The Z6 rates a 20/50 on the vision test, although it is approaching the 20/40. The color on the Z6 suffers in bright or poor light. While bad color in low light is no surprise, bad color in bright light puts the Z6 relatively behind its contemporaries - most cameraphones can compensate for this these days. In moderate light color is accurate. All the edges in photos are blurry when viewed at 100%, though many look sharp on the Z6's screen.

Because the camera wants to be held horizontally, but records vertically, you video will either be sideways, or will be formatted like a printed page instead of a computer or tv screen. Motion looks smooth, and the color is as accurate as still pictures.
