Leica d lux 7 review
I go for usability, overall quality, versatility, feel and build, pride of ownership, longevity, etc. When I pick a camera of the year, I go by things other than cost, features or bang for the buck. Again, I value the experience, the way a camera is used, the vision it brings to me. I am sure it made many Camera of the Year lists for 2018.
So many have praised this camera so you all know how good it is. But for the money, it’s tough to beat this “Do it all” entry level from Sony. The Sony A7III will win for many of course as the specs and bang for the buck are huge. Other cameras beat it in the EVF department, in the ergonomics dept, and in the usability dept. Then I thought more about all of the cameras I shot this year and one did indeed stick out above all others, for me and how I like to shoot. In fact, at first I had a hard time picking my “Camera of the Year” and was not even going to pick one! There are just too many great cameras out there these days, all are great and you can not make a bad choice!
With that said, neither these are not in my camera of the year pick though they are some of the best investments in camera gear I have made in a long while ) This and my GoPro 7 are treasured by me and I use them both every day. This camera with the 24 1.4 L II is my #1 goto video rig at home or on the go. None gave me the ease of use, the IQ and the all in one fun factor of the EOS-R for video (for what I do, which is NOT big time cinema stuff). For me it has been the best video solution I have owned over the last 10 years and I have used MANY from big DSLR’s to dedicated video cameras to pricey cinema cameras. I enjoy many mirrorless cameras these days, or should I say, enjoy testing them and using them.įor starters, the Canon EOS-R has been in use every day for me since launch, mostly for video but also for photos. From now on, the big three C, S and N will be focusing on mirrorless and that is a beautiful thing as mirrorless can bring a better experience all the way around when done right.
LEICA D LUX 7 REVIEW UPGRADE
The big gun DSLR’s we have now? There may be one more model upgrade for some of them. As in, there will be very few new DSLR’s being made starting NOW. Well here we are, at the end of 2018 and Mirrorless is taking over. I would get genuine hate mail and comments from those who did not like me praising mirrorless as the future of digital. I find it amazing and awesome at the same time as I remember so many telling me on these pages just 4-5 years ago that mirrorless would never ever beat a DSLR, and I was a fool for recommending them. One thing is for sure, this has been the year of mirrorless. I have shot with most major releases this year, the ones that got me excited to try them anyway (I do not review cameras that get sent to me to test that I end up not liking). In 2018 we had a slew of new cameras released and a few of them I loved, some I did not. It’s that time again, the end of another year which now marks 11 years since I started this website reviewing cameras and gear.
