Canon EOS 100D, the review of the smallest of the digital SLR - Clickblog.it (Blog)

Into 01 dsc 2284

Bigger is better Americans say. That bigger is better . But in this photograph slogan may have more or less sense depending on which characteristic is taken into consideration. If you talk about then it is obvious Megapixel race to see who offers the higher resolution . Same goes for the focal Who would not be happy to boast with friends to have in your kit a nice canvases pushed maybe luminous .

Into Lately, however, many photographers, both enthusiasts and professionals, are making it clear to the market that you are tired of carrying around heavy and bulky equipment . The success of mirrorless it is the most obvious: sacrifice the mirror reflex viewfinder and you can save space and weight. But this sacrifice is really needed?

Looking Into the new Canon EOS 100D would seem to genuinely not: the size is really small, but without giving up the reflex mirror and then to the traditional optical viewfinder . Thanks to the collaboration with Canon Italy I had the opportunity to try this small SLR with the Canon EF 40mm 1:2.8 pancake STM , a pairing where precisely are compactness and lightness the more obvious advantages.

DESIGN AND ERGONOMICS

Into The Canon EOS 100D, especially in combination with the Canon EF 40mm 1:2.8 pancake STM, fits easily into a small bag. Selective side of the compact with APS-C and fixed optic 23mm Fujifilm X100, is known as the Canon is narrower but deeper: still has roughly the same volume. The total weight, including cap and shoulder strap, it stops at around 570 grams, a true record of the balance to the reflex. In spite of everything you hold well and the controls are accessible without any special tricks even from those with large hands like mine. It must be said then that the Canon has not skimped on buttons and dials, which are present in good numbers despite the touch screen can be used to quickly and easily perform all settings. In this regard I appreciated the presence of a proximity sensor just above the viewfinder that turns off the monitor and then turn off the touch functions, avoiding problems and wasting batteries whenever the camera closer to the face or you leave it leaning against the body. Another finesse the presence of the key to activate the preview of depth of field, located just below the key for unlocking the lens: it is a really rare command on low-end SLR. Too bad you can not customize this key by assigning other functions. Another sin the memory card placed in the battery compartment, which is located close to the attack of the easel. Can not then replace the memory card and battery when the camera is on the tripod.

IMPRESSIONS OF USE

Into Shoot with the Canon EOS 100D is not so different from shooting with his older sister Canon EOS 650D. Autofocus, exposure, white balance, everything works as it should. The live view combined with the touch screen allow you to experiment with new ways of recovery, perhaps by using a finger to activate auto-focus and snap anywhere in the live image. The only problem I had about the Auto ISO, configurable only on the range of feelings. You can not choose a safety time faster, maybe when you are facing the shots at a close distance from the subject: so happens that with the 40mm equivalent of a 64mm, combined with a time of 1/60s at ISO 100 you are with the shake-while would be enough to rise to 200 ISO to get a shot perfectly clear with a time of 1/125s.

IMAGE QUALITY

Into The Canon EOS 100D features the already well established APS-C sensor 18 Megapixels, which made its first appearance in the market back in 2009 with the Canon EOS 7D. Obviously the electronics in the past four years has made great strides, so it is not surprising to see in the shots of a test cleaning and a wealth of detail up to ISO 1600. Above the chromatic noise is well controlled, but the fine detail is lost of course. In the comparison between JPG and RAW wins the latter, but the differences are visible only with 100% crops. So no problem to use and even print the JPG as they come from the camera.

ask WHAT MORE

Into the Canon EOS 100D only ask some improvement software aimed at customization. I wish I could configure the Auto ISO choosing the highest shutter speed or to assign the selected shooting mode at the Preview button of depth of field. But the real dream would be to be able to have a catalog of Canon wide-angle pancake. In fact, the Canon EF 40mm 1:2.8 STM is a great glass, sharp even wide open, fast and quiet in focus. But being a 64mm equivalent is very easy to find yourself literally with their backs to the wall. If you mount a different perspective, like the kit zoom Canon EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS STM you can say goodbye to the compactness. So it would be great to have a pancake Canon 22mm, 35mm equivalent to a handyman.

CONCLUSIONS

Into You want a lightweight camera but do not want to give up the classic reflex sight? Then the Canon EOS 100D is for you. Keep in mind that there will be no special requests waivers: a digital SLR is complete in every aspect. Just remember that the compactness depends not only on the body but also by the optics: the Canon EOS 100D then becomes a toy walking only with the 40mm pancake. With all the other optics the dimensions back to those classics.

Into To conclude here is really summed up what I liked and what is not:

Likes:

Into – especially in combination with the compact 40mm pancake
– excellent ergonomics thanks to details like the proximity sensor that turns off the screen when not in use
– quality image

not like:

Into – impossible to replace the memory card and battery when the camera is on a tripod
– Auto ISO with minimum time the shutter can not be configured
– can not customize the functions of the commands

Into finally I want to thank the model Mairy Mancini for posing in test shots.
