Professional 20Mp Digital Camera

This camera is so responsive! image quality is impeccable and honestly i dont even notice that is 'only' 20mp. Very worthy entry into the canon lineup!

I had this lens once before. Sold when I sold a camera. Recently bought a Leica SL2 and wanted a lightweight inexpensive normal lens. Immediately bought this lens for a second time. Lightweight. Lovely color and contrast rendering. Snappy auto focus on the SL2. Granted the image files are reduced to 20MP on the SL2. However even with 20MP one can still print 20x30 inches. Bottom line I highly recommend this Sigma 30mm f1.4 lens.

I've owned a lot of M43 cameras over the past 13 years. The ones with the 20MP sensors have all been pretty good, but there have been some compromises in some of the models in terms of EVF, or IBIS, etc. I did not expect to like the G95 as much as I do. I had had a GX9, which has quite good image quality, but which had iffy IBIS and a terrible EVF, so I was looking for an alternative. I didn't want a G9, as it was too big, so I decided to try the G95. Surprisingly enough, it's a great size; I shoot a lot with the PL 100-400mm and it balances really well with it, and the IBIS is far superior to that in the GX9. The EVF is very good, nice and big, and the camera really just feels good in hand. Output is very typical of the 20MP sensored bodies. SOOC jpgs are just a touch less punchy than the same on the GX9, but if you PP the RAWs the same, they are identical in output. And here's the critical test: Even though I have an S5 for more specialized shooting, the camera I find myself reaching for to take with is the G95. It's just enjoyable to work with, and light enough to not feel like you are toting a boat anchor with a bag of brick lenses. I highly recommend it, especially with some of the sale pricing that's come around on it in the past few months. It's a bargain for what you get.

The Black and White Mode is the first real film look i have found in any professional digital camera paired with the metal body, size and overall rangefinder design with the addition of the mode dial have all restored the digital camera back into the long historical evolution of the street photographer's camera.

While digital technologies continue to be perfected with professional camera use and their widespread applications, the latest Sony RX1RII fixed Zeiss lens camera (other cameras allow long-lens variants) exceeds expectations, especially when printing work on a large scale (with the Epson Stylus Pro 9900). While some relatively minor imperfections exist as with all cameras that professionals adjust to, the expansive quality of color, remarkable low-light resolution, extraordinary image quality and virtual unlimited visual potentials provide challenges that move into unchartered territory for artists (see attached site-specific photographic installation of 112x152cm prints). The most problematic issue is not Sony's: Adobe Photoshop has abandoned the long supporting professional community by not making a plug-in for this camera's RAW files (ARW in Sony terms). Two alternatives: 1) join the CC monthly feed of Adobe Photoshop (APS), abandoning the experienced professional use of all former Photoshop versions, or 2) for 99$ purchase the most basic APS Elements software that notes the Sony RX1RII RAW files are supported, at least noted in Elements literature. What a way to treat loyal professionals and Sony over the years, claiming that CC is better without meaningful details justifying the obvious money first, customer second policy for purchasing the CC version. Not mentioning inevitable future rises in CC prices, non-copyright protections in-Cloud, and not allowing printing in your studio with your own APS, even when CC RAW is tiff converted. Sony's RX1RII with Zeiss lens and its internal digital processor chip is remarkable for what the eye can see (numerous professional digital cameras now exceed what can be seen without mention), even with the rare if not unprecedented 600$ additional cost recently by Sony.

I've had 10 different digital cameras. I've done professional video and stills throughout my working life. My G9II (and Gh6) is the best camera I've ever used. The AF on the G9II for BIF and sports is extremely good. The video is a professional grade documentary or B roll cinema camera. Pair it with Panasonic PL grade lenses and it becomes a tool with which you can do your best work. The handheld hires is amazing.

I am not a professional photographer but enjoy taking photos. This is my first monochrom digital camera and it is really impressive. The quality of the photos is really amazing. I also have a Q2 but the B&W output from Q2 is definite different from the Q2 monochrom.

I was using a compact digital camera and love snap shots. I wanted to try a little bit more professional tryle and bought this EP3 camera. The manufacturor is fcing trouble now but this camera is fantastic. This looks very classical but its functions are great. The quality of pics are just like DSLRs but much lighter. And, easy to use.

For all of us who cannot spend the money on the Lecia, Pentax gives us a wonderful Monochrome digital camera. Based on the K3 chassis it is a Monochrome only Pentax K-3 Mark iii. It is an APS-C professional-level camera. With excellent ergonomics that Pentax is known for. Yes everyone is dashing off on mirrorless but the bright, eyeglass-friendly viewfinder is wonderful. With a nice catalog of lenses, this is a black-and-white camera that can be used in any situation. Finally black and white with excellent fine resolution, usable high ISO, and professional grade. The images have fine detail, highlights, and shadows. Easy-to-use menus and settings that address every situation you may encounter. For those who remember all those color filters for black and white are usable to manipulate the the images before tripping the shutter button. Two things to consider. LCD panel does not flip up or rotate. I use a Ref a right angle viewfinder by Pentax. It works well on all the 35mm Pentax cameras and some other brands. It rotates and has a 2x setting which is nice for macro. The other thing I have noticed is the very sensitive shutter button. It has a very sensitive and short motion to trip the shutter. I can highly recommend this camera to anyone who wants to do Monochrome. You will not be disappointed Monochrome is far from a niche place in photography. You see it in many venues. It is not limited now to the conversion of color digital or shooting film. We now have a well thought out Monochrome from Pentax at a more palatable price than Lecia.

I use it as a back up for my digital camera.
