The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Nikon Z9 Pros: Autofocus, file size, overall responsiveness, high iso (compared to Sony Alpha 1) Cons: Does not have live zebraing for highlights, card door opening mechanism Opinion: The Z9 is a car bomb. It conveys a reassuring feeling of solidity and is extremely reactive in every respect. The autofocus is its strong point is extremely precise, and in general invites you to use the optics at maximum aperture even in sports photography. At high iso it certainly behaves much better than the Sony Alpha 1 that already at 3200 iso begins to have a noise in my opinion absurd. With the Z9 I took photos even at 10,000 iso, which if well exposed offer surprising results for a machine that still has a huge file. The viewfinder is also too bright and I had to lower the brightness by two bars to get the photo corresponding to what I saw. In this case the Sony has the convenience of being able to set the zebra (flashing of the white areas of the photo) live in the viewfinder, which is convenient when maybe you wear sunglasses outdoors and you have an objective reference of the exposure. For the moment on the Z9 you can only set it when you look at the photo taken. Another small drawback is the opening mechanism of the door to access the card compartment which is less convenient than that of the D5, but actually the new system has left useful space for the buttons that compared to the SLRs have changed position. The side button for selecting the focus mode is very convenient and the whole machine and the three front buttons are super customizable. If you need a fast and reliable machine, the Z9 is your machine. Review update: After three months of daily use, I find myself having to add a "cons". In fact, the machine in low light conditions has serious difficulties in focusing. Although on paper it has a respectable EV reading for autofocus, in practice it does not hook or does it extremely slowly compared to when there is more light, I am talking about photos taken at night with poor urban lighting, and even when using the flash the problem remains because you can not (at least I have not succeeded) to operate the support light of the SB 5000 or that of the machine itself. The Nikon D5 was definitely more responsive and precise in focusing in situations of little or very little light than the Z9. I hope Nikon solves this problem with updates. N.B. shooting with the Nikon 24-120 f4 Z and with the Nikon 70-200 f2.8 G ED VR II with adapter for the Z system. sent on March 11, 2022 |
 | Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM Pros: Exceptional sharpness Cons: Nobody Opinion: Optical with a sharpness (from f 4 onwards) that I have never seen with any other optics. Really great value for money. Small, light, but very robust and very discreet, the stabilizer compensates for its low brightness and also helps a lot for videos. Great for landscape and street. Instead of the usual zooms it helps you think and move your feet before shooting. sent on March 17, 2020 |
 | Nikon F3 Pros: Robustness, reliability, simplicity, precision ... and in its own way beauty. Cons: Exposure calculation (but up to a point) Opinion: With the Nikon F3 (I have the HP version) you could plant the nails in the wall. It's a tank, small but reliable in any climate. I use it today and never betrayed me, it is the essence of photography. He has what he needs and nothing more. With old manual focus lights, you can work in hyperfocal, especially with wide-angle, and you realize that it's faster than any autofocus. The timing ring is one of the most complete analogs because it allows you to set manually from a 2000 'to 8-second exposure. The only "neo" is the absence of the needle of the tester and therefore the measurement and calculation of exposure should be made in mind. The small lcd marks the set time and the symbols (-), (+ -) or (+). But it does not say how much it is over or under exposed, so starting from (+ -) you have to count the stops when it acts on the diaphragm or time. But this & egrAve; It is also a special benefit for those who start, because it increases the awareness of what is being done and it makes them think about choosing the show. If I invented a digital backdrop to mount on the old reflexes, I have no doubt I would use it on the Nikon F3! sent on June 01, 2017 |
 | Nikon D5 Pros: Fast, reliable, super high iso. Cons: Complicated menu, good ergonomics, but not great, Opinion: In late April I went from Canon (1Dx) to the Nikon system with D5. I am a professional photographer, photojournalist for the accuracy and use of the Q5 by 20 days, and every day for several hours a day. Apart from the initial trauma, optical bayonet on the contrary, zoom on the contrary, inserting tabs on the contrary ... I have to say that this D5 is really a bomb! I've never been a "fan" of a brand rather than another, in my opinion trying to be as objective as possible. I must not "fall in love" of the cameras, we have to work and I want a reliable, fast, strong and as powerful as possible. The machine has a very fast and accurate autofocus, even in critical conditions, I took pictures (jpeg) to 20,000 ISO with mixed light and dark background of excellent quality. The JPEG file is lavorabilissimo and allows white balance, lighten shadows and recover highlights on almost as a raw file. Deontoligici for reasons I can not do other types of "hacking" but for what they serveand I am more than satisfied, I am excited. rnNel 2000 was increased from Nikon (F3 and F4) to Canon and since then I have always used Canon. Today I can not make comparisons with D1x I used until less than a month ago! Ergonomics there is no history, Canon Nikon beats, especially on the shoot vertically. The car is better than one in the hand and changing the orientation of the buttons are in the same spot, with the Nikon instead change. High ISO, Nikon beats Canon (but would touch compare with 1Dx mark II). dynamic range, Nikon (9 votes) better than the Canon (8.5 rating). Auto white balance would give a draw. Nikon has a complicated menu compared to Canon to then essentially the same things! With flash (sb 5000) Nikon superiority is rather obvious. With the new Nikon 70-200 2.8 I took photos impressive engraving and precision af, true that my old 70-200 f2.8 had two years now, I seem to remember, however, that so incidentally it has ever state. Now look vivies if the machine skins start to peel away as I have seen it happen to so many colleagues with Nikon equipment. I sure hope not because it would be a detail ... absurd !!! sent on May 23, 2016 |
 | Nikon AF-S 16-35mm f/4 G ED VR Pros: Engraving, weight, stabilizer Cons: A 16mm distorts much, reflections, lens hood of cheap plastic. Opinion: If you do not have the sun behind it happen (too) often get annoying reflections in the picture. A 16 mm barrel distortion is considerable, to make architecture is essential for the post corrective production but to nature photos and generally outdoors do not notice it. Af very fast and overall very engraved optics. I come from Canon the world, compared to the 16-35 f2.8 II is stronger and clearer, however, the lens hood is a much thinner plastic and seemingly delicate than the Canon. rnDirei that has a great value for money. sent on May 23, 2016 |
