Hugh Brownstone makes an interesting point in his latest video about the Zeiss ZX1 and I have to agree with him. Zeiss is the only company to release a professional camera tailored to suit the needs of the next generation of photographers. He manages to get a few more small details out of the Zeiss rep, but I have to agree with him. I want one in my hands now. Below are some excerpts from the above video:
- Zeiss used to make cameras and have considered a camera like this for a while
- Photographers care the most about creative flow
- People want to get from intent to execution asap
- Zeiss included the exposure triangle on physical buttons
- 4.3″ diagonal display and it’s the biggest of any camera
- You need the space for editing and review
- Adobe Lightroom partnership that syncs with adobe creative cloud so you can edit on the camera or the computer
- Doesn’t sound like they did anything special for glare and the back screen
- 4k 30p/24p
- USB-C for charging/transferring/displaying photos
- It does video but it’s photographer-centric
- The bright yellow markings are from their cinematography background and helps with visibility, but it doesn’t glow
- 512GB of memory in camera
