Check out that lens: Zeiss ZX1 studio scene uploaded
We're continuing to work through our Zeiss ZX1 review, and have just finalized the studio scene images – here they are! While we're less impressed with the camera's JPEG engine, we have to say, in Raw mode, that 35mm F2 lens really shines. Check out the chart's far corners to see how it compares against other fixed-lens, large sensor cameras.
But regarding the JPEG images, after multiple attempts, what you see here was the best white balance we could get the custom white balance function to give. And, since the camera lacks the option to manually adjust the green/magenta 'tint' axis, we had no way of improving on it. This isn't an issue if you process the DNGs in-camera, of course, as Lightroom provides much more subtle correction tools.
Stay tuned for some more ZX1 review content, coming shortly.

More than two years after first showing off the camera, the Zeiss ZX1 is here. It features a 37.4MP full-frame sensor, a Zeiss Distagon 35mm F2 T* lens and has a variation of Android built-in that's capable of running Lightroom Mobile for editing your images directly in-camera.
Zeiss Senior Product Manager Elliot Shih sat down with us at CP+ to talk about the company's first camera to launch in more than a decade.
The Zeiss ZX1 was one of the great surprises of Photokina 2018: a full-frame, Android-based compact with a 35mm F2 lens. We got a chance to play with a pre-production example at CP+ and found something unlike any particular camera we've encountered before.
The ZX1 is Zeiss' first ever digital camera, featuring a 37.4MP full-frame sensor and a fixed, 35mm F2 Zeiss Distagon lens. In a first for any camera, Zeiss has teamed up with Adobe to offer Lightroom CC functionality in the camera itself, utilizing its large 4.3" touchscreen.
The a7R V is the fifth iteration of Sony's high-end, high-res full-frame mirrorless camera. The new 60MP Mark IV, gains advanced AF, focus stacking and a new rear screen arrangement. We think it excels at stills.
After weeks with a production Canon EOS R6 Mark II, Chris and Jordan get into more detail than they could in their initial review.
Topaz Labs' flagship app uses AI algorithms to make some complex image corrections really, really easy. But is there enough here to justify its rather steep price?
Ultra-wide to short telephoto?! The Sony FE 20-70mm F4 G has a very useful focal range, so we took it to the mountains to see how it performs.
