The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Fujifilm X100V Pros: Compact, sturdy, beautiful to look at, adjustable screen, beauty photos, usb C connection as data exchange and battery, good connection. Great for street photography. Cons: Ergonomics, solvable with a small grip, stabilization (there is) solvable with Gimbal, for Video. Warms up during video shooting. Battery life not great when used for video or keeping the display on for a long time. Cost, but buy a little gem. Opinion: Purchased in installments, equipped with: -fall and quick release strap, -additional wide-angle lens, -grip with swiss ark plate, -spare battery, and charger (Not present in the box), -Nisi filters set specific for the X100V with natural night and polarizer with stackable and rotatable inserts, -soft case, -DJI Ronin gimbal. I've tested it enough... It is a small beast, especially in the results, you have to learn to manage it to take advantage of all its features and options. It automatically works very well in street situations, where you need to shoot quickly without losing the moment. Not to dwell on it, we are not talking about the cinema filters and special modes, the ND 5 stop filter simulator that can be activated with a click, we are not talking about the hybrid viewfinder that is activated by approaching the eye and that can alternate with a gesture of the finger electronic mode and the analog one, fixed adjustable rings, both on the adjustment of the diaphragm, and for iso, times and exposure compensation (with the possibility of adjustment also customizable electronic) and more ... The burst is very fast, the keys and the joystick (small but functional) help in focusing and generally you get very quickly the customization of the keys and rings, simply by holding them down and selecting from the screen the function desiderata___ good sharpness of the fixed lens, holds well in backlight and gives the photos a magical sensation, I tested 1 of the 2 Fuji compatible lenses for x100V , the wide-angle one (the other is the 50mm if I'm not mistaken) and you lose about 1 stop , but the sharpness is not compromised. --- The screen is a great touch, it is very pleasant and robust although thin in shape, in manual mode , in focus you can have the vision of focus peaking . The hybrid viewfinder is great... Go 'try to understand it ... There is no stabilization, for photos it is not a problem during the day, for the night we know it is not really possible to do it freehand, for videos, I had to take a Gimbal (Ronin SC) to try to make some shots that did not disappoint me absolutely. Big defects does not have, I find uncomfortable (not made very well and plastic) the mode selector (M, C and A) and the position of the Battery / SD compartment with respect to the threaded connection, which, when you screw a fixing plate for a tripod and you have to replace battery or Sd, you have to disassemble it to open the compartment. This type of room is not suitable for everyone... In the sense that if you like to have a compact tropicalized always ready to shoot in your pocket and you are passionate about street is your room, you will not be disappointed, on the other hand, given the price and in any case the little versatility of the 22 mm that becomes about a 35 being a fixed APS-C, making it a use only by street (therefore keeping the 22mm and without adding grip and beautiful company) I would not recommend it to those who Buy your first camera or who is not aware of what they are buying. P.S. is a gem and the photos pure poetry. sent on October 21, 2022 |
 | Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM C Pros: Cost around 1000€ (150-600 Weight 2 kg. Settings and customization with Sigma dock. Adjustable and removable support ring (supplied rubber that fills the space left by the ring when extracted). Good quality carrying bag. Warranty 4 years. Good price on used. Good focus in optimal situations. Cons: Not tropicalized (but given the price). At 600 mm not usable at TA without closing the diaphragm at least at F9 (to have clear photos in the best case) Very compact support foot at the expense of the solidity of the manual and tripod grip, but robust. Focus ring that at 600mm. it is very uncomfortable, shooting freehand, because of its backward position, with respect to the central socket. Opinion: I am still testing the capabilities of this goal, bought at 900 euros + Sped expenses. ,I did some tests and tests in various contexts, shooting mainly on a tripod with a fluid head and mostly static subjects. I also tried freehand, I found on Nikon D810 good continuous 3D AF on subjects in flight on a neutral background but it is a tiring and calculated practice and I believe that this Sigma is not the best lens to capture small birds in flight. Before buying this telephoto lens, I happened to read on forums and reviews that at 600mm. this zoom, did not have acceptable sharpness parameters and on other posts that had a good if not excellent yield and resolution and I wondered the reason for these conflicting judgments. From what I was able to understand after touching it with my hand, shooting with Nikon D810 which is an FF spread over 36mpx, it is a good zoom ... it has its merits and if I have to admit the defects if you learn to use it there are not; you have to start with the idea that it is NOT a lens that you can bring in the dirt (dust, salt, water, wind, sand). Let's forget sharpness over long distances even at f22 if we try to photograph distant landscapes, know that the haze, the effect of heat distortion and the wind (micro-shake) will be absolutely our enemies. The freehand photo (for me) is not recommended, in order to shoot effectively (decent photos) you need to have high times, high iso, close at least the aperture at f8 or f9 and have abundant light to take advantage of the AF and try how the camera reacts by setting the best settings, the problem is that these animals do not pass in front of you, when you expect it, it often happens so quickly that taking home a shot like this, includes many factors including patience, knowledge of places and fauna, camouflage and the inevitable blow of the ass. If something can go wrong, with this lens, it will do it, the microwavy is not a possibility, it is a certainty (Quoting Michele Vacchiano, photographer from Turin in his test video of the same Sigma 150-600 C). Best use from my point of view, on tripod with fluid head, attentive to the wind, remote shooting and right light that unfortunately means shooting at times of the day and in places where in any case the exposure is never below a certain threshold, penalty, use very high iso or worse try to open the aperture under F9 creates in both cases, photos usually trashable. For its quality price, for its use also as a Macro lens (minimum focus 2.8 mt.), for its moderate weight and in the end for its yield I can recommend it to an "adult" audience who wants to try a zoom, understand that it is not at all easy to pull out decent photos and at that point there is the crossroads, you resell it or buy the fixed lights, after having sold a kidney and mortgaged the house waiting for the advance of the TFR ... You give how to play is not bad, on apsc moreover gains x1.5 on Nikon and x1.6 on Canon , in practice at 600 mm. on Nikon you are actually 600x1.5 = 900mm, but in fact shortening the shutter speed that will have to be further raised to stay on the safety threshold ranging from 1/600 sec. first to 900-1000 on apsc (shooting freehand). However the zoom is sharp from F9 upwards, know how to adjust accordingly. Good light and happy post-production! sent on August 23, 2022 |
 | Nikon D810 Pros: Robust and tropicalized, professional controls and ergonomics, excellent raw files, used price 2022, battery life. Cons: attack for uncomfortable remote shooting, not great burst, fixed live view screen, weight but you get used to it. Opinion: Purchased used with 20k shots, around 1000Euro with vertical grip and spare battery, coming from Aps-c Nikon D5600 and also having a compact Mirrorless Fuji X100V, I find this D810 an excellent Reflex both for photographic results, both for the ease to set the shooting settings etc. quickly and effectively, always keeping in mind that for excellent results it is a must to mount good lenses. That said, when you have reached the awareness of the limits of the D810 and shoot with the best conditions, the resulting files have very little to envy to those of any new generation mirrorless. To test it I took a set of sigma lenses, including the 105 macro, the 24 105 and the 150-600c, which for now have not disappointed me. Recommended for quality price and use of new and old F mount lenses. sent on August 10, 2022 |
