Digital Camera Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1, Sharp

This slim camera body, a bit flat. Dimensions 5.4 x9, 7x2, 6 cm. Steady when held for the entire body is made of metal. This camera is also light at 138 grams, good to put into your pocket.

At the top we will see the jog dial and shutter button doubles as the edges zoom lever, and switch on / off. Placement shutter button slightly to the first in our opinion less convenient and should be exchanged with the jog dial position. Because when in a hurry to take pictures, we are often wrong pressure. But after using it, we realized that the laying of a little into a position that also makes the camera more balanced when held with two hands, while his right hand pressing the shutter button.

An LCD screen 2.7 "seemed to dominate the back of the Panasonic DMC-ZR1. On the right side panel switches playback screen looks, the E-Zoom, 4-way circle, Display button, and Q. Menu button. This feature is typical of Panasonic compact cameras.

E-Zoom button on the rear panel arouse our curiosity. So we pressed. Well, look at the LCD camera with 12.1 megapixel resolution is a direct object in a state shows very close, showing that the zoom lens moves from wide-angle mode to the telephoto. It's really fun. We pressed it again, and the digital zoom was presented with a maximum magnification of 16x achieve.

What else is new? One of them is optical image stabilizer technology that by Panasonic OIS is called Power. This is different from Mega OIS system previously used. OIS stabilization in Power, by Panasonic, is the second time.

In the widest condition, measuring 25mm camera lens and a long stretched out from a compact camera body. This lens has a maximum aperture f/3.3 (wide) and f/5.9 (telephoto). This camera brings aspherical lens elements 0.3 mm in the world's first. That's why the lens can be more compact than its predecessor. ZR1 Unfortunately this is not mengemaskan AVCHD video recording modes like his brothers. Presented only 720p HD recording format.

Approximately 2.57 seconds after the power switch is shifted to the right, ZR1 is ready. It takes 2 seconds for him to start shooting. Zoom was a bit slow, takes about 3 seconds when pressed.

Although the speed is still need to be increased, image quality is very good overall. Look sharp shots. At telephoto any conditions, maintained a sharp object. Unfortunately, the colors less accurate presented. Especially in blue look less bright. This color except clear blue sky. Noise started looking at ISO 400, with visible grain at ISO 800 and 1600.

Nice feature here is intelligent auto mode that automatically determines Best Scene when we shoot in macro and landscape conditions. Power OIS worked fine, but of course we did not expect to get a picture that does not run away without using a tripod, especially when shooting at night with a slow opening.

What about video quality? Compared to the quality of the image (still image), video still shows noise. Fortunately, the same recorded voice sounded clear, though still sound ditingkahi breeze. Which is also fun, optical zoom to function when we are recording a video.

If you are looking for a compact camera, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1 is worth considering. Good picture quality, its zoom length, and endurance batteries good enough. Which is also fun, Panasonic invested 40Mb internal memory, which can be used as our capacity SDHC cards out while we still want to take pictures. Besides silver, the camera is available in black, red, and blue.

PLUS: Slim and compact; E-Zoom button; 40Mb internal memory; good image quality.

MINUS: Burst speed; not Full HD; placement of the shutter button.
