The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Panasonic G90 Pros: Solid, lightweight, tropicalized, stabilized, ergonomic, beautiful, good battery life, conveniently located SD slot Cons: Contrast autofocus, 1.4x crop when shooting in 4k (30fps only), high ISO grip (like all MFTs) Opinion: I state that although I am trying to make photography my job, I am still an amateur and therefore this review will focus only on my impressions about a camera that I have owned for a year (and given the times of famine I will keep until it collapses on itself or until I win the lottery) and that I have taken almost everywhere and to do almost any type of photography. Starting with the pros we have among all: 1) exceptional stabilization (combined with Panasonic stabilized lenses allows long shutter speeds without losing sharpness even handheld); 2) good ergonomics, even for people with big hands like mine (but the battery grip would perhaps be comfortable in certain situations such as when shooting so vertically); 3) Lightweight but well built, it gives the idea of a solid tool when you hold it in your hand. The construction is made of metal and good quality plastic; 4) tropicalized and also good from my experience (I had the opportunity to try it both in the heat under the pouring rain of a summer storm, an ideal situation for the formation of condensation, and in the cold on a snowy day in the mountains and I have never had problems); 5) beautiful to look at, which seems like, but I am of the opinion that if you like something to look at it also makes you want to use it, and therefore to experiment. 6) good battery life despite being a mirrorless (for full day trips I only needed two batteries, in fact I don't have any others); 7) position of the SD slot to the side of the battery slot, so if it is mounted on a tripod you won't go crazy to change cards; 8) FHD 1080p at 60fps, 4k at 30fps (with 1.4x crop) excellent as a b cam for a videomaker, V-log; 9) very nice image styles, exceptional Leica monochrome The cons, in spite of myself, are several: 1) the resistance to high ISO, a feature that still afflicts the whole MFT system, is not very good, but the issue can be solved by buying brighter lenses (moreover, thanks to the new noise reduction function with artificial intelligence of Lightroom you can clean very very well even a photo with very heavy grain); 2) it does not have a joystick but only the D-Pad, which is actually also fine, given the entry level of the camera; 3) 49 autofocus areas and is of the contrast type, but despite this it still manages to identify subjects even in low light situations; 4) the autofocus tracking function is useless: if the camera was of the phase detection type it would have made sense to put the tracking function and consequently the lack of the joystick would be felt, but given the contrast focus, the absence of the joystick is irrelevant and the presence of tracking is useless (never used seriously, but only to try it); 4) the field of view is different, given the size of the sensor, but it is almost irrelevant unless one has to do architectural photography (and perhaps if one does a certain type of work certainly does not go on such a system but remains on the FF or MF); 5) a single slot for the SD; 6) the flash cannot be tilted on the ceiling but is only frontal; 7) 4k at 30fps crops by a factor of 1.4x, which may not seem much, but if you want to shoot a wide field it becomes uncomfortable Having said that, I think that as an entry level it is an exceptional camera, the kit lens allows you to do everything and a possible second lens should be taken only if you have specific claims about a certain field of application (in my case with sports photography I took the 35-100mm f2.8 from 2012 which is exceptional). I'm not going to get rid of it and I'll probably keep it until it breaks (another pro the 4 year FOWA warranty if purchased from an authorized dealer) and if the micro four thirds isn't dead when I have to change machines, it will probably remain my favorite choice. sent on December 31, 2024 |
