Pros
- Price. Build quality,. Ease of use. Grip and button placement.
Cons
- A little lies on the exposure. But this is with a heavy 28-300 Canon lens. Quite a small buffer for high-speed shooting.

Pros
- Many wrote about this: convenient, autofocus, normal video.
Cons
- Terribly noisy matrix. The image is noisy in the shadows, not only at high ISO, but even at ISO 100 on a sunny day. And I used a normal 50 1.4 lens, at different apertures. The blur zone is also very noisy. This is clearly visible, as soon as you get out of sharpness, noise appears. At the same time, at high ISOs, something is really visible, the matrix is more aperture, but at the same time it makes noise and detailing drops. I have 5d mark2 on iso 3200 less noise and the picture was clearer than here on 6d mark2.
Pros
- Autofocus is good, even in fairly difficult conditions The native battery is durable. Pleasant and easy to use. In general, worth the money, I'm satisfied. After 450d it's hard to be dissatisfied) More details in the comments.
Cons
- They are, but for me - no (I don't need these 2 slots of yours and 4k video for free). From what I noticed: The camera seriously messes up with the exposure in some situations (especially in the evening when the sun is still above the horizon and there is backlight and serious contrast). In particular, I encountered the fact that instead of lengthening the shutter speed, it overestimates the ISO. Those. for example, makes a frame at 1/2022 at ISO 3200. + Overexposure. Accordingly, the ISO auto cut down immediately. But during the day, in the evening (after sunset) I did not observe this. Faced with hard flare (light scattering). Exactly that the flare, when there is just a bright sky in the frame, occupies 10% of the frame area, while the flare takes another 20-30%. Maybe it's in my hands and I forgot how to use DSLRs (see comment), maybe this is a consequence of who the camera as a whole is prone to overexposure. Unsuccessful photos posted (this is a camera JPEG) (the second photo somehow loaded crookedly, don’t pay attention to the terrible detail, look at the backlight). This moment was really embarrassing, I didn’t encounter this on 5d m2. Those. it is clear that in such scenes the sky will be a white spot, but there was no such effect of light scattering across the frame. However, it is possible that the matter is in the lens and in the absence of a polarizer (the lens was cleaned later, although it was not particularly dirty). But there is definitely overexposure, you expect smarter automation from a camera for 100k, this moment was disappointing.
Pros
- Speed, ergonomics. The picture quality is more than satisfactory. The program on the computer is configured and works without problems. When you turn on wifi on the camera, EOS Utitlity automatically starts on the computer, after that you can shoot on the computer or download pictures. The Sigma 35mm 1.4 ART lens worked without problems, the focus catches perfectly even at an open aperture in dynamic scenes. There is a micro focus adjustment (I have not used it yet). Able to send pictures to facebook, google disk and other services. Shows focus points when viewing photos (off by default). Buttons programmable and programmable modes. Turning autofocus on and off is more convenient than turning the switch on the lens on and off.
Cons
- The transfer rate of RAW over WiFi is low, you want to download 10 files and you can drink tea. Jpeg meanwhile is transferred quickly. The fastest way is to remove the card and download via USB-3 through a card reader. The built-in chromatic aberration corrector is unregulated, it is better to correct it in Photoshop. Subjectively large weight and size. The battery charger is large, it is inconvenient on a trip, I would like to have a USB charger directly into the camera or into the battery. Additional items in the form of charging and wires for the trip are a minus, I would like to have one item, and not carry a bunch of gadgets. The same goes for flash. There is no built-in flash, I sometimes need it in practice, I just need to know when and how to use it. Buying a normal flash is plus 20 thousand, and still carrying it. Wishlist: I did not find a separate autofocus reset button on the center point. On the previous 550d, you could press del to autofocus on the center point. It would also be interesting if some buttons responded to a long press or double click. For example, so that when you press it for a long time, the drive mode changes to quiet, and when you double-click it, it changes to high speed. I would like to have a built-in depth of field calculator.
Pros
- Great camera
Cons
- What are the shortcomings here?
Pros
- Ergonomics. All the goodies of a full frame. A durable camera in every way. Original accessories at a popular price. Great liquidity in the secondary market. Classic. Pleasing to the eye. All conceivable wireless interfaces, I use from time to time. Dualpixel AF is the icing on the cake. Fastest USM optics. With desire, experience and proper JPEG settings, the output is commercial quality.
Cons
- Where are the modern video codecs? They say weak DD, seriously? The "insufficiency" of the dynamic range manifests itself only in one case, if you missed a minus by a couple of stops in exposures, and when corrected in the editor in the corners, taking into account the correction of vignetting, it turns out not two, but all 4 (depending on your glass) . Conclusion learn to shoot correctly right away, and not pull 4 stops and whine that the camera is to blame. 2 stops she will forgive you. Hellish prices for high-aperture optics (like everyone else). Color degradation after ISO 6400 at twilight, during the day you can turn up at least up to 10000. But damn it, I want 5dmk4 for the price of 6dmk2.
Pros
- Availability of wireless connections. It is very convenient, and most importantly, it works stably. I set it up once, then I just choose a PC or phone (ios 14) and it connects without any problems. Just super comfortable. Touchscreen, initially it seemed that on such a technique it would be something slowing down and uncomfortable, but it works very clearly and quickly. The swivel screen is not important to me, and it doesn’t really surprise anyone.
Cons
- I still don't know how to check mileage. So far, I have nothing to show him
Pros
- The most important evaluation criterion is the quality of the output image. The device is qualitatively assembled, the filling is on top. To really spoil the frame made by this unit, you need to try hard. In addition to manual settings, there are modes adapted for different situations. Do you do food photography? Do you want to rent a car with wiring? A clear moving object? Receive, sign. Shooting in the evening without a tripod? No problem. The camera will take 4 pictures, glue them together. No photoshop and sleight of hand. The menu is accessed in a variety of ways, including via the touch screen. The main impression of the camera is a thing. What else to expect from a Canon camera of this level
Cons
- Mode dial release button. Uncomfortable. From the word at all. The flash sync contacts are not covered by anything. Canon, don't be greedy) the lack of a tiny piece of plastic in the base kit slightly overshadowed the joy of buying.
Pros
- 1 Yes, I may be old-fashioned, but for me this is an essential advantage, and there are reasons for this. 2 Also very good compared to the crop. 3 4 After the crop, I feel much more comfortable, my fingers get tired much less. 5 but whoever needs it can use mRAW and sRAW. 6 My old crop camera limited me to ISO 1600 (there was no higher physically), with a correctly exposed image, ISO 12800 is quite working for me, especially if you work with the developer. 7 Just what the doctor ordered. 8 A great thing, especially when it is not possible or very difficult to look through the viewfinder when building a composition. 9 a very affordable price, which is very nice. 10 11 12 GPS, smartphone control, horizon level indicator, etc. (who needs).
Cons
- 1 sec? Fuck, I don't use it. 2 I don't use it. 3 8k, 128k? Fuck, I don't use it. 4 AF points? Fuck, I don' I'm old-fashioned) he goes and buys a camera two (three, four, five - underline as necessary) and I'm not telling you this, you do not demand from a car at the price of LADA Kalina the level of comfort and service like that of a Mercedes S-cl.
Pros
- I recently bought Zhiyun Crane 2 But the client is delighted with the quality (as we were in the first year when we fell in love with Canon) course, if you want to develop at a frantic pace, Personally, I value time and want to develop in other areas and don’t want to sit on a lot of time) compared to Sony, need more.
Cons
- Flaws ? Then listen, it doesn' this topic is not about cameras? But tomorrow, if NFC comes out on cameras,
Pros
- 1. After cropping the 650D, the whole frame's dynamic range 2. Focusing is possible in both LiveView and during recording with Dual Pixel CMOS AF. 3. Canon's full-frame tilting display. When shooting in low light, the electronic level function and glove mode can help immensely in precisely setting the horizon in your composition. Already, it's a huge improvement over the 650D's screen, which had their first touch screen. 4. The camera includes a time-lapse feature. You may set it to take images at set intervals and save them to a memory stick, or you can shoot straight into the video. The camera's delayed shutter release gives you more time to adjust colors after recording, making it ideal for time-lapse photography in 4K. 5. The ability to stabilize video electronically. The less severe of the two options for image stabilization also causes the greatest cropping to occur. When coupled with an IS lens like the original 24-105L IS USM, the minimal crop factor is able to withstand a bang with relative ease. 6. Full HD at 60/50 frames per second produces stunning visuals. After 30 frames, it still looks beautiful, but that was not my aim when I took it. 7. The control and ergonomics have been upgraded. Many controls, such as two wheels, a joystick, and a rotatable touch screen, are always within easy reach. The design of the handle is ergonomic and pleasant to hold. Comfortable in the hand. The camera's settings can be adjusted wirelessly. Just touching the phone to the camera will initiate an NFC-based WiFi connection. 8. Discharging the battery all the way is really difficult. You can use it with your existing Canon camera if you already own an LP-E6 battery. 9. Very poor protection against dust and moisture. I used the 650ku almost exclusively, with the exception of when sitting in a puddle during a downpour, and when shooting in caves, dungeons, and otherwise abandoned places; nothing untoward happened to it, save for a dirty matrix, which is easily cleaned (and here the margin of safety will be added to this). 10. After a long journey, it can be very difficult to determine, from the provided maps, exactly where in the woods a particular photograph was taken. This is why the satellite-based geographical positioning provided by a global positioning system (GPS) is such a useful tool. When turned on, one mode requires a signal at regular intervals while the other mode consumes infinite power even while the device is off.
Cons
- 1. A crop camera's phase detection autofocus sensor, with focus points that are too far to the center of the frame, making manual focusing more difficult but nevertheless producing sharp results. Even though the viewfinder covers 98% of the frame, its strong zoom of 0.71x makes wide-angle photography difficult (24mm and wider). 2. The camera cannot be powered via the USB port, which is featured in the EOS R. A Chinese vendor offers a solution, which consists of a false battery and USB output, although the setup is more involved. The original charger can't be charged with a USB cord either, but the Chinese have already solved that problem years ago. Even without the USB 2.0 speed, the Micro USB connector remains an anachronism (in 5D mark IV - USB 3.0). They were naturally insatiable speed demons. 3. There is only one SD card slot. 4. But I'd prefer 1/8000 to 1/4000. Keep in mind that Canon is also trying to move units of the 5D mark IV and that your expectations should reflect that before making a purchase. I'd like to address some of the criticisms that have been voiced in other reviews, namely: 1. 4K? If 4K were added here, it would merely be in the form of a plug with a strong crop, and the quality wouldn't even be brought up, which would be an even worse development. Other solutions are available for this problem, ones that are better suited for video, and Canon makes a camera called the 5D Mark IV. 2. Bad meter readings or DD - Get some shooting practice in! Locate the menu option that offers a metering mode selection. Adjust the exposure meter by the necessary number of stops if the third-party lens distorts the image. In general, though, it's best to avoid overexposing the bright part of the frame when the other half is under shadow. There's an HDR mode that lets you do this with 3/5/7 stops of exposure, and you can easily turn it off. 3. There is a lot of noise when using a high ISO. The main cause of this issue is a failure to properly understand the signal-to-noise ratio. As higher signal levels mean less noise, you may use an ISO as high as 6400 to take quite serviceable cityscape shots here. Under the lights at ISO6400, you will obtain a good shot, but if you take the picture in the middle of the forest or the park away from the lights, you will get noisy images at ISO100.
Pros
- 1. a screen that rotates 2. The capacity to utilize the world's best line of photographic lenses without the need for additional adapters. 3. Coolest Dual Pixel autofocus 4. Touch display: The ability to focus quickly and easily in LiveView is made possible by the touchscreen display. 5. Effective use of ergonomics 6. This is an outstanding battery. Even when shooting in LiveView mode, it continues to work for a really long time.
Cons
- 1. No sensor stabilization. This function of the Sony A7 is one of its standout features. 2. Because the size of the autofocus area in Dual Pixel mode (when viewed via LiveView) is quite large, it is not always possible to accurately focus on the desired point. This is especially true in certain shooting situations, such as macro photography, in which it might be cumbersome to gaze through the viewfinder. It is not possible to use the phase detection autofocus (small dot) mode in LiveView. 3. Yes, no 4k. Nevertheless, in the year that I have owned the Sony A7, I have never shot in 4k, which means that it is not significant to me. 4. I would point out that the swivel screen does not recline to the side a full 180 degrees, but rather somewhere around 177 degrees, which is another one of the drawbacks. Nonetheless, you will rapidly become accustomed to it. 5. The Wi-Fi connection is painfully slow. Nothing has changed from before. 6. GPS signals are only picked up outside, not inside buildings.
Pros
- -Ease of use, and one can only come away from the experience with a favorable frame of mind. -An operational autofocus system, -Ergonomic design, Wide inventory of lenses, including both new and pre-owned options. The battery seems to be holding up nicely, and the rotary touch screen is just stunning; but, after that, it's not quite as practical at 5k. -You did a good job at a high ISO. -Well constructed. Dualpixel is fantastic. Everything is laid out clearly on the menu, and it's not hard to get to any of it. Overall, a respectable second 6,000, but considering how many years have passed, they could have added more. Since the beginning of September, I have been utilizing it, and up to this point, I am pleased with it.
Cons
- -DD. equivalent to the 5D Mark 3, competed head-on with them, and found that under varied conditions, somewhere better 3 marks, somewhere 6dm2, and then the difference is negligible (a couple of percent). I found that I enjoyed the picture much more frequently after upgrading to 6dm2. In general, you should work on the frame to ensure that there are no deep valleys in the shadows. In the event that there is insufficient time, it will forgive two or three steps. And because it's obvious, I probably won't write about the fact that I'm shooting at some kind of transcendental ISO and griping about it. ISO gradually climbs to a maximum of 3200. When reporting on a vehicle, it achieves a score of up to 3200 at the ISO itself. You are able to make it even higher, but this will have an entirely different effect in other contexts.) The end result is that DD needs to be done because they have blown the problem out of proportion because they have been expecting more for such a long time and because they are using an entirely new matrix. due to the fact that it only has one SD card port, I had to make sure to bring multiple 16GB cards with me in order to ensure that I would not lose all of the data from the shoot in the event that one of the cards failed. If I merely record it in full high definition, there will be no need for a 4K video. Rendering in 4k resolution is not an easy task for a personal computer. The quality will improve when it transitions from 4k to full HD resolution. However, if there is a time-lapse available in 4k, why not include it in the video? Including it almost certainly won't be an unnecessary addition. It does not appear that the SD slot, or more accurately its stub, is very trustworthy. - AF spots that are quite close to the center "-". 98% of the viewfinder is covered; the remaining 2% is not important at all. - 1/4000 shutter speed, but I would like 1/8000, you seldom use it, but when there is anything calmer *I had to install a brand new version of Photoshop with the most recent version of Cam Raw and ate the lightroom. The RAW file is hidden from view while using capture one. New software to go along with the new camera
