Pros
- In the hand lies perfectly and solidly. Functionality is top notch. Everything is very convenient, beautiful, at hand, minyushka is logical and understandable. You get used to the fotik very quickly. The swivel screen is very comfortable and clear. Photos are good quality. Camera operation, rate of fire, focusing, etc. top notch and makes me happy.
Cons
- Haven't found it yet. If there are, I will write later.
Pros
- Took only for video filming. From this point of view, I will tell you. Of course, this is not a camcorder. But the picture quality, natural color reproduction, the ability to put different lenses, the dynamic range of the matrix make it possible to use it for LOW-BUDGING professional video shooting, which I successfully do. After the Sony FX-1 (semi-pro camcorder) I felt like with him. Well, almost a director, not just a video hacker. A swivel display for video is a must. I calmly shoot from the floor and from above. There is a 50p mode - which is good for slowdowns. But it's not FULL HD. And its quality looks a lot like a video camera. Three batteries are enough for the wedding (native and two - a good non-original). This is a good result. To clients, the picture from it seems VERY GOOD. (But they don't know there is another Mark 3 which is better :-) There is an alternative firmware that makes this device one and a half times more expensive (Magic Lantern), while it is free.
Cons
- 1. Focus ONLY manual! Looking at the display, you focus on the eye. Often mistaken, especially after several hours of continuous shooting. 2. The display is illuminated by the sun. You have to close the aperture, increasing the depth of field, or rely on a miracle, or you need a special screen. 3. ISO! There is a catastrophic shortage of ISO workers. 1000 for video is already of little use. Noises in the gloomy banquet halls are clearly visible. And the darker the corner, the more noise there is. On-camera lamps help out only partially. Because they do not take the entire area of the frame anyway. I also use extra. spotlight. But I don't have an assistant! I don't always have time to change it. And guests sometimes want to stay in the twilight. In general, things are bad here. f2.8 lenses are not enough. Here you need aperture 1.4. And this is no longer a LOW-BUDGET video. 4. Sound. Without alternative firmware, you cannot control the sound recording level. Stereo recording only through external devices. I write on a dictaphone, and from a dictaphone I duplicate in a fotik. 5. A means of stabilizing the camera is required. Starting from a tripod ending with sliders and taps. Hand-held - only with proper skill and experience, provided that you use a lens with a stabilizer. 6. Only a creative and professional approach to filming is required. Lazy and slow to work with him! For them, there are conventional semi-video cameras. Frequent lens changes are required to capture diverse shots. Accordingly, there is a risk of breaking the lens or spoiling the insides of the device. Ideal shooting on this fotik - at least two cameras.
Pros
- saves battery! swivel screen! the presence of a second screen, excellent build quality, does not cause a feeling of cheap plastic. rapid-fire. Very comfortable grip. Excellent video quality.
Cons
- perhaps only low working ISOs, quite noticeable noises climb at 3200. But this is more likely to apply to all crops from Canon. it is not possible to quickly switch from photo to video mode. until you turn the whole wheel on the video - you don’t need it anymore :(
Pros
- When using the right, not necessarily expensive lenses, everything will be tip-top!
Cons
- After three years of use, all the shortcomings have disappeared somewhere. The biggest drawback is the lack of knowledge of the basics of photography.
Pros
- An ideal camera, it's a shame if they are discontinued. She was ahead of her time.
Cons
- Slow operation with a memory card during continuous shooting. For the pros it is very important, for the layman it is imperceptible.
Pros
- Of course the rotary display! Additional display. It sits comfortably in the hand (as they say, the body is a continuation of the hand. This is about him). Rate of fire. Very powerful battery, tortured to discharge! 18 MP. Not a bad whale lens. Price-quality. Japan!
Cons
- slightly messed up menu. no panorama. Lack of alignment.
Pros
- Convenient. Well made and seems to be reliable
Cons
- There was a glitch with the built-in flash, and she is friends here as a transmitter for all speedlights from Canon - she manages wonderfully, so two days later they changed my camera - the flash stopped working. They say - a rare case . I don’t know. The second one - no problems. True, I Now 90 percent use it as a video camera. Therefore, I can’t say about the reliability of this element - ask or look in the forums
Pros
- All the benefits of the Canon 550 D plus new features. Although the matrix is the same, for some reason it seemed to me that it shoots better with the same lens. I can judge because I had both a Canon 500 D and a Canon 550 D. They increased the working ISO, the rotary display is super. By the way, it works when shooting, like a pistol with a silencer .))) An interesting sound, deaf, quiet, not even familiar. It lies better in the hand than the Canon 550 D. It feels nicer, probably because of the rubber bands on 2 sides (550 rubber band on one side). And the design of the case for the right hand has become more convenient, they made a deeper notch for the thumb. Add. The screen is also comfortable with backlight. Wider range of settings compared to younger cameras from its lineup. Auto-focus is much faster and more accurate than the Canon 550 D. By the way, when you get used to the joystick, the control seems more convenient than the buttons of previous models. (but this is purely personal)
Cons
- I think that its most serious drawback is that they ruined the mode switch wheel by sticking a lock button in the middle. It's really not convenient. It used to be better. You could switch with one finger. It's a matter of habit, of course, but I liked the old options more. In some review I read that this was done in order not to accidentally switch the shooting mode. I wonder how it can be accidentally switched? By the way, they removed the display off sensor when you bring the camera to your face. Not critical, but the included display sometimes interferes .
