Let's talk about Sony QX 1, APS-C format, and whether the camera is worth it.

I have written two articles about Sony QX 1. It is extravagant to spend so much ink to share an expired black technology, but it also causes some thinking.

First of all, it is appropriate to share a group of photos of Sony QX 1, or interpret this lens micro-single as Sony α5000, so I think the imaging quality is no problem. Of course, as for some shooting angles and shooting timing, it is not for us to decide. Of course, I am quite satisfied with this set of photos, at least some of which can be used as mobile phone wallpaper or computer wallpaper.

In addition to shooting the scenery with Sony 10- 18 F4, I also photographed the animal friends along the way, but the lens was changed to Sony 70-200 F4.

When I was photographing the ruins of Guge Dynasty in Zadatulin, I also met Mao Ge who accompanied me to take photos. We were messy in the cold wind for an hour. ...

Finally, I shared a night scene without a tripod, and took a photo of Potala Palace under the light of the window sill.

As for portraits, I don't know how to take pictures. In addition to using 10- 18 F4 to take a selfie is very convenient (selfies will not be sent), I took a photo of an old woman, which is very kind.

I still want to say a little more about APS-C cameras. Although overwhelming, Quan Huafu only reduced the difficulty of retouching.

Judging from the photos we took, if it weren't for commercial shooting, the photos we took would be like this:

So, according to these results, does APS-C frame lose or lose? Few, not to mention social media such as WeChat friends circle will compress pictures, but it takes more time to retouch them.

When sorting out the photos taken by Sony QX 1, I found that there was nothing serious about shooting APS-C format. Whether Quan Huafu or APS-C format is satisfactory depends mainly on whether the basic shooting skills are OK.

The improvement of photographic equipment can improve your photographic works to a certain extent, but relying too much on equipment means that you will encounter bottlenecks immediately. Of course, this theory of the uselessness of photographic equipment is not universal, and only special cameras and lenses can be used in necessary special scenes, especially commercial photography. If you travel like me at most, then ... there is no need to draw a chain of contempt at all. We just need to know that photography is an art that runs out of money ... but there is no money.

There are also friends in Weibo and WeChat group who will ask, usually there are such questions:

My answer is:

The photo sharing of Sony QX 1 is over, and I will sort out the photos in my Sony A7M2 in the next time.

This month's trip also gave me some new understanding of APS-C format and later period, and I will summarize it slowly in the future.
