Pros: Flexibility of use - today at a really inviting price - excellent choice x those who just want to have fun with photography
Cons: ... all the limits of a small sensor
Opinion: Socket used at 140€ a few months ago - for a long time I wanted to try a compact superzoom and already having both reflex and ML bodies and optics from the Fish-eye to the 400mm, I wanted to try to go further, without too much expectation - I leave out the comparison with interchangeable optical bodies, comparing myself to canon G12 and Canon Pro1 --- using it on Raw, without going beyond 160 iso and 800mm eq. it gives shots, in relatively static conditions, that amazed me - this is its field of action and in these conditions makes life hard to other well + lent solutions --- certain you can climb up to 1200 mm eq and a little also with iso but .....! - then it turns out that it has excellent close-up potential, which has good ergonomics and an average dignified optical yield - its limits + evident, in dynamic shots, where Af servo does tenderness and the lag to the shutter button makes you hysterical (but I am used to 1d) - the iso seal (over 160 better not to push) - the burst, good only in the specific jpeg function, but loses the quality of the file - viewfinder and LCD (fortunately totally articulated), at the union minimum - compared to the g12 with the excellent 28/140 eq. it does not lose much as yield, but the longer focal length allows close-ups even to subjects + distant - compared to the Pro 1 with 28/200 and fluorite lens, it loses a little in the optical yield and "old style" colors that the old Pro1 gives - in the " canonical " macro, since all 3 at the minimum focal point, allow shots at very close range, the Pro1, prevails but working only in jpeg, while g12 and sx 50 are basically ewuino, but the sx50, wanting to use pop-up flash, (maybe shielded), has the limit of an overly protruding optics and need an adapter (such as the Pro1), x use an annular flash - basically, we are talking about a multipurpose body, with good overall performance, not very bulky and perfect to take with you on excursions where you could shoot from the macro , to the panorama, to the fauna even at long distances - ( on a subject at 30/50 meters I prefer it by far to the 1d4 + 400 f 5.6 L ..... light permitting of course) |
