So clearly, as you can tell in the video above, I unboxed and tested my new camera for the first time. Now that the honeymoon moment is over, her is what I think about the purchase I made.
Pros: The image quality is tough to beat. Everything looks much more natural on camera and a lot less blurry. My old camera has a lot of dirt in its lens and that probably has something to do with it, but it's definitely a welcome change. I also have resolved not to carry my new camera in my pocket anymore for this very reason! Still picture quality is much better than my old camera ever was. The image stabilization is tough to beat. Not only does it stabilize shakes, but also stabilizes camera rotation, which is a feature I originally hated, but have come to accept as a welcome change. 4k video! What more need be said? It also has a timelapse capability, which is a feature I have yet to test. 1080p 60fps video that doesn't have a time limit (my old camera CAN shoot in 60fps, but cuts off at 1 minute). The camera charges the battery from within the camera, a VERY welcome change especially when on the go! Cons: My new camera is a lot bulkier and heavier than my old camera. I am still getting used to it and tend to catch the sound of the strap rubbing against the camera in some videos. I lose a lot of wide angle when filming in 4k. I'm not yet sure if it's a 4k thing or the camera. This makes it difficult to film in some elevators. The audio leaves a lot to be desired. The mic is on top of the camera, which makes filming epic motors difficult, and emphasizes my voice over the sounds the elevator makes. This is a negative for me. The pop up flash is a bit tacky and feels rather flimsy. |
