wattsy Posted September 28, 2018 Share #3 Posted September 28, 2018 What's inadequate? I'm sure this will be an excellent digital camera – Zeiss are not a company that will make or put its name on anything substandard – but it's not for me. If I must use a digital I'd take a digital M with 35 Summicron over anything with an EVF. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted September 28, 2018 Share #4 Posted September 28, 2018 Not to my taste, too boxy, but I like the clean design and the quality should be exceptional. Size? I cannot tell without handling one, but this could well be a winner and serious competition for the Q and RX1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramarren Posted September 28, 2018 Share #6 Posted September 28, 2018 I like the simplicity of the design. It reminds me a lot of my Light L16 in some ways, minus the multi-camera capabilities and plus an EVF. If a fixed lens like the Q, I like the use of a 35mm focal length over a 28mm focal length. Although, in truth, I'd rather have a 45-50mm lens, and accessory matched optical wide/portrait lens adapters. I'm mostly done with fixed lens cameras (the L16 being the exception, and it has multiple focal lengths to work with), but I could enjoy this much the way I often go out with the M-D and only the 'Lux 35mm lens. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted September 28, 2018 Share #7 Posted September 28, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Limited 6400 ISO and limited 1/1000 highest shutter speed? Within its limitations a fine camera but maybe not so good for low light imaging. dunk 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archiver Posted September 28, 2018 Share #8 Posted September 28, 2018 This looks like the bomb. It's the same weight as a M9 with a 35mm Summarit, which makes it reasonable for walkaround photography. Direct manual control of shutter speed, ISO and aperture is surprisingly innovative, seen only in a few cameras like the M10 and a few Fuji X cameras. If it's around the same price as a Q, and the battery doesn't die unreasonably fast, I'll give serious thought to getting one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmahto Posted September 28, 2018 Share #13 Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) Wait...you want a camera to shoot at + 1/1000 in low light? Maybe he meant 1/1000 is a limitation for shooting in bright light at f2. For me it is meh. BTW, there are many unknowns here. Focusing speed is one.

Simone_DF Posted September 28, 2018 Share #14 Posted September 28, 2018 Nice! I'll consider getting one, I much prefer 35mm over 28mm. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted September 28, 2018 Share #15 Posted September 28, 2018 Wait...you want a camera to shoot at + 1/1000 in low light? Already have a camera which can i.e. Sony A7SII. I was referring to the ZX1's relatively low 6400 max. ISO which limits its low light performance. dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted September 28, 2018 Share #16 Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) Limited 6400 ISO and limited 1/1000 highest shutter speed? dunk Only via the dials. I think it goes to 1/8000 and ISO 51,200 if you use the touch screen on the back (or presumably if you set the shutter to A). There is also an H detent on both the ISO and shutter speed dials which must also do something in terms of the higher settings.
