Micro-single correlation

Micro-camera, single-lens camera and card camera all belong to mirrorless cameras, that is, cameras without mirrors, also known as semi-lens cameras. The difference between SLR and SLR is that the mirror structure of SLR is relatively large, and there are some differences between focusing and framing, but it has no effect on camera imaging. The maturity of the SLR system is high, a large number of lenses from the original factory and vice factory are available, and the software support is in place; Non-reflex is small in size, fast in development and convenient to carry and shoot. Both systems have their own advantages, and everyone should take what they need according to their own purposes. However, for beginners, I recommend no reflection, because using a familiar camera is the basis of photography, which requires a lot of practice. The volume and weight of no reflection can allow you to take it out and even commute, greatly improving the utilization rate; Moreover, some performance features such as touch screen focusing are very suitable for novices.

First of all, I dedicate it to Xiao Bai who doesn't want to study deeply.

A simple and rude sentence: go to the counter to see the prototype, and then buy what you like within the budget.

The specific explanation is as follows:

1, as the old saying goes: You get what you want for a penny, and don't expect to spend 3,000 yuan or 5,000 yuan to get what you want. Although the equipment at the same level is different, it is basically the same grade, and the starter kits are similar. If you are satisfied with the suit, buy it according to your own preferences. Only when you really know the purpose of your camera and put your time and energy into the hobby of photography for a long time, you need to study the lens group and system construction. 2. The difference of equipment is far less than the influence of the early and late stages on the photo effect. Cameras are not used to take pictures and count hair. Taking pictures is a kind of creation and an art ... For example, you may need brushes of different specifications to achieve different effects, but your works will not replace domestic brushes with famous foreign brands, but will advance by leaps and bounds.

Second, budget and usage are the keys to choosing a camera.

There is no perfect machine. In order to maximize competition and benefits, each factory will have different positioning for each product. For example, Fuji X-T 10, X-A3 and X-E2S have similar prices, but each product has advantages and disadvantages. To put it bluntly, it won't make you feel good. If you want to look good, buy the flagship model.

Many people plan to buy a camera. The original budget was 3-4 thousand yuan, but after a round of online research, the budget was raised to 5-6 thousand yuan ... There is a famous saying in the camera circle: buy the most expensive camera you can buy, sorry I can't agree. In the past, the camera was slow to update, and one camera was used for more than ten years. Now it is changed every two or three years, and the technology is changing with each passing day. There is no need to invest too much.

Different themes need different configurations, and the choice of body and lens will often dazzle you. Some people are too demanding, buy several lenses at a time, and usually only use one lens in the end. Some people have invested in a brand for less than a year, and finally find that it is not to their taste, and they have changed their doors. ...

So, my suggestion is:

Just buy an entry-level camera. If you have relatively abundant financial ability, you have two choices: one is to buy an extra lens and get a completely different effect from the headband, such as blurring; The second is to buy a mid-range kit to get a better control and use experience.

The budget is more than 8. 1 100 million. I think it is better to experience the full-frame camera directly.

Third, how to choose Sony Olympus Fuji

Personal views on these three cameras:

1, Sony

Sony's two machines are 24 million pixels, which is much higher than Panasonic's16 million, which is more convenient for later restoration; Sony's micro-sheet is the most balanced of the three brands. There are no obvious shortcomings, and there are not many lenses but enough. Generally, people who don't know what camera to buy will just buy Sony and won't be too disappointed. But for friends who like equipment, Sony's plastic shell is really practical, and it doesn't talk about beauty at all. Many people who look at Yan value don't look at it at all.

Sony's most practical fixed-focus zoom has anti-shake and is very kind.

Sony has increased its price this year! Incredibly, I bought a new machine before, and now I make money by selling it second-hand! The price gap between A5 100 and A6000 is further narrowed, and which one to buy is confusing. 2. Olympus Olympus and Panasonic cameras belong to the M43 system (Xiaomi joined this year). The CMOS is relatively small, about two-thirds of APS-C, and the light ratio is large. When the environment is complex, the imaging and post-processing tolerance are a little bit, but this is for extreme environments. In many cases, the gap between M43 and APS-C or even the whole picture is very small.

At present, Oba and Panasonic are in the replacement period, and the number of pixels in flagship machine has reached 20 million, but mid-range computers and entry-level computers have not been popularized. It is worth mentioning that the picture ratio of M43 system is 4:3, which is the specification of old monitors. The current LCD is more suitable for the 3: 2 photo ratio, and the photos of mainstream cameras are also 3: 2, so if you buy an M43 camera and only use 3: 2 photos, you can actually only get a picture of14 million pixels. M43 is a mature system, with high, medium and low-grade lenses and fuselage. Second-hand and parallel imports are more valuable. Olympus machines run well and feel friendly, whether high-end or low-end. Olympus is not only a face value control but also a technology fanatic. It plays with flowers in this small field of M43. Due to the limited space, I won't talk about it here, just say five-axis anti-shake. Anti-shake has always been a parameter that novices don't care much about. In fact, anti-shake has a great influence on shooting. In daily use, there will be insufficient light in many cases. The solution is to improve sensitivity, enlarge aperture and lower shutter. Assuming the same lens aperture, Sony Fuji has strong sensitivity, but Oba anti-shake Bisogni Fuji is 1.5-2, and the gap is closed. Of course, anti-shake is not effective for shooting moving objects, and it can only spell a sense of height.

Users who pursue blur effect should not choose M43. To achieve the same blur effect as aps-c camera, the aperture should be larger, which means the price of the lens is higher. 3. Fuji Fuji's sensor is exclusively customized and only used on its own camera (x-a series is useless). Its unique arrangement can eliminate moire fringes and improve its high sensitivity. At the same time, because the low-pass filter is removed, the definition will be improved, but the overall image quality should be the same as other sensors.

Fuji and Kodak are two major film and printer companies in the film era. Fuji's color matching is excellent. Compared with other manufacturers' embryo rooms (simple processing in the machine), Fuji is a hardcover room (deep processing in the machine), which can save a lot of later time if used well. Compared with other brands, the camera has more built-in adjustment functions. It can be seen that Fuji just wants JPG to meet your requirements. Maybe some users don't like cameras, so it doesn't matter. Just use the RAW format.

Fuji's new generation CMOS has reached 24 million pixels, and its focusing ability is stronger from generation to generation. With several 1.4 large aperture lenses, Fuji has the ability to challenge the mid-range configuration in Quan Huafu. It's just that Fuji is squeezing toothpaste now. The new X-E2S has a new focusing system, but still uses the old16 megapixel CMOS, and the X-A3 uses the 24 megapixel CMOS (but not X-T2), but still uses the old focusing system ... So, I only recommend X-A2 and X-T 10, which is more cost-effective.

Fourth, other options.

1, the price of Canon E0S-JD.COM M3 is in the early 3000 s, with 24 million pixels. The CMOS score is not as good as that of Sony core machine, but it is basically enough. In order not to affect the sales of its own SLR, the performance of the fuselage is very general, but in order to share in the micro-single market, Canon has introduced two micro-single lenses with high cost performance, 1 1-22 wide-angle cookies and 22mm cookies around 500 yuan. At the same time, Canon can use the Canon SLR lens on the micro single lens through the cheap adapter ring. Therefore, Canon should be the system with the least lens input.

This year, Canon introduced M5, which will finally compete with various micro-singles in performance. The new CMOS and brand-new design are quite powerful, but the price is still relatively high.

If you don't want to spend more money, or plan to enter the Canon SLR in the future, you can consider the Canon M system. 2. Panasonic Corporation of Japan

Both Panasonic and Olympus belong to M43 system, and this "M" means micro. Oba, a technology freak, has made this system more and more professional, and the body and lens are getting bigger and bigger. Only Panasonic has inherited the concept of M43, and the camera produced is extremely light and the quality is not low at all. For example, GF7+ 12-32 and 35- 100, two long short sleeves, weigh only 44 1g, which is much lighter than other brands.

Panasonic has excellent focusing ability, and the Sonlai lens jointly launched with Leica is of high quality. Panasonic's positioning is very pragmatic, the product price is very high after stability, and the camera quality control is better than Oba.

3. Fixed-focus card machine If you think it is enough to take pictures with your mobile phone, but you want better picture quality, you can consider a fixed-focus camera, such as Fuji x 100s, x70, Ricoh GR, and the APS-C base like the mainstream. The picture quality is guaranteed and the price is 4-5 thousand. It is worth noting that GR has wide-angle additional mirrors, and X 100 has wide-angle and standard additional mirrors. Although it is more expensive, one machine can cover multiple focal segments, which is still portable and practical.

4, zoom card machine Not everyone wants to buy a camera to shoot large-scale award-winning publications, most home users just want a "zoom phone", the picture quality is enough. Long-term production of card machine has always been11.7 photosensitive chip, and the picture quality is still very poor. In 20 12, Sony introduced 1 inch cmos card machine RX 100. Its light appearance and powerful performance subvert people's traditional impression of card machine, and it is called "magic machine". Up to now, there have been five generations, and each generation has made great progress. This machine is good enough for travel and family records. If you buy a camera with interchangeable lenses (whether micro-single or SLR) but only equipped with a pan/tilt, the effect is similar to this RX 100. But the price of this kind of machine is also high. The second generation price is currently more than 3,000, and the fourth generation price is currently more than 5,000. My suggestion is to choose one of these two models.

Because of the success of RX 100, various companies have also introduced equivalent products, such as canon G 1X M2, 1.5-inch CMOS, 24- 120/2.0-3.9 lens. It is ok to look at the parameters, but I feel little interest in watching the screen, so I pay less attention to it. And Panasonic LX 100. CMOS is larger than RX 100 and more affordable, but its size is not as light as RX 100. If you pay attention to performance, you can consider this one.

Nikon 20 16 launched three DL series one-inch machines in one breath, namely DL 18-50, DL24-85 and DL24-500, among which the wide-angle machine equivalent to 18-50 is the only one, while it is the same as RX 100. But those who plan to go public in the middle of the year are now dragging their feet, and there is no news yet. ...

Verb (abbreviation of verb) purchase channel

1, license

The price of the machine I mentioned above comes from JD.COM. JD.COM, Suning, Taobao and Yi Rui all have different quotations, so you can find the lowest price to buy.

2. Hong Kong banks or parallel imports

Mainly in Taobao, the quality control of digital products is still relatively high, and there are no counterfeit products in camera lenses, so it is also feasible to buy Hong Kong banks and parallel imports. After all, there are still seven days of return and store guarantee.

3. Used

The advantage of secondhand is that you can buy second-hand cameras/lenses for a period of time, but you can still sell them at a 20% or 10% discount, which is equivalent to playing for nothing. Second-hand quality appraisal does require some experience, but in most cases, sellers will truthfully describe the goods. As far as my experience is concerned, my second-hand transactions are relatively pleasant and have problems, but they are not fatal defects or failures.

Second-hand machines suggest buying early products of the current generation of machines. For example, Panasonic's previous generation product was12 megapixel CMOS, and this generation is16 megapixel CMOS, which has improved the overall performance a lot, so if you want to buy a machine with16 megapixel, so will other brands.

If I want to buy second-hand, I suggest looking at Panasonic and Samsung cameras. The former is of good quality and fast price. The users of the latter are early adopters and will come out to play. The quality of the camera is very good. The second-hand prices of these two brands are very low. Many 1500 machines are sold, which is of little use. It is really valuable for practicing hands and studying. Of course, if you really buy defective products, don't blame me ...

Recommend several posts using the starter kit and RX 100, all of which are late.

After reading these, go to Zhongguancun, color film Wuji and so on. And read quite a few posts posted by novices. Those are the most authentic effects you took after you bought the camera. Then, try to smooth out the gap and make yourself reach the level of the above positions. The final summary is as follows: 1, digital products are updated too fast, just right, don't think too much about it in one step.

2. The influence of lens on image quality and effect is more important than the fuselage, and the lens is more valuable and durable than the fuselage.

The camera is just a tool. If you want to take a good photo, you must use good tools, but you can't rely on tools, let alone give up basics, and turn "using tools" into "playing with tools" and "comparing tools".

4. For friends who don't care about weight and portability, pursue cost performance and plan to invest for a long time, SLR is more suitable for you. Although I recommend no reflection, my recommendation is one machine and two mirrors at most, which is cost-effective. If you want to pursue the ultimate without reflection, your investment is no less than the whole picture.
