canon_1d3Canon 1D Mark III

Pros: Top frame quality, ergonomics, infinite battery, build quality.

Cons: given the age no one ... maybe the shot quite noisy.

Opinion: Top machine, even today (2022) still has a lot to say, its 10mpx are few for the extreme crops to which we are accustomed today, but they are abundant and exceptional for printing up to A3. Beautiful colors, excellent shades and contrasts. The sensor has a fantastic rendering far from the modern and artificial of today. Good seal up to 800 ISO. The construction is excellent, sturdy, built to last, built to accompany you to the Himalayas or the Amazon. Tropical. Fast and accurate AF and high-performance burst. Noisy shooting even in silent mode.

ricoh_gr_iii_xRicoh GR IIIx

Pros: File quality, fantastic lens, compactness, pocketability, operating speed, hyperfocal shooting, it is used with one hand.

Cons: None for the concept... or maybe the collapsible target?

Opinion: The perfect machine for the street, in my opinion superior to Fuji x100 series in all, if you do not need a viewfinder (which can be purchased separately, like the flash). The car is pocket-sized and lightweight, smaller than a smartphone, for street reportage it goes unnoticed and no one gives it importance given its size, but she is a bomb always ready to take the "stolen" photo. Af not very fast but precise, Optics of great quality and bright, good seal at high Iso. Ergonomics is the top, comfortable keys even for those with large hands, three function rings available, designed to be used with only one hand. The lens is collapsible when the camera is off, this gives it an advantage in terms of portability, as it can be slipped into the pocket of the jeans, but in my opinion this construction can let dust enter the lens, it is the only precaution to which we must refer. For the rest together Top.

fujifilm_x100tFujifilm X100T

Pros: Design, hybrid viewfinder, focal length, file quality, rings.

Cons: Af sometimes inaccurate, menu, size not compact, battery life.

Opinion: With all the rings at hand it is always possible to keep under control the coupled opening-shutter speed, it would have been perfect to also have a physical ring for the Iso. Fixed lens of great quality, Compact camera body with some elements a little cheap for the price at which it is proposed. Hybrid optical / digital / optical viewfinder with digital screen the latter in my opinion not very usable given the size of the frame in the viewfinder. Shooting with very quiet central shutter. Embarrassing battery life.

sony_a6000Sony A6000

Pros: Photo quality, performance, operating speed, convenient and beautiful viewfinder.

Cons: Indecipherable menu, plastic and fragile construction, HIGH ISO seal.

Opinion: Mirrorless machine really compact and with excellent performance, shooting speed and AF really remarkable, good video when coupled with stabilized lenses. Viewfinder in my opinion very comfortable as it is positioned in the upper and left side and for those who use the right eye it is really the top. Retractable flash always useful. Light and compact machine body but a little delicate, weak and plastic doors. When paired with top-of-the-range Sony lenses it can give excellent satisfaction. Complex menu, not instinctive, wants studied in a way and with some voice out of place.

sigma_sd_quattroSigma SD Quattro

Pros: Sublime quality of files, sublime quality of camera design.

Cons: Operating speed, Af speed in low light conditions, held from 200 Iso upwards, battery life.

Opinion: The autonomy is not its strong point even if equipped with a 2000mh battery (it is known that mirrorless cameras are more thirsty for energy than SLRs) with a charge prepared to save on your SD card just a hundred shots. A lot of energy is absorbed by its particular FOVEON sensor. The autofocus is certainly not top-notch but not bad for those who shoot manually or do "reflective" photography certainly is not suitable for photographing F1 or sport in general nor, much less, birdlife. I, for my needs, rarely need an aggressive photographic focus but still remains inferior to all competing cameras. Despite being slow, the AF remains very precise and this is a compensation not to be underestimated. The image processor and the software take a few seconds to write the file on the SD, when I say a few seconds I mean from 4" to 8" and I kid you not, it depends on the size of the file we save, the number of photos taken consecutively and maybe some particular option activated by the menu. Unfortunately between lenses and flash, you can not find much in flea markets, the Sigma SA bayonet is part of a very rare elite. So for those who want to create a system on the Foveon must prepare to spend a lot of money, betting almost everything on the new. The Foveon sensor is extraordinary at a sensitivity of 100 Iso, we can push the camera up to 200, but from 400 Iso up the digital noise is very invasive, and can be compensated by an excellent black and white. We have 9 focus points selectable either individually or all together, with the single selection of focus points, we can select the sensitive size of the focus point, so as to cover a more precise or more "coarse" area. The machine has the recognition of the face of the AF, but attention is a help that not always its functions, often the machine does not notice the faces we are framing ... It must be said, however, that its yield is exceptional. Colors, contrasts, detail are very different from the digital to which we are accustomed. The raw file can be saved with Sigma proprietary RAW X3F, which is manageable only with the appropriate Sigma Photo Pro software, which is well done, free, and with professional functions but exhausting for its slowness (regardless of the computer you use). Saving in DNG is the alternative I prefer, I usually shoot with this choice, the files have about 130MB of information per photograph, and are well malleable in Lightroom or Photoshop. The sensor and its technology encapsulate the beauty for which this camera is worth using, its technology does not derive from an interpolation of RGB photodiodes with Fujifilm's classic Bayern or X-trans filter, but is a set of layers of the three primary colors. Just like the old films. This sensor is ideal if we want to allow light to pass through the three color filters to obtain unique and insatiable shades. The construction design of the machine is truly sublime. The body is tropicalized, robust, the function keys are as basic as they are perfect, they are all in place and after a few hours the feeling of ergonomics is already high. The SA lens mount has a detachable infrared filter inside, this is the only machine on the market that allows you to make this type of photography without drastic and expensive changes to the sensor.

canon_5d3Canon 5D Mark III

Pros: File quality, ergonomics, construction, price of used

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I had it for several years and it gave me a lot of satisfaction, exceptional file quality, compared to the MK II it clearly improves the whole AF system. Robust and reliable is a professional machine that never disappoints, today on the second-hand market it is a bargain and you can buy it at a good price. Excellent seal at high Iso. RAW files are no better than MK II.

fujifilm_x30Fujifilm X30

Pros: Aesthetics, functionality, controls, fixed lens, possibility to recharge it as a mobile phone, aperture ring

Cons: Battery, dispersive menu, the camera body for those with big hands, aperture ring

Opinion: Taken a few months ago, is located in mediastore at a really high price, you should take it on the internet or take advantage of some offers. The aesthetic is really nice, retro, with a metal body. The lens is sharp and zoom has the right to make the focal street. The machine has many features, from manual control to the various priorities, by bracketing the movie from time-lapse to vending. Very interesting variety of films simulation capabilities. Recharging takes place via esb cable so you do not need no battery and can be recharged in any way. The sensor works well, given the size should be about 800 iso. Sometimes it tends to create images "knead" m still usable. Useful and effective the aperture ring on the lens, allows a fast and effective adjustment, can be set for various functions, pity that the latter is very close to the body and is very uncomfortable for those who have their hands sore grosse.rnNota lbattery, that is close to good results if you are using the viewfinder, but with the live wiew alas not last long ... The fuji menu does not stand for clarity indeed some functions are not shown it in the manual it on compact menù.rnDigitale evolved for those He wants to travel lighter than the SLR. He does his homework and also good, pity that very much costs ...

canon_70-200_f4Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0 L USM

Pros: Lightweight, weather sealed, sharpness, depth of field

Cons: if you really, really ... bulk ...

Opinion: I bought it new in less than 600 €, is exquisitely well-built, the package is also a hood and a leather bag. Tested in a weekend, offering a 70-100mm f4 amazing portraits. The sharpness is of high level. Up to 200mm always aa full aperture the lens gives amazing images. I must admit that on full-frame can be used as a lens to be "street", just being able to see a little further ... The focus ultrasound is accurate and fast. I strongly recommend you buy this version smooth rather than spend twice for the stabilized ... double the weight ...

canon_5d2Canon 5D Mark II

Pros: Ergonomic and sturdy machine body to tropical sensor. HD video

Cons: Not suitable for sports photography

Opinion: I took this camera body used to 850 Euros! shuttered again changed the Canon help ... the best deal of my life! Robust and reliable, it has a sensor capable of giving generous and deep shots deep and rich. The barrage is too slow and the AF. slower than modern machines CSC super electronic SLR or more recent, but if you do not have to photograph the F1 or MotoGP daily does his duty. If you find a used a little less than one thousand euro it is certainly worth spending ...

nikon1_10-30vrNikon 1 VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6

Pros: Lightweight, compact, crisp

Cons: Dark, delicate, impractical

Opinion: I have it on my v1 and I feel good glass does his duty, but in the long run, buying and delicate game. I do not find that at all comfortable to close the lens rest must push the little button on the body. And a dark lens. He does not have the rings of focus, but we think the car! Recommended if you want to turn light, its focal length on crop mirrorless Nikon makes it useful for the street

nikon1_v1Nikon 1 V1

Pros: Weight, electronic viewfinder, size, value for money

Cons: Battery life, little ergonimica

Opinion: I got this machine to tile to my reflex when I want to turn light. The weight and its highlight, laps a day forgetting to have the machine neck. The electronic viewfinder does its job and has a good resolution. The sensor has excellent skills but not in the evening ... the noise is a firm conviction as soon as you pull the car a little, day gives extraordinary shots, many features and HD video in slow motion. Shooting incredible speed using the electronic shutter 10fps! Line is clean and attractive style leica. The mode dial unfortunately for those with big hands and easy to move. Today is just recommended if we pay less than 250 €.

nokia_lumia820Nokia Lumia 820

Pros: Value for money, AMOLED screen, operating system, interchangeable battery, micro sd

Cons: more than a pound and a half of the phone! maybe you do not have all the apps that are there for Android.

Opinion: I state that I come from an operating system Android.rnDesign fantastic, elegant and sporty at the same time, available in several color versions. The AMOLED screen has great colors and deep black of the iPhone much better and correct. The dimensions are not binding but its weight yes, we say that there are no phones ... The lightest touch is appealing the speed with which the smartphone is behind you as you write a message is impressive, while Android if you were too fast you do not took the letter ... Windows Phone will not lock ... never mind ... So Microdoft Android and Nokia have done a pairing importantly, I thought the menu tile pit but worse in the long run proves to be more direct than in Ios and Android because it has the ability to enlarge or shrink them. The rear camera is decent (not born in the photo) the front is really poor, other devices have better. But Nokia proves that he has made great strides with the photo app. Maps can also be used offline.

canon_24-105Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM

Pros: Series L, ultrasonic, stabilized focal range.

Cons: Price. Weight

Opinion: He has nearly 10 years but does not show the focus with ultrasonic motor is very fast, almost instantaneous. The focal covering make it a classic all-rounder but L-series optics .. The build quality is flawless, well made, sturdy solid. The rubber graft EF is a sign of series L. The maximum aperture is not great but we must be satisfied that retains its f4 up to 105 mm! The focus ring is large and comfortable, the zoom ring for those who have big hands, it may seem too close to the junction, but it is a matter of habit. Makes better on APS-C. Good sharpness, chromatic aberration and vignetting corrected with one click! The possibility of full-time manual focus makes it even more comfortable. The only flaw? The price! but it's worse than it costs even more '! After a full day you get tired because of his weight!

sigma_70-300Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG Macro

Pros: Price, focal.

Cons: rnNitidezza, chromatic aberrations.

Opinion: Paid 130 Euros, you can expect? It covers a good focal length, the autofocus is fast in order not to be a hsm. Good workmanship, but the focus ring is so soft ... the brightness is in the standart price and competitors. From 70 to 300 the minimum distance of 1.5 m is fire, but by activating the macro mode, which is activated from 200 to 300 we can approach up to 95 cm! On the barrel we have the distance scale and the magnification ratio of up to 1:2. The lever of the macro if you are not at the right focus and focal length are not active and if you have not noticed you are likely to break it. Lens hood included in the price!

sigma_17-70macro_osSigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC OS HSM Macro

Pros: Money, bright, sharp, ultrasonic motor.

Cons: There is no manual focusing even in autofocus.

Opinion: Costa the right engine hsm fast and precise autofocus faster and canon 17-85, missing the focus in autofocus mode, but given the price details are fairly bright with a 2.8 interest, which can be locked so it does not stretch while walking, excellent stabilizer up to three stops working well and feels good finish recommended. Never had problems with the front or back focus. Interesting possibility to do macro, focuses on up to a few cm from the vetro.rnOttimo purchase!

canon_efs_18-55is_v2Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II

Pros: Lightweight, compact, price stabilized.

Cons: AF capricious, MF Dial embarrassing.

Opinion: And 'the lens of many kits. For a photographer so much that after a while, 'it seems that his focus is not enough and often falls back on a longer lens. The stabilizer helps especially at the maximum focal length, the AF is a bit inaccurate in low light. The ring of MF have put in the most awkward and is a little too "soft", the final part of the lens rotates in focus and thus any lens hood. It is the lens that allows you to make the first photo with the car you bought and you can not expect who knows ... is still a good lens, it gets worse ...

tamron_18-200_v2Tamron AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II

Pros: Quality / price ratio.

Cons: Sharpness at maximum focal AF slow.

Opinion: Good to lug everything to do with it. Its focal range allows you to have fun. Optics ideal for those who want the convenience and is not too demanding for the sharpness. Rugged construction features locking to zoom in so that when one walks alone does not stretch with the weight. The 'AF is quite accurate but in poor light is in crisis. Tamron also offers the hood, robust and without yoke. All in all worth what it costs.

canon_efs_17-85Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM

Pros: Motor usm, stabilizer, the focal range.

Cons: Dark, zoom "give up" without a block.

Opinion: Aim to have everything to do with it, so much suffering to 17 mm of distortion, the brightness is not his forte but luckily the stabilizer helps a lot and you can recover some stop increasing the time as long as you shoot a static subject especially in the evening. The ultrasonic motor is quiet and fast (light permitting of course) the barrel is quite heavy and it may happen that walking zooming fall at all! Nothing bad but sin that canon has not already equipped with a lock.

canon_35_f2Canon EF 35mm f/2.0

Pros: Price, lightness.

Cons: Af a bit noisy, not with the lens hood.

Opinion: You can find it at a good price too new, lightness and compactness are his forte autofocus found it noisy but quite accurate. Objective great light for the interior, for nights out and for the street. Good build quality, also the 35mm on APSC is roughly equivalent to a 50mm on ff, well reflects the proportion of the human eye. Recommended for those who want a fixed lens, bright and not too long.

canon_60dCanon 60D

Pros: Ergonomics, double ring, battery, swiveling display.

Cons: over 1600 iso noise can be fatal.

Opinion: just take it in your hand you are delighted by its ergonomics, all the keys are in the right place, firm grip even for those with big hands. The two dials allow you to adjust shutter speed and aperture quickly. Keys, and individuals dedicated to Af, shooting mode, ISO, evaluation mode light. Excellent construction. After the release of his sister 70d you can find a relatively low price.

canon_1100dCanon 1100D

Pros: Cost, simplicity, raw

Cons: Mp, speed

Opinion: Bought as entry level is a good choice for those who are new to the SLR world, has the ability to shoot in RAW but the burst speed is slow, jpeg improves slightly. 12 megapixels today there are very few compared to other models but are more than enough to print in A3 also create very little noise even at ISO 6400 compared to more expensive machines. Given so little resolution photo is cut to a minimum.
