Test: Rollei Actioncam S-50 Wifi Standard Edition

Konklusion

Rollei kameraet har været et ganske rart bekendtskab selvom jeg skulle have fat i manualen, hvilket i min verden er en dårlig ting. Kameraet er super til hvad det er designet til, altså at bruge det til ting hvor man ikke lige spænder sit DSLR fast. Jeg har selv "kun" brugt det på min motorcykel, men det giver nogle fede optagelser. Generelt synes jeg godt om kameraet og dets opbygning. Kvaliteten er der ikke nogen fingre at sætte på. Jeg synes dog til tider at menusystemet virker lidt underligt. Fx fandt jeg aldrig ud af at komme tilbage til kamera funktionen når jeg havde været inde og se mine optagelser. Men en hurtig genstart og man var tilbage. Til gengivelse af ens mesterværker er det rigtig rart at have skærmen, men in action er den ikke meget værd, efter min mening.

Bundle / Tilbehør – 4
Der er ikke mange fingre at sætte på tilbehøret. Fedt med muligheden for at vælge den farve man har lyst til til kameraet, ret ubrugeligt, men en sjov lille feature. Med hensyn til monterings tilbehør er der hvad de fleste skal bruge for at komme i gang, jeg kunne dog personligt godt have brugt noget der kunne holde om et rør som et styr eller lignende. Det der trækker mest ned her er at man skal ud og investerer i et hukommelseskort for at komme i gang.

Design / Layout – 3
Designet er fint, undervands huset til kameraet er lidt klodset, men det kan man jo nok ikke komme uden om. Det undre mig dog at man ikke kan aktivere alle 5 knapper når huset er monteret. Jeg synes at det er en underlig mekanisme de har valgt at bruge til at komme ind til batteriet. Her skal man tage hele fonten af, jeg er bange for at klik mekanismen der holder den bliver for slap med tiden. 

Ydelse – 3
Video delen er helt fin på højde med GoPro i hvert fald i 1080p, men hvis du rigtig vil lege tror jeg man kommer til at savne nogle flere fps, eller evt. noget højere opløsning. 

Pris – 4
Til bare 1500kr er det mere end 2000kr billigere end GoPro's konkurrent, så kan du leve uden 4k optagelse og med et lidt dårligere billede er det bestemt et kig værd. For at vi skulle have været helt oppe at ringe skulle kameraet have leveret bedre billeder.

UK summary

The Rollei camera has been a nice experience even though I needed the manual at once, which in my world is a bad thing. The camera is super at what it is made for, i.e. to use it where you do not just strap on your DLSR. I myself have only been using the camera on my motorbike, but it has given me some nice and different recordings. In general I think that the camera is good and so is the build quality. I think that the menu system is a bit strange at times. I.e. I never found out how to get back to the camera function after I had been looking at by recordings. But a quick restart and I was back. For viewing ones masterpieces the screen is awesome, but in action it is rather useless in my opinion. 

Bundle/Accessories - 4
There are not many fingers to point at the bundle. It is nice with the option to choose between the different colors for the camera, pretty useless but a fun feature. Regarding the mounts, the camera comes with what the most people needs to get started, but personally I would have loved a mount for pipes like handlebars, etc. The thing that is letting the bundle down the most is the lag of a memory card.

Design/Layout - 3
The design is nice, the underwater house for the camera is a bit bulky though. It makes me wonder that one not can use all 5 buttons when the house is mounted. I think that the mechanism covering the battery is a strange choice. The fact that one have to take off the whole front to get to the battery, makes me nervous that it will wore out the click locks.

Performance - 3
The video part of the camera is nice and just as good as the GoPro at least in 1080p, but if you want to play around, I think that you will miss some more fps, or some 4k resolution.

Price - 4
With a price tag of just around DKK1500 this camera is almost DKK2000 cheaper than the competitor from GoPro. But for that price you have to live without 4k resolution and a bit worse image. To increase the score the camera should have delivered better images.
