Η RX100 είναι μια μηχανή που χωρά στην τσέπη. Ναι, και μάλλον η καλύτερη μηχανή για ‘τσέπη’ που υπάρχει αυτή τη στιγμή στην αγορά…

Στη δοκιμή το ερώτημα είναι αν πλάνα από την RX100 θα μπορούσαν να χρησιμοποιηθούν ΜΑΖΙ με 1080p από μια pro Super 35mm κινηματογραφική κάμερα και η απάντηση είναι, ναι.

Διαβάζουμε: “In terms of video it is a no contest – both in terms of features and image quality the RX100 is the best compact camera for video on the market. “

Και άρα καταλαβαίνουμε πόσο επαναστατική είναι η RX100 tech wise. Περισσότερα σε μια πλήρη δοκιμή του eoshd.com.

Berlin Vignette – EOSHD Sony RX100 test from Andrew Reid on Vimeo.

Μια επιλογή συγκλονιστική όταν νόμιζες πως οι επαναστάσεις έρχονται σε νέες κατηγορίες προϊόντων…

Συγκεντρωτικά ο κος Andrew έγραψε για την RX100:

– High end DSLR rivaling results in a shirt pocket camera for first time – easily best image quality per cubic centimeter
– Smashes all immediate opposition (though you do pay a premium over most rivals)
– 1080/60p/50p (though not region switchable)
– 50p conforms perfectly to cinematic 25p
– Faster progressive frame rate very welcome for slow-mo
– Superb colour from the Sony Exmor even in low light
– Very little distortion from the ‘micro Zeiss’
– F1.8 aperture lens at the wide end has exciting uses
– Shallow DOF portraiture (for close-ups)
– Low light wide angle
– Low light macro
– Low light performance for a compact beats all comers especially in raw and handheld twilight mode
– Lots of firsts for a compact
– Peaking
– RGBW screen
– Full manual control in video mode
– Live HDMI out
– Extremely stealthy camera for Henri Cartier Bresson style street shooting
– Silent leaf shutter – no bang of a mirror or curtains drop of a DSLR shutter
– Entirely black apart from Sony and Zeiss logos
– As well as body, zoom lens is very compact and does not extend as far as on the G1X or a DSLR
– Lens retracts almost flush with the body – an extraordinary feat of optical design
– Very usable manual focus ring by compact standards and peaking stays on whilst recording video
– Logical control system an improvement on NEX cameras despite fewer dials (than NEX7) & more cramped body
– NEX picture profiles, make meaningful difference in video mode or when shooting JPEGs
– Raw stills (unlike HX9v, etc.)
– Nicely programmable control layout
– Very effective optical image stabilizer
– Sweep panorama and handheld twilight best implementations of such features from any manufacturer currently
– Very close minimum focus distance at wide end and above average throughout the range
– Hint of Leica X1 styling, rounded edges, minimalist and traditional, black metal
– Made in Japan

And these are his Cons:
Cons

– Front control ring ideally needs sensitivity option adding in firmware update – sometimes needs too many turns
– Feel of fly-by-wire manual focus, though reasonable, is not up there with Olympus Micro Four Thirds lenses
– No punch in focus assist in video mode (you have to use peaking instead)
– No native 24p/25p in 1920×1080 (60p and especially 50p conform well to 24/25p in post – less ideally – switch to the 1080i interlaced wrapper or low bitrate 1440×1080 25p MP4 mode)
– Stills shot whilst recording video are upscaled 4MP frame grabs, not full 20MP quality
– Stabilizer still lets handheld jitter creep into videos especially with objects that are close to the lens
– Poor placement of HDMI port
– Cannot assign peaking to a function button
– Would have liked to have seen more isolation of settings between modes. Too many settings carry over – to video mode, should be more independent (i.e., AF in PSAM, MF in Movie)
– Fastest shutter speed of 1/2000 relative to 1/4000 on most other cameras, and no built in ND filter like G1X
– Slightly wooly bokeh compared to a high end DSLR lens
