Review on Sony SELP1650 16 50Mm Power Zoom by Nguyn Quang Huy ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

If you are not very demanding and shoot in jpg or lens size is the main factor for you, then the lens will suit you. If you have already had experience shooting in Raw with good DSLR lenses, then this lens will disappoint you. I already regret that I took the camera with him, and not with a lens with a fixed focal length. Has some pros Compact, in the off state it shifts to very small sizes. The performance for a lens of such a small size is not bad. Cons: - Vignetting and distortion. At the long end (16mm) it is visible even to the naked eye. If you shoot in jpg, then the camera itself will programmatically correct these shortcomings, but the photos are slightly cropped. If you shoot in RAW, then we get black corners and a "cushion" picture, which you need to separately straighten yourself later. - The zoom is not very convenient. First, you move the wheel with your hand, and then the camera itself brings it to the desired one. The main drawback is that after turning it off and on again, the zoom is reset. If, for example, I never want to shoot at 16mm (because of the quality problems described above), then every time I have to set my cherished 20mm again.
