Rank 6 out of 6Computer BildKameratest - 6 Systemkameras im VergleichReleaseJanuary 2019
  • Positivesehr kompaktes Zoom
  • PositiveHohe Bildqualität
  • NegativeKein Sucher
  • Negativemanuelle Bedienung umständlich

Bei den Kompaktkameras holt die Sony Cybershot RX100 VI den Testsieg - mit Top-Bildqualität und -Ausstattung in einem Minigehäuse. aber eben auch mit einem Preisschild von 1300 Euro. Nur 370 Euro kostet der ebenso kompakte Preis-Leistungs-Sieger: Die Panasonic Lumix TZ91 ist mit noch mehr Zoom die ideale Reisekamera, schwächelt aber bei der Bildqualität, wenn`s dunkler wird...

Rank 4 out of 4SFTTEST: Kameras für jedermannReleaseSeptember 2018
  • PositiveKompaktes Gehäuse mit ansprechender Verarbeitung
  • PositiveBildstabilisator ist im Gehäuse integriert
  • NegativeZu wenige Bilder im Serienbildmodus
  • NegativeKein elektronischer Sucher

Gerade auf Reisen können die vier getesteten Systemkameras ihre Vorzüge ausspielen. Die Olympus PEN E-PL9 ist hierbei perfekt für das Posten von Bildern gerüstet und findet auch in der Jackentasche genügend Platz. Nicht ganz so kompakt ist die Fujifilm X-T20, die dafür mit vielen Funktionen der X-T2 aufwarten kann und sich nach den jeweiligen Bedürfnissen schnell individualisieren lässt...
