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 Powerflex Compact

  • Up to 60 min of recording means fewer stops at long events.
  • 79 focus points with phase-detection autofocus help it find a subject quickly.
  • Slow-motion video lets you slow down fast movement.
  • The 2.8 in touchscreen makes menus quick to use.
  • USB Type-C is a handy modern connection.
  • An electronic viewfinder gives you a view when the screen is hard to see in bright light.

What customers don't like about Rollei Powerflex Compact

  • The 800 mAh battery is small for a camera with long recording times.
  • It is 100 mm thick, so it does not slip into a pocket.
  • No weather sealing and a 0 m waterproof rating mean rain and dust are a risk.
  • There is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, so photos cannot go to a phone wirelessly.
  • There is no HDMI output, so it cannot feed a large TV directly.

Verdict

Recording for up to 60 min at a time is the main pull of the Rollei Powerflex Compact. The 16 MP sensor and 79 focus points with phase-detection autofocus help it lock onto a subject quickly, and the 5120 px video is sharp on a large screen. Slow-motion video and a 2.8 in touchscreen make it simple to use. At 157 g it is light, but it is 100 mm thick, so it does not slip into a pocket. The trade-offs are the 800 mAh battery, which is small, and the lack of weather sealing, so rain or dust is a risk. It has no Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth, and no HDMI output. It suits a buyer who wants long recordings and a touchscreen, and who keeps it out of the rain.
