Husband bought a new digital SLR camera.

A while ago, my husband started considering purchasing a new digital SLR camera for taking pictures of our car. We have had a...Nikon D5200The D5200 has a 50mm single focus lens and a 10-20mm wide-angle zoom lens. There are two types of lenses: a 50mm single focal length and a 10-20mm wide-angle zoom. the D5200 can take beautiful pictures well enough, but he was a little dissatisfied with the detail and autofocus performance, so he oftenI wish I had a camera that could take more pictures of what I see with my eyes."He said.

He also wanted to change not only the lens but also the body, since the D5200 was purchased a long time ago and was old. After much research, he ended up with a SONY α7 III digital SLR camera.

Incidentally, they considered something like this.

1) If you are going to change it anyway, it should be full size, not APS-C.I want a camera with a

(It covers the area often used for car photography, and since it is through F4, I can expect a natural bokeh effect. I decided on this lens because it seemed to be able to cover the area I often use for car photography while also providing a natural bokeh effect.)

But this lens is quite popular.It's been sold out and unavailable ever since it went on sale last fall.He looked for it in many places and finally found it on Mercari and bought it. It must be so popular.

Sony α7 III digital SLR camera

So the other day, the actual Sony α7 III digital SLR camera finally arrived at my house. It looks the same as the picture below, and the body is much more compact than my SLR. However, it seemed quite heavy for its appearance.

The body is so much more compact than my last SLR! But the lens is big, so it is very heavy when I hold it. By the way, I thought I understood the explanation about the body and lens after spending about an hour listening to it the other day.When I was going to write an article today, those knowledge had completely disappeared into oblivion...(-_-)I'm still not very good at mechanical things.(I'll be told it's not that I'm not good at it, but that I'm not interested in it...)

By the way, if you look at price.com, the body alone costs about 210,000 yen at the cheapest, and the lens costs about 150,000 yen, so the total cost is about 350,000 yen....

Photography Comparison

I thought, "Even if I buy such a good camera, I'm still taking good pictures with the one I have now, so what's the difference?"But this is really amazing. The focus is instantaneous, the speed of the continuous shooting is fast, and even a casual shot of a table or chair is beautifully captured. The blurriness of the background is also amazing.

So this time, I decided to compare the differences between the Boxster taken by my husband with the previous camera and the one taken with the α7 III.(Slightly different shooting angles, different weather...)First.

(1) Diagonally (a little far)

The first photo was taken with the D5200. It's beautiful enough, though.

And the next one was taken with α7Ⅲ.

Snap! and the car is in focus and there is no weird distortion. Next.

(2) Diagonally back

The first one was taken with the D5200.

The next one was taken with the α7 III.

It's still beautiful.(The weather is too different, though.)Next.

(3) Diagonal front (slightly up)

First, the D5200.

Next, α7 III.

I still think the Boxster looks even cooler with the Alpha 7 III.

Finally.

Back half

First, the D5200.

Next is α7 III.

Even if the size and angle are different, it's still beautiful.

By the way, you can take very beautiful pictures of children.

My husband is.If this is the case, I should have bought a good one in the first place."He said, "The Panamera Turbo has tremendous performance of its own. Just as with the Panamera Turbo, the performance of the car itself is so great that even an amateur driver can enjoy driving it no matter what the conditions are.

As for the all-important Panamera photos, my husband went to Ashiu Driveway the other day to take some, but the weather was not so good, so I will try again on a nice weekend.

Here are the camera body and lenses we purchased this time.
