Samsung Galaxy K Zoom - Pros & Cons

Samsung Galaxy K Zoom

Pros

  • Macro performance is good
  • new ways of thinking
  • new connections
  • and new industries
  • smoother
  • thinner
  • faster
  • better built and more highly specified
  • Video capture also makes excellent use of the optical zoom
  • works intuitively and which I was very happy with
  • sounds really great

Cons

  • no screw thread for a tripod
  • this 30 second movie is 103Mb in size
  • Samsung Galaxy K Zoom relatively heavy and bulky
  • at relatively slow ISO speeds and chromatic aberrations
  • Noise already becomes obvious at the relatively slow setting of ISO 400
  • phone functionality and was way too big for comfort
  • bulky proportions do make it more unwieldy as an everyday phone
  • the battery only dropped to around the 85 percent mark
  • It therefore fails to capture a lot of detail
  • Colours too seem a bit over-saturated and less than lifelike
  • It actually appears a little fuzzy
