THE BEST

The full size sensor, its excellent performance with high ISO values and its image quality . Also its focus in low light conditions. The images are very vivid and the color management is very good. It is intuitive, easy to use and very ergonomic.

DRAWBACKS

Although it is supposedly sealed against splashes, it is not a very water-friendly camera as some users complain. Better be careful. Although of course, a splash is not the same as exposing it to rain or falling into water;). The only cross focus point is the central one and it has few focus points, 11 specifically, although they may be sufficient depending on who;). Another aspect that users do not value very well is video performance. Respond well, but if your priority is video over photos, you better look for another model. It is true that in some respects it has been left behind with respect to more modern and lower-end models, such as 4.5 fps, however, it is still an excellent quality-price choice.

CONCLUSIONS

It is a camera that has been in the market for many years, yes, it is true, we do not present any news. However, this is an advantage, since many users have been able to prove it for a long time and verify that it is a great camera and that it responds wonderfully well in very different types of situations. Contrary to the saying, it is a camera of low noise and many nuts, since it works great with high ISOs and, to have the price that is being Full Frame, it will give you many nuts ;).
