Let's jump into the hardware and design. In short, it's nothing short of amazing. The area surrounding the camera lens is made of metal; with the grip being a rubber-like material. It gives you a solid grip when capturing or recording; and it doesn't leave behind any fingerprints. Now to camera performance. It's great in bright light, perfect for vacations or just casual outdoor shooting. It provides crisp and sharp photos that look really great. And of course, the 10x optical zoom is really fun to play with. The zoom is extremely smooth and seamless, with no lags or stutters through the MotoMod connection. It has OIS for stills, which works pretty well; especially when zooming. I did notice that it takes a few seconds to focus if you're using the telephoto optical zoom. In low light, the Xenon flash does a very good job lighting up the room; significantly better than the onboard LED flash on the Moto Z Play itself. With video, the stabilization is noticeably better than the onboard camera; but it doesn't have 4K recording. Videos come out great; with decent colors; and don't look too over saturated. Keep in mind that you can't use the Xenon flash when recording video (it's way to bright, probably will blind someone). It also has a professional mode; which allows you to adjust focus, white balance, ISO, and zoom. I think $249 is a fair price; consider this is on par with similar point and shoots with Wifi. I'll attach some camera samples for your judgment. Images look a bit blurry through Amazon; click here to view full res photos [...] Read more

Takes great pictures! Zoom is a little fast to touch so you have to play a bit to get where you want sometimes. Does drain battery so an external charger is very useful. Read more

Works perfect on my Moto Z Force. Crisp clean pictures. Quality is amazing. Could not be happier with this camera mod. Easy to use. Seems very durable and should last several years. Comes with a nice case to keep it clean and protected. It is nice and compact. It is worth noting that the max resolution output is only 12mp, but with such a crisp clear picture that seems to work great for me. It also uses about 3 times more battery than using the regular camera. After using it for about 5 minutes (picture taking and settings and just getting to know it) it depleted my battery about 5-6%. As for whether you can use the digital zoom with this mod, there were a lot of "No" answers. Yes. Mine does. I am not sure if this is a feature added in a recent update of the Moto Mods software, or if it is just on the Moto Z Force, or if I just received an updated product (I just got mine yesterday (2/26/2017) but mine will allow me to use the digital zoom after the 10x zoom is at max, it allows me to go to 40x with the digital. One caveat though, while the mod is connected to your phone, swipe the viewfinder right on your screen and there is a setting "Use Digital Zoom". If you check this option, it will allow you to use the digital zoom, but only after the optical zoom has maxed out at its 10x. There is even a section in the "Adjust Settings" portion of the owner's manual for using the digital zoom feature (page 5). Nice to also be able to adjust the settings within the Hasselblad to take Black & White pictures and Raw image format. The optic lens automatically activates when the camera app is opened and automatically deactivates when the camera app is closed, or you can use the power button on the Mod itself. I have attached some pictures for comparison. I am not able to attached the full scale pictures taken by the Moto Z Force (because they are about 12MB in size each), but in looking at these scaled down versions, since all are scaled down the same way, I am trying to show the difference between the stock camera vs. the Mod with full optical zoom to 10x vs. the Mod with full optic zoom to 10x combined with full digital zoom to 40x. These pictures were taken indoors with zero sunlight, only light source is an incandescent bulb between the camera and the paper. I measured the distance to be 12 feet. So far I have not found anything I don't like about this Mod. Should anything new come up I will return to update this review, but as for now, it fits my needs perfect. Read more
