Olympus SH-25MR

Zitat: Recommended Pros: + Good zoom range + Fast high-speed shooting + Focus point can be set via the touch screen + GPS & Electronic Compass + Lengthy battery life + Excellent colour reproduction Cons: - Grips aren´t made of rubber - Images are soft in corners and edges - Portraits aren´t the best The SH-25MR has an impressive set of features, which make it an ideal choice if you are looking for a travel camera, with its decent zoom range and GPS capabilities. If you like taking portrait shots, you may be disappointed as we struggled to take any with good skin tones and the SH-25MR´s images are fairly soft in the corners. But thanks to its colour reproduction, lengthy battery life and fast high-speed shooting, we are happy to recommend the SH-25MR.

Zitat: Excels at video, less so at photos, but with GPS and simultaneous photo and video capture, this is a great camera at an attractive price

Zitat: Pro: + Shutter response times + GPS + Full High Definition Movies + Stereo Sound + Multi Framing + USB charging Contra: - No manual controls The Olympus SH-25MR has a lot going for it. It is cheaper than most other cameras in this category. There are compromises that have been made to keep the price down, but it may be a case that some of the compromises are unimportant to you. To start with there are no manual exposure controls. Although you lose the ability to take full control over the way your photos look, the upside is that if you are looking for straightforward operation then you are not paying for features you will never use. Another compromise is the amount of zoom available. With this camera the amount of zoom does not match up to the more highly priced models. For example some similar sized digital cameras give you 20x zoom as opposed to the 12.5x zoom available here. Picture quality is good enough for making snapshot sized prints and the SH-25MR performs perfectly well in most situations, but if you are looking for ultimate picture quality you will need to be prepared to pay more. The big plus points are that you get features such as GPS, and High Definition Movies at a lower price.
