The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Nikon Z fc Pros: very good image quality, high ISO hold, more than reasonable battery life, lightweight, with 16-50 zoom "almost" compact although not small, 360-degree swivel monitor Cons: very uncomfortable handle, some saving details (battery door), unlit buttons, ISO-AUTO function not accessible from dial Opinion: I went to watch it live, and I fell in love with it at first sight. If that's right for you, its old style is delicious, Nikon was good. Good and clever: she could have skimped a little less with the materials, unfortunately the feeling of plasticity in the hand is evident; some details (the door of the card and the battery) are at the limit of the cinesata, too bad. In use all in all it is satisfying; the rear screen (thankfully!) rotates vertically and horizontally, and it's a nice convenience. However, the handle is not comfortable; forget about the ergonomic shapes of modern machines. Too bad for the "AUTO ISO" function that is not on the sensitivity ring, and that to be activated requires an intervention on the menu losing a lot in immediacy. Another negative aspect, the unlit buttons (but does it cost so much to do them?). The viewfinder is clear enough. I took it with the pancake 16-50, whose compactness makes it comfortable even to take with you even in non-working environments. Coming to the most important aspect, the judgment is excellent; the file produced is of a good level, and despite the plasticity the optics are sharp. Up to 2000 asa noise is more than acceptable. Too bad that (even on this) the native JPG is unwatchable, camera manufacturers (everyone!) should go to class from those of smartphones. sent on February 12, 2022 |
 | Nikon Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Pros: sharpness, compactness, stabilization Cons: max limited aperture, collapsible opening, plastic Opinion: overall, a gem... optical rendering of all respect for a handy and light pancake. its limited size makes it an excellent choice for a "road" kit. too bad for the strong feeling of plasticity, and for the initial shot necessary that could make you miss the moment. anyway, a great lens! sent on February 12, 2022 |
 | Panasonic Lumix LX100 II Pros: compact, pretty, pretty good pictures Cons: unnecessarily complicated, limited focal excursion, ridiculous battery, too slow electric zoom, non-reclining monitor Opinion: I took this car when I was still using SLRs; the possibility of carrying a much lighter and more compact device tempted me a lot. after (at least) three years, I would say that love has not blossomed: the menu is complicated and antiintuitive, with each exit we can waste time; the battery is ridiculously limited, it can safely show you the full monitor and leave you on foot ten minutes later. all this makes you want to keep it in your pocket. it is only a pity that this market "niche" (that of professional pocket appliances) is completely ignored by all brands; there are very few alternatives to this LX100 II. anyway, I wouldn't buy it back. sent on January 21, 2021 |
 | Sony FE 70-200 f/4 G OSS Pros: sharpness, lightness Cons: Nothing Opinion: If you don't need it at all costs (literally) the 2.8, this Sony f/4 offers an excellent alternative to half the price of the "brother". The lens is engraved, the AF very fast, the weight limited. With its stabilization I can use it freehand even with relatively long times even I, despite not having a particularly firm hand. sent on August 09, 2020 |
 | Nikon D780 Pros: the product file is nice, the machine looks solid, the wifi connection works well Cons: price still exaggerated today, absence of a lot of functions (it even lacks stabilization!), size, weight Opinion: premise, I did not buy the machine but I tried it for a few days, ready to think again about my skepticism about this attempt by Nikon to bring the advantages of ML in the SLR world. Alas, in the end I can say that I find myself with an even worse judgment. This "hybrid" produces excellent files, up to the most demanding demands, but in the end it is a product that more than combines the advantages of the two systems, combines the disadvantages. The SLR world carries with it the considerable weight, size, front/back focus problems while also losing stabilization, built-in flash, joystick and battery grip: all serious and, in 2020, unacceptable. I don't make videos, but I think the noise of the AF in shooting using older optics could be a problem. When used with the viewfinder (only serious use in my opinion of a camera) the AF module is limited, and after you get used to the entire frame of ML is a disconcerting difference. The advantages of the mirrorless world (like eyeAF) you can only have them with the monitor (and when there is so much light, for example on snow?). all this, another sore note, at a price still really absurd, off the market. My final advice? If you really want to count on the improvements of the new system without a mirror, then switch without delay to the new Z - system with completely different potentials - and cut the bridges with the past, however painful it may be. But then not too much: a 24-70 Z6 kit currently costs almost equal! sent on August 09, 2020 |
 | Sony FE 12-24mm f/4 G Pros: sharp, compact, well-built, focal up to 12mm Cons: a little flare in the backlight Opinion: Fabulous, I love wide-anglers I fell in love with it right away, it's a pleasure to use it. The overall yield is great. I see that there are those who complain about the price, certainly it does not cost little but it is worth the whole figure up to the last penny. The only flaw I find is that little flare that occasionally peeps into the backlights. Overall: but why didn't I take it before?!? sent on March 10, 2020 |
 | Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS Pros: sharpness, excursion up to 105, speed af Cons: Size Opinion: I am very happy with this slow, sharp and well built. the distortion is very limited to all focal lengths, the af is very quiet and very fast. it's worth everything it costs, even more. too bad just for its size, which in my opinion worsens a bit the compactness of Sony's ML system. In conclusion, a view that I would buy again tomorrow! sent on January 04, 2020 |
 | Sony A9 Pros: the state-of-the-art of modern photography. It has everything, spatial AF, compactness and lightness, quietness, long-lasting battery, amount of customizations, double slots, (almost) perfection! And the price: it now costs half of the Canikon flagships, and is worth much more! Cons: as I say in the review, I find that the JPG produced natively is too far from the result of the same RAW file developed in PP with software. Opinion: A monster. The A9 is literally, and simply, a monster. From 2012 to 2018 I used a Nikon D4; to stay in the yellow house, last winter I switched to Z6, in the (vain) hope that it would develop its ML system. Needing a mature system, as well as a level machine, I just had to land at Sony, and my only regret is that I didn't do it right away. Coming to the point, the A9 is what any photographer could wish for; combines the undeniable advantages of the ML system (silent and AF shot all over the frame just to say a few) to an autofocus system that is unprecedented in the world of photography. As the technicians of this house did, I do not know; the reality is that those who own it can count on an extraordinary tool, able to facilitate the work of those who work with photography and do not talk to us unnecessarily as some little boy on this forum often throws himself to cheer for a brand or for an a Lter. I waited two months to write this review, I wanted to give myself time to be able to make a reasoned judgment. And sensibly I say that I am based: the AF of this machine practically does not miss a shot, the tracking is spatial, the photographer just has to think about the framing. Even in situations really on the edge (very low lighting or backlight with the subject on the edge) is a tank, I have no words. Batteries last a long time, and the machine is full of buttons ready for any customization possible. Defects? I can think of one: while the RAW file is great, just as you can't say about the JPG, maybe I still haven't figured out how to set it, but the difference with a RAW developed with a specific software (use C1) still I have not managed to limar. In conclusion: thanks to the exit of the A9II today this machine can be found at about 3,000 euros; any photographer who is minimally able to use it, and not only able to write on a forum, at this figure should at least try it before speaking. sent on January 04, 2020 |
 | Rollei C5i Pros: light, compact, fine-finished, stable enough Cons: as far as stability is concerned, we are at the limit. Opinion: Compact and transportable, I would say it's the ideal companion for a mirrorless: my Z6 with 14-30 is all right. Coming from a Manfrotto 190, the improvement on this front is significant. The main factor for an easel is still stability, and here I would say that we are (almost) at the limit. It does its job, but I wouldn't go on even lighter models. sent on November 05, 2019 |
 | Nikon Z 14-30mm f/4 S Pros: compactness, sharpness Cons: a little flare in the backlights Opinion: this view has provoked countless discussions, which, based on my experience, I can safely say that I do not understand. The shots made with this 14-30 are beautiful, sharp and with more than reasonable distortions. using it often in the backlight with the sun framed, the only flaw I would point out is the presence of some abnormal flare sleight too. in conclusion, I would take it back tomorrow. sent on October 28, 2019 |
 | Nikon Z 24-70mm f/4 S Pros: Sharpness, lightness, footprint, AF speed Cons: Maybe vignette a little too Opinion: For years I used the 24-70 2.8 reflex on my D4; Well, this new "S" optics is superior in everything. The sharpness is fantastic, as much at the center as the edges; The blur is normal. The construction appears of quality and can withstand bad weather; The initial shot of the barrel to use the machine is a mandatory step to which to make habit. Conversely, vignetting and distortion at the slightest excursion are felt, but nothing that modern software can not fix in a moment. Without maybe, the best standard zooms I've ever had in my hand. sent on May 07, 2019 |
 | Nikon Z6 Pros: Build quality, product file, lightness, ASA seal, simple WiFi connection with smartphone, stabilization, viewfinder Cons: AF in low light, adjustable monitor only longitudinally, price Opinion: With These new ML has returned the time of the great diatribes... And if before there were the Nikonians against the Canonians, today the sides have mixed together, with part of both in the curve of the ultrà reflex, and part assembled in that ML. The yellow and white scarves are one beside the other, and the old enemies of the past find themselves singing the same hymns. I? Well, I'm telling you two lines about my attitude. A year ago, at the exit of the ML, I said "what is this crap? How Nasty! That small, no grip underneath! And those barrels, mica are those optical series? And My reflex kit Fruit of many years of passion and sweat? It's a canikon conspiracy against me! " Six months ago I said, "to laugh, let me take one of these things in my hand." Four months ago I read "In ten years the sales of reflex have collapsed by 80%" and I began to think: "But what if instead of a conspiracy was just an attempt by Canikon to survive with a product in step with the times?" Two months ago I tried a Z. Today I use a Z6 (body + lens 1.3 kilos), and my glorious D4 (body + lens 2.3 kilos) looks at me perplexed by the shelf. Joking aside, the car is a surprise. Immediately you perceive the build quality, Nikon with this first generation of mirrorless wanted to do things right. The Machine Body offers a pleasant sensation of robustness. The menu options are many, the keys almost all well placed and with the right feedback. The viewfinder is spatial, only in full sun fatigue a bit, while in the dark it is unbelievable. With its 24-70/4.0 lens providing an excellent result, I did a personal comparative with my D4 and its 24-70/2.8, and as to sharpness the new wins on all fronts. The AF in the right conditions works fine, especially in AF-S mode. Another advantage is not just the weight: going out with this new is a pleasure. The compact size makes it much more manageable. The stabilisation ("IBIS") works very well. But Nikon has to work again. The keys are not backlit, and in the dark it's annoying. With the Flash (910) I still have to figure out the right calibration, but maybe it's my problem. Behold, in low light the biggest problem of this machine emerges: the autofocus, which is clearly struggling and which needs substantial improvements. Nikon has already announced an upgrade to that effect, we'll see. Then Eye to the dust on the sensor, which can be a problem. sent on March 21, 2019 |
