Canon 5D Mark IV Pros: General solidity, tropicalization, mechanical reliability, software reliability. Cons: Insufficient focus points, colors that are pulled out exclusively in post production, the most useless 30mpx in human history. Opinion: I start from the assumption that I bought it used in April 2022, I came from a 1300D, the step forward was immense of course. After 4 years of use I switched to R6, I gave in to mirrorless. And I want to remind you that I hate videos, I just take pictures. So I'll exclude all video information. The 5D is a solid, tank-like platform, resistant materials and paint that is almost impossible to remove. Resistant to driving rain, as well as high or low temperatures and dust. Tropicalized to the state of the art. Keys not all programmable, but they are enough for me. Let's talk about the sensor... The most useless 30 megapixels in history. To make landscapes, 30mpx are better than 24mpx, but they are not enough, better than the 50mpx of the 5DsR. To take photos at high ISO the 30 mpx are better than 50mpx, but not enough, better the 20mpx of the 1DX MKIII / R6. The colors are literally dead, on this the Nikon D850 beats it very low. Much more ready photos in just a few clicks. It gnaws at me to agree with Nikon but even as a canonist I have to be objective. Viewfinder, few points, that point is always missing slightly higher or more to the right to focus well, instead you always have to use single focus and then move the view and shoot, you can't focus in tracking on the sides, in motosport they are blasphemies. Luckily the viewfinder itself is really nice to look at, excellent prism. You can't afford optics under the L-series. This body needs high-performance and extremely fast and quality lenses to express itself at its best. Batteries, honestly the originals cost a kidney, if you take the Patona or other different brands and types of each sub-brand they last 1 month and a half and you change them like the tires of a sports car, and of course I speak for all the rooms that use LP-E6NH batteries. At least the 5D takes days to discharge. And if you keep them in place, they don't drain by themselves. Am I disappointed? Yes, the 5D MKIV is neither meat nor fish. He does everything, but never at his best. "The last swan song of Canon DSLRs" is a phrase that fits better than the 1DX Mark III. sent on 17 Febbraio 2026 |

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Pros: Lightness, price, size, soft and sharp blur in the center from f/2.2, spare parts perpetually available and at low cost. Cons: chromatic aberrations below f/3.2, slow focus (always remember the price eh). Just to be meticulous (although I never needed it) the window for the focusing distance is missing. Opinion: The first lens I bought since I had the 1300D, 7 years ago, I really did everything, it fell a dozen times both from tables and hands while I changed it with another lens. Perfect for those who want to have a simple 50mm, which costs little, with an indifferent focus if it is slow or fast (as long as it works). Cabbage that nice soft blur that gives, in my opinion, always comparing it to the price, from f / 2.2 creates a blur and a vignetting that I have always liked. I know that sooner or later I will switch to the 50L, but until that day I will enjoy every single shot with one of the simplest and at the same time ignorant lenses of Canon mom. Obviously do not hear of those who talk about stabilizer, tropicalization or particular functions on a lens that from NEW is to 150 €. The hood is plastic, hard as a soufflé and attaches to the lens through esoteric rites and / or macumbe. For me the plastic fantastic takes a 10, with all the flaws it has, end of story, an evergreen that always looks good in a setup for a novice. Absolutely recommended for those who want to buy the first prime lens. sent on 15 Settembre 2023 |

Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 Pros: Sharpness at all focal lengths, stabilizer, autofocus, hardness of the rings, tropicalization, blur, used price, vignetting at f/2.8 Cons: Hood a bit bulky, 82mm filters, weight (you can not have everything in life), slightly tending to red (easy to remove in post production). Every 2 years the focus must be calibrated. Opinion: A lens that I have been using for 5 years, inevitable, the basic objective to all the work done at parties, concerts, etc. Simple, effective and efficient goal. The return of colors is not impeccable, always a reddish touch too, wrapped does not even mind, but most of the time I have to decrease it by force. Weight can become a problem after a full day of shooting, for long half-day jobs I don't even feel it. Excellent and quiet stabilizer, fast focus and no frills. The rings are rubbed in a very good way, but they do not make me crazy when they are wet, they harden too much. Tropicalization also excellent, if it was not tropicalized I had burned it about twenty times, brought under water a lot of times, even in pouring rain, it always worked at its best. The fact that every 2 years the focus must be calibrated is a breaking of boxes, but it has so many merits that I can safely ignore the "mandatory calibration". I don't mind the distortion and neither does the vignetting, on the contrary ... I consider vignetting a plus point, I really like it as an effect. It is a lens that I will carry on until it explodes or falls into a ravine, otherwise I will never take it out of my hands. sent on 22 Agosto 2023 |

Tamron SP 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD Pros: price, reliability, excellent detail (before 200mm), non-responsive autofocus (but it is accurate), impressive stabilizer (especially remembering the price) Cons: Instead of "Tamron" you could read "Dyson" because it's a damn vacuum cleaner. sharpness that goes to 48 cards above 200mm Opinion: Taken as the first telephoto lens in 2016, I have not paid anything (€ 310 brand new) I have not yet retired. Excellent telephoto lens before 200mm with aperture fully open, from 200mm up to 300mm you have to go from f / 10 up to have a quality remotely comparable to the first 200mm. As I wrote above... you can put nickname him "Dyson" or "Kobold", he is indifferent, he always incorporates more dust than you imagine, on the other hand (I do not know how he does) even if he is not tropicalized, he resisted every photo at concerts or events where it rained badly. For the focal length it has... It's really light, its f/4-5.6 is absolutely right, I don't consider it a darker lens than others. The autofocus is reliable and accurate, but it's slow, it's there. The stabilizer is forged by the Lord of the Rings Dwarves of how good it is, you can shoot at 1/50 to 300mm handheld without difficulty, many complain about the noise of the stabilizer... costs 300€... In my house they say "vòi fà le nozze co li funghi?" I do not discuss the focal excursion block because I do not consider it important, even the focus limiter, I do not think that Tamron designers came up with such a cost even with the limiter and the focal excursion block. For me it is a 9, because it has flaws, it is not perfect, but to begin with it is an excellent telephoto lens! sent on 08 Luglio 2023 |

Canon 1300D Pros: Price, lightness, cost of compatible accessories, simplicity of the menus, arrangement of the keys, megapixels (in my opinion) more than enough, body that has withstood more than 4 falls from 1 meter in height and has never hinted at a drop in performance. Cons: Cheap materials (for what it costs is still fine), ISO that after 400 begin to give existential crises, AF with 9 points that from f / 8 onwards becomes almost unusable, to the point that it is wrong 4 times out of 5. Opinion: My first SLR, I've been using it for 7 years, and I don't know where to start. Purchased as soon as it came out, I didn't even know what a "manual shooting" was, it gave me the easiest way to learn how to photograph, simple and intuitive menus, few parameters to configure, few focus points, little everything. But this is both a pro and a con. It is a con for those who use € 2000 of camera body and are punctilious and sensationalist experts who appreciate nothing and spit on a camera body that is not made for them. It is a pro because in a single body it is able to teach you everything you need to start, if you attack an L-series lens it becomes a scalpel, then if you give it to him from f / 4 down he is not afraid of anyone. He gave me breathtaking shots, his megapixels are more than enough, do not listen to the exaggerated photographers who narrate their adventures while as a camera body they use the James Webb, who shoot the 50 megapixels on APS-C as the absolute truth ... they simply never compared its quality to the price, or they never brought the camera body to cover itself with mud in the middle of a via ferrata on the Gran Sasso or in natural parks in the rain or concerts in the middle of pouring rain. From the mother house the body is not tropicalized, but I went there in pouring rain to do services at the concerts a lot of times, it never gave hint of drops in performance. She has never missed a file, even if she only has an SD card slot she has always been reliable. Its weight is certainly one of the most important factors, it does not tire... If you attack the 50 "plastic fantastic" weighs nothing and makes a mess. The very small viewfinder I do not consider it neither a pro nor a con, it is a con because at times it does not even make you understand if the subject is in focus or not in situations of poor visibility (fog) or low light. It is a pro (in my opinion) in teaching moving subjects in the straight, you do not lose the reference of the frame, of course then if you shoot with one eye closed and one open you lose it anyway, but they are details. My biggest cons I give it to non-reactive AF points and ISO usable only before 400, for the rest is the camera body of the beginner, the neophyte, the inserted, but it is still a perfect camera body, but ONLY FOR THEM sent on 28 Giugno 2023 |
