Hello all ..,
today i bring you a little comparison of the top 2 i say cameras till now on the market .. Mighty bright Z1 vs Chunky camera zoom
maybe some of you know that i gave my wife the Z1 and got me the S4 zoom cause i was more into more manual control ... any yes its a camera not a phone but with compromising to the form factor.
so today jumped to my mind to do a comparison between both ... how do the Bright f/2.0 lens will match the dim f/3.1 in low light quick snaps ... why in quick snaps because the zoom could manipulate anything u need to give you the type of picture you want BUT in quick snaps you will not stand a time to play with manual settings. so for casual shots which is which ?
it turned out a little surprise ... the Z1 is a very good very good shooters for casual shots.
to make it easy i used manual mode 8mp (to allow over sampling) 16:9 all auto on the Z1 and 4:3 16mp (default) all auto (except some highlighted photos) to the zoom.
so lets roll to the photos ... all low lights
Galaxy Camera Auto settings all ranged between 1/6sec iso1250 while Z1 auto settings ranges from 1/10-1/16 iso400

Here i set the Zoom to same parameters as Z1 0.8sec iso200 but f/3.1 .. see the difference of the wider aperature Amazing

For me ... Z1 is better in quick snapshots press and shot due to bright f/2 while the Zoom if played in Expert mode will give u any output u need but u have to know whats ur doin.
