Product Description.

|Life time Review|Canon EF 85 mm f/1.8 USM Prime Lens This lens ´s most prominent feature is its outstanding portability. The rear focus system delivers sharp, clear images starting with the maximum aperture. The rapid, quiet, and accurate autofocusing is complemented by a full-time manual focus for subtle adjustments.

When taking portraits even such fine adjustment as moving the focus from the tips of the eyelashes to the eye itself is possible, creating a subtle yet definite change in an expressive tone. The natural soft blur effect is very attractive, and the lens ´s operability is outstanding, with a constant lens length as well as a non-rotating front lens group to make using circular polarizing filters even easier.

Autofocusing:

Fastest. Focusing. Lens. Ever.

No seriously, it’s the fastest focusing lens in my camera bag. I’ve got the 35mm F/1.4 L, 24-105mm F/4 L IS, and 80-200mm F/2.8 L. With the exception of the last one, all of those lenses focus very quickly. However, the Canon 85mm F/1.8 is a speed demon.

That speedy focusing is also extremely quiet and often very accurate. It won’t hunt in the dim light like the 50mm F/1.4 or the 50mm F/1.8.

Build and Quality:

The Canon 85mm f/1.8 has a very solid build, albeit perhaps not quite up to that of an "L" lens. Its balance on both bodies resulted in a very comfortable hold. Despite its very large maximum aperture, it isn't a particularly heavy lens, and it seems relatively short for its focal length. The Canon ET-65II lens hood (an accessory) is light and relatively large, a great help in avoiding flare from near-frame light sources. The Canon 85mm f/1.8 is a well-built, good-quality lens.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Review

Introduction

The new Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM prime lens features a fixed focal length of 50mm, bright f/1.8 aperture, Super Spectra coatings that minimize ghosting and flare, a circular seven-blade aperture, Canon's proprietary STM stepping motor for smooth and quiet continuous AF while capturing video, a new focus ring placement, metal mount and a short minimum focusing distance of only 0.35m. The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is available now for £129.99/€189.99/$125.99/₹7,999. in the UK, Europe, India, and the USA respectively.

7 Reason You Need A Prime Lens.

Now before talking about the reasons to buy a prime lens, let us understand what exactly a prime lens is so prime lens is, so prime lens is basically a fixed focal length lens.

Meaning the lens you're seeing right now is a 50mm lens. SO it cannot zoom in it cannot zoom out the focal length is fixed at 50mm so the question is if a lens can't zoom in if a lens can't zoom out. Then why should we buy this lens and that's the exact question which I'm going to answer you?

1. EXTREMELY CHEAPER

Now the prime lenses are not extremely cheaper only from a cost perspective. But the cost your paying is much less than the quality you're getting if in the same price range you compare a zoom lens and a prime lens you will see that the prime lens can deliver better and way better quality than any other zoom lens so for example in this post.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Review

You are seeing right now a 50mm lens now a 50mm lens only cost about 8,000 Rupees somewhere about 100 to 200 dollars.

Now when you compare it with a zoom lens of a similar price range you will see that the quality of the 50 mm is way-way better Than any other zoom lens in the same price range and not only in the same price range.

But again slightly expensive zoom lenses even can't match the quality of a 50mm price lens. So again the price you're paying for the quality is way-way better.

2. LIGHTWEIGHT

Now prime lenses are extremely light in weight because it doesn't have to zoom elements when you're traveling it becomes very difficult to carry your heavier camera attached to a heavier lens.

So the lenses are light it becomes slightly easier to travel so prime lenses since they're extremely light it becomes very easy and very portable.

3. WIDE APERTURE

Now compared to any zoom lenses prime lenses have a wider aperture this 50mm lens has an aperture of f/1.8 so if you want to capture portraits or some bokeh images the prime lenses are going to give you a better result as compared to any other zoom lens because it opens up to a wider aperture and wider the aperture is better bokeh and better the background will be blurred.

4. FAST FOCUSING

Now prime lenses can focus extremely fast as compared to zoom lenses. When in daylight when the light is very sufficient you won't notice a sufficient difference, but when you're shooting in low-light conditions you will see that the prime lenses can focus much quicker as compared to zoom lenses the zoom lenses will struggle a lot when you're shooting in low-light conditions to autofocus.

But the prime lenses will perform better in any light conditions.

5. LOW LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY

Now when you're shooting in low-light conditions. You need more light to come in so that you can make the ISO-less and shoot a high-quality image. Now since a prime lens has a wider aperture you can shoot the same image with the same exposure at a wider aperture and a comparatively lower ISO

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Review

So when you compare these two images you will see that the first image taken with a wider aperture and the Comparatively lower ISO is much cleaner and much better image quality wise than the other image which is taken at a smaller aperture and a Comparatively higher ISO so in low-light conditions the prime lens is always a better choice to go with even in Astrophotography when you're shooting stars when you're shooting Milky Way it is pitch dark right even that time a wider aperture like2.8 /1.8/or1.4 will obviously help with the image quality and focusing

6. SAFER FOR CAMERA SENSOR

Meaning when you use inexpensive zoom lenses when you zoom in or zoom out the elements of the lenses are exposed to the atmosphere and between the gap the dust can enter and hit the camera sensor.

And then your camera sensor becomes dusty and you have to clean it very regularly otherwise dust spots will be appearing in your images so since prime lenses have no zoom elements and there is nothing going in and out there is no gap for the dust to enter into the camera sensor and your camera sensor is much cleaner the last.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Review

7. MAKES YOU A BETTER PHOTOGRAPHER

Now when you want to get close to a subject or when you want to shoot wide you basically zoom in or zoom out? With your kit lens or any zoom lens, right?

But since you don't have that ability in the prime lenses you basically move yourselves and get close or wide to a subject and that will obviously make you a better photographer because you are now putting more efforts in composing the image and you will obviously end up with the better composition and better results.

So I hope this post helped you and now you know why you should buy a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM

Canon PowerShot sx430| May 2019 | Latest

Price: 12,499.00

Introduction

The Canon PowerShot SX430 IS is a 20.0-megapixel travel-friendly camera with 45x optical zoom that gives you the ability to capture impressive close-ups. Its ergonomic grip also allows for better handling, which is particularly useful for recording videos and ensuring stable images. With the built-in Wi-Fi/NFC feature, sharing images on social media has never been simpler. 45x optical zoom (24mm to 1080mm) with 90x ZoomPlus 20.0 megapixels sensor, intelligent IS, Wi-Fi and NFC.

UNBOXING AND REVIEW

Ease of Use

Superzoom or ‘bridge’ cameras have typically been bulky affairs, whilst the focal range of so-called ‘travel’ cameras has been slightly hamstrung by the fact of still needing to produce a camera that will slip readily into pocket or day bag. Announced back in February and newly arrived, the Canon PowerShot SX430 IS seeks, in our opinion at least, to offer a ‘best of both’ solution, strapping a whopping yet still impressively compact 45x optical reach to the front of a camera that resembles a consumer grade SLR (or enthusiast level superzoom), yet one that’s been conveniently shrunk in the wash.

It’s really difficult to appreciate how diminutive this camera is, just from going by the press shots in advance of its arrival in your hands. We managed to squeeze just two adult-sized fingers around its handgrip, leaving our forefinger hovering over the conveniently placed shutter release button at its topper-most edge, itself encircled by the lever for adjusting the zoom. Though it’s possible to operate the camera with one (right) hand, you’ll want to use your left to help both keep the body (and your horizons) level and steady, when supporting the lightweight zoom.

FRONT OF THIS CAMERA

Whilst the prominent lens barrel, affording a maximum f/3.5 aperture but much more eye-catching massive 24-1080mm equivalent reach in 35mm film terms, means the SX430 IS (‘image stabilized’, naturally) would be an awkward squeeze for any trouser pocket, it will drop comfortably into any jacket or, for those traveling types on a weekend city break, small rucksack or shoulder bag. The simple fact that operation is largely point and shoot ensures this camera can be used by all the family – if the youngest members are, say, 7+. The wide focal range also means that just about any shot can be framed and re-framed with the assistance of the rear LCD screen, with the photographer rarely having to take a step towards, or away from, their subject. We’d wager a summer holiday would definitely make the best use of both this PowerShot’s lack of size and broad yet at the same time very simple and accessible capabilities. The lens cap here is of the detachable plastic variety, which can be affixed via thread to the camera’s vacant lug for a strap. That’s probably the best way to avoid simply losing the cap.

The rear of the Canon PowerShot SX430 IS

With operation pretty much point-and-shoot all the way and a relatively un-flashy 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor at its heart providing a 20 megapixel effective resolution, (just like the 8x zoom IXUS 185 released alongside it), the SX430 IS is perhaps not a camera for the photo enthusiast, however, who will want something more substantial in every sense of the word. We can see the ideal purchaser of this camera instead of being the typical smartphone user or family man or woman seeking to upgrade to a ‘proper’ camera with a bit of extra punch and flexibility when it comes to the zoom department. Talking of smartphones, the camera offers both Wi-Fi and NFC transfer when it comes to image sharing, without needing to remove the optional yet essential memory card. Thankfully, a regular postage stamp-sized SD/SDHC card is the media of choice here, rather than the smaller and more fiddle-some microSD.

Canon PowerShot SX430 IS is both affordable and, at the same time, pared back in terms of any manual features. We don’t get any eye-level viewfinder, with instead a built-in speaker occupying that space above the LCD screen on the backplate. Said screen isn’t the touch screen we’ve got used to finding on compacts in 2017 either, whilst video quality is HD rather than Full HD, never mind 4K. The LCD is a little larger than its overall body size might suggest, at 3-inches, though the resolution is a bog standard 230K dots, which means that it’s still tricky to determine whether an image is properly sharp without enlarging a portion of it to check.

Though the lens capability is a marvel of modern miniaturization, the SX430 IS a feels like a bit of a throwback to simpler times, in some respects. A case in point is its control layout. This apes an old-school point and shoots digital compact in the respect that its array of controls will be familiar to anyone who has operated such a camera at any time over the past 15 years. A quartet of backplate buttons inset into the body, whereby they can be operated by thumb or fingernail but not readily knocked accidentally, orbit a centrally placed control pad with function/set button at its core.

The lens reach here is so massive that, when attempting photography at the telephoto end of the zoom, the image relayed to the LCD screen tends to ‘dance’ about, even though you may feel you’re holding the camera as steady as possible. It, therefore, requires a bit of trial and error – and a couple of extra shots – to end up with the framing you intended, if shooting at maximum telephoto. The obvious way around this is to otherwise stick the SX430 IS on a tripod; a small portable Gorillapod tripod that could otherwise be folded up and stashed in a pocket would be an ideal pairing with this mini DSLR-styled camera.

Top of the Canon PowerShot SX430 IS

We mentioned the SX430 IS’ handgrip earlier, which, while small, at least makes for a comfortable hold. The shutter release button encircled by the zoom lever sits up at the front top of the handgrip, gently molded to provide slightly more purchase for two adult fingers, with the main on/off power button set a little back on the camera top plate. At the back of the grip, where we’d commonly find our thumb coming to rest, is a red record button for activating video capture. Again this button is flush with the bodywork/slightly recessed, in order to avoid accidentally firing off a clip when merely handling the camera or lining up a stills’ shot. Buttons are responsive to the touch and at no point did we feel the camera was waiting to catch up with our selections. One might assume that with the massive focal range at our disposal the SX430 IS might be great for wildlife or sports photography. While we were able to capture some fairly static wildlife in our frame, a continuous shooting speed of 0.5 shots per second at full resolution is hardly Olympic standard.

If we’ve one grumble to do with the Canon PowerShot SX430 IS betraying its budget cost, it is that the operation of the lens itself – by which we mean the motor used to extend it outwards and retract it backward. This is slightly noisy, making grinding and buzzing sound in operation. But in fairness, this won’t be picked up on, or prove a distraction for potential subjects, if you’re using the camera in busy, bustling tourist environments anyway.

Side of the Canon PowerShot SX430 IS

Otherwise, the camera is as responsive as we’d wish for, even if available selections are a little limited – both a reflection of its budget price and the fact that this is supposed to be simple to operate from the off. No need to refer to any manual here – you can navigate your way around the camera from scratch pretty easily. There are two choices when it comes to image quality: Superfine and Fine and the ISO range is pretty limited – running from a manually selectable ISO100 to ISO1600. There is additionally a dedicated Low Light shooting mode selectable from its left-hand-side of screen function menu, though this does cap resolution at five megapixels, to negate any possible appearance of image noise.

More about image quality in a moment; the other aspect we need to mention first is battery life. Though we didn’t notice the camera being unusually power hungry for its class, Canon’s website lists a full charge of its lithium-ion cell lasting just 195 shots, which reads on paper as fairly unimpressive. However, there is the possibility to boost this to a more respectable 260 shots (in fairness closer to what we expected) if placing the camera in ‘eco’ mode.

As a general use camera, then, for those who want a lot more zoom power than their smartphone could ever afford them the Canon PowerShot SX430 IS shows its versatility. But whilst it may proffer itself as a jack of all trades for those wanting flexibility in a very compact package, given the broad focal range on offer, does it also master said trades too?
