Calculated from the sensor's pixel pitch and the lens focal length, for clear air.

ATN quotes 490 m, 1.2× our figure, because makers usually measure against a person’s full height rather than their width. Why the numbers differ

  • Heavy at 19.8 oz, 23rd-heaviest of the 112 handhelds here

  • Does not record video
  • Entry-level 320×240 sensor, with less detail than a 640
