- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2014Compact and good quality pictures. You will need to figure out which mode works best for you. Great video.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2014I have a bad neck and can't handle a big camera with heavy lenses even though I really have gotten fed up with compact cameras that use the same tiny sized light sensor chip that just doesn't have the sharpness. Whether they have 20 megapixels or 10, they all are limited by the size of the chip. The traditional big name companies use a slightly bigger sensor but still use heavy lenses based on 35mm film sized sensors which weigh approx. 4 times what the lenses for this camera do. The micro four thirds standard makes for a great compromise. Good enough for a wedding photographer but definitely not for a billboard. I also have small hands so a small camera with a touchscreen is quite usable for me. If you have big hands you may want a different model though the micro four thirds format would still be good.
The package comes with 2 zoom lenses and a flash. They are the 35mm equivalent of a 28mm - 84mm which is great for landscapes, group photos and portraits, and the second lens is the equivalent of 80mm - 300mm which is a significant telephoto range. This lens alone in the size that you would need for a 35mm sensor size would weigh more than my entire package and would cost more than the package.
One of the standard complaints these days is the lack of a viewfinder. Well I have since bought an add-on viewfinder, which while somewhat pricey is not extreme and quite light. Unfortunately you can't use the viewfinder and the flash at the same time. But when you need the flash is when the built-in screen is most usable.
Something I have discovered is that while reviewers say that the camera does not have built-in hdr. That is incorrect. It does have it but it is not automatic. You set the camera to take 3 or more bracketed pictures (which it does so quickly that movement is practically non-existent) and then as part of the picture review process you can select pictures to combine and you can select how heavily weighted towards each image the resultant new image will be. Quick and can be better than photoshop.
One thing I do wish it had is built-in wifi. While it will use a wifi enabled sd memory card, that does not enable remote control of the camera, just easy transfer to a smartphone, laptop or wifi enabled desktop to then post on facebook or youtube.
Is this camera perfect? Of course not. But it meets my needs really well without being exorbitant. Now I have to save up for some high end lenses.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2014I took this camera to backpack across Europe. We went to Germany, Austria and Italy...Was light weight to carry in small crossbody or around my neck. Took awesome pictures. I have no complaints about this camera. It was so simple to use too.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2014Purchased this for my wife for her birthday and so far she is quite happy with it. Pictures appear to be quite good and the two lenses provide flexibility for close ups and longer distance zooming. For her first camera beyond a point-and-shoot, this seems to meet her needs quite nicely.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2015The camera is wonderful, a mirrorless setup is a great compromise for someone who is not a professional photographer.
I find the zoom lens to be a great addition to the package.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2014Great camera, and wonderful to travel with. Clear pictures. I mostly use the larger lens.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2014Great camera!! I am still learning all the features! It is like a "real" camera that is digitally ready and easily shares to Facebook!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2014Love it. Takes great pix and light and compact to carry. Most pix as good as professional photographer took at recent wedding.
