What do I think?
The Chison P6 has made its way into the market with a lot of promises, and while it does have some notable features, there are areas where it falls short.
One of the most immediately noticeable attributes of the P6 is its lightweight design. While this might be viewed as a benefit by some users who prioritize portability, the device feels a bit too light, bordering on flimsy. The build quality raises concerns about the longevity and durability of the unit, especially for professionals who might be using it frequently and in varied environments. Furthermore, during my time with the P6, I experienced inconsistent connections. The connectivity seemed glitchy, which is not something you want to deal with when relying on a device for clear, accurate readings.
This issue has the potential to compromise the user experience, and it's something that Chison should definitely look into. Overall, while the Chison P6 has its merits and its image quality is decent for comparable handheld machines, its lightweight construction and connection inconsistencies might make some potential buyers think twice.
Summary
In summary, if durability and stable connectivity are high on your list of requirements, it might be worth exploring other options in the market.
