Evaluation of Casio telephoto machine ZR 1500

IT 168 selfie evaluation is an eternal topic among women in this era. Casio TR series selfie artifact is good, but its high price and relatively narrow application range make many people think twice, and Casio ZR series cameras make up for the vacancy of this gear. It not only has the comprehensive performance of ordinary digital cameras, but also has the core technology of Casio selfie. The key is that the price is much lower than the selfie artifact. Today, I will bring you Casio ZR 1500.

The effective pixel of ZR 1500 is about 1665438+ ten thousand, which can meet the needs of ordinary users. The lens is equivalent to 35mm with a focal length of 24mm-300mm and a zoom factor of 12.5 times, which is very suitable for traveling. The back of the fuselage adopts a 3-inch LCD screen with 920,000 pixels, which can be flipped 180, which is convenient for female users to take selfies. In addition, ZR 1500 can shoot full HD video and continuous shooting mode, with a maximum of 30 videos per second. No matter from which point of view, ZR 1500 is very powerful, which is more than enough for ordinary home computers.

Advantages:

1. comparable to the beauty function of the selfie artifact.

2. The five-axis image is stable.

These boots are very fast.

4. Time lapse photography function.

5. Rich filtering function.

6. Manual exposure.

Insufficient:

1. There is no wifi to transfer photos.

2. The fuselage is relatively thick.

Purchase suggestion:

ZR 1500 is enough for ordinary users, and the image quality of small-bottom card machine need not be more harsh than that of SLR or micro-single, while ZR 1500 has high playability for time-lapse photography and high-speed continuous shooting. Suitable for users who like to take selfies and take care of their families. The current price in JD.COM is 1999 yuan. Click to view details. This price is much lower than that of previous ZR series card machines. Personally, I think it can be sold.

Detailed explanation of fuselage appearance

ZR 1500 has four colors, which are red, white, yellow and brown. This time, I got the white version, which looks very atmospheric and pure, and is more suitable for female users. In terms of feel, after installing the memory card and battery, the weight of the whole machine is about 256g, which is neither heavy nor heavy, and the grip is still very poor.

▲ZR 1500 front

In the fuselage design, ZR 1500 continues the tough style before, and most of them adopt straight lines.

▲ The white appearance is noble and atmospheric.

The focal length range of ZR 1500 lens is 24mm-300mm, and the optical zoom reaches 12.5 times. It belongs to a machine that can take care of the world. 24mm wide angle can record travel scenery or ordinary street view, and 300mm telephoto end can shoot ultra-long-distance pictures, which is very practical.

▲12.5x optical zoom lens

There is also a silver multifunctional control ring around the lens on the front of the fuselage, through which parameters such as white balance and ISO can be adjusted in time when shooting. For users who like street shooting or snapshot, this setting can greatly improve the shooting efficiency, find out the shortcomings in the shooting process in time and improve them.

▲ User-defined control loop with adjustable parameters

The design on ZR 1500 is also very simple, including a shooting mode dial, a video key, a shutter key and a switch. The hole on the left is the microphone hole. This design is relatively mainstream at present, and it is easier for users to understand and get started.

Behind ZR 1500 is a 3-inch 920,000-pixel display screen with clear and natural display effect, which is also the mainstream configuration at present. The buttons on the right are clear at a glance, especially the "Ring" button. You can set the parameters with the highest frequency through the ring key, and then adjust the parameters through the control ring on the outer ring of the lens, which is more convenient to change the parameters quickly during snapshot.

▲ Back layout

As mentioned earlier, ZR 1500 self-timer works well. Since it's a selfie, the screen can naturally flip 180. In addition to taking selfies, it is also convenient to squat down and take pictures of pets or flowers. At present, there are not many card machines with flip screens.

On the left side of the front of the fuselage are USB/AV universal interface and HDMI interface, while on the right side there is no interface. The battery and memory card are located at the bottom of the camera.

You can take about 470 photos when fully charged. This endurance is still very good, and the camera supports USB charging. For users who travel abroad, a charging treasure for the camera must be enough for a whole day.

ISO test

As we all know, the damage of small bottom card machine is affected by the size of CMOS, and its high sensitivity will not be very good. Bian Xiao chose to take pictures indoors in poor light to see how the light sensitivity of ZR 1500 was. It should be mentioned here that ZR 1500 belongs to the card machine after all, and the idea of pursuing high quality and high ISO is unrealistic, which is obviously different from the SLR and micro-single of larger CMOS.

It can be seen that the sharpness begins to decline when ISO reaches 400, and the blur can be seen when ISO reaches 800, and the pixel tailing phenomenon is a bit obvious. When ISO reaches ISO 1600, the smear phenomenon is very obvious, and the sharpness and contrast are greatly reduced. Of course, the requirements for 1/2.33 inch CMOS camera should not be too high, and the ISO is not higher than 200 during the day.

Self-timer and filter effect

As mentioned before, the self-timer effect of ZR 1500 is still very good, and the beauty level can be adjusted in stages, without losing the TR series self-timer artifact in effect. In addition to taking photos when traveling, it can also be used for taking selfies.

In addition to self-timer, the machine also has a variety of built-in filter effects, which saves many post-processing steps for novices and enhances playability.

Other sample display

Generally speaking, Casio ZR 1500 is a very good camera, with 16 100 effective pixels and 12.5 times optical zoom, which can meet the basic needs of ordinary users and is also very practical in travel, not to mention the beauty effect. It is a very comprehensive camera. Finally, Bian Xiao took some photos.
