The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Canon 1DX Pros: Robustness, file quality, shutter noise Cons: It's addictive, and now how do I explain it to my 5D Mark III and 7D Mark II that will have to "bench"? Opinion: The monkey for the 1DX was snapped when a fellow photographer allowed me to take "a test drive" with his. A bit like when a friend gives you a chance to test drive his Ferrari. Found used with 56k shots and made mine without too much guilt for yet another expense in photographic material. Super file quality (high ISO, I'm not afraid of you!); musicality of the shutter so beautiful that you would snap at anything you see just to hear it; viewfinder which is an invitation to glue your eye to it and observe the world through it. Of course, romanticism aside, it is a very heavy camera (coupled with the 24-70 f/2.8 you exceed 2.5, and you fly at 3Kg mounting the Biancone 70-200 f/2.8; after a whole day at the arena the temptation to ask for a consultation with a physiotherapist is great to fix the neck, shoulders and wrists) and compared to the latest cameras it is obviously less performing. But these are all things that are easily known from the start. I use it for sports, waiting to test it on stage at some concert or festival. Side effects: Addictive. Once I tried it, even the excellent 5D Mark III and 7D Mark II looked like "toys" (obviously in quotes). To the point that even when I go out to photograph outside of work, I often end up with the flagship in my backpack. sent on March 19, 2024 |
 | Canon EOS R7 Pros: Low weight, state-of-the-art technology, advanced autofocus, crop factor 1.6 excellent for getting closer to subjects Cons: beautiful in many ways but personally the feeling didn't click Opinion: For a technical and detailed review I refer to the one made by Juza on these pages https://www.juzaphoto.com/article.php?l=it&t=4682538Io I limit myself to my opinion: the camera itself is cool, like the autofocus with eye tracking and the recognition of subjects between person, animal and vehicle; but also many other features that make life on board comfortable, without forgetting the fact that it is very light and having to work on it for so many hours in the end the arms thank you. But... except for the initial infatuation, the spark never went off (the noise of the shutter is really terrible and the small size always gives the idea of having a toy in your hands) and after a few months I resold it taking the shrimp step and adopting a 7D Mark II as APSC. But, as I said before, it was a choice dictated by the lack of feeling and not by the quality of the car. sent on February 22, 2024 |
 | Canon 5D Mark III Pros: solid, shutter sound that's pure poetry Cons: those connected to a technology of more than 10 years ago compared to the current one Opinion: Despite having the Canon R7 as my main body (doing sports and music greatly simplifies life on board), a couple of weeks ago I went to sell two lenses that I no longer used with the idea of not taking anything in return and getting the money. But when I saw that there was the possibility of trading in with a 5D Mark III (with only 41k shots on the rump) I didn't think about it for a moment, I followed my heart and got my hands on this beautiful Gran Turismo of photography. Certainly a GT with less driving aids, old school, but still a GT. Speaking of engine parallels: compared to the anonymous sound of the R7's shutter, returning to hear the click of the 5D's mechanical shutter was like going back to hearing the roar of the old naturally aspirated V10 or V12 in an era when car engines look like vacuum cleaners. After the first releases it was love at first sight, now all that remains is to put it to the test in sports and concert photography. sent on January 09, 2024 |
 | Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Pros: versatility Cons: a bit soft at TA Opinion: I bought it as a "forklift" because my 24-70 2.8 saw fit to hang me at the beginning of August and with imminent work to do. Of course he does not have the magic of his little brother, but he still passed the sports hall test well and saved me a job that otherwise I would not have been able to do. Now that I have fixed the 24-70 I keep it as a handyman lens for when I go for walks in the city or picnics with friends and I still want to take some "easy" photos. Also because it is light, versatile and with a good focal range, perfect in short, not to load your shoulders with too much weight when you go on a trip. A bit soft at TA, the photos seem almost "kneaded". But overall widely promoted sent on October 03, 2023 |
 | Canon 6D Mark II Pros: Decided upgrade compared to my old car Cons: no one in particular Opinion: I needed to buy something more "performing" than my old but still valid EOS700 and in the end I am really satisfied with the purchase made also because at the moment the SLR or mirrorless flagships are out of reach for me. After passing the photo test in the halls, I can finally work even at ISO a little higher (800 or 1600) without running into the annoying noise. For me it was love from the first use. sent on March 13, 2023 |
 | Canon 700D Pros: Swivel screen, easy to use Cons: For my use, no one in particular. Opinion: I used it for over ten years before switching to 6D Mark II, but despite having upgraded it is still not the time to retire it. Excellent machine to which I am very fond, easy to use, with which I experimented a lot even in conditions that are anything but easy as sports photos in indoor arenas. At Iso a little higher it suffers from noise, but if it weren't for the fact that I'm trying to make a qualitative leap in my way of taking photographs, I would have kept it as the main body for a long time to come. sent on February 18, 2023 |
