The no-nonsense approach to manual mode is something I really appreciate. The AF is great, works well in dark conditions. Rest assured until I make quite a bit more money, it's the lens holding me back not the camera.

    Edit: The ZV-E10 doesn't have a viewfinder. I'm primarily a photographer, so that's a deal breaker.

      6100 and 6400 are already end of life.
      If you ever need repair in the future, may not be easy to find comoonents.

          Lazerr, 25 Sep 2023And the 24mm, 24 MP photos don't look like they have ... moreAbout the 24mp 24mm
          Apple chips have weaker ISP compared to qualcomm.
          Apple had 2 choices:

          1) using 12MP + HDR , then upscale to 24MP
          2) shoot 48mp without HDR , downscale to 24mp

          Obviously option number 2 would never be used.

          About 28, 35 and 48mm. Apple needs to use QB to Bayer conversion then use portion of photos. Too much to do while merging frames, reason gsmarena staff sees no signs of " computational" tricks.

          Anyway, soon Mr " Knows more than Canon/Sony Semicon/Samsung Semicon" will show up to create lame excuses to say I am wrong when my statement is exactly what happens here.

          By the way, 15 pro duo has weaker battery endurance than 14 pro.

              ProCroping

                They definitely improved on the rendition, though still looks a bit artificial/processed, its nearly not as bad as on the 14s

                  And the 24mm, 24 MP photos don't look like they have much more detail than 12 MP photos to begin with.

                    Come on.. Cropping is breakthrough feature that is exclusive to pro and pro max. That is what Apple tring to explain in that camera pro presentation. 🤗

                      Wow, those images looks almost exactly the same. There is just a slight shift in the position.

                          "using Photoshop's Preserve Details 2.0"
                          You shouldn't do that as Adobe's Preserve Details 2.0 uses machine learning for upscaling. Many people are not aware of this that even Preserve Details 2.0 uses a neural network, but it was described in a manual that was published by Adobe some years ago. You should rather use bicubic upscaling.
