For the advantages of card cameras, many friends must know that in terms of picture quality, it is slightly worse than C format cameras, but better than mobile phones; In terms of portability, it's better than a C-format camera, but slightly worse than a phone. Therefore, those users who pursue better picture quality than mobile phones and also want to take into account a certain portability can see this card machine.
A 1-inch card camera and a slightly better performance of the thousand-yuan machine, this can be described as a relatively perfect combination, because the card camera supports WiFi and Bluetooth functions, we can use its two functions to establish a connection with the mobile phone, after the connection is successful, the photos taken by the camera can be transferred to the mobile phone in real time, convenient for browsing or editing at any time, and can also get better photo quality.
So if the mobile phone you are using is a mobile phone with better performance like Redmi Note11T Pro, but the photo is not very powerful, then it is necessary to buy a suitable card machine. Last time I compared Sony ZV-1 and Panasonic LX10, two 1-inch large-bottom card machines, but the price difference between these two card machines is a bit large, Panasonic LX10 because the price is cheaper, so compared to Sony ZV-1 there must be more shortcomings, such as its battery life is not very good, but it also reflects the Panasonic related products extremely high cost performance.
So since Panasonic's card machine is very cost-effective, many friends may be wondering, does Panasonic have a card machine with a price close to the Sony ZV-1? If so, would it be more worthwhile than the Sony ZV-1? Of course, the answer is yes, the Panasonic ZS220D priced at 3798 is not much different from the price of the Sony ZV-1's 4099.
Panasonic ZS220D, like Panasonic LX10 and Sony ZV-1, has a 1-inch outsole, the difference is that Panasonic ZS220D is a card machine that focuses on telephoto, while Sony ZV-1 and Panasonic LX10 are card machines with a large aperture. Although the price of the Panasonic ZS220D and the Sony ZV-1 is indeed not too different, there is still a big difference in the functions given in many details.
Lens:
Panasonic ZS220D supports a focal length of 24 to 360 mm, the maximum optical zoom factor is 15 times, no mobile phone has reached such a large optical zoom, the author knows that the maximum mobile phone only supports 10 times the light change of the telephoto lens, but its telephoto lens pixels are not high, the resolution is very general, the photosensitive area of the corresponding sensor is far less than the 1-inch large bottom sensor, and the Sony ZV-1 only supports 2.7x optical zoom.
In addition to supporting 15x optical zoom, the Panasonic ZS220D, like the Panasonic LX10, also supports five-axis OIS optical image stabilization, which is much better than the Sony ZV-1 and more favorable for high-magnification telephoto shooting. But the Panasonic ZS220D's aperture is not as large as the Sony ZV-1.
The ZS220D's aperture range is F3.3 to F8.0, while the Sony ZV-1's aperture range is F1.8-F2.8, which means that the former can't shoot shallow depth of field and bokeh, while the latter can.
In terms of focus:
Of course, the Sony ZV-1 is better, it has 315 phase detection AF points and 425 contrast detection AF points, which can be called violent focus in the industry, other manufacturers are indeed not as good as Sony in this regard, Panasonic ZS220D and Sony ZV-1 compared focus ability is no exception.
Sony ZV-1 has a function that is enough to reflect its powerful focusing ability, that is, the product display function, as long as you open this function, even if you hold a needle in your hand, it can quickly switch the focus to the needle, which is used for live broadcasting, it is simply good.
However, the Panasonic ZS220D is not weak in terms of focus, it has a contrast autofocus system, supports DFD space recognition, even if it is not as good as the Sony ZV-1's violent focus, but it is not much slower, stronger than most flagship phones.
Screen aspect:
I have to admit that the Panasonic ZS220D screen design is worse than the Panasonic LX10, LX10 at least gives a screen that can be flipped 180 degrees, but the screen of the Panasonic ZS220D is fixed and completely unable to move, so if you want to use it for low-camera shooting, it is not as convenient as flipping the screen, and the selfie experience is worse, and it is impossible to compose the picture at all.
And Sony ZV-1 is a 270-degree side-flip screen, whether it is overhead or back-to-back shooting, even selfies are very convenient, its 270-degree side-flip screen also has a more practical function, that is, the screen can be turned inward, this aspect can protect the screen from being scratched, on the other hand, as long as the screen is turned inward, the lens of the camera will automatically retract into the fuselage and enter the standby state, and reopen the screen The lens of the camera automatically extends out and enters the shooting mode.
I have to admit that the experience brought by this design of the Sony ZV-1 is very good, and there are indeed reasons to sell more expensive. However, although Panasonic ZS220D does not give a flip screen, it gives an OLED electronic viewfinder, as well as a flash, these two Sony ZV-1 does not give, electronic viewfinder and flash can allow professionals to have more room to play, but for novices it is not very useful.
Battery life:
If the biggest hard damage of Panasonic LX10 is poor endurance (battery capacity is only 680mah), then Panasonic ZS220D makes up for this shortcoming very well, giving a 1025mah battery, although compared to Sony ZV-1's 1240mah battery is still less, but for taking pictures is completely enough, at least much longer than the LX10 insisted on.
Of course, I have to admit that in terms of battery life, the Sony ZV-1 is still more advantageous than the Panasonic ZS220D, unless the data cable is connected to the charging treasure to use.
Sound pickup effect:
Sony ZV-1 comes with a powerful microphone, and is equipped with a hot shoe interface, you can use this interface to connect a more professional microphone, which is more advantageous when recording video, of course, Panasonic ZS220D Although the microphone pickup effect that comes with the fuselage is not as good as Sony ZV-1, there is no hot shoe interface, but it can also be connected to a professional microphone through the 3.5mm interface, which can keep the sound of video recording higher purity.
However, if it is better than the pickup effect of the built-in microphone, of course, the Sony ZV-1's built-in microphone pickup effect is better.
So which card machine is recommended to choose compared with Sony ZV-1 and Panasonic ZS220D? The author thinks it is better to choose Panasonic ZS220D, how to say?
Although the Sony ZV-1 does have advantages in some aspects, such as F1.8 large aperture, violent focus, 270-degree flip screen and powerful sound pickup function, but these functional mobile phones can also achieve very close effects through powerful algorithms, and only the Panasonic ZS220D's 15x optical zoom, because the mobile phone is limited by the space of the fuselage, how can not achieve the same effect.
It should be known that Panasonic ZS220D is still a 15x optical zoom achieved on the large bottom sensor, while the current flagship mobile phone telephoto lens is usually only 1/2-inch large sole, and the maximum is only 5x optical zoom. So I think it's better to choose the Panasonic ZS220D than the Sony ZV-1, if it can also give a 270-degree side-flip screen like the Sony ZV-1, so that whether it is a low-camera or high-camera shooting, it can solve the user's composition problem.
So, after reading the author's analysis, in the face of Panasonic ZS220D and Sony ZV-1, two card machines with very similar prices, which do you think is better to choose? Welcome to friendly interaction in the comment area!
