I went out into the vineyard for a late afternoon walk with Tasha yesterday afternoon, and I took my "new" old camera with me. It was a test. Reviewers say the Sony DSC-RX100 M2 camera can take good pictures in low-light situations. It was almost dark when I went out just before sunset, especially since a bank of dark clouds was moving in from the west. I'm pretty happy with the results I got — these images are much sharper than the ones my Panasonic cameras can produce, even though some of them are still pretty soft when viewed at full size on a big monitor. I processed the photos in Photoshop Elements, cropping them and adjusting sharpness, contrast, brightness, and colors.
I was lucky yesterday — it didn't start raining until I had been back in the house for a few minutes. So far, I'm pretty happy with the Sony camera. It doesn't have a very long zoom, but I already have a Panasonic camera with that feature. What the RX100 does have is a good wide-angle lens and a 1.8 F-stop setting, which is better for low light conditions. For this test, I took both close-up and wide-view shots. The slide show runs for less than two minutes.
bien belles photos d'automne... j'adore les gros plans ! Bravo 👍
ReplyDeleteMerci, Christiane. Le nouvel appareil m'a l'air pas mal.
DeleteIt looks like your Sony camera is a very good buy.
ReplyDeleteI like buying a used camera (with good return options like Amazon's) to see what the camera is like. I might decide later to buy a new model, if I'm happy with the used one. So far so good.
DeleteI especially enjoyed the ones around 1:25 and 1:30, with the vineyard, and its stakes, in front of you, and the sky and hamlet of houses in the distance. Lovely collection!
ReplyDeleteThe flying birds look good. I'm glad the new camera is working out.
