![]() | Canon EOS R7 Pros: 1) sensor resolution, lower than the R5, which creates less heavy raw to work with in post 2) Latest generation AF compared to the R5 3) native crop of the APSC sensor, with 32 MP 4) versatility 5) 4k video, and 7k oversampling 6) dual slots with SD Cons: 1) high ISO tightness 2) (relatively) reduced manageability of the p.d.c. Opinion: I bought it to go alongside my R6. The main reason is that, being a fashion photographer, the R6's 20mp is sometimes not enough for large prints. I therefore opted for the R7 because of the characteristics that bring it closer to the R5, i.e. those listed above. Both "cons" that are basically related to the concentration of MP in a reduced sensor compared to the R6, if known, can be managed with agility, both by shooting at not too high ISO (in my sector I don't go beyond ISO 800, but in very rare cases), and by using open aperture lenses. In short: good camera body, reliable and performing, excellent file quality (if you take into account the typical "limitations" of this sensor format). sent on November 08, 2023 |
![]() | Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Pros: Sharpness, construction, weight (well-balanced optics on FF "series") Cons: Reliability Opinion: Socket used, has no rivals for those who-like me-love the sharpness. I have the doc but I have not used it yet, also because I calibrated the optics in the car (Canon 5d, MIII) and therefore I fear a shift. Sometimes leaves to be desired for the focus, but only sometimes! For the rest, in my opinion, there is no match with other Canon 50mm, you want 1/4 want 1/8 (II and the excellent STM). sent on January 17, 2019 |
![]() | Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Pros: Bokeh, Colors Cons: Sharpness, minimum focus distance, AC noticeable Opinion: It's a good lens, stop. The colors that returns are pleasing, on a FF the cut is very pleasant, but I expected more, much more in terms of sharpness, based on the reviews that preceded me (although I noticed that what took it-rightly-distances): at full aperture It is excessively soft (for my taste), improves by closing the diaphragm. Unfortunately, in my opinion, also loses in comparison with the more "modest" 50stm always in terms of sharpness and minimum distance of focus; While, as for color and portability nothing to plead. Maybe someday I will buy it back, but for now I do not feel the need. sent on July 19, 2018 |
![]() | Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Pros: lightness, sharpness (including TA), performance, price Cons: nobody Opinion: bought used, and used almost always, I'm excited; I not resell. Mounted on an entry (but really entry) level, the 1200d, returns beautiful pictures even at high ISO, even though the machine does not hold them at all. I also have a sigma C series, 18-200mm stabilized, which admirably carries out his work, but - of course - there is no comparison between the two approaches in terms of sharpness and brightness. The slight aberrations and distortions are easily neutralized with LR or CR. sent on March 21, 2017 |
