At this time of the year, the Junipers will be there again, and not only entomologists want to photograph the beast with their compact camera – in action and, of course, sharp. But only six of the ten current test candidates convince with a fast autofocus. Besides the noise at higher sensitivities, a slow autofocus is still one of the biggest problems of many compact digital cameras.
The comparison Nikon P5000 (10 Megapixel) against Sony W90 (8 Megapixels) shows that the trend to ever higher resolution CCDs in compact cameras makes no sense. With ISO 400, the 8-megapixel model is in the resolution measurement just before the 10-megapixel model. Other innovations are all the more useful: six of the ten cameras offer an optical image stabilizer and two a true 28 mm wide angle focal length. Test winner is the elegant, black Leica C-Lux 2 with good image quality, fast autofocus and comprehensive equipment including image stabilizer and wide angle zoom. Only the price of 500 euros is a bit too high. The two Sony cameras convince with the shortest release delays, good picture quality and also good equipment including image stabilizer. The W90 for 300 euros is the advantage and a buy-tip price / performance. Although the T100 design looks better, the purchase price (still) 450 euros. A purchase tip wide angle goes to the Ricoh R6 with its unrivaled 28-200 mm zoom plus image stabilizer for very fair 300 euros. The R6 with a triggering delay of 0.39 seconds is also fast enough for a snapshot. With these cameras, the junkies can come.
