Foreword At the National Folk Song Festival, the idea of ​​buying a small body camera was getting stronger and stronger, and it coincided with the daily activity of the camera brand of milk tea, so they went to the sea and joined the double 11 to buy and buy! My budget is a pocket camera with a size of 4000 or less. As a photo enthusiast who is accustomed to using SLRs at ordinary times, I do not want pure fool-style operation. I can pat the scenery or sister paper when I go out to play. Beauty. Reason for selection Sony black card series cameras currently have 5 generations, although the first and second generation are cheap, but the hardware is old, the focal length is 28-100mm, the aperture is F1.8-4.9 lens is also a bruise; new out of the 4th and 5th generation There is a slight increase in photography, but it costs more than 2,3000 yuan. Mainly video and focusing systems, such as 4K video, high frame rate slow motion, S-log2, focusing speed, and so on, these features do not have much demand for my photography. Looking at the overall price, I personally think that if you are playing with photography, the highest price/performance ratio is black card 3. Then look at the Panasonic LX10, both of which look, pixel, focal length, aperture are very similar, while using 1 inch sensor, the lens you have "Zeiss", I have "Leica", is so dry, playing fierce! Panasonic LX10 advantage is 4K video, wide-angle end f/1.4 large aperture, five-axis image stabilization, touch screen, etc., is more biased towards the video, five-dimensional keys are five independent keys are not a dial, three words: no! like! Huan! In addition to the Panasonic LX10, the G7X m2 of the Toothpaste Factory was included in my list of comparisons. The overall size, appearance and pixels are similar. The advantage of Canon is that it is equipped with an equivalent 24-100mm f/1.8-2.8 lens, has a flip touch screen, there is the "Canon screen", you know, is the camera screen Look at the color is particularly good-looking. Although I am an old Canon user, but this G7X m2 did not move to me, and the top of the machine too much, and decided to choose Sony Dafa! In the aspect of price, in Zhang Ama’s commodity encyclopedia, we inquired about the historical discount price, and maintained it in the range of 3800~4000 all year round, the lowest price was 3,600 yuan, and the milk tea spike price was 3899 during the double-eleven period, plus plus-211劵. Finally won the price of 3688 yuan, sent an SD card reader, the favorable margin of approval, double 11 on the same day 3888 yuan, 3677 yuan later, I lost 11 blocks. Simple unpacking It may be due to the double eleven. The delivery speed of JD.com has been at a constant level. I am placing orders at around 9:40 am on November 2nd. The normal situation is that it should be delivered around 5 pm on the same day. But this time it was delivered one day later. With so many delays, I was worried that the delivery process was not a surprise. I sent the first time to take a look at the box. Fortunately, there was no damage to the outer packaging. The strange thing is that even though JETO's own thin-film plastic paper was breaded outside, the camera case was still a little dusty after tearing. It felt like it was for a while. You know, the rivers and lakes claimed that the second-hand east wasn't indecent, and carefully looked at the seals of the sony, ah! When it's undamaged, there's no big problem if you look at the main body, and you can rest assured. The box of the box adopts a large area of ​​black, and the big white “SONY†logo is particularly eye-catching. The Zeiss “ZEISS†blue label on the package is surprisingly low-key, and the box is covered with various functions and technologies contained in the camera. On the right, there are some accessories that the official recommends. The box contains the RX100M3 camera, battery, lanyard, shoulder buckles on both sides, charging head, USB cable, several manuals and warranty cards, and more. Appearance details Sony's RX100 series since the positioning is a pocket camera, the whole machine is relatively small, only about 101mm, shorter than my iPhone6 ​​38mm. The black metal body looks technically full. Although there is a big “SONY†logo on the side of the front face of the camera, it is far from the eye-catching ZEISS “blue label†below. The left side of the fuselage layout is relatively simple, at first glance to see clearly the NFC logo in the past, FINDER key is the electronic viewfinder switch, the camera strap is down the strap buckle position. The right side of the fuselage has two sockets, micro USB and HDMI. When opening the cover, pay attention to force. Use too much strength or position is not easy to buckle damage, next to the same is the strap buckle position. Because both sides of the camera are smooth, one hand holding the camera will feel unrestrained. It is recommended that you use your shoulder strap or hand strap when using it. The back of the fuselage has a 3-inch screen that can be flipped 180 degrees, and the black side is a little bigger. Like other cameras, the main buttons are on the right side of the screen. The layout of the keys is exactly the same as that of their own micro-smart a7 series, which is proportionally reduced. Feel slightly harder than my Canon 6D, but the most favorite is the five-dimensional buttons can be customized. The top of the fuselage is divided into two sides, the left is the electronic viewfinder, the middle is the flash, the right is the power button, WT zoom, mode dial. In addition to the usual M, S, A, P, and Auto modes, the photo mode dial also includes auto-enhanced, SCN, and MR modes. Auto-enhancement is a bit higher than auto-saturation. Photos look brighter and under low light. Shooting will take a few shots and then composite; SCN is the scene mode, the popular point is the automatic file after classification, and then add a filter effect; MR is the manual file save preset. The bottom of the fuselage has a tripod screw hole that, like many card cameras, puts the battery together with the memory card. feature design The camera's own built-in flash is very compact, but it can also change the angle of the sky to play and jump, what is very rare in such a small camera. The rotating ring of the lens is customizable. The default is to adjust the lens aperture size. It can also be set to zoom or focus. Imagine rotating the rotating ring to achieve lens zoom or manual focus. It really feels a little bit of SLR, greatly increasing The camera's playability, but the disadvantage is that the response speed is slower. Next to the lens is a focus-assist lamp. In a dark place, the camera will not be on focus. This time it needs to be used. Electronic viewfinder, I think this is the function of the whole camera has a look, is one of the reasons I chose the black card. Shooting with high power, shooting in the sun is also fearless. Under normal light, the delay is not large, with dioptric adjustment, although the pixel is not high, but it is enough. To Tucao is, close the electronic viewfinder, the camera will follow the automatic shutdown, it is a wonderful setting! However, it is said that the new version has revised this issue. The black card is equipped with Zeiss sonnar lens with T* coating. The 24-70mm in the advertisement is only the equivalent of the full-frame focal length. The conversion factor is about 2.7, so the actual focal length of the lens is 8.8-25.7mm. The actual blur effect of a large aperture is probably f4.9-7.5 (Is it a big hit?). Fully armed Sony RX100M3 camera On the battery side, the original assembly of a 1240 mAh battery, 5 volt 0.5A output charging head and micro USB cable, in fact, I do not like this way to directly charge through the body, although the official charger + battery Accessories kit, but the price is as high as 549 yuan. However, the advantage is that you can use the mobile charger to charge the camera. In this era of a mobile phone charger, the black card 3 is not afraid of no electricity. Distortion test The wide angle of the black card 3 to increase the aperture is a common combination of self-timer and macro, we first look at the distortion of the lens 24mm wide-angle end: 70mm telephoto end: From the above two photographs, the 24mm wide-angle end and the 70mm telephoto end of the lens have slight distortion, but it is not obvious, and it is hardly affected by the later PS correction. Real shot test 1, virtual ability Many people who buy this camera believe that it is fancy that it has a large aperture of f1.8. What is the effect of this f1.8 large aperture lens and the full frame f2.8 aperture with the equivalent 24mm focal length? The following picture shows the black card 3 shot with a f1.8 aperture 24mm focal length: The following figure is shot with the Canon 6D+Sigma 24-70 f2.8 art lens: 2, latitude In the process of test shooting, there were just a few overexposed ones, and one of them was selected as a latitude test because my habit was to use the RAW+jpg format to take pictures, so that I could use the mobile phone to quickly print pictures on the road. Second, jpg can be used as a preview image, and then you need to use RAW for finishing. The following picture shows the overexposed proofs: In the photos, the over-exposed parts of the person's right-hand arm, underneath the floor, and the hat were overexposed. The following picture shows the RAW format: The camera Raw filter in the PS pulls down the highlights and whites, and then reduces the exposure. The details of the entire picture are basically back. Personally, this level is very good in the card machine. The following picture shows the jpg format: Although most of the jpg format can also be pulled back, but the right hand above the arm, below the floor and left shoulder is still overexposed, so I suggest that if you plan to post, then photos should try to use RAW format to shoot. (Here is a little lazy, no exposure to forgive me forgiveness) 3, self-timer Have to say, black card 3 flip screen really is very practical, flip 180 ° automatically switch to self-timer mode, press the shutter countdown after 3 seconds before shooting, this will not only reduce the shutter to the body when the jitter, but also have time Have time to take a pose and move the line of sight from the screen to the lens. The following photo self-timer is a standard portrait beauty effect, the effect is closer to reality, no cell phone app or Casio self-timer artifact beauty "comfort". 4, ND filter I did not expect a small black card 3 also built a ND filter, is also considered one of the advantages, and many people may not know what use, take a look at the parameters of the following photos to compare it. The picture above shows a photo of the open ND filter. The figure below shows the same aperture, shutter, and ISO settings. However, the ND filter is not turned on, resulting in almost all overexposure. Since I have a lot of portraits, the ND filter is actually a light-reducing filter that allows you to use the maximum aperture during daytime and is not easy to over-exposure, especially if the maximum shutter speed is only 1/2000s camera. Looking at the picture below, when the weather is gray, the shutter has already gone to 1/1250s. If the sun shines brighter, it will not be able to hold it. 5, electronic viewfinder EVF The following figure shows a real shot using the electronic viewfinder. The screen shows the optical viewfinder like a SLR. The current setting parameters are displayed around, not like the screen. Various numbers and icons are filled around the screen. The lines of the nine-square grid are The spirit level can be turned off and give you a purely framing picture. 500 degrees myopia, like me, can be seen clearly after taking off glasses. Portrait test I'm quite satisfied with the black card 3 in portrait shooting. The 24-70mm focal length is very easy to use. The powerful RAW gives me enough space for the later period. Just last week about shooting sister paper, on-site test shot a few photos for testing purposes. Night test shot Usually less photographed landscape, night scene themes, so had to release the setting value for your reference. The only thing that can be determined is that compared with most of the mobile phone photography on the market today, noise control and color of night scenes still have inherent advantages. The above figure shows 100% magnification: other: experience feelings This black card 3 camera I bought from now to use, but also used for a week, there are many features not to experience, what camera installation app, the auxiliary shooting mode of each scene, etc.... To be honest, but as for the quality Well, it's really impossible to compare them with SLRs and micro-singles. Body shape is worthy of its pocket machine positioning; picture quality is also better than the card machine and mobile phone on the market; price, about 3800 yuan per year is still slightly higher, want to learn to play photography is still eight children to buy Taiwan SLR or micro-single It. advantage 1, compact body, easy to carry 2, with electronic viewfinder 3, practical focal length 24-70mm increase aperture, Zeiss certification lens 4, self-timer useful 180 ° flip screen 5, built-in ND filter Shortcomings 1, the shutter speed is only 1/2000s, the smallest aperture only to F11 2, slow focus 3, camera development is basically 0 (of course, this is a trade-off problem) 4, electronic viewfinder will automatically shut down when pressed (the new version is said to have been repaired) to sum up This pocket camera is a small, fully-equipped one, built-in ND filters, electronic viewfinder, can play flash flash, 180-degree flip screen, can be said to be a professional and fool in one, with travel enough to deal with, put Take out at any time in the pocket, the burden is much less than the SLR, even if the girls do not feel great in their hands. For me, traveling abroad can put down heavy SLRs, take pictures with friends and sisters, and enjoy the travel photography. At the same time, it is a good choice as a daily backup machine. Finally, thanks for watching, VC loves you! ~
