robvann Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I am wondering if others have had any problems getting through QC with the current generation of mirror-less cameras? I have been shooting with a Canon 60D and am considering moving to the new Canon RP, since its smaller and lighter. -Best regards, from Canada, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Harrison Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I can understand why you might want to ask the question but in your case you would be going from a relatively old design 18MP APS-C sensor (2010) to a new full frame 26MP sensor so the image quality is going to be better in all areas I would think, the fact that it is mirrorless is immaterial to Alamy QC. For you the shooting experience is going to be slightly different because of the electronic viewfinder but smaller and lighter is a big bonus of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicky allum Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I have been using a mirrorless Panasonic Lumix G3 for many years and love it,most of my photos sold have been taken with this camera, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kuta Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Hi Rob - A lot of forum threads will show you that lots of Alamy shooters ( well, forumites anyway) have been using aps-c and full-frame mirrorless for a long time now, and even cameras with 1" sensors, especially the Sony RX-100's. I've been using the Sony a6000/a6300 etc for several years now with nary a QC issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I have been evaluating the T-30 as well. My challenge is that I am used to using the Canon F4 USM 24-105 Lens which gets me effectively 170mm zoom, which I want. I am learning that the size / weight of the camera is really related to the size / quality of the lens. ==> I didn't really see any good options in the Fuji T-30 realm that would give me the 170mm zoom I am used to? Even for the Canon RP, it has the equivalent R series lens I have now, but the weight only drops from 800g to 700g or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.Chapman Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Lumix G5 mirrorless with micro 4/3 sensor and 14-140mm lens works for me. Although I must confess to downsizing to 24MB or 17MB quite frequently to be sure of passing QC as the lens can be a tad soft sometimes.

If you're moving to an RP, you're going full frame, and that larger sensor with higher resolution will considerably increase the quality of your files. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSaunders Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Or you can look at this lens. It's supposed to be a wee bit better quality, but bigger, heavier and costs more. https://shop.fujifilm.co.uk/lenses/fujinon-xf55-200mm-f3-5-4-8-r-lm-ois 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fujifilm makes the FUJINON LENS XF18-135mmF3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens review Fujifilm also just released the FUJINON LENS XF16-80mmF4 R OIS WR lens review Both lens are designed to be weather resistant and use a very effective optical image stabilization. I just ordered the XF 16-80 which as received great reviews, it will be replacing my already outstanding XF 18-55mm. I would recommend you consider the Fujifilm camera system as they listen to photographers and consistently offer new features and upgrades via firmware updates. Hope this helps, David L.

John Mitchell Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I had a few QC fails when I switched to a mirrorless Sony Nex-3 back in 2012. However, the fault lay with the photographer, not with the camera. Once I figured out how to use it properly, my Nex-3, which still works fine, went on to pay for itself many time over. Later on, I graduated to a Sony NEX-6 and now use the Sony a6000. I like both these mirrorless cameras very much, especially the a6000 and have had no problems at all with QC. I sometimes miss the feel of a bigger DSLR, but overall no regrets. Mirrorless is good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of a maverick on magnetism I gather. I hadn't heard about the new 16-80 either, that's a very impressive review and it does seem like the ideal alternative to Canon's 24-105mm, at least in its full-frame role, thanks for that.

Bryan Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I went from a Canon 5DII to a Sony NEX 6 and have since moved on to a Sony a6500. Never had a QC failure with either camera. I'm not wild about Sony kit lenses, I've not yet found one that can match the Canon 24-105 for wall to wall sharpness on full frame, but you can fit virtually any old lens to the Sony, using an appropriate adapter. I still have the Canon 5D, and use it occasionally in the house, but the little Sony is my standard stock camera. The sensor is excellent, and, becoming longer in the tooth, I much prefer to carry the much lighter camera. Then there is the viewfinder, the current crop of electronic viewfinders are superior, in my view, to the optical viewfinders to be found on DSLRs. It's possible to zoom in at 5 or 10 times magnification to check the focus, while contrast detect focusing is a boon. The king is dead, long live the king!

Harry Harrison Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Whilst on the subject of mirrorless, Fuji have unofficially announced their new X-Pro3. The most obvious and radical new feature is a screen which you have to flip down to view but otherwise displays a small LCD mimicking the end of a film box with basic information only. An interesting development and something of a purists camera, rather like a half-way house to the Leica M10-D or the M Edition 60 before it, but in a mainstream camera. It's maybe not the perfect Alamy camera but I rather like the sound of it. I was wondering what camera manufacturers might do once the race to get more pixels petered out. https://www.35mmc.com/30/09/2019/fuji-x-pro-3-design-philosophy-i-can-get-on-board-with/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
