Pros: Magnesium body, excellent ergonomics, very large photodiodes, very light files, color profiles all usable, excellent jpg, low cost, robustness, battery life, photographic performance, fast autofocus
Cons: A few notes on the display, not always with accurate color
Opinion: Among the reflex cameras, despite its age, it is among the best built, it has an ergonomics that make you feel immediately at ease, excellent grip and manageability despite, or perhaps even, for the weight, not low, but not excessive either. Solid handle, with all controls easily accessible and rationally distributed. The viewfinder is not very large but it is bright and allows you to see all the shooting parameters; It never leaves you disappointed, as it is still an appreciable pentaprisma. Despite its age, it has a rather fast autofocus and is, above all, accurate. The eight megapixels don't make you want more resolution as they are good, at least for the most widely used sampa formats and beyond. It has a respectable dynamic range as it is based on rather large photodiodes; Even at high ISO the noise is almost always acceptable and of good texture. It is good, however, not to exceed 1600iso, although a good exposure produces photos that can be used excellently even at iso 3200. The exposition, whatever the method adopted, is always quite accurate. It is capable of producing photos very similar to the eos 5d, which is still considered one of the best cameras produced by Canon. It also has a good built-in flash, which is smooth and well-balanced. At the first grip you immediately feel that it is a semi-pro, different from plasticky and creaky entry level cameras. Although it can be used simply as a point-and-shoot, it has a configurability that can be profitably exploited even in the professional field. All this as long as you don't hope for video capabilities, wirelees and other modern features, which, however, rarely interest a true photography lover. |
