This flagship is completely worth it — the camera sensor leads the entire segment!! Just need to save up for it!!!
Sony IMX906 sensor, 1/1.56-inch. Most competitors in this tier are at 1/1.7-inch. That's roughly 20% more surface area, and the low-light difference in actual testing is visible to the naked eye.
Main lens plus the telephoto configuration is also strong — 7x optical zoom at this price is rare. It's expensive and I'm two months of saving away, but I already know this is the one. Reading every review to pass the time until then haha
