Sony E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS

A prosumer, video-oriented superzoom popular with run-and-gun documentary and event shooters on APS-C — a constant f/4 aperture and smooth power zoom make it a favourite for video over cheaper kit zooms, though it isn't razor-sharp at the long end.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
