The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Sony A7r V Pros: Rear screen, menu, lossless compressed raw, sensor stabilization, 61 mpx sensor, spectacular autofocus even in rt, programmable bulb, focus staking, menu, sensor protection with shutter closure, relatively low price. Cons: Slow readout, burst limited to 10 fps, no mechanical turret with autofocus settings. Opinion: Let me start by saying that my main genre is nature photography, landscapes and wildlife. I had some prejudices about this camera at first because of the "cons" I highlighted above, especially comparing it with the Canon rV and, today, also with the Nikon z8. Then I decided to replace the A7rIII, and, in the field (a 12-day trip to Ethiopia) I had to change my mind! Let me start by saying that the comparison was with the A1, to which I added this camera, using it with the 200-600 and with the 70-200 gm2, while the A7rIII I used with the 16-35 GM and the 50 f1.4 Sony-Zeiss. What really impressed me was the "sniper" autofocus in real tracking on animals and birds. I found it superior to the A1 and I would never have believed this, and this for the genre I prefer, that is the "set" animals (obviously not for the birds in flight where the A1 wins hands down). That is, when you have to go and find a frosty baboon or a small bird, or the head of the Ethiopian wolf in the middle of the branches and vegetation, the A7rV wins, it quickly hooks the animal's eye or the face even from a very far away and does not let go, despite the slowness of the sensor readout, but above all it does not make mistakes when you shoot. Basically, the percentage of shots taken home with this camera is higher, and you tend to "trust more" (in the sense that with the A1 I often went DMF) for safety, with this one less) and in addition the combined operation of the new IBS with the internal stabilizer of the 200-600 is spectacular. Other positive aspects of the camera, it has the combined "animals and birds" af function (unlike the A1 where you have to choose), the tilting rear screen that today is unique, practically perfect, you have all the advantages of both the tilting and articulated screens and no disadvantages, new functions such as the programmable bulb, focus staking, lossless compressed raw and the same excellent menu as the A1. Few cons, I would obviously have liked a read out of the "true all-round" sensor as on the Nikon Z8 and Canon rV and the possibility of using only the electronic shutter, as well as, of course, the possibility of a burst higher than 10 fps, but in the end who cares, when you need those things just use the A1. In conclusion, as a "second body" compared to the A1 it is an absolutely perfect camera, and it also costs much less than the Sony flagship. Unfortunately the "ribbon" diaphragm function that was on the A7r3, very useful for me in underwater photography, is no longer implemented (at least I couldn't find it). sent on November 04, 2023 |
 | Nikon AF-S 400mm f/2.8 D ED II Pros: Optical quality Cons: Heavy and unbalanced, unusable freehand Opinion: In my opinion today it does not make sense because it is outclassed in everything by the new model in fluorite, which not only weighs more than a kilo less, but above all is not unbalanced forward, which makes this open-handed lens, unless it is mister universe. It can only make sense if you think about using it with the monopod but it applies only to those who do sports, for photos of nature and wildlife not, because in many situations it is necessary to be able to shoot freehand. If you plan to use it for wildlife only with the stand orienting on the old models for the budget then it is much better to orient yourself on the 600 mm f 4 (more versatile in bird life and better duplicated) or on the old model of the 500 mm f4, which also has the merit of being ut Freehand as it is not unbalanced and weighs only 3.7 kg. sent on August 23, 2019 |
