The pleasure exerted by photography counteracts the lack of ‘sauce’ and ‘spicy’ in terms of the repertoire of extra functionswhich does not mean that what is captured is convincing: the aforementioned high resolution in the photos, UHD video, Pro mode, night mode, single capture… What does disappoint is its 10x digital zoom, very fair.
