You're welcome! :) 1. My favourite thing is probably just the fact that you can adjust everything manually. You can adjust the focus manually (though you can also just do it auto.), the exposure, ISO and whatnot which means that you can, after much practice (I'm not there yet, really, but I'm learning.) get the image you want, as pictured in your head. However, there is a really helpful thing called guide mode which tells you how to get certain images if you can't figure it out properly yourself. E.g capturing reds in sunset, capturing motion, etc. so that's pretty helpful.
2. My least favourite thing is just how heavy it is! Other DSLRs I'm sure weight similar or heavier weights, but I don't know. It's just a bit of a strain around your neck if you've been carrying it around all day! An idea would be to compare the weights of the other cameras you're interested in just by looking at the descriptions. I wasn't prepared for it to be as heavy as it was!
3. The video quality is excellent. I haven't had any reason to use it, but in a quick test I did it was superb. You can pick all the settings yourself and even refocus whilst filming which is really helpful. Everything is really clear and from what I can see there isn't any grain!
4. Nice features are the guide mode which I mentioned earlier, the fact that if you go all auto mode they have different settings like children, landscape, close-up etc., manual focus, in camera editing software (I haven't used it as I prefer to edit on a bigger screen, but it's a nice idea if you're eager to edit!) and the grip on the camera fits my long (and skinny) fingers nicely.
Wow! Congratulations! :)

Thanks so much! Just one more question. How much was it?
ReplyDeleteI gt if for the most reasonable price (new) I could find which was €650 (with kit lens) or $818. So it required a good bit of saving up for!
