- Pros mentioned:Size
Mostly OK--A Moderate Jump from Smartphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used the ZV-1F before returning it. It has a lovely small size and no extending barrel, which keeps it very tough and reassuringly solid under rugged use. I wish the lens had a built in cap because it's annoying to have to take the cap off whenever I want to use it, but I could just slap a UV filter over the front element and use it like that. In any case, the images were fine, but nothing to write home about. The sensor captures images that really suffer in low light. Since it doesn't take raw photos, there's very little I can do in Capture One to fix poor lighting conditions. The screen on the back makes it difficult to monitor shooting because it has very low resolution (921K dots). Video says it's 4K, but I never got 4K videos that matched the detail and quality of my better cameras even in good lighting conditions. I think the lens needs some refining, despite the lovely Zeiss text on the front. The contrast detection autofocus was fine, but wasn't very confidence inspiring. There were a lot of pulsations during video. The rolling shutter was also disappointing for such a small sensor. What is nice is that it offers color science that is better than what smartphones currently offer. Overall, I love the idea of a fixed 20mm compact camera, but I wish it had a few more premium features like a slide-in viewfinder, a slightly sharper lens with less vignetting, a more competent autofocus system, a couple more controls, an automatically retracting lens cap, and actually nice sounding built-in microphones. Fixed lens compact cameras don't have to be bargain basement cameras. For now, I'll stick to my Powershot G1 X Mark III.

Dont wasted your time
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tested the camera and it seems like an average camera; the only advantage is that it records 4k 30fps and is compact. It's not good for photos, it doesn't have RAW format and only records in 8 bits.

Great quality in exchange for battery life
