Fujifilm FinePix XP30

Zitat: Pro: + Extremely durable build quality Contra: - Extreme softness along image borders Performance - How well does it take pictures? The image quality of the Fuji Finepix XP30 is certainly weak. The tiny 14 megapixels sensor has trouble delivering noise-free results even at the base ISO sensitivity of 100. The next ISO of 200 is visibly worse but given the resolution still gives an acceptable mid-size print. Anything beyond that shows visible noise except for postcard-size prints. This means that the XP30 can produce output which is usable on the web and for 4"x6" prints but not much more. While the AWB system adapts well to outdoor lighting, it struggles under artificial light. There are six presets which can help but rarely produce neutral results with indoor lighting. Since there is no custom white-balance option, it is therefore difficult to obtain realistic colors from the XP30. Metering is good considering the limited dynamic range of a sensor with such small pixels. There is occasional over-exposure and under-exposure but less often than usual. The metering range is very limited though and it often fails to produce an acceptable exposure in moderately low light. It takes one of the night scene modes to get shutter-speeds longer than ¼s but then ISO and EC get locked. The zoom speed is average. When the autofocus system manages to lock, it does so accurately. There is rarely a focus error but in relatively low-light the camera often gives up. Focusing is rather slow, taking between 1s and 2s for most scenes. There is a short but noticeable shutter-lag after pre-focusing. Shot-to-shot speeds exceed 3 seconds which is slower than even most ultra-compacts. The XP30 takes 2s to power on and less than 1s to shutdown. This is quite reasonable. Entering and existing Playback mode is sufficiently fast too. Panning and zooming on the other hand are excruciatingly slow. Battery life from the tiny battery used is below average. Using the GPS puts a big toll on the battery as well. It can be set to keep searching for its position when the camera is off. Needless to say, this is the fastest way to run down the battery without taking any photos.

Zitat: Considering the great price, top feature set including onboard GPS and excellent build quality, you can forgive the sometimes lacklustre image quality

Zitat: Was uns gefällt: + einfache Bedienung + wasserdicht + stoßfest Was uns nicht gefällt: - schlechte Bildqualität bei wenig Licht - langsam Wer nach einer Kompaktkamera sucht, die viele Strapazen übersteht, sollte sich die Fujifilm FinePix XP30 definitiv näher angucken. Allerdings ist die Digicam alles andere als schnell, und die Bildqualität lässt bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen stark nach. Wer eine Outdoor-Knipse als "Erst-Digitalkamera" sucht, sollte sich allerdings besser woanders umsehen.

Zitat: Pro: + resistant au choc + à la poussière + l´humidité design + simplicité d´usage Contra: - bruit au faible sensibilité - colorimétrie - manque de sensibilité des boutons
