My Review
Sunscreen is an important step in out skincare routine that cannot be skipped. And do you know that sunscreen needs to be touch up throughout the day. But usually almost everyone of us do not touch up our sunscreen as we find it troublesome to do so.
Recently, I tried Anessa Perfect UV Brush-On Powder. This UV powder makes touch up of sunscreen so much easier.

What I like is that there is no liquid residue left on my hand after application. Also, it is easy to touch up with makeup on the face.

But sometime, I find it quite difficult to know if I really did apply the UV powder on the skin as the powder really blends seamlessly on the skin.

It is also still recommended to apply the usual sunscreen for full coverage.

I had been having fun with this camera for the past weeks. Handphone camera is convenient but when come to the fun of taking photo, it just feel different holding a digital camera on hand to snap your photo.
Having fun with the camera.
LUMOS EVOKE Digital Camera have great features that make photos taking fun and affordable. Let me walk you through.
Clear Beautiful Visual
This camera provides 64MP Photo. Photos taken are clear and beautiful.

Night shot.
Tunnel photo.
I have tried the 4K Video at 30fps on this camera. Video visual is clear with real-life colors. There is no focus breathing present except for busy scene.
The sound recorded on my video is a little too soft and unclear. Built-in camera mics are generally intended for casual use, with external mics recommended for professional sound.
Vintage Style
I love the soft vintage style with real-life colors photos captured using this camera. I don't see out of camera sharpening effect as compare to phone camera.
Soft vintage style. Less overly sharpened.
But I notice for the preview photo on the screen during shooting and when doing half shutter press, the color does not reflect the actual photos until I snap it. It will be better if it can reflect the actual photo taken during shooting and focusing. This only happens in specific situations, such as dark conditions with bright lights, and does not affect normal usage.
16 Build-In Filters
This camera contain 16 build-in filters for you to play with.
Normal
Vivid
Japanese Style
Dopamine
Cream
Retro
Warm
Cool
Nostalgic
Black and White
Negative
Gothic
Monochrome - Red
Monochrome - Yellow
Monochrome - Green
Monochrome - Blue
This is the feature I like most from this camera. I am able to shoot different style for the same scene using this16 build-in filters without the need for additional editing.

It is really fun and great to capture different mood and style on the spot.
Besides the 16 build-in filters, there is Beauty Face setting in this camera. But the effect is minimalistic and natural with less overly beautified effect as compare to beautified app you usually used from phone.

16X Zoom
This camera can zoom up to 16X. The quality of the zoomed photo is clear and sharp.
Zoomed photo is clear and sharp.
Even with the anti-shake and focus, the image will still be a little blur if my hand is not steady enough or shake the camera slightly when clicking the shutter button. But come to say, most of the time the photo is clear and sharp. Just need to make sure you double check your photos.
Selfie Friendly
For many years, selfie has become so important for photo taking. But usually we have to trial and error to take selfie photo using digital camera.
LUMOS EVOKE make selfie taking so easy with the flip screen.

I can take selfie more easily by flipping the screen.

The flip screen stays flip only for full flap (180 degree). It will be better if the flip screen can stay at the different degree it is flipped for easy visual of the screen from different angle of photo taking, not just for selfie.

I tried the Auto Photo mode provided in this camera. This mode is great for group photo as well as fun photo.
Having fun with Auto Photo mode.
I mounted the camera on the camera stand, set it to auto snap every 3 second, flip the screen. Then I started to have fun taking myself flying in the air in my photo. With the flip screen, I can see easily when to jump to take the perfect shot I need.

Macro Photo and Time lapse Video
I love the macro photos taken from this camera, clear and beautiful. It is really good for people who love to shoot closeup shots of food and flowers.

Just my own suggestion, the macro icon can be reflected on the shortcut left key so that it is easier to know this is the shortcut key to turn the macro mode on or off. As I only realized it when I accidentally trigger the macro on off via the shortcut key.
I also tried time lapse video mode provided in this camera. I am quite impressed with the quality of the time lapse video taken. Video is clear and motion is smooth.
It is really easy to use too. I set the frame per second and mount the camera to a camera stand and start shooting. Best part is, no post processing needed.
Build-in Flashlight
The build-in flash light on the camera works well for shots with dark lighting or backlighting, when I needed my face to be seen on the photo.

Webcam Function
It got me pretty curious when I see that I can actually use this camera as a webcam in the user manual.
I got it mounted on the small table camera stand. It is easy to use. Just select USB camera when I plug it onto my PC and open the software you using and switch to this camera and it is ready to go.
Work as a Webcam.
The screen image quality is decent.
This is a value add function to the camera.
Easy to Navigate
It is back to good old days digital camera when there is no smart phone yet. This is how I feel from the look of this camera. Just simple buttons and screen.

Bottom of camera.
Side of the camera.
But there are surely things that I need to get use to such as no touch screen, no zoom lever to toggle and turn and no lens ring to turn and adjust.
Setting screen.
It will be great if the on/off button can be of a different button type as the shutter button or not place so close to the shutter button because at many times, I accidentally mistake the on/off button as the shutter button.

Also, people with fat finger like me sometimes will accidentally press other buttons when using the navigation button. But this does not affect the photo taking.

Easy and Reliable battery life
The battery life for the camera is pretty decent. The battery lasted for half a day shoot for me with around 24 videos and 553 photos.
But I really like how easy it is for me to recharge the battery. No more bringing around many spare battery to change. I just plug in my power bank with the USB C cable given and I can continue with my shooting while charging the camera.
I just plug in my power bank and recharge.
And it take so fast to recharge while I am using the camera at the same time. It is around 80% recharged in just 10mins.
Compact, Lightweight and Price Friendly
This camera is so compact that I can just slip it into my pocket. It is also lightweight too. Way lighter than any of my digital camera. I weight it. It is only 186g.

Lightweight.
Small size.
Most importantly, LUMOS offered a very wallet friendly price for this camera. Given all the features you see above, a digital camera of this price is really worth getting to experience it for yourself.
A small personal wallet saving tips. If you already have your own micro-SD card, then get the set with lower memory card and save yourself S$50 for sometime else. 😁
Trusted Brand
Having a trusted brand sets our mind at ease when buying for gadget.
LUMOS is a local trusted brand that received many satisfied 5-star user reviews over 4 years.
I personally think that this camera combine modern with vintage. This is really great for beginners who are learning to use a digital camera, people who wants the feel of taking photo back to good old analog camera days, great for introducing children to photo taking and great for people who just wants to have fun with filters.
Overall, this digital camera is compact and easy to use. It is also convenient to recharge and to transfer photos. With the fun filters and features provided from the camera, all for a so wallet friendly price. It is definitely worth getting one to start having fun with photo taking.
