fujifilm_x-e1Fujifilm X-E1

Pros: Low weight and size, good quality of files, good chromatic rendering and high ISO, simple to use and good general technical characteristics, good focus peaking.

Cons: Slow autofocus, ergonomics, low readiness between shots, mounting the grip to improve ergonomics you need to remove it to access the battery compartment and SD card.

Opinion: I am happy with the purchase done. I bought it used in black version, I must say that the aesthetic is very appealing, even if this dowry clashes with the ergonomics. It does not appeal well as the most evolved and contemporary forms. Overall I would say that it is equipped with a simple menu, intuitive, with the possibility to manage the various technical aspects of control and setting. The coupled with the kit lens, the 18-55 f 2.8-4 is very good. I share with those who consider this zoom the best kit lens ever produced. I own two other mirrorless and have come to this system to contain weights and dimensions keeping high the quality level of the files. The first purchase was the Oly Pen E-P5, with which I have not found a good feeling, appreciating the sturdiness and aesthetic beauty. The second I bought was the Pana Lumix G5 with the Lumix G 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6. Excellent feeling right from the start with the appreciated viewfinder (although the quality is poor) and monitor articulated, excellent performance, lighter and ergonomic than the Oly, but certainly more ugly and anonymous from the aesthetic point of view. Very appreciated the features that you can silence completely. You can take pictures in complete silence, which with the Oly and the X-E1 is not possible. I landed at E-X1, after reading and rereading reviews and photo blogs. With this I have purchased in overall quality and practicality. For my needs I see that exploit G5 daily, always on the stock exchange, on site and for the various occasions. When I go out to photograph, I bring the X-E1 with a park of "old optics". The Oly? For the moment in the window to be admired. In the future I would like to buy a pair of Oly M4/3 fixed optics to see if it improves the performance from a qualitative point of view, even if I suffer the lack of a viewfinder. I believe that the X-E1 is an excellent compromise between weight and size, flaw in ergonomics and the application of the grip improves its portability, but increases the weight and slightly clutter. I find a flaw the lack of a flap below, in correspondence of the battery/SD, which obliges the removal of the grip for the change of the battery and the replacement of the card. Recommended, so now is at a good price in the market of the used.

olympus_pen_ep5Olympus PEN E-P5

Pros: Design, excellent tactile impact to the materials with which the exterior is built, solidity, AF speed, stabilizer, adjustable display, contained dimensions, multiplicity of shutter management (automatic, dual priority, manual), monitor with Touch function, good quality of the images it churns out.

Cons: Lack of digital viewfinder, non-rotatable display (such as the Pana G5), button to open the flash too sensitive, lack of possibility to completely silence the shot.

Opinion: I bought it to replace a compact to use in the mountains and in difficult logistical situations, but when I took it in my hand I believed it. For that purpose I preferred a less beautiful car. I have the black version and I have to say that the design is great. I'm employing it for photos in the city (street, architecture and cityscape). I feel the lack of digital viewfinder when I mount old Optics (OM, Nikon, Zeiss, Helios, etc.), to facilitate the focus. Good quality of files that churns both Jpeg and Raw. The best of the DA Performance with quality optics (see the "Pros"). I am also using it with the Lumix G Vario 14-45 F 3.5-5.6 and I have to say that the results are more than appreciable. I would have liked that there was the possibility of completely silencing the shot, for Photography street and indoors is the optimal. To buy two more-three batteries now to carry; The autonomy is limited especially with the use of the flash. The stabilization system is appreciable. Recommended

panasonic_g5Panasonic Lumix G5

Pros: Pro: Compact, lightweight, versatile and usable with both automatic and A or S priority or Manual controls, twisted display, excellent video quality, good Jpeg and Raw (RW2) power and easy to manipulate in PP. Great value for the price of the used.

Cons: not tropicalized, file quality a bit lower than its contemporary Olympus.

Opinion: I bought it used to bring it to the mountain on railroads, and in difficult situations. He never let me walk, even though the batteries are the weakest side, but with a stock of 3-4 pieces you can work diligently. First I used the Nikon Coolpix S3000 and the quality acquired with the change was remarkable. Dimensions, weight, the ability to automatically or prioritize, or in a manual, are the strengths in my opinion and the use I make. RnThe autofocus, and all the controls it is equipped with. Very much appreciated dual-use twisted display / digital viewfinder. The controls are ergonomic and practical but probably those who have big hands and big fingers will find it more complicated to use the small buttons.rnThankly appreciated the videos that are running higher than those of the Olympus Pen and the P5. The coupled Pana G5 and Lumix 14-45 is great: good results in terms of sharpness, chromatic reproduction, white balance, and ...weight. You can walk around for a long day, even in the mountains, without being heard and endured. It has the ability to take photos in perfect silence without the release of the least sound. The performance is high with the neo of non-tropicalization ... you can not have it all. rnRecommended rn

panasonic_14-45oisPanasonic Lumix G 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH OIS

Pros: Weight, metal attachment, stabilization, sharpness, good contrast, good color, very affordable price of the used, hood and bag included.

Cons: It does not reflect given the cost and non-Pro lens features

Opinion: I share what I said before "IlTexano". I have two micro 4/3 system chambers: the Olympus Pen E-P5 and the Panasonic DMC-G5. Initially I used both of them with the M.Zuiko Digital 14-42 f3.5-5.6, highlighting the limits of this kit optic since the first clik. Not wanting to spend hundreds of eur for a "pro" look and reading good reviews - performance reviews and great value for money on this Lumix G Vario 14-45 f3.5-5.6 as soon as I could sought one on the market of the wearer. I should say that the difference in results is seen in the eye, from the earliest shots and without sophisticated evidence. It is slightly bulky than the Zuiko, but is well proportioned, including the maximum focal length. It is giving me good satisfaction, although for the time being I'm almost exclusively working for the job. It works well even at low shutter speeds, providing unsurpassed results. The coupled Lumix 14-45 with the Pana G5 isexcellent: results in terms of sharpness, chromatic reproduction, balance, and weight. You can bring your neck to paired all day without hearing it. RnTrusted and recommended for those who use the Micro 4/3 without having to faint. Rn

sigma_12-24_v2Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 II DG HSM

Pros: Good construction, good also sharpness, wide viewing angle (on FF? New worlds), excellent color rendering, good image quality. Advised

Cons: Poor resistance to flare with light side and front, I miss being able to use common screw-on filters.

Opinion: Purchased used by NOC in excellent condition (saving the cost to appreciate it even more). I used to landscapes and architecture (external and internal) mounted on D300. The control of the flare is not always possible, while using the hand-over to shield, which solves the problem with the light side, but when the light is on the front there is nothing to do. The built-in hood serves more as a protection to the glass aspherical, although I recommend to be careful and avoid head-on collisions as this may signal the lens. The solution to create the lens cover into two parts do not understand and therefore do not agree, you may lose the cap frontale.rnDa just the couple with even the D700? They open new worlds with its 122 ° to 12 mm. With a right tilt control of the machine you can control the distortion. Then the creativity allowed by playing on the distortion is impagabile.rnConcordo with how many have gone before me, good sharpness already at full aperture, is enhanced by closing at f8?f11. rnNon a lens it is easy to use for principianti.rnTrovo good color rendering for the use that faccio.rnNel whole a single lens, excellent value for money, like all wide and ultrawide, to the best of the FF. I'd like to be able to mount filters and in that sense I am considering to employ filters Hitech but I have some difficulty finding a valid supporto.rn

nikon_d700Nikon D700

Pros: Robustness, weather sealing, ergonomics, quality at high ISO, dynamic range, possibility of mounting optics AI and antecedents, burst 14bit, high dynamic range and clarity sensor, autofocus very valid, 8fps with MB-D10, flash acting as a commander, lever in eyepiece shutter built into the pentaprism, "sound" of the shot? real music, suitable for every field of view photo, buttons at the right place (a certain similarity to the legendary F100, which I own).

Cons: Real limit: coverage viewfinder only 95%, for people like me make up the frame to avoid cuts in PP.

Opinion: I entered the digital world with Canon in 2001, passed in 2007 with the Nikon D80, qualitative leap with the D300, arrived at the FF D700. I used D200 and D90 of friends, machines whose results I was not impressed. I also tried a D750 but I appreciated. I do not have optical DX.rnDopo reading many reviews, I decided to focus on the purchase of a used D700. After waiting for a few months I found an opportunity under conditions of a showcase and virtually new (295 shots) 850 € .rnEbbene, despite having tried about two years ago, for the granting of the photo shop of confidence, I found immediately feeling.rnConcordo with the positive is written by those who have preceded me. D300 and D700 I find it's the perfect match, the same battery, the same BG MB-D10, the same layout of the controls, you switch from one to another without realizing it. For now, I could appreciate the dynamic range, the AF readiness, speed, fidelity in color reproduction up to 1600 ISO. I think it will give me great satisfactionand I can not wait to use it in extreme situations. Highly recommended !!! rn

nikon_d300Nikon D300

Pros: Robust construction typical of the pro series, ergonomic body with excellent control layout, excellent AF, great cost in used, higher the number of points of focus (51), good dynamic range, remarkable burst (8 fps).

Cons: Noise in extreme situations, Nikon usual problem of sticky tires, high weight matching the MB-D10 (but you can not have everything).

Opinion: I come from analogue experiences with the F3, F4s, F5, I entered the world with the D80 digital SLR. I must say that familiarity with the D300 was immediate, and I share the good things I read in the reviews. Excellent raw and jpeg, actually I never threw a raw no fault of negligence on my part. Do not use optical right and what I make it very well in tandem. I share the view expressed in previous opinions on Live View.rnSono very happy with this body and I highly recommend, also waiting to make the jump with a FF, but not abandon the employ alongside.

olympus_om2Olympus OM-2

Pros: Compact, light, good design, sophisticated light metering.

Cons: Limited battery life electronic shutter that locks with dead batteries.

Opinion: It 'was my third camera, purchased used. The model is the OM2sp. The disappointment when I gave up completely sudden exhaustion of the batteries. It 'an integral part of a copious photographic system OM. Used in tandem with the OM1, do not forget the spare batteries when you are traveling. He works fully automatic with dedicated flash (type the T32). Exhibitions impeccable in all lighting conditions. Shot silently and with low vibration. A technological jewel era analogica.rn

olympus_om1Olympus OM-1

Pros: Compact size, light, mechanical, effective, wonderful design, works everywhere, vibrations contained in support: a complete system.

Cons: Nobody.

Opinion: It 'was my second camera after Zenit E. Sold for buying this gem. I am 42 years that I take her below, changed the battery once. I photographed anywhere in any weather. He never abandoned once. And 'the fruit of a fantastic project, combines simplicity with effectiveness and efficienza.rnLe Zuiko optics they offered me a lot of satisfaction, but one that I never appreciated the performance characteristics: Zoom 75-150 f4.rnSei years after I gave in what is now my wife's little sister OM10 and so we could take advantage of the park and optical accessories. When she left the OM 2sp remained a pipe dream for our financial shortfalls by students. It could buy used only twelve fa.rnLa OM1 recommend it to anyone who wants a basic but efficient analog in any situazione.rnUn board add a photo of the machine.

benro_c2580fBenro C2580F

Pros: Lightweight, rugged, stable, well-built, bag series, standard accessories, perfect fit

Cons: Relatively large in size (you can not have everything: egg, chicken and hot c ..), just if you want to find fault.

Opinion: After reading and re-read reviews and comments of all kinds, I purchased the internet version "T" at € 197.04 including shipping. I fear that the attachment type "T" was inconvenient to have to tighten and loosen, but the patent Benro is good: 1/2 turn and you're done. I was appalled by the consistency of the tripod, the level of finish and characteristics. Really good! This model combines solidity and strength with lightness. Compared to the parallel model of Manfrotto (MT055CXPRO4 over € 400.00) that costs twice has nothing to invidiare.rnPer the first mountain hiking we will mount the head Benro B1. I will tell you! RnCONSIGLIATISSIMO.
