This review is from: Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Digital SLR Camera w/ EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens DavisMAX LPE6 Battery UV 4GB BundleWith this camera, Sony has come to maturity in the prosumer space. I own an a100 and an a300 (the a100 I already gave to my daughter who's also getting into photography). Now for some reason, Sony is not selling a580 in the Philippines so I had to get this from Amazon. But anyway, I only had to spend about a day with this camera to say that it's worth the $$ that I spent. So now what do I like about this product:- much lighter and quieter than the a300- shoots faster- the power switch is now conveniently located at the shoot button so no need to take your eyes off your subject when you realized you haven't turned on the camera yet- more megapix... not that you really need more but it's just nice to have- bigger LCD screen- now shoots movie and panoramic shotsAlright so maybe some might be asking why I didn't go for a33 or the a55. Well, I do studio shoots too and if you're familiar with studio setups you know that live views either through the LCD or the electronic viewfinder do not work well.
This review is from: Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Digital SLR Camera w/ EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens DavisMAX LPE6 Battery UV 4GB BundleThe camera is awesome, now I know why is one of the best entry-level DSLRs. I like the accessories, all except the remote shutter... IT DOESN'T WORK WITH THIS CAMERA and they still include it in the kit. Nikon D3100 DOES NOT support wireless remote shutters.The product quality is excellent, but eventhough Sunset Electronics have a good customer service, there's a high probability of having some kind of issue with your order.
This review is from: Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Digital SLR Camera w/ EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens DavisMAX LPE6 Battery UV 4GB BundleI've been using E1 with Zuiko Digital 14-54 f/2.8-3.5 for several months now, and I must report that I am thoroughly pleased with its operation. It performs flawlessly, without any glitches, and is a solid, well built and reliable photographic tool. It is a joy to use in the field.Image quality is nothing short of excellent. A3 sized prints from E1 easily match my best slide scans from 35mm film. The images are clean, vivid, sharp, with beautiful colors, which reminds me of Kodak emulsions. Once I made a beautiful, clean A4 print from a small cropped segment of a portrait; at this enlargement, the entire picture would exceed A2 paper size. 5 megapixels yes, but 5 megapixels of extreme signal quality. Unlike Canon, Kodak didn't put hardware noise reduction on its sensors, so with help of NeatImage or Noise Ninja, one can make very clean prints even at ISO 800. However, ISO 1600 and 3200 display banding artifacts, and are useful mostly for black&white images. Those B&W images, however, respond very well to noise reduction and produce very good A4 prints. As for the 14-54 lens, it is very sharp from f/3.5-f/11, has very good but not excellent bokeh, has extremely useful range from moderately wide to moderately tele (28-108mm in 35mm equivalents), and works best at the long end. There it really shines as a portrait lens. However, it displays some vignetting at the long end, and some cyan fringing in the corners at the wide and.So, the strong points of this camera are its absolute image quality, color fidelity, buid quality and ergonomics. On the minus side, however, there is autofocus, which leaves much room for improvement. It is slow and of little use in low light. Also, the buffer could clear faster, especially with microdrive, whose full potential isn't utilized. Conclusion: it's an excellent camera, whose real competitor is Canon 20D. Canon has a solid resolution advantage, produces good images, and works better at high ISO values. However, E1 is better built, it has an excellent kit lens which is every bit as good as Canon L zooms and rivals good primes, has built-in sensor cleaning, is splash-proof and an excellent overall package. Choice between them is a matter of individual preference and taste. What made it for me was the range of focal lengths. With Olympus, I can cover my needs with just two lenses, and 14-54 is designed just right. It's wide enough and long enough for me not to need anything else for most applications. With a 35mm legacy and 1.6x crop factor, Canon's lens range is just inconvenient. Most lenses are either not wide enough or not long enough or cover the wrong range. With Olympus, I still didn't feel any desperate need to buy a second lens; 108mm equivalent is just right for portraiture, and 28mm is just wide enough for the kind o...
