Lightning quick, Nice features for such a small model

Some image quality issues

Overall the Z850 is a solid advanced camera. It doesn't take the best photographs in the world, but it performed above average in most of our tests and crams a robust feature-set into a relatively small design.

Minimal creative settings that could be done without ; Have to squint to use the small optical viewfinder
