ZX1 Digital Camera

Modeled after the ethos "Shoot, Edit, Share", the ZEISS ZX1 is a truly innovative camera with an uncompromising position on all facets of photography. Sporting a full-frame sensor for capturing high-resolution imagery, the ZX1 is further distinguished by built-in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for in-camera editing via the large touchscreen monitor, and Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a USB Type-C port then let you immediately share your results with the world.

Designed first to be a camera to appeal to the purists, the ZX1 revolves around a full-frame 37.4MP CMOS sensor, which affords clear, high-res stills shooting along with UHD 4K video recording, along with a broad sensitivity range of ISO 80-51200 to suit working in various lighting conditions. Paired perfectly to the sensor is a ZEISS Distagon T* 35mm f/2 prime lens, whose general wide-angle field of view suits a broad range of shooting applications, from reportage to landscape to portraiture. Building off this foundation, the ZX1 allows for intuitive and seamless shooting control, favoring simple physical dials and rings for adjusting exposure and employing a leaf shutter design for inconspicuous performance.

Benefitting the efficient imaging capabilities is a high-resolution OLED electronic viewfinder and an especially large 4.3" rear touchscreen LCD. The EVF has a 0.74x magnification and Full HD resolution for bright, clear viewing while shooting. Conversely, the expansive size of the rear LCD is well-suited to image navigation and in-camera image editing via built-in Adobe Lightroom. This advanced editing application lets you make both global and local edits efficiently, and will sync automatically with Lightroom CC on your computer. The ZX1 includes a 12-month subscription to Lightroom CC, after which regular subscription rates will apply.

Finally, helping to organize and get your images out into the world, the ZX1 is outfitted with a slew of connectivity options, ranging from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to a USB Type-C connector for offloading directly to an external hard drive. In terms of saving imagery on the camera, a built-in 512GB SSD offers an impressive amount of storage space for your photos and videos, along with the possibility to organize files into collections for faster navigation.
