canon_eos_r1Canon EOS R1

Pros: Stacked CMOS sensor, new Digic Accelerator processor, Exceptional focus, Stunning viewfinder, Image upscaling

Cons: for me no one

Opinion: After 8 long years in the pleasant company of my 1DX Mark II I made the fateful transition from the reflex to the mirrorless. I waited, but in the end I think I was right. Today, this R1 is truly something extraordinary!! technologically advanced, precise, fast, it has everything you could expect from a Canon 1 series. The new 24.2 MP stacked CMOS sensor is lightning fast and has 100% AF coverage with cross-type sensors. What more could you ask for? And here comes the new Digic Accelerator coprocessor to further improve the R1's focusing capabilities. Honestly, I haven't tested the eye-controlled AF, the pre-continuous shooting mode and the in-camera image processing with artificial intelligence yet, I'm not ready yet and the jump between the 1DX Mark II and the R1 is huge. And thank goodness that I only take photos and leave out the video, because from what I've read it boasts some specifications to be scared... The camera body and the location of the controls are excellent, weighing about 500 grams less than the 1DX Mark II. What amazed me was the viewfinder that appears larger than previous Canon cameras and remarkably bright. The storage department with the 2 CFexpress Type B card slots that support up to 2TB is satisfactory. Ethernet and USB-C connectivity is always present and the LP-E19 battery is the same as my previous camera. I have read a lot of controversy about the launch of this flagship, but I consider them completely useless ... Thank you Canon, great job!!

hasselblad_x2d_100cHasselblad X2D 100C

Pros: maximum quality throughout. The best that can exist on the market for landscape, portrait and architecture photos

Cons: you could say the slow autofocus, but there are many merits that you don't even notice it...

Opinion: In the past I had several medium format, both Pentax and Fuji but also the first Hasselblad X1D... but this is, really, another planet! With each shot it returns files of excellent quality, absolute perfection! Huge dynamic range and 16-bit RAW files, what else could you ask for? Then the wonder of the 1TB internal hard disk that allows you to shoot even without a memory card, nothing happens if you forget it at home! The electronic viewfinder and the 3.6-inch tilting touchscreen are also excellent, even if only tilting and not articulated in any direction. Thank God he doesn't make videos, but only luxury photos...!

canon_eos_rCanon EOS R

Pros: Magnesium Alloy body, lightness, ergonomics, sensor, digital controller, viewfinder, autofocus, dual pixel

Cons: Single SD Card slot

Opinion: Purchased last night in Kit with 24-105mm from Fotoluce to Catania. Unboxing exciting... the wait was great...!! The machine body appears immediately pleasant, well balanced in size and shape, already emanates signs of feeling good...! I insert battery and card and go... the adventure begins...! Menu in pure Canon style, neat and precise, everything at the right Point. You have to get used to the lack of the famous wheel, but in return the new Touch bar tactile promises well... He left me immediately amazed at the great quality of the electronic viewfinder, immediately sharp and bright, did not make me regret for the first time the traditional... The focus is, in my opinion, the real horse of battle, last night between the streets of Catania I took some photos with a very critical lighting level and the focus has held, well, proving decidedly precise. A real gem the new Focus Touch assistant that allows you to use the touch as the trackpad to choose the focus point while you are using the eye viewfinder. Nice idea of Canon who chose to protect the sensor by holding the shutter curtain closed when the machine is off. This makes it easier to change optics in an environment that is not always clean. The 24-105mm in kit seems not to disfigure... even with EF-Eos R adapter ring It behaves fine with 85mm f/1.2l II usm, 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM II and 70-200mm f/2.8 l IS ii. From the first tests, I note that the excellent quality of these lenses significantly improves the shot even compared to the new RF 24-105mm f/4l IS USM born just for the new system...! For example, in portraits the rendition of the complexion is maximum! On my profile I created a gallery with these tests... Only flaw, but not that much, the single slot SD Card. I do not do videos, so I can not tell you on the subject...! anyway, Good Canon! Promoted with flying colors!!

hasselblad_x1dHasselblad X1D

Pros: Essential, lightweight, small size, Wi-Fi and GPS built, new dedicated optics XCD and ability to mount with adapter also for the H System lenses, good range ISO 100-25600, touchscreen menu similar to those of smartphones, Sony CMOS sensor already tested with Pentax 645Z and Phase One IQ3

Cons: Maximum shutter speed 2.3 photos per second not suitable for those who make sports photos, the LCD display from which I expected a bit more, as well as for the electronic viewfinder XGA (perhaps those coming from the optical viewfinder is a little hard ... but then it is the spirit of mirrorless ...)

Opinion: Depends as much on the personal photographic needs, the investment is important but the whole system is made with the utmost care and quality construction. Hasselblad we speak ...! Shoot with a 50 megapixel medium format is a different philosophy ... made by professionals and creative! For the amenities it brings with it, this car looks to the future with courage ..!

pentax_645zPentax 645Z

Pros: Outstanding resolution, returns picture quality, thanks to the CMOS image sensor 43.8 x 32.8 mm. Great tilting LCD monitor that somehow can simulate the old medium format with the glorious viewfinder ...! Good AF with 27 points including 25 cross and excellent sensitivity of up to ISO 204800. Typically medium format cameras have never shone for their extension ISO, but thanks to the new sensor Sony Pentax 645Z can ensure for the first time this feature. Also are among the features connectivity Wi-Fi and Full HD video mode of up to 4K.

Cons: Perhaps only the weight for those not used to this type of camera body.

Opinion: The more interesting feature of this Pentax 645Z is undoubtedly the price: the camera appears to now the average digital format more "economic" in the market. "Economic" in quotes because it is always to spend $ 8,499, a figure certainly very high when compared to most of the DSLR and mirrorless full frame in circulation, but significantly lower than the cost required to buy a medium format digital back Hasselblad or Phase One , whose prices are about 29 000 and $ 37 000; or the price of a Leica S, amounting to over $ 21,000. Thanks to the 645Z Pentax medium format becomes a bit 'more accessible, even if the price remains far popolare.rnChe say more .... the dream of an advanced amateur photographers ...!

canon_1dxCanon 1DX

Pros: The bodies of the first series are the best Canon can offer to the amateur photographer and evolved and demanding. The new sensor provides a superb image quality, the size of the photodiode is well of 6.95 microns and the processors are two Digic 5 +. The new AF module with 61 points (Canon High Density Reticular AF) is marked by a clearly professional use and provides a very high degree of Personalization. Then there is also the novelty of the exposure RGB coordination with the new AF system offers a more precise focus. The shutter speed marks the finish line a full 12 fps. With ultra-fast mode you can get to 14 fps with a continuous burst of up to 120 JPEG images of large format (36 RAW). I do not make movies, but the machine can record Full HD movies at 1080p with various methods of adjustment. A real treat is the Clear View II LCD screen with high resolution 1,040,000 points 3.2 "which allows simple and accurate analysis of images and videos. Additional property amenitiesura durable tempered glass and anti-reflective coating prevents glare even in bright sunlight. I tried and I think very useful new integrated Ethernet port that allows quick and easy transfer of images directly to a PC or via a network to clients from live events. Have a look at Reflex.it who has published online the new tests TIPA on the Canon 1D-X. The test comes out all the character of this reflex. No noise until 3200ISO. Even at the maximum setting of 51.200ISO noise can be seen but the images are still usable. The customization possibilities are many. You can use various types of multiple exposures: Additive (Additive), Average (Mean) (Comparative) Bright (Bright - Comparative) and (Comparative) Dark (Dark - Comparative). The 1D X has a body very solid and sturdy. Many functional elements are implemented in two versions to allow for a comfortable shooting horizontally or vertically. Joystick and several rings of selection to help you navigate the menus, very complete, and the setting of all parameters quickly and intuitivor. The large nut on the back helps a lot in choosing the right parameters.

Cons: Only cons that I can find is the high price even though in line with similar competitive products. I speak of course of professional grade DSLR like the Nikon D4.

Opinion: What about ... is undoubtedly a flagship class which I am sure will give great satisfaction to the users. I think it is the best purchase made today. A camera that will surely talk about themselves! We can only see the good work done by the technicians to give Canon a truly innovative product. It will, however, time and history to give a reason ...
