The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Olympus OM-D E-M1 II Pros: Tank construction, tropicalization with IPX1 certification, functionality, autofocus, High Resolution shooting, stabilization, custom customizable, sensor, detail and color rendering, dimensions and weights Cons: Messed up menu, touchscreen not fully active, AF not always great in some situations, tracking with AF-C, yield over 6400 ISO, viewfinder a little uncomfortable for those who wear glasses Opinion: There is a lot to say about this machine but I try to summarize starting immediately from the cons: The menu is MESSED UP not only for the dated graphics but also for the impossibility of being able to use the touchscreen and for the arrangement of some functions and names (you have to dig deeply), the AF in some situations shows its limits from the point of view of reliability (tracking with AF-C is not the best), the yield over 6400 ISO leaves something to be desired but it is a detail that on such dense and small sensors you already know right away, the viewfinder turns out to be a bit uncomfortable for those who wear glasses because the eyepiece does not cover the whole lens but setting the style of the viewfinder to "Style 2" and sacrificing the corners you can still use it normally. After the cons we move on to the actual opinion: Built like a tank and IPX1 certified immediately transmits the situation of having a serious product in hand and built to last, giving a great feeling of solidity and without games that combined with the excellent grip guarantee not only a firm grip but also great reliability thanks to the shutter guaranteed for 200000 shots. The sensor is a Sony Live MOS 20 megapixel without a low-pass filter so it guarantees greater detail at the expense of a greater moiré effect and you can immediately notice it in RAW: clear details, very pleasant colors, clearly visible contrasts, excellent rendering up to 1600 ISO with a more accentuated noise towards 3200-6400 ISO. The Hi-Res shooting function is a real délicatesse since it allows you to get an 80 megapixel photo with a clear reduction in noise and a tremendous increase in detail. The stabilization in the body I must say that it is effective enough to be able to go down even close to the second freehand but we must not expect miracles, while the great customization of the keys really allows us to shape it to our liking to avoid entering the chaotic menu every time. The autonomy I must say is good but I always recommend bringing at least one spare battery with you. For the rest it can be said that it is a machine complete with everything that an amateur photographer needs! sent on December 29, 2021 |
 | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO Pros: Size, weight, construction, IPX1 certification, undisputed optical quality, autofocus, pleasant blur Cons: Resistance to flares against light not always impeccable, not having it in your kit Opinion: Where to start? there are so many excellent aspects about this lens that summarizing them is difficult. Taken primarily for its undisputed optical qualities in relation to size and is a lens that will be very difficult to exclude in your kit. Massive as a block of steel but smaller than a bottle of water transmits first hand a cold feeling of great solidity and habituation given by its construction entirely in aluminum except for the inner barrel and the hood that are made of plastic. But only once mounted you immediately understand what you are dealing with: very fast and precise AF thanks to the linear motor, extraordinary optical quality from edge to edge at each focal length giving its maximum between F / 4 and F / 5.6, excellent sharpness even at f / 2.8, very good macro capabilities, focal range sufficiently versatile for most uses, MF Clutch mechanism to immediately switch from AF to MF with also a scale (in Ft and Mt) useful for various purposes. sent on December 29, 2021 |
 | Canon EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Pros: Used cost, very good image quality up to 150 mm, effective stabilizer, very quiet focus, weights and dimensions reduced to the bone Cons: Plastic construction, very sensitive zoom ring, loses 150 mm up Opinion: If I have to say it in three words I would say that it is a "Plastic Is Fantastic!", The construction is totally plastic and the feeling to the touch is "crunchy" but given the small size to the bone and the very good quality in relation to the type of lens it is, demanding a metal construction would have been too pretentious. But in its "plasticity" it shows that on the glass they have not spared too much: the sharpness remains almost excellent up to 150 mm, from 150 mm up it begins to become softer but it is something to expect from such a product, but nothing that does not resolve by closing the diaphragm by a stop. Very fast and very quiet focus and effective stabilizer although slightly "lazy" in getting into action when switching from the scene to the menu and vice versa (about 2 seconds late), but when it comes into action it shows its effectiveness (at 200 mm I managed to get down to 1/30s) and otherwise I have to say that although it does not have a large diaphragm or large macro capacity, in the close ups he does well by detaching the subject well and blurring the background with dignity. sent on March 28, 2021 |
 | Canon EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Pros: Assembly, metal bayonet, stabilizer, silent, sharpness, weight, price on used Cons: Obvious color sketches without correction in the car, resistance to flare not received, Paraluce not supplied (Canon will never learn) Opinion: Bought used for less than 80th white box so for the price at which I paid it I can not complain much. I go against the current to the other reviews since mine seems to be a good specimen. Construction Would say excellent as the EF-M 22 mm, so almost completely metal (except the inner barrel), solid, light and not too unbalanced on a Canon EOS M100. The internal AF I found it very quiet and fast, at 55 mm you have macro capabilities slightly better than 22 mm, sharpness to f/8 is great on all focal points (as I expect to this diaphragm), sharp center and slightly less edges, at 18 mm and 55 mm at TA I found the center sharp but the edges leave something to be desired, but generally the sharpness I found it decidedly good, just slightly less sharp than the 22 mm. However compared to the 22 mm it has two obvious defects: chromatic sketches on the agenda especially at 18 mm but fortunately easily corrected in the car, has a poor resistance to the flare so it is necessary to use a lampshade (not included obviously because Canon is tacit) which fortunately if it makes him pay little. Effective stabilization I would say: at 18 mm I managed to go down to 1/4s with a slightly noticeable micromove and at 1/8s with zero micromove, while at 55 mm I managed to go down to 1/30s with some micromove and up to 1/40s without micromove all in LV and without external grips. All in all I find it a great zoom optics for its price, better than the "successor" 15-45 mm, general image quality similar to the EF-M 22 mm but with a resistance to flares on the level of indecency, construction and stabilization excellent, let's say that with the prices on the used that you can find (even at 70-80 th) I would say that it is the only native EF-M zoom to buy if you want a native handyman without disturbing the EF zooms. sent on February 26, 2020 |
 | Canon EOS M100 Pros: Size, price, sensor, IQ, native 14-bit RAW, decidedly good dynamic range, range, ease of use, tiltable screen, Autofocus Cons: "Flat" ergonomics, mini-USB output (30 euros for cable), no electronic shutter, lack of some advanced features, no hot shoe sled, no viewfinder Opinion: I have owned the machine for almost a year now and I can draw my own conclusions so far. Altogether you can include it among those Mirrorless not understood but that surprise when you start to use. In almost compact dimensions you can't miss (almost) nothing since we have an APS-C sensor, a tiltable screen, built-in flash, HDMI output and manual controls. All in a low weight (battery included) that only makes you feel when you start to mount on it lenses a "series" moment. Starting from the defects I can say that the ergonomics is discreet but not ideal, it is not a big problem because it is solved with a lace on the wrist. The construction almost completely made of plastic I do not consider it a defect given the price range, but the absence of a viewfinder, a hot shoe sled and some advanced functions (automatic bracketing, electronic shutter) present in some of its competitors stand out. The USB output is mini-USB type (stuff from 2008) so forget to use a normal data cable that you have at home for your phone. Moving on to (numerous merits) make you forget some of these flaws that I have listed. The main value is definitely given by the value for money, for less than 400 euros you bring home a car that looks like a "toy" in appearance but that is actually a small monster. The 24-megapixel APS-C sensor is the same one used on the other EOS M so we have a high-quality sensor that pays off a bit by guaranteeing OTTIME images. The dynamic range I find it definitely good, shoots RAW to 14-bit native as well as good quality JPEG (average weight 10-12 MB), made ISO by its maximum up to 1600-2500 ISO, over holds discreetly while better not exceed 6400. Interface side is very smartphone style since they lack ghieres and you manage 98% from the touchscreen. That I find it of excellent quality even under the sun, from the menu you can access the main modes and here I do not stretch too much since they are the same as other machines, very simple to use anyway. The autonomy I find very good, if you make many videos or you exaggerate with the flash clear that you download first (after 3-4 shots with the flash already drops in half) but in general I finish that after the day I charge enough for another half day or so. Autofocus side is perhaps the top of its category: "only" 49 AF points though all at Phase Detection Dual Pixel, then VELOCISSIMO and damn PRECISE. Until now it will have canned a few times the focus, even with moving subjects behaves well, ditto in AF-C I find it quite fast (EF-M 22 mm). For the rest I conclude that for those who want to start or have a mule, it can be a good alternative to the more expensive and new Canon M200 and its other competitors. As long as you are aware that you have a great optical park but not very varied, even if it is constantly expanding. sent on December 25, 2019 |
 | Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 STM Pros: Sharpness, size, definition, color rendition, price Cons: Manual MAF ring A little too small, light chromatic aberration Opinion: Bought used with a one-year warranty from a well-known retailer, and is currently the optics I use. Being a lover of the philosophy of traveling light this lens turned out to be the most apt choice. Ridiculous footprint and weight that make it pretty much a compact unit combined with my Canon EOS M100, an excellent construction entirely in metal (bayonet included) and too good for the price to which it is today. On the optical side you can not say anything against it if compared to the price below €250: sharp as a small razor already from ƒ/2.8 where from its maximum splendor to ƒ/5.6 and ƒ/8, color rendition surprising and well balanced , minimum focus distance I would say more than good to take home some nice macro, TA lo blurry is pleasant and creamy. The maximum aperture of ƒ/2 makes it ideal even for night shots where I have not encountered many difficulties, no shortage of defects of course: Personally I found the manual MAF ring a little too small for my hands, I noticed a slight aberration Chromatic when shooting in certain situations of light (nothing serious, a click in Lightroom or rawtherapee resolves). We are not on the same quality of goals well more expensive of course, but I can say that the price to which is sold is perhaps one of the best goals and remains my recommended for those who want to start photographing being a great handyman. sent on March 11, 2019 |
