Pros: Speed ??and sensitivity with little assist Beam improved a lot compared to the x-e2 and now the same as the SLR, light weight, physical rings for aperture, and exposure times. As it once was. very functional menu. outstanding electronic viewfinder. Optics supplied sublime. Image quality up to 6400 (in raw) just superb, dynamic range up to ISO 800 amazing species in the recovery of the shadows and noise virtually INEXISTENT up to 3200 ISO, you would not believe. It still lacks full support of demosaicing the x-e2s. Perfectly suited for photo in B / N, I do not know what depends but makes the spectacular files
Cons: Jpeg in the car just good with optimal light conditions, mixed with very low light environment. Raw exceptional but that can not be pumped over 6400. Battery 'short'. Poor balance and stability with photos free hand because of the low weight and the optics that protrude from the body and moves the center of gravity forward, to take more than 1/50 lenses you have to have very steady hands to prevent blur.
Opinion: Excellent speed of use that allows the arrangement of buttons and above all very rational approach 'physical' permitted by metal rings 'old style' that mounts. The electronic viewfinder thanks to the peaking focus allows to use AF glasses with speed and satisfaction (very big value), and is large and bright, the highest level. Also instantly it informs about the exposure changes made through the metal ring allowing you to get exactly what you want. Fantastic. The lens kit is definitely not like the classic plastic barrels with glass operetta which are usually also provided with FF, but it is a Mr. 18-55 with max aperture at 2.8, robust and fluid. The quality of images in jpeg is good if you shoot up to ISO 2500-3200, as well are kneaded and acquerellosi with whatever setting it operates in the car but this applies to 90% of cameras which are 2 or 3 models of FF. In any case it is not true, asIt is read by many, that the jpeg of fuji are so good. The only way to push the ISO 6400 is to use jepg, so it is a limit. The raw deserve a separate discussion: to develop them decently, lacking at the moment a support for E2s even in soft historically fairly well run by RAF (p. Ninja, Capture, etc.), you should use soft SILKYPIX the house but demosaicizza to suck (noticeable color noise, not from fuji sensor), probably because even optimized for previous generation fuji. A good system is to transform the RAF to DNG and then open them and work with LR. That way you actually have the good results promised by the x-Trans sensor: the chroma noise is really very low. Consider that in LR, with photos in 6400, just take a 5 slide to reduce chroma noise and also disappears what little noise there is, while up to 3200 you can even let go of all the noise reduction! Two defects as regardsthe sheer quality image: the camera does not allow, as we said, iso beyond 6400 in RAW, and - you also for the 16-megapixel, not many - the sharpness of the pictures at night is not excellent because the luminance noise than 1600 it is quite present. It must be said that makes a grain effect to '' film not unpleasant. Let's say that, leaving aside the optical kit, however spectacular, and acquiring a 1.4 or, spending more, a 1.2, there also has fun with little light, being able to remain below the 6400 ISO at every opportunity. The dynamic range seems exceptional. I also possess the D800 and I can say that the laying latitude appears on the same level. There are no technical evidence documented by the usual sites in the sector but we are certainly among the 13.5 and 14 stop at least. Up to 800 ISO the shadows rise almost indefinitely, the high lights dim a little 'less, proportionately, but always at high levels. |
