Sony
wowed the gallery a few days ago now showing that it was possible to
take 999 photos in 68 seconds with the burst of the device. Casually, it is 14 frames per second, which is not unusual. After, is it really useful? No, unfortunately, because the pictures taken continuously are not the most successful, far from it. We must remember that we do not have a camera in your hands, but a smartphone. So, what to say?
Well, Sony has made a lot of progress since the previous generation. The manufacturer has always had a huge problem with file compression, which meant that even with a sensor Interestingly enough, the photos ended up doing only a few kb. In practice, this translated files. Highly compressed jpg and often ugly. This has been corrected on the Z and we finally files whose weight reflects a decent amount of information in relation to the size of the sensor. And in fact, it also allows us to take pretty pictures.The autofocus is good and allows you to manage more or less depth of field for portraits or macro shots. On landscapes, we are pleasantly surprised by the color fidelity: they are not flashy but so delight lovers who prefer the color neutrality. Some examples:
The device is very simple with few effects and some shooting modes: it does not differ radically from what Google offers its Android phones naked. You can easily see it as a device to take extra ride if you do not want to leave your DSLR and you have stored your compact.On the video side, we present the cream, 1080p Full HD. As often, the problem comes from the microphone captures too small to withstand the heaviest sounds or greater. We nevertheless tested on big speakers and although the sound is muffled, it does not saturate immediately, which is a good point. Of course, you can watch your recordings directly from the gallery, which we will discuss in the next and final part of this test.
