The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Nikon D300s Pros: AF, files, ergonomics, tropicalization, customizations, colors that returns, used price Cons: ISO seal, video compartment, shutter noise Opinion: I have owned it for many years and, despite having other newer camera bodies, I will never give it away. The AF is comparable to today's machines, the colors it returns (with the same lens) are something I love, I like it more than other machines that return more "real" colors. Carried around in the mountains with -10 degrees, as with the bora on the beach, never even scratched. The menu is very good and allows you to do what you want. The 12 mpx files are very workable and even with a little crop I managed to make books and squares. The noise of the shot is a bit annoying, not like you d800 or others, and the tightness to the high ISO alas is not the best given the age, over 800 is hard to recover the file However as already mentioned above, I will never give it away, what he gave me, did not give me any other machine! sent on June 04, 2023 |
 | Sigma 400 f/5.6 HSM Apo Macro Pros: Sharpness, integrated light screen, lightness, price, minimum focus distance, limiter, bokeh Cons: Tendency to spoil (and lack on the lenscoat market or the like, you have to sew it yourself), slow and noisy non-HSM version (but with already better limiter), front/back focus, sharpness at long distances, uncomfortable AF/MF ring Opinion: Needing a light telephoto lens for Nikon, to take anywhere, and that is "ready to use" quickly, I happened to have an offer for this lens that I took for less than 170 euros. I was until the last undecided whether to take this or the Nikon AF-s 300mm f/4 with a multiplier, but in the end the 4-5 times lower price convinced me. Unfortunately, such a lens has never been achieved in the Nikon house (I mean by autofocus), which Canon has and has been looking forward to for more than 20 years. I was also able to make comparisons with photos taken with the Canon 400mm f/5.6 and I have to say that what you read from the various tests is true. The sharpness of this low/medium distance lens is something astounding that I didn't even think of. Already from 5.6 is good, at f8 it is great. By the way the bokeh at 5.6 personally I like it. Unfortunately over high distances it shows its limits. it is also to be said that compared to the Canon it is a bit of a snail and is quite noisy, however with the limiter it allows you to go from infinite-6meters-infinite in just under a second, which for me is enough, given also the price of the lens. I also find the light screen very comfortable, I needed a backpack lens attached to the camera, which was "ready" just pulled out of the backpack and attach the lampshed (tried with different such as the sigma 150-500 or the 150-600) takes away several important seconds. the limiter is then very comfortable to reach while shooting freehand. less convenient instead is the ring to switch from autofocus to manual focus, put in a position that does not allow you to "switch" it while you photograph it. Another point in favor is the minimum focus distance at 1.60meters, which allows very good photos even to insects a little larger, such as butterflies, dragonflies, mantises, etc., which with a 150-500 I could almost never get acceptable results. The main sore point of this objective is the fact that the barrel unfortunately spoils with little, despite all the precautions taken. So I tried to search the web for a suitable lenscoat but I had to note that for this telephoto lens they never made any, so I had to arrange with my own hands (in the end less than 20 euros of special fabric is enough). Another small piece of information: suffers from f/b focus in a fairly heavy way, adjusted in the car anyway not by problems, mine has +16. In spite of everything I find it excellent as a second canvas, on those occasions when you need an excellent canvas to keep in the backpack, which is fine freehand and you can not take away heavy and uncomfortable targetses, such as for a walk in the mountains, or by boat or on other occasions. Highly recommended! sent on February 05, 2021 |
 | Nikon D5500 Pros: Light, 24Mp sensor, wifi, orientable screen, 39 af points, high ISO (but not very high) noise Cons: Lack of a second ring Opinion: Beautiful machine, it gave me so many small satisfactions. The price at which I took it new (almost 900 euros with the kit) is more than justified. Light and very versatile, it's good for both a hike in the mountains, for photo hunting, and indoors. It lacks a few extra key that would help you but you still live with it. The second ring, however, for me is a lack that you feel a little, but from display it resolves. To be an entry-level aps-C resists iso, I took pictures of 6400 ISO that surprised me. Used to 12Mp machines, with this you no longer have a crop limitation. Finally, the 39 autofocus points are perfect for most situations where I happen to shoot. Overall it is a great machine, perfect in any situation. sent on June 06, 2020 |
