nikon_d850Nikon D850

Pros: Construction (finally without the plasticone flash), Ergonomics, Technological, Af, wi-fi, display, sensor (46mpx, dynamics, colors)

Cons: Sensor (ISO), price, not the transition from its ancestors

Opinion: Proven. What can I say, beautiful machine but from the use according to me very limited. Already at 1000 ISO much, too much noise with an obvious flattening of the image. For the rest is undoubtedly the TOP (also in the price), construction and ergonomics perfect, af lightning and precise, wifi, display. A 64-100 ISO has an incredible resolution, especially when used with worthy objectives, such as the Art and a dynamic range and depth of impressive colors. In my opinion it's the new d3x, fantastic but not eclectic. I definitely do not recommend switching from d800 / d800E / d810 / d810A, it's not worth it.

sigma_135_f1-8artSigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art

Pros: Impressive ever 1.8 ", beautiful bokeh, impeccable construction, fast af, USB dock, tropicalized, value for money

Cons: Absolutely unavailable (if we just want to miss the OS)

Opinion: Sharp since 1.8, beautiful bokeh, no distortion, aberrations and flare as well. Optically represents perfection. He is heavy but constructively impeccable and tropicalized. It does not come out of the box, the AF is tuned, with the very low depth of field at 1.8 every thing is known, but then becomes silent and immediate precise. With the dock then you can upgrade the firmware and adjust the hiking and hardness of the manual maf ring. Better than the Nikkor 105 1.4 E and the Canon 135 f2 L. It's never far from the machine. Rating 10/10

sigma_14_f1-8artSigma 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art

Pros: Extreme sharpness even at TA, distortion absent to be a 14, flare and aberration control, construction, lightning strike AF is imperceptible, USB dock, f1.8, great packaging and accessories

Cons: We know them before buying it: it does not come out ready to pack, it's calibrated with the dock, it's heavy and big (but if you want the quality ...)

Opinion: I come from a Nikon 16-35 VR and a Samyang 14, what do you say? The resolution of this Art to 1.8 if they also dream about it f11. Optically represents perfection: distortion absent for a 14, really impressive that all lines, even the neighbors are perfectly straightforward, flare and aberrations absent. The AF is lightning and silent, of course it becomes accurate after having fine tuned it with the dock. The construction is superior to the original optics, not much of a lot. It's heavy and big that the d800's illuminator Af is eclipsed. CAPOLAVORO, only 14 f1.8.

sigma_18-200os_cSigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM C

Pros: Great steady stability from 18 to 200 at TA, construction, dimensions, price ratio, stabilization, bokeh, compatible with the Sigma Dock USB

Cons: Not detectable for a Superzoom

Opinion: I needed a superzoom for light outputs to match my fix kit and zoom 2.8. Obviously, you can not take the quality of fixed and zoom from this little excursion to this kind of goal. But this optic has not succeeded, moreover, as well as all the Sigma A, C and S optics. It has excellent clarity at all openings and all focuses and the stabilizer is excellent. The construction is great, the smoothness of the rings is very pleasant, the keys are very sharp, the hood is great. All this in the size of an 18-55. What to say highly advised, my had the correct maf. For the sake of taking it I compared it to Sigma 18-300 C: Bigger and Heavy, Fear of 300mmrn-Nikon 18-200 VR or VR II Micromax: Lower Image Quality, Printable Quality.

manfrotto_compact_actionManfrotto Compact Action

Pros: Weight, Price, Dimensions, Tripod, Removable Plate

Cons: Head

Opinion: Great travel tripod, lightweight and small, but stable and at a good price. The only real defect is the head that after a minimum of usage no longer holds an entrylevel with the 18-55, let alone a pro with zoom 2.8 ... the head is also limited in the movements especially vertical ones. Voting 5. Not recommended.

nikon_300f4_if-edNikon 300mm f/4 AF-IF ED

Pros: Construction, Sharpness, Bokeh, Integrated Lens Hood, Price

Cons: Due to age, lack VR

Opinion: Excellent optical quality also with current ultra-dense sensors (used on d800 and d7100), very clear from TA and also has a remarkable bokeh for the lens type. From the constructive viewing point is a span superior to any existing Nikkor lens, metal and glass, even one gram of plastic, and the comfortably integrated sliding hood. Unfortunately with the present machines it is hard to use it with a free hand and even on the tripod, especially with some wind, I do not recommend falling below 1 / 1000s. For the current price, under the conditions of 300 to 400 euros is definitely a must-have, especially if you do not get to use much this focal length.

apple_iphone6sApple iPhone 6s

Pros: Construction, Design, Performance, Telephony, Video-Photo Department

Cons: Unrecognized, price suitable for the product unlike the competition

Opinion: Let's talk about a bit of the phone in itself: you can not ask for it anymore, from the point of view of construction, really premium, or from the point of view of design, very elegant especially in gold coloring or from the point of view of telephony, Always great, and from the point of view of performance, never ever hit a bug. With regard to photography, if you shoot at the minimum sensitivity, 34 iso, without zooming, you have excellent results, superior to the compact, raising, even the little ones, the quality decays visually. The 4k videos are wonderful, they have a very good stabilization, the only problem is the memory of the memory (I do not recommend cutting 16gb, at least 32-64). With third-party application, as CameraPro also shoots in RAW, .DNG format of about 20mb, as good as it already said at 34 iso. Stoned, especially in design is clearly superior to the successor to iPhone 7, vote 10.

nikon_50_f1-2Nikon 50mm f/1.2 AI-s

Pros: Image Quality, Construction, Design, Construction

Cons: Irreplaceable ... an Af remake would be spectacular ...

Opinion: FANTASTIC GOAL! F1.2 pulls out of the pictures of fairy tale, a wonderful bokeh that the current G series dreams of. Already from f2 the sharpness is excellent, though not reaching the clarity of 50 1.8 G, which is a blade (these are two goals that can coexist in a kit). Flare and aberrations fairly present but manageable. Built entirely in metal on Nikon Df is a work of art ... Not to be underestimated that despite the 26 years of production (1979-2015) and the presence of new copies on the market is a circular check ... La maf Manual has a very special ring, but especially open diaphragms, perhaps with the confirmation point, the live view, or a nice FX viewfinder, you have to be careful. In conclusion the best 50mm for Nikon ... a piece of timeless story ...

nikon_28-70_f3-5dNikon AF 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 D

Pros: PORTABILITY, sharpness, construction, price, use with built-in flash

Cons: I would have preferred a 24mm

Opinion: Funnel of the Huge Nikkor 24-70 2.8 I bought in very good condition at € 40 this small lens for light outputs. I have to say that's just what I was looking for ... something portable, with a good excursion and excellent picture quality. Good construction, AF not integrated yet reliable even in the dark where you can use the built-in flash without having the unpleasant shadow. What to say highly recommended!

nikon_d7100Nikon D7100

Pros: Body, Sharpness, 24mpx, ISO Hold, Fantastic Display, 100%

Cons: Buffer limited but I do not need it

Opinion: I think as a sensor between the apsc is the top. Excellent sharpness, coupled with the crop factor of the DX format, and the absence of the low pass filter makes it great for macros and landscapes. The 24 milliseconds allow excellent crops and the high ISO is excellent: up to 25600 iso if well exposed the files are perfectly workable. The body has an impeccable construction with excellent ergonomics and weight and bulky contents. Sincerely though it's 2013 I do not need to spare it since i do not need the 7200's wi-fi and wi-fi, i do not give up at 4 mpx for the d500 / 7500 and let's stand the Canon apsc. Highly recommended. Voting 10.

nikon_d50Nikon D50

Pros: Dimensions, AF motor, yield, top display, low priced batteries

Cons: Old age defects such as small rear display

Opinion: By reckoning that I bought it 720nm infrared transformer so I can not express it on various aspects of the machine as if it were factory outlet. I have to say, however, that compared to the current level of entry (compared, for example, with a D3200) is certainly a winner in many respects, such as the fundamental built-in AF motor and the most useful top display, even though it lacks defects such as the lack of the second ring Entirely plastic construction. As far as I can say the CCD 6 mpx has been and is always a great sensor that shows great sharpness and with which you can easily take printable photos in 30x45cm. The noise at 1600 iso is also unobtrusive, but this is probably due to conversion. In conclusion it is definitely recommended even in 2017 especially for those who must learn is better at the current entry level and the value hold is very high. Vote 9.

nikon_16-35vrNikon AF-S 16-35mm f/4 G ED VR

Pros: VR, aesthetics and construction, 35mm, f4 constant, flare resistant (NanoCrystal)

Cons: Tires, Sharpness, weight and grip

Opinion: It was fine on the d700, with Df and d800 only in the center while the edges are just enough, with d7100 it is inguardable. 16mm is not ultrawide in return, the excursion up to 35mm is very convenient. VR is always useful, the aesthetic is beautiful, good construction excluding tire that tends to whiten, heavy and bulky. Personally I will soon replace it with nikkor 14-24 / sigma 12-24 art / samyang 14. Recommended for FF with a few mpxs, if you do not miss it, online price.

nikon_24-70g_f2-8Nikon AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8 G ED

Pros: Good average diaphragm yield

Cons: Poor open diaphragm open, RIDICOLA construction, heavy and bulky, absolutely worse than 70-200 2.8 VR II

Opinion: Good goal, nothing amazing, which is definitely not what it costs. Constructively worse than an 18-55, when still under warranty the brace hinges and assistance says it has fallen when it is not confirmed by perfect aesthetics. Restored at my own expense has hardened again and the technician says that you just have to put it firmly on a table for this to happen. So I doubt the utility of tropicalization in such a fragile object. Absolutely disenchanted, nothing like that rendered and very heavy and too large for what it offers. Certainly never the official guarantee and I will probably go to Sigma who has always satisfied me. Voting 5.

samyang_8fisheye_f3-5iiSamyang 8mm f/3.5 UMC Fish-eye CS II

Pros: Sharpness, construction, price, colors, effect, mf, aberrations almost inexistent, ap. Bright (though not needed), size

Cons: Still not found

Opinion: I've been getting this target for a couple of weeks and I just did the usual test to try a new objective on a stand, mounted on a Nikon d3200 and a Nikon d800, on the latter giving beautiful circular pictures that are not vignetted by the hood , In this latest removable version. Very good construction, with hood and lens cover of a quality that is not even found in the professional Nikon line. Color and sharpness superb to all openings in both formats, only flaw in large format slightly increases purple fringing, however resolved in post. Lowest size. Very advisable, also seen the price (paid new 230 euros). ALSO, THAT IN THIS LATEST VERSION IS PRESENT AN ELECTRIC CIRCUIT BREAKING EXPOSITION REQUIREMENTS AND ACQUISITION OF DIFFERENT DATA, Reviews that indicate the lack of the latter are related to previous versions or the Canon model.

sigma_17-50_f2-8_osSigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM

Pros: Sharpness, construction, detail, stabilizer, size, colors, bright, absent aberrations, excellent backlight, af fast and precise (used on D7100)

Cons: Weight (due to good construction) and infrared hotspots making it unusable in this kind of photos (d50 modified at 720nm)

Opinion: This is a central aps-c zoom lens that can be used in any condition thanks to its construction, versatility and size. It delivers really sharp shots (far more than the Nikon 24-70 f2.8), already from the TA with the highest sharpness already From F4 and with really nice colors. A professionally designed lens that is equally high on the Nikon range with the smaller ones that it does not offer ... such as the zoom ring lock used for photo shooting on the tripod and studio. Sigma Finish (other than the one above in the photo that is the old one) improved and fantastic af. Less versatile but brighter, better built and sharper than the famous 16-80. Aiming to take advantage of the many mpxs offered by current DX reflexes. Vote 9.5

nikon_35dxNikon AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8 G

Pros: Really great lens, f fast and accurate, sharp, focal length of 52 mm is perfect for Street Photography in which I work as the size and weight, bright, bokenh, TA sharp

Cons: Body, focus ring, lens hood, heavy chromatic aberration

Opinion: A truly stunning lens to always carry thanks to its small size and weight really insignificant. Versatile and fast thanks to 'af accurate, showing his indifference lens. Yield capacity of those and brightness suitable for night without a tripod. Body built cheaply even if it has a nice finish even at the sight. Lens hood and lens cover as poor in all Nikon lenses. Sharpness inparagonabilmente than 50 and comparable to the 1.4 24-70 2.8. Rating 9.5

Pros: Lightness, VR

Cons: Sharpness, aperture, noise, colors, aberrations, construction, af, Dark, Vr slow

Opinion: Target really poor and disappointing. Color rendering ugly, poor sharpness and build quality really poor. Use as a second lens on the second body to always carry is not that great: af unusable by ISO 800. Poor plastic body that allows a considerable lightness but a very poor quality. Subdued compared to 18 55 nothing to do with with 70 200 2.8 vr. Vr lento.rnVoto 6

sigma_10-20_f4-5Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM

Pros: Sharpness even at room temperature, distortion, short focal length construction, af, focus 10 cm

Cons: None

Opinion: Amazing sharpness and fantastic colors. Optics very creative thanks to the 10mm distortion and focus on macro lens. Despite the convex lens aberrations and you have a few reflections. Goal of building a professional comparable to the Nikon 14-24 2.8 which makes it heavier than the small size. You get what you pay for. Fantastic ... Sigma, what a surprise! RnPrimo Nikon lens does not ... excellent ... Rating: 10

nikon_d3200Nikon D3200

Pros: Sharpness even with the kit lens, portability, sensor, viewfinder, controls, metering, 24 mp

Cons: Noise in the shadows evident from ISO 200 and very noisy, Body constructed economically and approximate value for money, reliability, af Lv, color rendering, Scripture memory cards with even slow the fast ones, buffer, set by compact

Opinion: Definitely the best entry level SLR, here belongs to this category: plastic body built in a approssimativa.rnSensore with great clarity, although in some cases is slightly below par (fixable with a filter accentuates passage) and to exploit optics Professional, unique sound very obvious flaw in the shadows by the iso 200 and 3200 in the whole image, fantastic exposure, dull colors (PS in action). Cause high resolution shake-frequent if not used with shutter speeds or with optical VR. Major flaw of this machine is the management of most present noise at high (not only, from 400 in the whole picture, from 200 in the shadows): produces a "grain" irregular and large purple-green color noise with hot red pixels, a disorder difficult to resolve in PP. Here you get to the weak point: the building ... only after 25000 shots with frequent changes of the optical bayonet has become hard not to dialogue with the objectives (af included) ... maybe too rough for the construction ... (compared to d3000 who replaced) Com ...prate a mirrorless (Nikon does not, because with that sensor ridiculous, but maybe Sony or Fujifilm). Buy it if you use it at 100 iso and careful exposure. Rated 6.5 rnVoto final 6.5

fujifilm_xa1Fujifilm X-A1

Pros: Excellent performance of the sensor, especially at high ISO. Even in 6400 files utilizabilissimi remodeling in post a bit 'luminance. Practicality, weight (neck you forget it).

Cons: Absence of the viewfinder (fixable with aftermarket product - Helios Viewfinder- from 20 €). Plastic body is not sealed.

Opinion: Coming from a previous experience extremely disappointing made a year ago 'with a Nikon V1, I approached the evidence of a mirrorless in a very suspicious. Analyzing the first shots I was rather impressed positively by Fujifilm X-A1.rnAnche with the objective provided in the kit (Fujifilm XC 16-50mm f / 3.5-5.6 OIS), the results were more than acceptable, at least for my use that is targeted to a user when to bring in the kit SLR can be a big problem. I believe in photography, in some circumstances, take home a shot anyway lavorabilissimo acceptable and preferable to give up anything to bring home. In these cases have in the kit a machine like that can be very convenient. Really a surprise! Rating: 10
