This camera was included in Which?’s test. Which? publishes its results for members only, so we don’t report a verdict.
-
Digital Camera World review (digitalcameraworld.com)
Called it a reliable, no-frills camera ideal for beginners with good battery efficiency, but felt fine detail and bright highlights were weak points.
-
NHBS 'In the Field' (UK retailer blog) (blog.nhbs.com) Retailer review
Field-tested it with good day and night results and long battery life, though picture quality fell a little short of the Recon Force HP5 and Bushnell Core DS-4K.
Summaries are ours; follow the links for each reviewer’s full verdict. Reviews marked “Retailer review” come from shops that sell the camera rather than independent publications. Where Which? is listed, we only note that the camera was in its test — its verdicts are for members.
