Pros:Lightweight, quality of files (at least at the date of its release)
Cons:Lack of stabilization, no mic input
Opinion:Really small camera to always carry with you that gives good quality files, too bad for the stabilization completely absent, but above all for the fact of not having any microphone input, for the time in which it came out it was really an exceptional vehicle that gave me a lot of satisfaction, at the time I am writing the review obviously there are much more performing products
Pros:Small, compact, lightweight, pocket-sized, solid, tilting monitor, good dynamic range, jpeg file quality, nfc and Wi-Fi connectivity, focus peaking, battery life. Built-in flash. The kit's lens (16-50) small, light and good performance (although it lacks a traditional dial to zoom). Great stabilization. Ability to use optics from other brands with the appropriate adapters.
Cons:Slow turn on and re-ignition. Maf not particularly fast and at times decidedly slow. Holding high ISO (over 800 ISO too much noise). Raw not exciting. Recharge battery directly into the machine body that prevents its use during the operation. Sensor prone to getting dirty easily. Lack of internal sensor cleaning device. Lack of a scope for all those situations where it is difficult to look in the monitor.
Opinion:Great mirrorless to always keep in your pocket so you don't miss a single shot. Good image quality as long as you don't want to pretend to shoot in extremely dynamic situations or with little light setting more than 1600 ISO. Great controls that can be selected from the menu. I have added to the kit only two automatic Meike extension tubes found on Amazon at 16 euros. that I use for great macro photos, recently the Sony 55-210 and a pocket-sized mini for long exposures and the whole thing goes quietly in the pockets of the vest. For exposures up to 1/15 of a second I successfully risked freehand shooting, which says a lot about the good stabilization of the camera. I used it, indeed I use it, even with the 28-70 Sony f. 3.5/5.6 of the A7 kit, with better results than on the FF even if the angle of the field becomes that of a 45-105. Excellent yield also with canon lenses coupled through the Sigma MC11 adapter that maintains all the performance of the objectives; it's strange to have the 24-105 L IS USM f. 4 with this little one hooked, but the results are really amazing, as well as with the lighter Canon 28-105 f. 3.5/4.5, especially if there is no need to focus quickly (but this also applies with Sony optics). You need to be very careful not to get the sensor dirty when changing the optics because it is a real vacuum cleaner (better turn off the camera and wait a few seconds before changing lens, so the sensor slims down and does not attract grains of dust).
Pros:great photo quality, solid and robust, battery life, intuitive menu, great grip.
Cons:the standard lens does not have the ring to focus manually and the viewfinder is missing, but you get used to it after a few clicks.
Opinion:For the price I paid for it, I was expecting a chinese, but surprised me. I only make streets, usually with a reflex and a bridge, but being tired of carrying my backpack, I wanted a camera to put in my jacket pocket, so I wanted to try a mirror, so I bought a basic model, now I was sorry for the choice. After getting out of the box and loading it, I tried to shoot some photos and since then I can not separate it. Soon I will buy a Tamron 18-200 as a goal to do and I believe that the land will not be reduced to the minimum. I add that I'm a lazy lover, so I hate to post-production, so I just jpg click and the only thing I do is connect the camera to the PC, save the photos I like and delete those I do not care about. The small Sony on this helps me so much, because it's both automatic and manual, it's a pleasure and it's not a mistake. Of course my opinion is% 3B based on the type of photography I do, without too much pretense.
Pros:price, size and weight, up to 180 ° upscale screen, sensor, aps-c, dynamic range, jpeg file quality, nfc and Wi-Fi connectivity, focus peaking, focus magnifier, Sony store with installed applications downloadable, mobile Play Mobile memories, battery life.
Cons:noisy shutter, high ISO hold, disappointing RAW files, slow autofocus, burst, sensor gets dirty easily, confusing menu, poor quality screen, slow battery charging
Opinion:I bought this mirrorless about a year ago without knowing anything about photography, just to make better quality photos than a smartphone. Initially I wanted to return it because of the slow focus and because the photos taken were really poor, but in reality the screen is bad. By leaving the MAF unmanageable, it does get the best picture quality if you consider that it is the home's mirrorless entry-level Sony. Lightweight and compact, with the supplied lens is very easy to carry. I want to emphasize the goodness of the mobile Play memories application that lets you control the machine remotely via smartphones, accessing all the commands. Charging the battery is slow, it takes about 5 hours. Great buy for those who are close to photography without too much pretense but also for those who want to travel without footprints.
Pros:Small, light and incredibly economical. Fantastic sensor
Cons:Bad display
Opinion:Machine that is enormously satisfied especially when you think about its price (299 with optics kit a year ago). Fantastic sensor, worthy of more expensive machines, thanks to the dimensions in your pocket and allows you to not miss photos because the machine is home! RnHa of possible defects but all can be evaluated regardless of the absence of the viewfinder, the physical ring and Of the possibility of inserting flash and external microphone. What I did not believe is the absolutely unreliable display to evaluate the shots made; This too is a problem that goes beyond the first time that the files on the screen of a PC or TV are opened, where they can appreciate all the recorded details. The satisfaction that gave me this machine was many and certainly worth it Every penny spent, congratulations to Sony!
