Pros: For years the unique camera what can capture clear moments in the night.

Cons: Sometimes slow focus.

Opinion: Unique camera for night and low lights conditions no flash use clear moment photography just to do that you have to understand this kind of photography made the right settings and have the right lens ...because in low lights moment photography not always will be the best the wide aperture lens ...in some situations will be surprised one f/4.0 lens will do the magic and one f/1.4 will fail :)

Pros: File that churns out, lightness, high yield iso., tropicalization.

Cons: Af (old but abb decent), drums

Opinion: I took it back (I had several sony) to accompany my 6600. because I missed his files.. If you do not print giant photos a7s with the 12mpx enough and advances. For night photography even today it is phenomenal. For landscapes and portraits it is ideal colors and awb excellent. Its flaws given the age are the battery that lasts little and af that is decent but with big limitations. (comparison with 6600) If you take sports photos or fast-moving people it is not the car x you but in the landscape and in the portrait it will not disappoint you.

Pros: Professional tropicalized camera body, quality shots and videos (1080p) even at high ISO, lightness, excellent ergonomics and customization keys, excellent manual focus mode even for third-party lenses (with adapter), good viewfinder and LCD screen, fairly precise autofocus even in low light, wireless

Cons: Autofocus only contrast, burst slow shots, battery not very durable (but sufficient), no 4k video in the car, 12mpx (if you need more). Non-stabilized sensor

Opinion: Socket used with only 9000 shots taken and with attached two lenses ..... at a price I couldn't refuse... That said, the camera is really good for photo quality at high and low ISO and for 1080p videos, still current today after almost 10 years since its release. Professional camera body (you feel it immediately when you pick it up) with good customization possibilities, good quality viewfinder and good LCD. I really like the ergonomics of the machine and I find everything quickly by customizing what I need. Autofocus only in contrast and without two thousand focus points :), excellent manual focus mode, exposure meter always rather precise. The megapixels are "only" 12 (enough for me) and the burst is rather slow, but this camera is not made for photographic hunting and is declared and known. The best of if it is notoriously at high ISO where sometimes (exposing well of course) is impressive. Good dynamic range. If you are looking for a machine to make street, photos at high ISO, portraiture, landscape and excellent movies (really remarkable) at 1080p, this is still the machine for you ... For photo hunting and if you need a lot of megapixels, look for more.

Pros: High ISO management (you buy it for that), very small and handy, tropicalized, used price

Cons: Not stabilized, sometimes the WB goes about its business, but I always shoot in raw so ..

Opinion: I've had this camera body for about ten days and I'm having a lot of fun "playing" it in extreme situations where I wouldn't have thought of shooting with another body. I also used it with vintage optics a bit 'dark like the 135 Enna Munchen and the results are very satisfactory, In pp with 25 points of noise reduction and resizing to 5000 px side along the photos are widely usable for any amateur purpose. Purchased from a juzino at 350 euros, body VERY lived and marked, and then I realized that it has the sensor marked by a laser (if you read me you could also tell me! I would have taken the same) I think it is perfect for a carefree evening street. I'm using it with the scarce but compact fifty, but I think that with a 35 in front it is really unbeatable for price performance ratio. Look in my folder "Old deadbolts" some shots without any artistic pretense, but that makes the idea

Pros: Overall rendering of very natural image, weight, dimensions, low light rendering, awb, jpeg in the room, focus peaking, evf, lcd screen, well-organized and logical menu (put the English language, in Italian it is unusable)

Cons: Single sd slot, not very durable battery. I would like to see level and histogram at the same time.

Opinion: Taken to have a full frame digital body at a low price and with a non-dense sensor to take with me together with my 135 format film cameras, adapting the m42 lenses that I use on the latter. The aim is to be able to shoot in light conditions that are prohibitive for the film or to be able to share some shots on the fly. Great buy. Pleasant image rendering, without digital excesses, excellent performance with vintage optics given the low density of the sensor, also excellent yield at high ISO. Very usable thanks to focus peaking and with good jpegs. Dimensions and minimal weight. Good evf and good lcd. I, who do not like Bayer sensors, did not regret the choice, thanks to the yield given by only 12 MP, which I bless without hesitation. I can't judge af and light meter because I don't use them.
