Pros: - 10 Impressive dynamic range of 14.6 EVS. - 9 Perfect resolution to handle (36mpx). - 9 Superfine detail (optics permitting). - 9 Rich and "deep" colors.
Cons: Firmware with functions full of flaws, no longer updated (HDR and Pixel Shift of amateur calibration). Autofocus is usually inaccurate or slow to understand (optics depend). Video compartment exceeded (max 1080p 60 interlaced, not even progressive).
Opinion: The Queen of the Night. I had in test several Reflex and ML full format but none has bewitched me so much for its ability to recover lights and shadows and to shoot in low light ... She, for me (excluding of course the new Sony A-1 and the Panasonic from over 2500 €), taking into account the price of the used, is the "Queen of the night", comparable if not superior for night seal to the A7RIV. If you have the right technical and theoretical bases it is possible to have shots with sharp lights and shadows rich in detail even with a single shot (as far as possible with almost 15 stops). Obviously it is not easy to tame: it claims "quality" or "unforgiving" optics, coma and aberrations are around the corner because its sensor pulls out of the lens 100%, as indeed all full-frame, but in particular she multiplies any defects / merits of the optics. When you do the post production of the RAW of this machine there are no surprises of dominants (optics depend.). But what you have to take into account when you buy it is that it is not a "sports" machine ... The autofocus (always optical depend.) is generally slow and inaccurate and, combined with a mediocre burst leads you to miss about 70-50% of the shots in case of motoring, motorcycling, football etc. making it unsuitable (but not impossible to use) to the action and compensating a little but not sufficiently, these defects with the stabilization of the sensor. It should not be forgotten that it is quite heavy and combining it with bright telephoto lenses means getting tired a lot. Fortunately it has an exceptional ergonomics that reduces a lot the impact of the weight but its place is the tripod, a good one! The video sector I do not judge it either, because it is NOT a machine dedicated to videomakers, although it has an almost useless audio input and the stabilization of the sensor that if it had been combined with a more recent video resolution would have paid off but would also have raised the price. What I heavily criticize is the support for the firmware update, abandoned for quite a while now, the machine in the functions has several defects that should be fixed: the number of shots in Bracketing stops only at 5 (and not at 9 as in Sony), while we have 3 useless HDR modes badly calibrated that return useless files and false colors, except perhaps one (I do not remember which one) a little more realistic than the others, but nothing serious or usable professionally (there are Smartphones that do much much better). The Pixel Shift despite its two settings, is another of its dangerous functions, made me throw in the toilet some important shots , cause mosaicization of some details, so, taking into account that we already have 36mpx what the hell is it for I do not know, better not to use it. Finally I can say that it is a machine of excellent quality, solid, tropicalized, it is the machine of the landscaper and the naturalist, I could talk for hours about her, it is a machine that when it came out dictated the law, but it is a pity it has not had a worthy evolution given that the MKII is practically IDENTICAL. |
