評價:
The whole reason for buying this camera was to have something pocketable on top of my EOS dSLR. Out of all the other consumer cams out there, here's what the FX36 kills
2. 25mm wide lens, which would have cost ~>$3000 on its own. Useful or group photos, architectural and landscape photos... or when you have someone random to hold the camera for you.
3. having high ISO and O.I.S, reduces the need for using xenon flash; that means less blinking photos and fat photos.
4. semi-auto low light compensation, virtually widens the dynamic range (with some extra noise and extra processing time, of course), but very useful- less dark faces when you have a bright source behind your back (and when you just hate to use the flash)
5. acceptable noise level at iso400. For this camera size, this price, this sensor size, I would not complain. iso800 is still okay for 3R print if you took it at 10MP. You can always "hide" the noise by shrinking the picture if you are lazy (3MP is still very usable), or use photoshop... I would prefer noisy-sharp photos over blurry-clean photos
Reasons I bought the FX36 over FX520
1. ~$800 cheaper
2. focus speed is faster (try for yourself at the shop)
3. smaller, since I wanted to buy a pocketable camera on top of m dSLR
4. battery lasts longer with the smaller screen
5. more colors to choose from
All in all, I'm very satisfied with this camera, minor set-backs are listed below.
