What reviewers say
Tom's Hardware and TechRadar praised the detailed 4K picture, natural background blur and strong low-light results. Both found the camera expensive and large. Tom's Hardware liked the default exposure but criticised Razer Synapse and found autofocus sometimes over-sensitive; TechRadar was more positive about autofocus and image controls.
