Originally posted by rcdurston Well tomorrow I'm hopefully meeting with a rep to chat about some of the issues I feel are at the forefront with the 645z.
I've narrowed it down to my top five.
1. Chromatic aberrations on the lenses, I can accept some of the older ones but the brand new 55mm is one of the worst offenders
2. AF is near useless. Can I be the only one who finds the sensor zone too small and the AF system/controls way over complicated. It is also not accurate enough to be usable.
3. Why is there a wait time between firing the shutter and the ability to change the ss or aperture?
4. Tethering option
5. Auto gain on LiveView. You can't over ride the exposure in LV so you can focus on contrasty subjects.
Any comments?
thanks
Rob
rcdurston,
You are spot on with these issues. I am a working pro photographer for about 15 years now. I've shot about four jobs with my 645z. Just on my last shoot for Variety magazine I shot a portrait
with the 55mm after viewing my dng's I noticed CA on the subjects Levi's jeans. Really? Like you said.. older lenses I can let it slide but with $5000+ DFA lens this was disappointing. I was shooting Canon-1dsMk3 before and never had any issues with this.
645z is a great camera for a great price but if they are marketing this for pros then they really need to address these issues. Even more frustrating is seeing IT2 disc released in other countries already and nada in the US yet??
Good to hear you are trying to take these issues up with them.. I hope you make some progress.
