How to choose a mirrorless camera?

As far as I know, you can’t buy new models of mirrorless cameras at this price.

Olympus and Panasonic are actually pretty good at mirrorless cameras/microphones.

< p>However, it is limited by the frame and lens group

No special recommendation

Sony’s mirrorless cameras are now dominant

Personally, I prefer NEX5 and For machines of the above level

The lens is naturally recommended to be fixed focus

First of all, there is no weak point in the fixed focus, and secondly, the mirrorless camera is more portable when equipped with a fixed focus

As for cameras with non-interchangeable lenses

Fuji can recommend it, but you can’t buy a better x100 at this price

In addition, Fuji’s response speed is still a bit slow

Sigma cameras have unique features

But the previous generations of lenses cannot handle them

At this price,

Get a nex5 with a fixed focus

Eula

However, if it is your first time to buy a camera, I still recommend a traditional SLR

Mirrorless single-lens reflex camera is better for women to use or as a backup camera

Let’s have some knowledge about choosing a digital camera

It is not limited to this parameter

1. Sensor size

The main sensor types of digital cameras are CMOS and There are two types of CCD, currently mainly back-illuminated CMOS

CMOS is a bit more functional, with more diverse functions and better compatibility. Although the image quality is not as good as CCD, the difference is too big. , it is also acceptable after technical processing

The size of the sensor directly determines the quality of the image

Generally, the larger the size of the sensor, the better the image quality. Of course, technology Different periods cannot be compared simply.

Sony is the pioneer of back-illuminated CMOS, and Canon is developing rapidly, especially in video photography.

Fuji has combined its SUPER CCD EXR with CMOS, which is considered a new approach.

2. Pixels

The problem of pixels is mainly caused by manufacturers deceiving consumers

For most people, more than 10 million pixels are already Enough

Pixels that are too large are generally more important for commercial photography

Normally people will not use photos of such a large size, and they will take up space on the computer.

3. Lens and aperture

The larger the aperture, the better.

When purchasing, try to buy one with a larger maximum aperture value.

It is rare that the maximum aperture of a lens produces the best image quality of this lens. Generally, it is reduced by three stops.

A larger aperture value is better for image quality on the one hand, and more beneficial for adapting to darker environments on the other hand.

As far as the lens is concerned, the maximum aperture value and the aperture control range are both important. A smaller aperture is beneficial to displaying more details.

It is best not to exceed five times the aperture of the lens. The so-called large aperture is sufficient for emergencies, but forget it when it comes to image quality.

Many people use both a zoom lens and a fixed focus lens just to have a large aperture and a certain degree of adaptability.

The quality of the lens is also important. The more famous ones include Leica lenses, NIKKOR lenses, Canon lenses, Schneider lenses, Carl Zeiss lenses, Sony G lenses, Pentax lenses, etc. There are also some sub-factories that I won’t talk about.

4. Brand

In fact, you still have to look at this.

Among the traditional SLRs, the main ones are Nikon and Canon, but the originator of the 135 SLR camera is Pentax, but it’s a bit niche now.

Among the new SLRs, Olympus and Panasonic have been in business for a long time, but their frame sizes are limited to 4/3. Sony is taking a different approach and is thriving, and Fujifilm is also entering this field. Each manufacturer has different priorities, so you have to understand this.

In the card, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, Fuji, and Sony are the more recommended brands.

When choosing a brand, it is generally best to choose a company with a relatively strong optical background.

The above-mentioned Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Fujifilm, and Olympus are all several. A ten-year-old manufacturer. Ricoh also has a long history, but unfortunately it is really a niche product now. I don’t know what will happen in the future, so I don’t recommend it for the time being.

Although Sony is very powerful, it has been struggling in the camera field. Until it acquired the Minolta Konica camera business, the camera business was better, but it still has not really opened up the situation in the traditional SLR field. This is One of the reasons it takes a different approach.

5. Lens applicability

The important reason why it is difficult for other SLR manufacturers to open up the situation is that

There are not enough lens groups and other accessories as Support,

Just look at the brochures of each SLR manufacturer.

The first choice is Nikon and Canon. Both of them have their own merits. Secondly, I personally recommend Pentax.

Nikon and Canon have different mount types, so Nikon’s mount is slightly smaller and Canon’s mount is larger. This is why the Nikon’s lens with the largest aperture is a little smaller than Canon’s. In fact, No big deal, just saying.

6. Controllability

What is more intuitive is the number of buttons (including custom buttons) on the camera.

Of course, in fact, the so-called controllability is more than just This point

The number, position and function settings of the corresponding positions are all very particular

The settings of the electronic operation interface.

The size of each component of the camera, the degree of user-friendliness, and the feel in the hand.

But other than using it, most people really don’t know what it is like except to look at the number of buttons and the corresponding functions. Fortunately, the problem is not fatal.

7. Focusing and metering systems

In fact, card cameras also have them, but they can basically be ignored.

Canon and Nikon represent the best in this aspect, at least in terms of comprehensive aspects.

By the way, low-end SLRs use a five-way mirror, and high-end single-shot viewfinders use a five-way mirror.

The latter is brighter and clearer, but in the visual range There are differences in magnification.

8. Body material

Card machines are basically made of plastic, with very few metal ones. The solid point of metal, but its thermal conductivity is obvious.

Better SLRs are made of magnesium-aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and strong, and generally has better waterproof and sandproof properties.

This is a reference factor, what configuration is available at what price.

The above is almost the main content that needs attention.

There are others,

such as the screen, its pixel value, and its visual range;

For example, the place of production, generally Japan is the best. But many of them are from Suzhou, Thailand...

Recommendation

I won’t say specific recommendations and specific models,

If it’s not a waste of money , buy new rather than old, but the price of electronic products drops quickly, and the previous generation flagship products will be a good choice

Traditional SLRs: Nikon, Canon

Mirrorless cameras: (Fashion) - Sony; (Control) - Olympus, Panasonic; (Picture quality and patience) - Leica, Fuji;

Consumer machine: Fuji (good value for money, complete functions, The function is not super powerful, but it is enough) - F series,

Canon (the most user-friendly, comprehensive and balanced, but not very cost-effective) - IXUS series (fashion, women),

p>

SX series (portable telephoto machine, travel, men),

Panasonic (solid workmanship, excellent image quality), Nikon (moderate)

Telephoto machine: Fuji (manual focus ring, good practice, but there are still problems) - HS series, Canon, Panasonic, Nikon

Professional card machines: Panasonic LX series, Canon G series, Nikon P7*** series , Canon S series.

Just check the specific model according to your own investment scope.
