Pros: tilting display, GPS, ergonomics, sharpness (sensor without AA filter), build quality, photo quality, decent battery life
Cons: decent but not phenomenal battery life, not suitable for making video, slow live view, almost ridiculous buffering, no internal AF engine, viewfinder covers only 95%, no preview of depth of field, a single configurable button, shutter that does not go beyond 1/4000s
Opinion: This was my first REFLEX and 4 years later and almost 50,000 shots if I found it used and at a good price I think I would buy it back, although at this point not so much for the quality of the image (still good if you do not go beyond ISO 3200, with the necessary limitations, especially if you use the optics supplied in the kit ...) but for its ergonomics - in fact, even compared to the D5600, which I recently bought, it seems to be more comfortable and robust. The battery life is good but not great (if you shoot in small bursts with the 70-300mm AF-P VR, you can get to more than 1600-1900 shots with a single battery charge, a little less if you turn it off and turn it back on all the time - on the first use I managed to take about 900 shots - but this depends on many factors, not least that of the state in which the battery is located), but it lasts a little (on the 400-600 shots) if you activate the GPS. Speaking of the latter, I usually find it accurate and reliable, all the files I need have the tag and I did not encounter the problem of missing information... of course, it takes a while to get into operation every time you activate it, but it seems to do its duty. I don't think it's necessary, as someone said, to go to the Nikon site to update satellite positioning information every 15-30 days because otherwise it doesn't hook them up, that's simply not true from my experience – it just serves for more accurate detection. Now, the two biggest problems for me are the slow live view and the fact that the viewfinder covers are 95% of the scene. Here's what I mean by "slow lv": when you frame a subject, if you press the shutter button, if it is not yet in focus it takes a few moments to "hook it", then the mirror drops (0.2-0.4 seconds), then it goes back (another 0.2-0.4 seconds)... but I have partly "solved" by putting the shooting mode on "continuous H". Unfortunately, nothing can be done about the viewfinder, it is usually not a problem but in some cases it is. To know, I would probably have oriented myself to a D7200. The limited buffer is unfortunately another big problem, at least if you try to photograph moving objects and want to get closer to naturalistic photography; it fills up in 2-3 seconds and you can no longer shoot until it empties. As for the videos, it is not the most suitable camera since it overheats in live view, but I do not make many videos so patience. Another downside of this camera is that it does not have the internal focus engine, which would have allowed the use of AF-D lenses and other optics produced in the 1980s. The adjustable display is really useful for selfies or vlogs, or when you want to shoot something at an unusual angle, but frankly I find it easier to use the viewfinder and lower myself so that you have the desired frame. The lack of a more suitable shutter can be felt if you use a TA light fixed, which can be overcome using a good filter, but, in short, forget to use an f/1.4 or even an f/1.8 without if you want to do it in broad daylight. In addition, a button for previewing the depth of field would have been very useful; now that I'm a slightly more experienced photographer, I don't particularly miss it, though. It has only one configurable button, then, but now I have become accustomed to how it is made and even here, I do not particularly miss it. The quality of jpegs is very good and all in all if you shoot in conditions that allow the use of ISO 100, you can not want more. The high ISO seal is good but not great, and unfortunately, in the 4 years I have used the machine, I have had many situations where better sensitivity would have benefited. ISO 3200: acceptable, but the noise is already noticeable, and this with a good fix. ISO 6400: Almost unusable files for me. Rating: 9. |
