Pros: Lightweight, 60x Zoom equal to 20-1200, Ergonomics
Cons: Battery, High ISO, Exposure Times, F8 Diaphragm
Opinion: It was my second bridge, bought in January 2018, after a few weeks of reflection more to see if it could actually be a suitable hiking companion than for the search for quality, I was positively impressed. I mainly use it for photos in the mountains during my excursions in all possible ways (ski mountaineering, skiing, mtb, enduro, trekking, snowshoeing, mountaineering), it is light and not bulky. We start to say that I almost always shot in RAW+JPG low quality and yes, I continue with this choice that I had already married on the reflex. The lens is clear, although as you go towards 60x, a little sharpness comes less, but it is a machine of less than 300 euros, handyman, and you cannot expect everything. If you then make my mistake of putting a cheap UV filter in front of us, you have spent little and thrown a lot of shots in the bin, personally I quickly switched to filters of decidedly higher quality and without compromise. I used it in various conditions and it has never suffered from any mechanical or electronic problem (we are talking about over 30,000 shots), with the zoom at 1200 mm it has allowed me to take shots at unexpected appearances of a lot of fauna, sometimes possible only in stakeout (and stakeouts I rarely do and only in equipped oases). It has a lot of functions and many in my opinion of marginal importance but from that point of view, it is more than complete. I suffered the lack of being able to go beyond the 4" of exposure and the night shots at the high ISOs better to let them go. I personally prefer the 3:2 format so the use at 16 mpx and in fact the quality, compared to the 18 mpx in 4:3, changes significantly. The F8 diaphragm, it could be (it's) a pretty heavy limit but I thought worse. In essence: less than 300 euros for a light handyman, full of functions and an incredible zoom, you have to compromise on some compromise but it is not money thrown in the most absolute way. Although it has now become my camera used (I also have an FZ2000 and a Nikon complete with optics and filters), I use it again and with a little care and knowing its limits, overall it remains a good bridge that gives more than discreet satisfactions. |
