The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Ricoh GR IIIx Pros: File quality, obviously compactness, simple menu Cons: No optional viewfinder, autofocus can be improved, cost of original batteries Opinion: Together with the Sigma Dp2 quattro (Foveon sensor) it is the machine that in daily use has surprised me the most for the quality of the file, really incredible if compared to the size. The dng is crisp, the colors are very nice, the light reading is excellent. For a long time I gave up the purchase due to the absence of the viewfinder, which I still consider very important, especially for the user experience. Maybe Ricoh could have provided an optional one (I mean an evf viewfinder, there is an optical one), which in some situations and for certain people (for example, those who use glasses only to see closely) could be very useful. Then there's the matter of dust, which can certainly cause anxiety, and the really poor battery life. All negative aspects, which Ricoh could improve on future rooms. However – a bit like with the Foveon which only works well at low ISO - this is the price to pay for having so much quality in your pocket. The files of the GR IIIx are mind-blowing and even at high ISO (max 5000), despite the visible grain, very pleasant. The Positive Film Simulation is remarkable, and even if you shoot in dng, open Lightroom, you can apply it to the raw file. Perfectible but recommended, especially if used under 1000 euros. sent on October 09, 2023 |
 | Leica Q2 Pros: File quality, crop, menu simplicity, price hold. Cons: Tropicalized but not completely free from dust infiltration. For certain types of professionals it cannot be the only choice Opinion: I sold a Sony mirrorless kit to buy it used, still under warranty. The first, great change compared to the past is the rendering of colors: finally real and not postponed. Huge files have great quality, while remaining a little less workable than the most popular mirrorless. The 28mm is a very beautiful lens, suitable for generalist use. Portraits can be made, but set and preferably keeping the subject in the center of the frame to avoid distortions that, although minimal, can not but exist in a wide angle. I would not go back, for an amateur photographer to have a compact quality without weights and bulk of the lenses I think is the best. For those who want to spend less and approach a similar conception of photography there is Fuji. On the question of price, it is useless to deny that it is an expensive product even if with the guaranteed used you can save. In the end you spend more or less the same amount compared to a mirorless canon, sony nikon plus a top of the range lens. I conclude, mandatory to buy a second battery, cost about 150 euros. sent on November 01, 2021 |
 | Sony A7r III Pros: Resolution, body contained but solid, file malleability. Cons: Iso estate (but in relation to megapixels is justified), original optical cost, delirious menu. Opinion: I bought the A7III which I then sold to buy this and keep the optical park. From a video point of view you lose something, especially when working at high sensitivity Iso where the smooth is sensational. The responsiveness of the autofocus, however satisfactory, is also less than III. The change, however, is convenient if you use the camera especially for photography. The high resolution makes all the difference, both for the ability to crop and "adjust" the shot in post, and to the overall feeling of higher file quality, really very detailed. Satisfied with the gearbox, also because in the video field the R still does well. In summary, if the main use is the photo, the R series is ideal, for video instead better to turn to the III or the S series. sent on June 20, 2020 |
 | Sigma DP2 Quattro Pros: Amazing quality of the files, black in stratospheric room, price (especially of the used), construction materials, simplicity of the menu and of the controls, lightness. Cons: Battery life, lack of viewfinder (I recommend buying the Loupe), needs good light. The Sigma Photo Pro program lacks some useful features like cutter and perspective correction. Opinion: The Sigma Dp2 Quattro is the camera that most of all amazed me. The quality of the file leaves an open mouth, absolutely another thing compared to rooms emblazoned with Bayer sensor. The images are three-dimensional, detailed, microcontrastate, that's what I've been looking for. They have a vintage aftertaste because they resemble the best photos taken in film. The machine is located with the Loupe (the viewfinder that hooks up on the rear, useful in strong light condition) to 800 euros and is already a bargain. On the used market the average price of the room alone is approximately 500 euro. The defects are those of the Foveon sensor: operational slowness (but in the daytime you can use it very well for street), battery life (having two is the minimum), maybe ergonomics (but then you get used to). Nothing really compares to the X3F (the Sigma raw file) that it churn out. You can shoot in jpg with good results but to get the top is advisable to shoot at 100 ISO. The raw works only with the Sigma program (Sigma Photo Pro) which is slow but essential. sent on December 18, 2018 |
 | Sony A7 III Pros: ISO seal, sensor, AF, joystick Cons: Post purchase problem at the motherboard, poor LCD screen resolution, still uncomfortable grip, tangled menu, optical cost and market used gaunt, but it's only a matter of time. Opinion: I'm telling my personal experience. I purchased the room with many expectations as I needed a great body both in photos and on video. After a thousand doubts, the choice fell on this Sony, of which I read everywhere positive reviews. I used it six days, with all the possible attentions. Until, suddenly the message "camera error, turn off and on again". I turn off the camera, but the inscription on the display persists. I remove the battery and the camera works. Two three shots and the message comes back. A little bit of use, hope it's just a passing thing and then once again. I saw on the web that the problem is frequent. Looks like the stabilizer. There are even those who tip the camera, from a tap and start shooting again. With all due respect to the method, if I spend 2300 euros I want a room working at 1000 for 1000. Maybe I was unlucky myself, but I saw on the web that the problem also exists on the other Alpha series. Update # # # # # Camera replaced # # # # disposed The initial rage I finally start to use it. PRO: ISO seal (especially in the video field), very high-performance autofocus, joystick, sensor, currently the best compromise for those who need both photos and videos. Cons: Grip improved but still uncomfortable (the little finger remains out), optical care and used market gaunt (but it is a matter of time), touch Limited, menu tangled, LCD screen with really low resolution compared to even APSC reflex dated. Conclusions. In my opinion the top is achieved by buying a body dedicated almost exclusively to photography and another dedicated to video. To carry two kits is however heavy and above all expensive. This is when this Sony comes to the rescue of the advanced photo-amateur and the videomaker, uniting in a single room The two functions, with a result beyond the average even if not excelled. Ultimately, if you want to switch to Sony and make videos purchased the series "S", if you take pictures there is the series "R". If you do both this to date is the best solution. sent on July 29, 2018 |
 | Panasonic Lumix G Vario 7-14mm f/4 ASPH Pros: Compactness, sharpness (but in bright environments). Lightweight and well executed. Cons: high price. A 14mm distortion at the sides. Not stabilized. Non-tropical conditions. dim Opinion: Those who read this review maybe you are wondering whether to buy this Panasonic 7-14 or maybe spending a little more, the Olympus 7-14. Unfortunately I have not tried this, but the ability to shoot (or turn) to F 2.8 is really important. The fact remains that the Panasonic is a great goal, very well done. The shots are spectacular freeform day, just as in the evening, but with the aid of a tripod. It is a lens that takes practice, you have to try and study the best pdr. sent on March 07, 2017 |
 | Panasonic Lumix G X 12-35mm f/2.8 II OIS Pros: Versatility. F2.8 across the zoom range. Excellent construction. Tropical conditions. Stabilized. Cons: The front cap it off easily and you risk losing it. A little 'vignetting in F.2.8 Opinion: A handyman goal, good for video and good for photos. Build quality is exceptional, the touch is a valuable lens, pity about the front cap, which comes off when not fixed to perfection. As I wrote, it is a good all-rounder, but if you want the absolute image quality (both video and photo) by steering of fixed focal length lenses, much sharper. This to begin with is just fine. sent on March 07, 2017 |
