Pros: Great raw files, great lens, fits in your pocket, low noise, no dust, super sturdy, very small
Cons: Not stabilized, it does not have the function of adjusting the exposure once this hyena locked, tele-converter that re-samples the image
Opinion: After 4 years of daily use and several thousand photos I feel I can write a review about this machine. Socket for documenting moments of life and personal projects in small spaces, even indoors. Excellent 28mm fixed lens, very sharp at the appropriate iso, I would say up to 3200 iso, then when the iso is raised too much it suffers as it is normal, also due to the bayer sensor which is not the best but still manages to render well. I am a "documentary filmmaker" so I refer to the image quality of Mary Ellen Mark, Eugene Richards and the like, those who know photography know what they are talking about, that is, that extreme sharpness does not count for anything and instead having a tool that allows you to always be present and never miss a moment is vital. I have owned the 5D markII for 16 years now and I also use it almost daily, with only 2 fixed lenses 35mm and 50mm, and this small camera is the ideal companion that allows you to photograph always, in any environment and condition. And have a fixed 28mm always ready. It fits in the pocket of your jeans, so to speak, having fixed optics it does not enter dust, neither in the lens nor in the sensor. Metal body, bezels and lens, great feeling in the hand. Up until now I've abused her a lot by always being in my pocket, whether I'm walking around the house or going to work or going to the supermarket or whatever, it's in my pocket. In the midst of the dust it fears nothing, under light drizzle it does nothing and has fallen 3/4 times, dented and works perfectly. I use it completely in manual mode i.e. one ring with shutter speeds, another with apertures and the ring on the lens for iso. When in manual focus, the lens ring changes to focus and the iso is changed from the custom button above the camera. I would say perfection because after a while, but with constant use, it becomes an extension of the hand and you maneuver without thinking. Snapshot function very useful at f8 from 1 meter and f5.6 from about 2 meters. What I don't like are JPGs in the camera but this is my way of working, for me they don't make sense, they decrease the image quality. The digital tele-converter function can only be used in JPG because it resamples the files, and this was stupid on Fuji's part. If it worked in RAW without re-sampling the files and just cropping them (as Ricoh GR does) it would have been a very useful feature while maintaining the excellent quality of the raw files, instead turning to jpg you lose a lot of image quality. Fuji, you can do better here. It is useful to have three batteries if you use them a lot, they are cheap. Lens cap to be removed and put on, even here Fuji I don't understand if they make it or there are... In 2018 it came out, you make a quality pocket that you take out of your pocket and shoot immediately and I have to take the lens off with the other hand??? But is this normal? Mah.... Autofocus to review because in certain situations it is uncertain, but having started photographing with film at different times you get around these things knowing what you are doing. Burst if you use it is limited to 6fps but after 8 frames it slows down and shoots at about one frame per second, here too you can improve. For me it has great qualities, the small flaws it has do not diminish its value as if you use it to document and in raw format (even for street) it is fabulous. Before taking this one I had taken the panasonic lx10 which was even smaller and had an impressive leica lens for the quality (and by the way f1.4-f2.8!!) but being a small zoom dust entered everywhere and after half an hour as I use it it already had dust inside the lens, this one instead not even the shadow and trust me this is a relief, being able to count on a tool at all times. This bought used for 300 euros. I like it very much and very useful. |
