Pros: Almost everything

Cons: Preview inconsistencies depending on whether you are in AFS or AFC that fade away after some experience in using it

Opinion: I would buy it again for me it is a 10. Solid, quality materials, ergonomics, excellent IQ, at night with 12,800 ISO it behaves very well, the AF is very good even though it was not born for sports for certain genres it is more than fine, very interesting computational features such as HIRES handheld with moving subjects, live composite, photographic and video LUTs in the camera that make it a shot & gun for OOC photos already beautiful and ready without going through editing. The RAW is very workable with excellent recoveries, and there is also an exposure metering option that helps not to burn the highlights. The stabilization is excellent, with the 50 1.8, not stabilized, you get to 1 second without micro-blur, if you have a steady hand. The arrangement of the buttons and their customization are excellent, which with the customizable Qmenu, avoids the use of browsing menu pages. The front ring coaxial to the shutter button is excellent. The preview, as anticipated in the cons, does not work consistently between AFS and AFC and the same inconsistency can be seen between fixed and automatic ISOs. With a little experience, understood the technical glitch, this is solved which is essentially an initial annoyance. She is an all-rounder and does it very well in various photographic genres. On a video level they speak very well of it, but I am ignorant on the subject, at the limit I could only make basic videos. If the preview worked consistently and the viewfinder, which is decent, was more resolute, it would be a 10 and praise.

Pros: Quality files, Wb car perfect, size and weight, general construction, very smooth touch, customization keys, user experience.

Cons: Slow sensor reading. Slow start-up when first turned on. Constancy af-c not up to par. First electronic curtain limited to 1/2000

Opinion: For me it is a beautiful camera. I state that I use it only for photos, preferring landscapes and some portraits. It has a very beautiful and workable file. Not having the low pass filter in rare cases you can run into moiré but on the other hand the detail recorded is excellent. Thanks to the perfect auto WB and camera profiles you get very ready files and even if I shoot in raw the post work is more pleasant. In addition, luts can be integrated via app to obtain jpgs with various styles, some of which are very interesting. The af is much improved. The recognition of the subjects is very good and for moderately dynamic photos there are absolutely no problems. It is not suitable for genres such as BIF and very fast sports (you can take your son's football game home without any problems!). The rolling shutter is quite noticeable in electronic as well as the black out when shooting in mechanical,. Gust and buffer are not sports car looks. The menu is very tidy but very long-winded with an infinite number of options (like all modern machines). Clearly it can be used easily but at the same time it allows many customizations for the most demanding. The manual is very concise in explaining the settings items. You could do better also because almost all online tutorials are for video. I would recommend it to everyone, excluding those who want to photograph birds in flight or sports that require bursts and af at the highest levels. For this reason, there are other machines at much higher costs. For little money you take home a super ML with the possibility of accessing the L-mount lens park. My vote, also in relation to the cost is an 8.5.

Pros: Finally on the S series a high-performance and reliable autofcus, excellent file quality, super video. Value for money of the system (using Sigma lenses) unattainable by other brands

Cons: The problem of per-flash latency also persists on this version. Unfortunately, the star filter (present on the first series) is missing

Opinion: The S2 significantly outclasses the previous model in every aspect, the autofcus is finally adequate, the quality of the file, already satisfactory, has now increased noticeably, the photos are perfect and do not require post-production. The videos are a lot of stuff (I'm not here to describe the improvements already widely documented). The pairing with the sigma 24-70 II is fantastic. Unfortunately, with the TTL mode, there is still the problem of the delay between the pre-flash and the flash (I only use the manual mode)

Pros: Solid, extremely good sensor, wonderful videos and photos, very good AF, IBIS that works well, fans, menus and usability with a thought behind even if very articulated, price / performance.

Cons: High rolling shutter, battery not adequate for the power, no sensor coverage if you remove the lens.

Opinion: This, together with the zve1 and z6iii, are the machines to buy in their respective price range. the colors are similar to those of Leica for obvious reasons. Park of optics that is starting to be interesting, for those who want a hybrid FF that works as Christ commands this is the camera to take. It holds well in the hand, great robustness and safety that brings home the result.

Pros: Superb image and video quality, high resolution at 96mpx, very good AF, high ISO, excellent dynamic range, excellent stabilization, tropicalized, good LCD visibility, well positioned buttons, menus, very good ergonomics, construction, touch at the level of high-end smartphones, choice of codec, in-camera LUT, Opengate, pre-shooting, live painting, good electronic burst 30, multi bracketing, detailed RAW, price

Cons: The first ignition takes up to 5 seconds after which it turns on immediately, lens closing cap, there is no sensor cover during lens change, suffers from moirè in certain situations, undersized battery

Opinion: After having tried it far and wide I found few flaws (see CONS) with which you can live without fear. I think we can talk about a multi-purpose professional machine with intelligent solutions that allow, as in my case, a considerable saving of working hours in the post of photos and videos. I felt very comfortable with the AF. I don't take sports photos but I read about photographers who are satisfied with the camera in this area as well. It is not afraid of the night, in fact it is a shame not to use it at night given the combination of high ISO and dynamic range. Among the gems there are: - landscapes and still lifes in high resolution at 96mpx (even without tripod) with RAW assembled in the camera; - the in-camera LUTs that often solve flat light situations and others give that extra touch that in PP would require several minutes of editing; - Opengate that from a single take it is possible to obtain different video formats; - Pre-shot to capture the exact moment; - Multi Bracketing that even allows you to take a series of photos at different apertures; - the Light Painting mode that allows you to obtain portraits and emotional still lifes that are difficult to obtain in PP; - In many cases, the gimbal is no longer necessary. In conclusion, considering the high quality photo and video, the construction materials, the ergonomics, the various software solutions and the price, the 10 is well deserved.
