Thanks for this video. Would you say it's still worth it in 2022? There is one being sold for a good price in my area and I'm thinking of buying it. Some say the image quality is not that good. Also, could I use my phone as a monitor when recording videos since this does not have a flip out screen?
@kazarian619 Жыл бұрын
I'll say that price will be the defining factor. I can't say fully how it compares in 2022 because about two years ago I got caught in a storm and the camera suffered water damage. That said for an older point and shoot I think it's pretty decent (specially if you know how to take advantage of it's advance features like full manual mode, bracketing, and raw shooting). You can tether the camera to your phone and see everything on the phone as a viewfinder during video. Do you mind me asking how much you found it for? That way I can better advise you if it's worth buying.

@@kazarian619 Yes. I'm into photography. I had a Canon G7X before although I did enjoy it, the lack of a viewfinder and the problematic auto-focus of my unit made me decide to sell it.

@kazarian619 Жыл бұрын
@@SharDances No worries. I’ve been in your shoes before, least I can do is pay it forward. I do believe the G7x has slightly better image quality since it has higher megapixel and higher native iso. The upside of the Zs50 is that by lowering the megapixel, they are larger and therefore quite effective at absorbing light. The one small downside of the ZS50 is that it won’t perform very good(for video) under poor light. I’ll send you a link of a video I shot using the ZS50 indoors. You’ll see how it performs.

I've never been to a fashion show so I can't say how the camera will perform in that type of environment, but as far as food or travel yes. Specially for traveling since the camera is compact. Now if you want to make a film I wouldn't recommend it because it doesn't have an external mic and while video quality is very good if you use the zoom under low light the video quality will go down a little, but that s just because of the variable aperture in the lens. If you have any other questions just let me know. 👍🏽👍🏽

Well I don't know if you'll think it's worth it. But I personally like the camera. Image quality to me is good. But I'm still working on the raw files. Haven't been able to develop the raw files into JPEGs. But due to the size of the sensor I'll say that even shooting raw you won't be able to get out a ton of detail like you would out of a DSLR.

Joseph Trezza the camera focuses pretty well. A little bit slow at full tele, mostly during video but that's common in most high zoom cameras. I find the photos are sharp, but mostly when you compare it to to other point and shoot cameras. Can't expect to get similar results as a higher end camera or a mirrorless. But I've compare the photos to a couple of Nikon's and Canons. Like the L830,L840,S9050,SX510 and SX530HS and the ZS50 is sharper and focuses quicker

I put new batteries in the Z981 yesterday morning. I did video of two speeches, and the batteries were completely depleted soon after. Then I switched to my Finepix. The original idea was to keep the Z981 on the tripod for the speeches, and use the Finepix to shoot still photos.

I went to a Memorial Day event. I had two cameras with me: the Z981, and an old Fujifilm finepix camera. The Fujifilm camera is a 10X zoom. I like the Zoom ability of the Z981But the Fujifilm camera gives a beautiful focus. Im thinking maybe the best $200 camera choice is to go backto a finepix product! I admit during an event, im doing quick decision making, and not using the features of the Z981 completely correct, but compared to the latest finepix products, is Z981 very substandard?
