If you're a power-user when it comes to video capture or someone looking to fill out their Instagram grid with envy-inducing snaps, the Reno2 Z gets most of the way there but can't quite hang with the big guns of the category.

Despite everything that I just love and adore about the device, the daily performance here is just not up to the mark. It's hard to point fingers, whether it is the software or the processor, but the end result is something that could end up annoying buyers.
