Pros: Stabilization, Articulated Monitor, Dynamic Range, High Iso Seal, quality and malleability of the product file, Tropicalization, Simple and intuitive menu, robustness, fantastic grip, price.
Cons: Viewfinder can be improved, weight, expensive LMount lenses, Autofocus tracking, energy-intensive.
Opinion: Taken on offer with two lenses at an absolutely competitive price. It is worth a lot and absolutely deserves the purchase compared to what it costs. It should preferably be combined with native S series f1.8 lenses (18-24-35-50-85) with which it communicates and works very well. The strengths and weaknesses are those listed, with merits far superior to the defects. It must be a conscious purchase, in the sense that you have to understand exactly what photographic genres you frequent and then adjust your choice. In general, it is an excellent camera for portraits, close up, street, landscapes, still life, minimal, generalist photography, travel reportage, urban photography. The tracking focus limps for birdlife and sports photography, genres that I do not practice at all and therefore did not affect my choice. The single autofocus is efficient and in the continuous one I have not encountered the bumping that others complain about. It churns out soft, malleable Raw files, workable in pp in an excellent way as they are neither rigid nor plastered. It allows for truly remarkable recoveries in the shadows and changes in the range. The menu is child-proof, in the sense that it is simple and intuitive. I set it up in a half afternoon collecting info on the net and without resorting to the manual. In the hand you have a sense of robustness with excellent ergonomics. I found it a bit energy-intensive, the battery drops after intensive use of a morning, nothing that cannot be remedied with a spare battery. It's a bit heavy, like all Panasonics but everything is balanced by the featherweight of the lenses I listed above. Those who buy it as a second body or to enter the world of FF at the price at which it is NUOVA are making a bargain. |
