Chapeau, y punto pelota.
Como ya dije en su día, en esta nueva etapa «slow» de Fotochismes, de Imaging Resource no iba a poner nada de sus análisis hasta que los finalizaran, evitándome y evitándoos el interminable culebrón de capítulos.
Hoy ha acabado el de la Sony Alfa 7R III, y hoy si os lo pongo.
La conclusión es simple:
- Imaging Resource: Easily one of the best cameras of 2017
- Y yo diría: «Easily one of de best cameras ever made», si no fuera por la carrocería y los menús.
Por poneros algo os pongo la relación de «pros» y «contras», y después un video.
Pros:
- Improved dynamic range over its predecessor
- Somewhat better high ISO performance
- Improved hue accuracy and skin tones in JPEGs
- Very low shutter lag
- Much improved real-world AF performance with very good subject tracking
- Can autofocus in very low light
- Class-leading burst speed up to 10 fps (8 fps with live view)
- Generous buffer depths (more than double A7R II’s)
- Improved 5-axis in-body image stabilization (5.5 stops, up from 4.5)
- 4K video at 30p with full pixel readout
- Hybrid Log-Gamma and S-Log3 included
- Full HD video up to 120p
- Much improved battery life
- New AF joystick and AF On button
- Dual SD card slots
- Added USB-C (USB 3.1 Gen 1) port
- New Pixel-Shift resolution mode
- Large higher-res EVF
- LCD is now a touchscreen
- In-camera charging and power via USB
- Can now shoot best quality JPEGs with RAW
- 14-bit uncompressed RAW now supported in continuous mode and with e-shutter
- 500K-cyle low vibration shutter mechanism
- Menus can be accessed while buffer is clearing
- Excellent external controls with lots of customization
- Movie record button moved to a better location
- Multi Interface Shoe allows for various smart accessories and adapters
- Flash sync terminal
No tan pros:
- Only one card slot is UHS-II compatible
- Buffer clearing can still be slow even with fast UHS-II cards
- Sluggish power-up compared to DSLRs
- Still no lossless compressed RAW option
- No built-in intervalometer & no PlayMemories support to add this and other features
- Native E-Mount lens selection not as good as DSLR rivals (yet)
- In-camera HDR mode sometimes didn’t detect blurred images due to slight camera movement
- Pixel Shift Multi-Shooting requires processing on the computer for final image
- Pixel Shift mode requires absolutely static subjects, otherwise composite images display motion artifacts
- Still no 4K/60p framerate
- Menu system still feels confusing
- Dust- and moisture-sealing not as robust as some competing cameras
- Small body size can feel unbalanced with larger, telephoto lenses, but battery grip or grip extension is available
- Tilt-only LCD isn’t as versatile as a tilt/swivel type
- No built-in flash
