Genius G-Shot P6533 Review - Conclusions (Page 5 of 5 )
We've come to the end of this review. And as you already know, this is when we draw the conclusions and rate the Genius G-Shot P6533 digital camera on a scale from 1 to 10. Hopefully, the results won’t surprise you at all.
It’s pretty obvious that when Genius designed this digital camera, they had the average user in mind. This camera literally works on the basis of “point-and-shoot,” mostly because the user isn’t required to configure anything. If s/he doesn’t want to set up particular shoot settings manually with the Program option, then the camera does everything itself. You just pick the appropriate theme and push the shutter!
Considering its price and level of performance I’m handing out a combined 8 out of 10. However this rating is very “pumped up," because I'm approaching this review from a non-professional point of view. Notwithstanding, here’s the rule of thumb: if you are a professional, then you’re already used to purchasing cameras for hundreds of dollars and you simply cannot expect that kind of performance from a budget pocket camera.
I cut off those two points mostly because of the relatively slow shot-to-shot speed, as well as its average, yet sufficient image quality. Fortunately, it offers decent and acceptable performance. In low-light conditions, due to the high ISO setting (ISO 400), the image tends to end up a bit noisy, but that’s to be expected. Action shots (i.e. sports) might lose some detail, however, these are very minor flaws and some people won’t even notice. Blurriness isn’t excluded either, but it’s pretty resistant to vibrations.
Furthermore, some of the camera’s outstanding advantages are battery efficiency, large TFT LCD display size, portability (pocket size, slim design), user-friendliness, including the menu, design, and features altogether. This is also enhanced by the ability to serve as a webcam and ultimately a video-/clip-recorder, too.
All in all, I think that this camera ranks itself quite well among the top deals in the $100 price range. It’s a good performer that does what the average user needs from a pocket camera and more. If you aren’t satisfied with medium performance, then be prepared to shell out at least $200 for a better point-and-shoot camera, such as the Canon SD1000 (US$180), which is quite a high-end pocket camera.
Simply put, if you don’t have sky-high expectancies, such as always wanting “razor-sharp perfect” shots and/or “ultra-fast” shoot-to-shoot speeds, and you are generally satisfied with mediocre performance but great battery efficiency, and you like the slimness and elegance of design, then the Genius G-Shot P6533 is for you.
