Chapter 161 Is this Wu An?
On the second day after being selected by Baigong, the first batch of mirrorless cameras of Daqin Optics was finally shipped.
However, the first day’s goods were actually mainly sent to some “privileged” users.
This was also one of the small gifts promised by Kang Chi when Daqin held the press conference.
The audience who attended the press conference received a 300 yuan coupon from Daqin Optics when they left the press conference. If they used this coupon to purchase, they could also arrange for priority delivery.
For the fans who went to the scene to support Daqin Optics, this was really a big surprise.
Xu Yi returned to the hotel with the coupon and without hesitation put the second-hand 5D3, which he had used for almost a year, on the second-hand platform.
When he bought this second-hand product, he spent almost 7,000 yuan.
Now it has become a third-hand product after a year of use. In addition, the market has also fallen. The normal price should be around 5,500 yuan.
In order to sell it as soon as possible, Xu Yi directly marked 4,800 yuan.
As expected, it was sold out immediately after it was put up.
In fact, there is no need to think about it. People who buy goods in seconds are usually dealers. After buying them cheaply online, they sell them offline at a high price to make a profit.
But Xu Yi didn’t care.
Although dealers of this kind of equipment are greedy for cheapness and bargain hard, they are professional and can even refurbish them by themselves. The speed and reputation of receiving goods are usually good, which is more straightforward than most ordinary buyers.
4,800 yuan back, 300 yuan coupons, and 199 yuan discount for pre-sale packages.
In addition to the Daqin Optics 3rd Generation 35/50/85mm that Xu Yi already has, a total of 997 yuan can be exchanged for discounts.
So, he only needs to pay 1,100 yuan more to buy a set of Wuan three-fixed focus sets with a total price of 7,396 yuan.
With 1,100 yuan, plus some express delivery fees, you can get a brand new domestic micro single, and the three lenses are also upgraded to autofocus.
This deal looks pretty good.
I just don’t know if it’s actually good.
If Wuan performs poorly, it will be a big loss.
In order to support Daqin Optics, Xu Yi actually took a big risk.
However, fortunately, as a formal photographer, he not only received a sharp increase in salary, but also had a camera specially equipped by the store during his work.
So the importance of his personal practice camera was reduced a lot, giving him the qualification to take risks.
After placing the order, Xu Yi traveled in Yanjing for a few days, and then finally returned to his hometown Henggui County to start his formal career as a wedding photographer.
Although he was a little nervous, he quickly entered the working state through the technical skills accumulated over more than two years, plus the pre-job training some time ago. Although he occasionally made some small mistakes, his overall performance was still remarkable.
This also made Xu Yi full of confidence in his future, and his mental state and temperament had undergone a huge change.
In the words of his assistant, if he had a big back hair with a stronger artistic atmosphere, he would be an international fashion photographer.
While his work was getting better, Xu Yi was also looking forward to receiving the camera from Daqin Optics in his spare time.
When the express package was delivered to the store that day, Xu Yi opened the package immediately with strong expectations and curiosity after finishing the shooting.
The product packaging is not exquisite, but the LOGO design of the two words “Wu’an” combines the design of oracle bone inscriptions and ancient weapons, which is quite oriental.
Xu Yi’s first reaction when he got the camera in his hand was…
How come it is so light?
Although the workmanship looks very tight and delicate, Xu Yi, who is used to 5D fitness equipment, always feels that this thing is a bit light.
After installing the lens and holding it in his hand, this feeling is slightly weakened, but he is still a little uncomfortable.
However, the display screen on the back of the fuselage is quite large, estimated to be at least four inches.
At the same time, because the screen is too large, many physical buttons are missing, so only a few commonly used buttons are retained.
For this design, Xu Yi, who has not experienced it yet, is not sure about it, but intuitively feels that it may be more friendly to novice users and may slightly increase the reaction time of operations for professionals.
Install the battery and turn it on! The first thing that appears on the screen is Daqin OpticsLOGO, and then about two seconds later, the screen appeared. The boot speed is quite fast.
This is Xu Yi’s first reaction,
The second reaction is, This screen, why does it feel different at first glance? It feels the same as the mobile phone screen, It’s so clear! Those who have used SLRs must know that although professional cameras take photos with high pixels, the resolution of the display screen used for playback is usually very poor.
For example, the 3.2-inch screen on the 5D4 has a resolution of only 1.62 million, which is not enough to play a 1920*1080 photo, so the playback is all compressed pictures in the camera.
If myopic people move closer to look, they can often see obvious pixel particles.
Not to mention Sony, the A7M3 was criticized by users for its low pixel of 920,000, serious color cast and inaccurate brightness. As a result, the A7M4 was released later, and the pixel was squeezed to 1.03 million.
However, they have solved a lot of the problems of color cast and inaccurate brightness.
After all, if the displayed photos are normal, you go back and import them into the computer to see, it’s over, all the colors are shit yellow, and the exposure is over!
Who dares to use your camera?
But in the press conference, Wuan Camera did not mention the screen problem at all in order to save time. Later, Xu Yi did not look at the details page carefully. After receiving the goods today, he felt that the screen was particularly clear. He immediately went to the official website to check, and was surprised to find that this screen was actually a 5-inch OLED screen from Huaxing Optoelectronics. Its resolution is 1920*1440 (2.76 million pixels), and the pixel density is as high as 480PPI!
These parameters are considered high-end screens in the mobile phone industry.
After continuing to experience it, Xu Yi soon found a bigger surprise.
The screen of Wuan Camera completely abandoned the dryness of the island camera, which made it difficult to find the menu you wanted after flipping through it for a long time. The interface of Wuan’s main menu is the same as that of a mobile phone, with icons that are clear at a glance, such as photo format, video format, color exposure, focus, playback, network, etc. Clicking on each icon is also a bit like the mobile phone settings interface, However, since the camera screen is generally used horizontally, the top-to-bottom arrangement has become a horizontal arrangement,
It’s a bit like an ancient book, and it feels particularly simple and clear.
After switching to vertical mode, it will automatically switch to top-to-bottom arrangement, without limiting the operation method.
What surprised Xu Yi even more was the sensitivity of this touch screen, which was as smooth as operating a mobile phone! Compared to the 5D4 screen with poor response speed and sensitivity, this screen is a boon for touch screen users. From now on, the touch screen function of the camera screen will no longer be useless!
”Awesome, it is a domestic product, the materials are so solid!”
Xu Yi couldn’t help but sigh.
Of course, the operating system and screen can only be said to be plus points for a camera.
The real test is the quality of shooting.
However, Xu Yi is not particularly worried about this. After all, Kang Chi had filmed and demonstrated it on the spot during the press conference. As long as the mass-produced machine is the same as the demonstration prototype, the image quality is basically the same as the mainstream full-frame. The only drawback is that the ability to shoot professional videos is relatively average.
However, it can be seen from the positioning of Wuan’s ‘entry-level’ full-frame micro-single that it is aimed at ordinary users with low professional requirements and is particularly friendly to new users. However, these groups do not need 4K video shooting function.
4K video has high bit rate and large size, and ordinary computer editing is very slow. For ordinary users, 1080P is enough for video shooting.
What’s more, Wuan is not without 4K video shooting, but the maximum frame rate is only 30 frames, which cannot meet the needs of professional video workers.
After taking Wuan out for a walk and taking some test shots, Xu Yi was completely relieved.
In addition to image quality, what he is most worried about is autofocus.
Although Wuan’s focus method is contrast focus, after actual testing, Xu Yi believes that it is enough for taking photos, but a little reluctant for taking videos.
So this domestic micro-single is definitely worth the price!
No, it can’t be said to be worth it, it’s simply super value! As the saying goes, the best is what suits you.
Wu’an’s comprehensive strengths such as image quality, operation method, and portability, even if the price advantage is abandoned, are more suitable for ordinary people than the high-end full-frame cameras of the island country.Consumers! Even for photographers like them who focus on flat-screen photography and have no video needs, it is also a very good choice.
And considering that its price is only 4999 and it has the advantage of cheap and easy-to-use lens group, this is a very good choice, and it can even be said to be the only choice! Is this Wuan? Xu Yi can almost imagine how badly Wuan will kill the three giants of the island country in the low-end and mid-range camera market.
The low-end full-frame cameras are a bit overwhelmed, let alone the half-frame and card cameras. It is estimated that these cameras will soon be directly eliminated by Wuan and become the dust of history! Xu Yi couldn’t help but feel a little excited and expectant.
What we want is a river of blood! The blood-sucking island camera factory created the classic saying that photography will make you poor for three generations, and SLR will ruin your life.
But with the Qin Dynasty’s formal attack on them, this saying will soon become history. Professional cameras will no longer be toys for the rich! (End of this chapter)
