Recently, camera manufacturers have criminally neglected entry-level cameras. As a result, hardly any new models have come onto the market that are available from specialist retailers for less than 1000 euros - let alone for less than 500 euros.

- Very fast autofocus 4 with precise subject recognition
- High image quality
- Somewhat small viewfinder
