The Zeiss ZX1, a special cam that was announced more than 2 years ago before the business basically stopped speaking about it, may actually remain in clients hands at some point in the near future. As noted by DPReview, B&H Photo has sent emails saying that its coming soon and is now readily available to preorder for $6,000. It was originally supposed to be launched in early 2019.
The Zeiss ZX1, an unique cam that was announced more than two years ago before the company essentially stopped talking about it, might really be in consumers hands at some point in the near future. As noted by DPReview, B&H Photo has actually sent out e-mails stating that its coming quickly and is now available to preorder for $6,000. Zeiss is no doubt positive in the ZX1s optics and efficiency, but you understand a cams costly when it makes a Leica appearance cheap.
The obvious contrast would be with Sonys RX1 compact cams, which also include full-frame sensors and Zeiss-branded 35mm f/2 lenses; the last one expense $3,300 in 2015. They dont run Lightroom, obviously, however they are a lot smaller. Another comparison in the premium full-frame compact area would be the Leica Q2, which costs $4,995. Zeiss is no doubt confident in the ZX1s optics and efficiency, but you know a cameras costly when it makes a Leica appearance cheap.
The worth of the ZX1, then, will all come down to its UX and how effectively its software application works. And, well, we do not have any idea about that just. B&H Photo isnt listing a real release date, either, which indicates its possible that theres still some way to go before it goes on sale– if it does at all. If we hear anything more specific, well upgrade you.
Why would anybody pay $6,000 for the ZX1? Well, it wouldnt be wise to purchase without at least waiting for hands-on impressions of the finished product, however it is reasonable to state that its an one-of-a-kind video camera.
