Pros: Very fast autofocus, battery life, customizable menus, solid construction, resistance in extreme hot and cold conditions, lightness, number of buttons, tropicalization, stacked sensor. Image quality, and of course sony color science. Sealed at high ISO.
Cons: Ergonomics (you need the battery grip), evf resolution (it is still a 2017 model), it does not save additional presets (in addition to the 3 that can be recalled with the dial) in the car, you need a dedicated SD card. Good JPEGs, but not unforgettable (edit: it was my fault, not the fault of the camera that left the DRO on, and I got images too mixed with shadows: jpegs are really very good)
Opinion: I've been using it for a couple of months now and now it's a kind of glove, easy to use and very fast: compared to the d4s/d5 where I slightly anticipated the shot, here I shoot when I see what I want to be photographed. He doesn't miss a photo (this weekend I took 6 thousand, without bursts (which I don't use), those out of focus were 3/4). Used for 2 hours straight under the scorching sun at 35 degrees, shooting continuously in chase mode, it never got stuck (even if in those situations it increases battery consumption). The menus allow you to create shooting presets that contemplate everything, I really love the possibility of configuring compensations depending on the mode with which you expose (in the multiple I have more 1/6), but also the recording of shooting settings on a custom button that allows you to really do everything. Unfortunately, the ergonomics are sony (it seems that they do not consider it in the design phase, preferring the miniaturization of the camera to its usability) and without battery grip it is difficult to hold it in the hand. The electronic viewfinder is good but not great and in mediocre light conditions it does not return the quality of the photo that will come out. The stacked sensor allows you to forget about having the mechanical one with enormous advantages in terms of speed and silence. 24 megapixels is the ideal resolution for sports use, let's hope that in the Mark 3 they don't decide to increase it. The battery (with the camera intelligently configured, i.e. the rear screen turned off while shooting) allows you to face a day of 10 hours of continuous shooting (in tracking mode) with 2 batteries in the BG, keeping the third in your pocket. Tropicalization is also useful to prevent dirt from entering the sensor while changing lenses often (obviously being careful). As far as I understand the saving of other presets in addition to the 3 that can be physically recalled with the upper knob, is done only on an SD card and not in the car, too bad. Also to be praised is the sealing at high ISO, it does not add as many obvious digital artifacts as the d5. It weighs very little. |
