokeh effects. I will have to add a zoom lens to my wishlist, but the stock lens is pretty good (I miss the 18x zoom from my bridge camera, but everything else is better in the A5100!)

One of the best and smallest camera's I have used for Its price range. Its perfect for nearly all shooting conditions. and if you are someone that does not care to much about dealing with flashes then this is even better for you, as it is for me, Its lovely to hold and looks like an old flim camera which is a nice touch. the flash is great and the tilt on it works a treat, I never get harsh shots, I would say you would need to get a better lens as the one that comes with it is slow and a little on the soft side. but great mostly, its a nice get it dirty lens and don't care to much if it breaks, which is why I use it for sports. 16mm f3.5 it does the job. Pro Small and light Easy to hold fast shooting speed a nice range of lenses that can be mounted on 700-900 shoots between charges Supports 200gb+ SD cards HDMI support is great for moon shoots Easy menu layout, fast and effective gets the job done A good touch screen for changing focus area Cons Small battery Needs updating out of box Comes with poor lens (can buy a better one) Poor screen tilt only one way Camera strap is small (that can be changed) Disclaimer Photos have been developed in Photoshop from raw files (So they might not be what you personally could get from the camera unless you have understanding of raw and postproduction)

I was searching for a pocketable replacement to my old NEX 3N and as a second backup camera for my Canon 5D Mark 2. I had almost pulled the trigger on one of the RX 100 series o A6000. But when I came along the lightning deal for just £299 for this A5100, I immediately purchased it. Couldn't be more happy. What a marvel this little camera is. Amazing 24 megapixel APS-C sensor with 179 PDAF points, 6 fps burst, XAVCS video mode with dual recording capability (high and mpeg4), tillable 180 degree LCD screen, touchscreen capture, wifi, apps available, smartphone remote control operation, small and light. This is NOT a cheaper version of the A6000 in specs. It's another version with the same identical 24 megapixel APS-C sensor. These two cameras really deserve better glass than the OK 16-50 kit lens. If you are planning on never changing lenses and keeping only the kit lens attached, then there is no point buying a MILC. Go for a RX 100 series camera, much more pocketable camera which will provide lots of high quality images. With Sony's A5100/A6000 gone are the days of bulky entry level APS-C DSLRs. High end full frames are a different beast. If you desire a EVF, more physical controls and even faster (11 fps) burst then go for the A6000. If you prefer a tiltable 180 degree LCD, don't care about EVF and want to shoot videos in the higher quality AVCS format, then the A5100 is for you. I highly recommend the A5100. Fabulous little gem!! Thanks Amazon for the excellent price on lightning deal and top notch service!

Me compré esta cámara tras consultar y comparar entre muchas del mismo rango de precio y características.Tambien seguí los consejos de un fotógrafo profesional que me ayudó a decidirme.Estoy convencida de que ha sido un acierto. No sé mucho de fotografía pero estoy iniciandome y la Sony A5100 tiene unas prestaciones increibles y una calidad de imagen perfecta. He podido realizar fotos durante mis viajes y son asombrosas.Captura muy bien los colores y el enfoque y desenfoque del fondo para realizar retratos.He leido algunos comentarios de que con claridad no se aprecia bien la pantalla...pero amí eso no me ha sucedido. He flipado con la rapidez que tiene para pasar al instante las fotos al móvil,además del control remoto.Estas no pierden calidad al pasarlas y con un buen editor quedan increibles. No pesa nada,es muy pequeña y muy fácil de manejar.Además, tiene muchas opciones de toma de fotos,que aún estoy aprendiendo a utilizar. Comparto las primeras fotos realizadas.Tengan en cuenta que están en modo automático y que aún no he podido practicar mucho con la cámara. Como siempre con Amazon el envío perfecto. Espero que mi opinión les sea de utilitidad.

Oğlum amatör olarak çekimler yapıyor ve çok memnun kaldı.

Excellent pour le d’argent. Une peu technical mais cest excellent et le image est magnifique

Da anni volevo acquistare una macchinetta 'seria', per evitare di fare foto con lo smartphone a occasioni, viaggi, etc. Non essendo un'esperta ho condotto un'indagine 'di mercato' durata diversi mesi... e alla fine mi sono decisa ad acquistare questa Sony a5100. Il pacco conteneva la scatola della macchinetta con dentro: -La macchinetta fotografica Sony a5100 con obiettivo 16-50 già montato contenuta in una sorta di confezione di carta protettiva -il cavo micro-USB -l'alimentatore della batteria -la batteria -il cavo per la corrente con spina italiana/europea -il cavo per la corrente con spina UK -il laccio tracolla Sony -istruzioni, garanzia... Complessivamente: -Arrivata nei tempi -Da principiante vi dico che, tra tutorial online e istruzioni, comincio a capirci qualcosa in più, e le impostazioni AUTO predefinite aiutano molto chi, come me, sta ancora imparando. La macchinetta è l'ideale per chi si avvicina per la prima volta a questo mondo -Fa dei video davvero ottimi (ho letto online che però si surriscalda facilmente e dunque si spegne dopo 20-30 min di video, quindi forse informatevi bene se la acquistate per questo motivo) -Il WiFi è comodissimo per trasmettere senza fili le foto al computer/smartphone tramite apposita app -Il rapporto qualità prezzo è assolutamente fantastico e, nonostante siano usciti nuovi modelli Sony, credo sia comunque un ottimo acquisto Cosa NON mi è piaciuto: -L'assenza del mirino (il buchino dove si guarda quando si fanno le foto - detta per i miei colleghi principianti): in condizioni di luce intensa lo schermo della macchinetta è meno pratico per guardare ciò che si sta scattando (oltre a rendere il tutto meno cool :P) -Il fatto che non vi sia un caricabatterie esterno incluso, mi spiego: c'è un filo che si collega direttamente alla macchinetta (dove dentro c'è la batteria), e ci vogliono parecchie ore per caricarla al 100%. Se si vuole un caricabatterie esterno (più veloce) in modo tale da togliere la batteria e caricarla separatamente, bisogna comprarlo a parte -Il fatto che intorno all'obiettivo si possa manovrare solo lo zoom e non il fuoco (come solitamente accade per altre macchinette, e credo con l'obiettivo 55-210). Complessivamente sono soddisfatta e non vedo l'ora di partire per metterla alla prova sul serio! Consigliatissima per chi cerca una compatta di qualità (occupa poco spazio), che faccia ottimi video e per chi come me non è un esperto!

Ich besitze die Kamera seit gut 2 Wochen. Anfangs wollte ich mir nur einen Eindruck von der Kamera beschaffen, aber jetzt behalte ich sie. Ich bin super-happy mit der Kamera. Der Hauptgrund für die Anschaffung war die Phase-Detection Technologie (nicht face-detection, was für viel Verwirrung in Gesprächen sorgt :-)). Die Möglichkeit ein Subjekt zuverlässig mit dieser spiegellosen Kamera zu tracken ist großartig, und es funktioniert. In erster Linie hat mich dieses Feature für die Aufnahme von Videos interessiert, und ich bin sehr begeistert von den Resultaten. Manuelles Fokussieren für Videoaufnahmen gehört für mich somit der Vergangenheit an. Bei reinen kontrastbasierten Fokussystemen führte bisher eigentlich kein Weg daran vorbei, wenn sich das Subjekt zur Kamera hin oder von der Kamera wegbewegte. Hier meine Plus/Minus Liste: Plus: * Hybrider Fokus überzeugt mich total, bei Fotos und Videos * 6 Bilder pro Sekunde reicht mir völlig, ich bin kein Sportfotograph * Das Display genügt meinen Ansprüchen in jedem Fall, die Helligkeit lässt sich bei starken Sonnenschein auch noch steigern; ich konnte keine störenden Streifen am Display feststellen. * Die Kamerasoftware (Menü) ist schön reaktionsfreudig (responsive), Tastendruck resultiert sofort in entsprechender Aktion (das habe ich bei einer der ersten NEX ganz anders in Erinnerung) * Tolle Größe für die gebotene Technik und Qualität, passt gut in eine Jackentasche (mit dem Standard Objektiv) * Sehr gute Bildqualität, bei Fotos und Videos * Sony kooperiert nun mit Phase One und es gibt eine kostenlose Express Version von Capture One (für Sony) welches die Sony Alpha 5100 unterstützt. Auch Objektivverzerrung des Kit-Objektives kann mit diesem RAW Converter kompensiert werden. Toller Raw-Converter. * Mir reichen die vorhandenen Buttons, obwohl ich immer ein Freund der Direktauswahl des Aufnahmemodus war (PASM). Neutral: * Kamera neigt dazu im Automatik Modus bei schlechtem Licht gleich einmal auf ISO 3200 zu stellen, was dann doch verrauschte Bilder erzeugt. Bei manuellem Eingriff kann man aber sehr wohl mit ISO 400 fotografieren, bei entsprechend längerer Belichtung. * Der Blitz ist okay. Blitzschuh gibt's keinen. Externer Blitz kann aber angesteuert werden soweit ich weiß. * Das Display kann 180° nach oben geklappt werden (für Selfies, wen's freut) aber nicht nach unten. Überkopf Fotographie wird somit nicht erleichtert. * Der Audio-Pegel bei Videoaufzeichnungen kann nicht reguliert werden. Aber bei meinen bisherigen Aufnahmen hat sich das noch nicht als notwendig erwiesen. * Sensorbedingt verliert diese Kamera sofort den Kompaktheitsfaktor, wenn man z.B. ein Teleobjektiv anbringt. Four/Thirds Kameras sind selbst mit Teleobjektiv noch relativ kompakt. * WiFi und NFC habe ich bisher zu wenig ausprobiert, da es für mich kein sonderlich relevantes Feature ist. * Ich erwische mich immer wieder dabei das linke Kameramikrofon mit dem linken Zeigefinger abzudecken, und das Autofokus Hilfslicht halte ich gerne mit dem rechten Zeigefinger zu. Aber die Kamera lässt sich auch anders gut halten, sodass nichts verdeckt wird :) Negativ * Ich fühle mich gezwungen im RAW-Format zu fotografieren, was ich als etwas mühsam empfinde. Ich war mit dem JPG-Output meiner Olympus E-PL2 immer sehr zufrieden. Die Dateigröße der JPG Fotos der Sony ist in den meisten Fällen sogar kleiner als die Fotos der Olympus, obwohl die Sony 24M Pixel hat während die Olympus "nur" 12M Pixel Fotos aufnimmt. Das kann nicht ohne Verlust funktionieren. Wenn ich RAW Dateien nach JPG konvertiere, haben diese teilweise immer noch bis zu 18 MByte, während die JPGs direkt von der Kamera selten mehr als 8MByte groß sind. Auch die Rauschunterdrückung der Kamera finde ich zu viel des Guten. Bei hohen ISO Werten scheint hier "viel hilft viel" die Devise zu sein. Für hohe ISO Werte kann die Noise-Reduction auch auf "low" (wird wohl "niedrig" im Deutschen Menü heißen) gesetzt werden. Aber auch diese Einstellung hat mich (noch) nicht überzeugt. Ich würde mir ein SuperFine Setting für die JPG-Kompression und etwas mehr Kontrolle über die Rauschunterdrückung wünschen. * Im "Play"-Mode (der Modus in dem man seine Aufnahmen auf der Kamera ansehen kann) braucht es fast 2 Sekunden bis der vergrößerte Bildauschnitt geladen ist, wenn man in ein Foto reinzoomt. Das fühlt sich arg lang an. Allerdings geht weiteres Zoomen und Bildauschnitt verschieben dann wieder flott. Offensichtlich überwiegen für mich klar die Vorteile über die Nachteile, von daher kann ich die Kamera auf jeden Fall empfehlen, wenn man auf der Suche nach einer Kamera mit kompakten Abmessungen mit ausgezeichneter Bildqualität ist.
