If there’s one factor that photographers can do nicely no matter their ability stage, it’s complain! And there are few who complain about cameras fairly in addition to Chris and Jordan at DPReview TV. On this video, they speak about what they consider the 5 most annoying quirks on cameras right this moment. Though they don’t restrict their quirks to a specific mannequin and even model of digital camera, it does present that no model is actually good.
I’m positive all of us may give you a wholesome checklist of issues that annoy us about our chosen digital camera or model, although. I shoot Nikon for stills and Panasonic for video, and I’ve positively obtained some complaints. I’d point out just a few of them later. For now, although, right here’s Chris and Jordan’s checklist.
- 1:04 – Sony’s lack of in-camera uncooked processing
- 2:33 – OM System OM-1 10-bit profiles
- 3:36 – Separate topic detection and face detect menus
- 5:28 – GH6 punch-in magnifier
- 6:48 – HDR confusion
- 9:03 – Honourable point out
I’ve to be trustworthy, the shortage of in-camera uncooked processing isn’t actually a problem for me. My Nikons have had the power to do fundamental edits to photographs in-camera for years and I can’t recall ever utilizing it. Not even as soon as. Chris and Jordan are in a singular state of affairs with that one, although, as they level out within the video. They usually get cameras manner forward of launch time earlier than there’s any help for them in Lightroom, Photoshop or Seize One. And if there’s no in-camera processing of the uncooked recordsdata to spit out a jpg with just a few enhancing tweaks then they’re just about caught with the common in-camera jpg on the time of capturing. For the remainder of us although… Have you ever ever used in-camera uncooked processing?
The GH6 situation that they point out isn’t a problem for me, both, as a result of I don’t have a GH6. However I do have a GH5, three G80s and two GX80s (that’s the G85 and GX85 for People) and I’ve one massive situation with them that forestalls me from actually utilizing any of them for stills and that’s the shortage of steady capturing flash help. My Panasonic GH5 can shoot as much as 12fps but when I’ve obtained my Godox XPro-O set off for Panasonic within the hotshoe, the flash fires on the primary shot once I jam my finger down on the button after which it simply sits there capturing no extra photos.
Apparently, if I put the Godox XPro-N for Nikon in there, which has no communication with Panasonic apart from the centre “set off” pin, it’ll shoot constantly at full velocity and the flash will hearth each time. In fact, I get no HSS with the Nikon set off. Identical cope with the G80 and GX80. Panasonic’s newer cameras aren’t any completely different. If you would like steady capturing with HSS, it’s important to purchase a Panasonic flash. They power you to purchase their overpriced and underpowered speedlight as a way to get these options you solely want when not utilizing an on-camera flash – like steady capturing with HSS!]
Be aware: I did warn you photographers wish to complain!
So far as Nikon goes, my largest grievance with them for years was their video capabilities. Nikon’s DSLRs… Nicely, they suck fairly hardcore for video – regardless of being the primary firm to provide a DSLR that would really shoot video – which is why I solely use them for stills and I’m completely proud of them for that. They appear to have fastened a whole lot of these points lately with mirrorless, however I’m but to leap on the Z mount practice. I’m not solely positive I’m going to but, both.
What do you shoot? and what’s your largest grievance about it?
