ASUS ZenPad S 8.0 Z580CA Intel-Powered Premium Android Tablet Review
Camera & Battery Life
Camera and Battery Life
The ZenPad S 8.0 sports a 5-megapixel front-facing for selfies and video conferencing, and an 8-megapixel rear-facing "PixelMaster" camera with an f/2.0 aperture that Asus claims is capable of snapping photos in low light situation without the need for a flash. Let's have a look.5MP Front Facing Camera
8MP Rear Facing PixelMaster Camera
Overall, the 8MP PixelMaster camera has the potential to take some really nice shots, but not without a bit of effort. For example, the colors in the tree shot (bottom row, third pic) are too saturated, which you can see when comparing to the grass around the fire pit in the picture right next too it. The camera doesn't do as well when letting in too much light.
Where lighting isn't as strong, the camera does a much better job. We were particularly impressed at its ability to capture the Grinch yard decoration sitting in the shade.
Battery Life
As always, your mileage will vary depending on how you use the tablet, but even with light usage, this tablet's battery life is a little soft.
