At the risk of many unfortunate, yet we must recall some basic truths:
- No, the number of megapixels is not an image of quality.
- No, it's not the camera that makes the picture is the one that triggers the ...
From there, talk about old CANON G11 is no longer a sign of insanity. Of course, I immediately reassured the most tech savvy and hyper connected of you, it is widely exceeded across the board by APN today, even exceeded them by tomorrow devices etc .. etc .. .
But then, a part of the equation sometimes escapes the logic and this unit is proof.
* This is a device constructed as a tank with a hard metal shell as the melting heater.
* The look does not affect any fleeting fashion, to the point that one wonders if this is not just a utilitarian object. We ask you to a monkey wrench to be trendy?
* Ending with the appearance of the machine, it can fit in a (large) pocket as it is (relatively) compact. But its 500 grams and some assume that among your accessories include a needle and thread sewing ...
Past the coldness of the metal (literally!) And look almost "Soviet" of the G11, the device calls you ... Looking closer, and before turning it on, you find an impressive array of buttons and also metal wheels, some on two floors!
In reality, it is almost the same configuration setting that could be found on cameras of the glorious era of the film. Besides the trigger surrounded by the zoom control (electric, alas), an adjustable throne two levels, the upper part allows the selection of the shooting mode (Auto, PSAM, scene, video ...) and the crown lower adjusts sensitivity (ISO). Similarly, the other side flash support, a toothed wheel is discovered for the exposure compensation.
Also in the same vein, the machine has an optical viewfinder! A rarity these days! Okay, the window shows only 80% of the actual frame (smaller image on the screen). An external flash media adds to the fun.
For a few, you would think that the rear façe has a cover to load the pelloche .....
Well, let's be serious. It's full of sound and well placed buttons that allow you to control the beast without having to dive into the pages of settings while your subject is already barred impatience ... The icing on the cake is of course the rotating screen in all directions. This kind of thing, when you have tasted it, it's like a hard drug! And incidentally, you save physio ...
You want me to tell you the truth? This equipment is among the most successful I've used. And, believe me, I've spent lots of others. Him, he never flinched ...
Ah yes, the images? Compared to recent devices, obviously the ancestor is exceeded. That said, if you're not part of the soft hallucinated pixel and you know how to use a picture other than AUTO machine is still very good, even more if you know how to handle a software.
In short, finally, remember that nothing is connected to this machine. No Wi-Fi or GPS, and no special effects to make it look like your mother in a goldfish. No touch not on the screen, it avoids to ask why the blue sky looks so fat .....
If you have one, keep it safe. If you want one, good luck! For the reputation of this unit is not usurped and no doubt thanks to the great wisdom of planned obsolescence, we will manufacture in addition to like him.
Have as similar to a silver digital is not the story of the dream of eternal youth ...
What is this story already?
