apple_iphone13_miniApple iPhone 13 mini

Pros: Compact, fast, great jpeg

Cons: I always miss the 8...

Opinion: I took the 13mini after almost 5 years of iphone8. I expected a bigger leap, I tell the truth, but I knew what I was up against. However, for me it is essential that the mobile phone has small dimensions, and although this is certainly not 'mini', at least it is smaller than its colleagues. I have been using it for several months now and I have not had any major problems; The battery lasts enough, excellent video mode cinema, for photos nothing impressive compared to the 8. The super wide angle is useful sometimes, but the quality degrades strongly. The portrait mode artificially creates a bit of blur around the subject, but you can see that it is as fake as a Jesuit. The thing I miss most is the unlock with the fingerprint: I do not know how to say it, but the face-id really makes gagare (semicit.), you must always have the phone in front of your face to unlock it, sometimes it gives problems with sunglasses / sight, sometimes it does not work against the light, in dark rooms, ahhh what a passion. I don't know if the next mobile will still be an iPhone. However, for the price I paid to buy it new (€ 679 last November, I caught a resounding offer in a physical store), I feel satisfied.

canon_400_f5-6Canon EF 400mm f/5.6 L USM

Pros: Sharpness, portability

Cons: Maf Distance

Opinion: A tireless worker, I have had it for several years (clearly bought used) and has never shown signs of slowing down. Very sharp and light. Every time I think about moving on to something more recent I look at what's out there and end up keeping it. The only flaw is that you pass something less than three meters away you have to remember to put down the SLR and enjoy the show with the naked eye, because you will not be able to photograph:)

canon_6d_mark_iiCanon 6D Mark II

Pros: Usability and versatility, adjustable screen, file quality (including jpeg)

Cons: Not very fast, that's all.

Opinion: Practically everything and the opposite of everything has already been said about this SLR. For me it is very valid especially for those like me who do very different things. I was hesitant because I also like to do photo hunting and I did not know what to expect coming from the 70D, but despite not being a splinter and losing the crop of the apsc, I pulled out some great shots of animals. Jpegs are great for many circumstances (birthdays and parties), even in low light. I took birthday photos at 4000iso in jpeg that with a small step of noise reduction have become printable.

canon_70-200_f4Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0 L USM

Pros: Image quality and sharpness. Price in used.

Cons: None for the price of the used

Opinion: This is about the 80th review on the 70-200, I don't think I have much to add. I'm just saying I bought it a few months ago when I switched to FF, and the comparison with 55-250 (which remains a good lens for aps-c) is pitiless, the leap in image quality is stark. I can't give directions for those who use aps-c, but if you have a FF and you're thinking about whether it's appropriate to buy it, don't think about it and buy it. It is crisp, quite compact and has a relatively fast af.

sigma_18-35_f1-8Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art

Pros: Brightness in relation to focal length, general yield

Cons: AF not unbeatable

Opinion: I do not dwell in detail on the sharpness to the edges at TA at 18 or 35, as an amateur I do not give too much weight. What is fantastic is that for an extremely affordable amount (especially on the used) you have a focal lens equivalent to ca. 28-56 to f/1.8 constant, and this generates many creative possibilities and gives incredible versatility, from the street, to the landscape, to night shots, to portraits set, reportage and so on. I only had it for a year (then I switched to FF), otherwise I would never detach it from my 70D again.

leica_vlux_114Leica V-Lux (Typ 114)

Pros: Versatility, image quality, lightness.

Cons: Some command a little cumbersome, but nothing relevant

Opinion: I've had it for a few months now and I'm hugely satisfied with it. Bought for less than 500 euros from a used retailer in Rome, because I would never have spent the 1000 dollars and more to get it new, especially when there is an identical one on the market (only it doesn't say "Leica"). I often make short trips where I can't take the reflex, and this camera is perfect. Very light, it has a very versatile zoom! At 25mm you have f/2.8, and the quality at 400mm is still remarkable. Quite satisfying sight, excellent ergonomics. The battery has an honest lifespan. After shooting I no longer remember how many compacts/bridges to travel, this is my final choice. At this price, I'd buy it over a thousand times.

apple_iphone8Apple iPhone 8

Pros: Battery life, various pros of the Apple system. Bright camera, high quality of RAW, excellent jpeg.

Cons: Nothing special. Perhaps the organization of the album is not very customizable, but it is subjective.

Opinion: It's my first iPhone, so I can not make comparisons. Having already Mac and iPad, I felt it as a necessary step, and for now I'm very excited - coming from a Huawei P8 with which I had not been bad anyway. The camera is from another planet, from the RAW you can pull out really good results. It does not make me leave the camera at home because they are two different things, but they bring out really excellent results even in difficult light situations.

canon_efs_55-250_v2Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II

Pros: Price, sharpness on almost any focal range, IS

Cons: Maf sometimes slow and hesitant

Opinion: I bought this lens after 4 years of photographing, just to cover the hole I had left after selling a 70-300 for a 400mm. I was thinking of buying it (naturally used) just for those few cases where I found some animal too close to using the 400mm, but I am very amused to use it even in the city or some landscape. The sharpness is really good and the chromatic yield is satisfactory. For what it costs, I think you can not really ask for more. With little light, the mafia is not performing well, but I mean, we're talking about a used item that's less than $ 200, so it's more than good. Recommended to everyone!

fujifilm_x10Fujifilm X10

Pros: Weight & dimensions, quality files, great focal length

Cons: Optical viewfinder, battery backup.

Opinion: I turned a lot of compact, bought and resold them because I did not find the one that would allow me to leave home, every now and then, in a light heart, my reflex. It's been with the Fuji X10, perfect for size and weight, good grip, very discreet and anonymous if you want to make a little street, but it does not disappoint either on the go, thanks to the colors and the quality of the RAW. Between the dial and setting of the "Fn" button, you always have 2 commands on 3 at hand, so it's perfect if you go to either of the two priorities. Then, well, I can not say it's pretty, the retro and sober style never bores. Among other things, it also has a bit of macro and, for the price it is on the worn, has a focal focus and super brightness (28-112 f / 2.0-2.8). Viewfinder does not give much satisfaction. It takes me to take a picture by looking at the screen, which I do not like.

canon_50dCanon 50D

Pros: Body, gust, joystick

Cons: To want to find one, the resolution of the display (not important, for me)

Opinion: I own this camera for a few months. I must say that getting here from 1100D is a significant change of pace, primarily with regard to the feeling of the grip and the solidity of the body in general. Very comfortable the joystick and the use of the ring nuts, as well as the upper display. As far as we are talking about APS-C, I would like to point out to anyone who thinks of switching to the 50D coming from an entry-level that the management of the ISO averages is still considerably better than the 1100D, both in terms of yield at the same ISO, and in terms of regulation : Instead of 400-800-1600, you can adjust to intermediate values, which I think make the difference (especially between 800 and 1600). [EDIT-3 years later]-I switched to the 70D. My heart is crying. I hope I don't regret it. I'il update you.

sigma_30_f1-4Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM (old)

Pros: f / 1.4, focal, build quality

Cons: none for me, maybe not very light, but we are talking about small goals

Opinion: Since the 'I bought (second hand) I really struggled to remove it from the camera. I had got on well with the Canon 50ino mom, my only experience of fixed lens, but I felt a bit 'long, being on aps-c. A 30mm (48mm then "real") instead of the focal length is perfect. L 'lens works very well to TA, the blur is very pleasant; closing by f / 4 and up get a good sharpness, perfect when you climb around f / 8. In my opinion it is also of high quality color rendering.

canon_75-300_v3Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III

Pros: Price, weight, size

Cons: Autofocus

Opinion: L I bought along with the camera and all 'objective of the kit. To start with the tele is perfect. The sharpness is not his strong point, ok, but for beginners, and as a comparison has the 18-55 kit, this zoom gives good satisfaction. L 'then zoom range is good, with a tripod you can begin to make attempts to focal length and there is a chance to experiment and learn, for who, I repeat, is the beginning, as I was when the' I bought. For the price at which it is located, would recommend to all beginners!

canon_efs_17-85Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM

Pros: Stabilizer, focal length, full time manual focus

Cons: Sharpness, dark, distortion 17mm

Opinion: I tried this' objective buying it used to replace the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f / 3.5-5.6 III of KIT, and I will tell you, covering the photos taken with the 'one and the' other, it is absolutely worth it make the move (someone had warned me ...). Surely the stabilizer works well and looks a quantum leap important for those who do not l 'has ever experienced, as well as the opportunity to correct always the focus manually. But it is too faint, the 'image loses a lot when you move away from the center of' frame, the results are often disappointing. I much prefer the 18-55 kit!
