What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.5 for now.

What customers like about Rollei Compactline Pocket

  • At 103 g it is light enough for a day out.
  • The slim body fits a jacket pocket easily.
  • USB Type-C uses a common cable for charging.
  • An electronic viewfinder gives an eye-level view of the scene.
  • The flash helps in dim rooms.
  • A microSD slot adds storage space.

What customers don't like about Rollei Compactline Pocket

  • The 2.4 in screen is small for checking shots.
  • The 800 mAh battery is small, which limits how long it runs.
  • There is no optical zoom, so you need to move closer to your subject.
  • The 5 MP sensor limits how much you can crop or print.

Verdict

Anyone who wants a small camera for family days out will find the Rollei Compactline Pocket easy to carry. At 103 g and only 24 mm thick, it slips into a jacket pocket. The 1/1.7-inch sensor has 5 MP, which is modest, but video reaches 3840 px, so clips look sharp on a large screen. An electronic viewfinder lets you frame at eye level, and the flash and timelapse mode help in dim rooms and with slow scenes. USB Type-C is a sensible connection for charging. The trade-offs are the 2.4 in screen and the 800 mAh battery, which is small. The lens has a 1 x optical zoom, so you need to move closer to your subject. It suits a buyer who wants a simple camera for days out and does not need a long zoom.
