Sharp photos!
I recently purchased the Rollei Prego 140mm 35mm camera (in place of the Leica Z2X as my 1st option & at that time, out-of-stock) & was very satisfied with the sharp images it took.However, I found the viewfinder a bit too small, sometimes hard to find, & the casing, a bit "cheapy", which makes it really light to carry on the other hand.I guess, you can't have it all.For the sharp pictures the camera took, I can overlook the camera's not-so-important "inferior" features, although for the price you pay for it, you'd at least expect better craftmanship.
Great long zoom point and shoot camera
Very sharp lens, various exposure and flash modes. The shake warning indicator is very usefull, specialy at no-flash mode or long tele (above 90mm). I have tested this camera to take pictures in various lighting condition, outdoor and indoor. All resulting pictures are very sharp. Of course I use a tripod in some conditions. This is a good choice for a long zoom point and shoot camera. Sharp under the right conditions that a point and shoot is made for. Don't dream a miracle picture like professional slr can produce. It still a point and shoot camera. The only weakness of this camera is the rear cover. Although the front cover is made from metal, the rear cover is made from plastic, it look like cheap fragile material.
I'm almost glad it was stolen!
I purchased this Rollei about 18 months ago as a replacement for anOlympus Zoom that I had enjoyed for several years.After many rolls offilm the camera was stolen on a recent vacation, and I was almost glad! The Scheider optics that the Rollei literature brags about did nottranslate into quality pictures.The contrast was low and flat, and theflash exposures were pitiful compared to the lost Olympus. The controls andsettings were confusing and forced me to carry the manual for a long timein order to be sure I would know how to operate the camera and I never didmaster it.I have been a amatuer photographer for 30 years and own 2 NikonFE bodies and an assortment of Nikon lenses. I understand the fundamentalsof photography.The Olympus was purchased for my wife but I found myselfusing it quite a bit. It was much easier to use and the resultingphotographs were better exposed and sharper than the Rollei Prego. One noteto anyone that thinks that a long zoom is essential -- keep in mind that atlong zoom ranges the lense is at it's slowest resulting more often than notin shots that are blurred because the camera cannot be held steady enoughfor the longer exposure.Consider a more moderate length zoom - 70 ormaybe 80mm should be plenty without spending more for the opportunity ofmaking unacceptable photos and consider the speed of the lense through theentire range of the zoom.One more thing -- check out the reviews for theOlympus line of cameras and if you can live without a zoom, consider theYashica T4 Super, too!Goodluck.
