EOS 650D continues the baton from its predecessor, the EOS 600D, which was released in 2011. Both cameras look very similar, but the actual Canon implemented a number of significant changes beneath the EOS 650D which is like the spitting image of his brother.
As a new camera, the EOS 650D does not replace the EOS 600D is still sold in the market today. Instead, he was in a position of "sandwiched" in between the EOS 600D and the EOS 60D is a higher-level position in the hierarchy of Canon cameras.
Of course, as one of the latest models, the EOS 650D equipped with its latest digital imaging technology from the manufacturer, including a flexible display that supports touchscreen input, automatic lens correction, "hybrid" auto-focus, to an integrated HDR mode.
Well, if it's a bit of new capabilities to provide its own advantages and make EOS 650D stand out among other cameras? Follow the discussion following KompasTekno.
Design
At first glance, the EOS 650D does look very similar to the EOS 600D. Both of the front, rear, and bottom, including physical size, everything is almost the same.
As noted, the new looks are some minor differences between the two cameras.
Perhaps the most visible is the absence of the "display" at the top of the EOS 650D. At its predecessor, this button is used to turn off the LCD screen started the flexible when the user is looking through the viewfinder.
EOS 650D does not require that button because it is equipped with a proximity sensor that will automatically turn off the screen when it detects the user's face close to the camera, such as the EOS 550D.
This is important because users of the EOS 650D is likely to touchscreen input by accident when the LCD screen is still in an active state when looking through the viewfinder, such as the cheeks or nose touched.
Other differences include the shape of some buttons are slightly different, but the laying and the function of each one remains the same as before.
Users who have used previous models in this series (EOS 600D, 550D, 500D, and others) definitely will instantly feel familiar with the EOS 650D.
Comparison between the EOS 650D and the EOS 60D is much more subtle. EOS 60D camera body larger with a bigger handgrip as well, and comes with some features that are absent from the EOS 650D, as the second LCD screen on the top and the second command wheel on the back.
EOS 650D comes in the box with the camera style decorated with white Canon camera image is concerned. Inside are a number of complementary accessories such as straps, written documentation, brochures, one battery, unit charger, USB data cable, cable, audio / video output, body cap and lens unit EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM when purchased as a kit.
EOS 650 was introduced along with two new lenses using STM or type autofocus motors Stepping Motor, the EF 40mm F2.8 STM and EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM kit is available as an option for this camera. The EF 40mm F2.8 pancake lens STM sold separately.
With STM motors embedded in these two lenses, Canon promises autofocus operation that is not only silent, but also fast, can be overridden in an instant, without having to shift the switch to the manual position (full-time manual focus), and Continuous AF in video can function optimally when used with the EOS 650D.
Why need EOS 650D? This camera uses autofocus sensor type of "hybrid" that combines contrast detect focus detection mechanisms commonly used in mirrorless cameras with phase-detect mechanism commonly used in DSLR.
As a result, the live view or video mode, the EOS 650D is claimed to be able to do a quick autofocus and continuous as long as it was, paired with a lens that has a motor STM.
Canon added a zoom lock on the EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM to prevent "zoom creep" when the lens extends or conditions (zoom in) himself when facing down because of the weight of the glass elements in the lens tube.
It works Canon realize its promise? Problem silent autofocus lens, EF 40mm F2.8 STM and EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM implementations motorcycle appeared to have a different focus though brought together frills "STM".
Although capable of producing extremely sharp images even in even the largest of openings, Canon pancake lens has a relatively slow AF performance and still snapping noise when in operation, although not too noisy as a lens with a conventional motor.
EF 40mm F2.8 lens STM looks sweet and concise in the EOS 650D, but autofokusnya slightly muted and somewhat sluggish.
In contrast, EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM totally silent in operation, even quieter than the lens with ultrasonic motor (USM) is still making a sound internal friction.
So sunyinya autofocus lens, Kompas Tekno many times to check switch AF / MF fear has shifted accidentally. In fact, the EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM is very quiet in operation, as can be seen in the video comparison below
You will be able to hear the sound of the motor STM inside an ear pressed to the lens body while in an environment that is also quiet.
In addition, the focus ring on EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 does not rotate when focusing. The length of this lens was still the same as it uses internal focusing mechanism.
Performance autofocus EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM is very strong, can be equated with the lens EF-S of some kind (normal zoom / general purpose) using ultra sonic motors like the EF-S 15-85mm F3 .5-5.6 IS USM and EF-S 17-55mm F2.8 IS USM which also was tested as a comparison by Kompas Tekno. AF can be done swiftly, almost instantly, including in low-light conditions though.
About quality catches image of the sample received Kompas Tekno, EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM can produce images whose quality is approximately equivalent to two EF-S lenses mentioned above, even in wide- open (F3.5 to F5.6 at 18mm at 135mm).
Compared to its predecessor, the EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS no frills STM, the results of this lens sharper images, higher contrast, especially at the longest zoom settings are usually the weak point the lens zoom. Examples can be seen in the picture below.
When paired with the EOS 650D, the lens is really showing its full capabilities. Live View AF capable done faster than other lenses, including wearing USM motor.
Conversely, when mounted to the camera body such as the EOS 60D, EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM is not functioning optimally. Ability is lost between lan continuous autofocus in video. This feature is only available on the EOS 650D.
Be EOS 650D and EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM like two lovebirds who need each other. Native capabilities of the two can only come out when each "meeting".
Therefore, it is better taken into account enthusiasts EOS 650D kit package with less EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM in an accident also requires a general-purpose lens quality.
Interface
Touch screen interface on the EOS 650D would require different interface layout for easy use. Well, in this case Canon has made some changes in the view menu.
The most obvious is the Quick Menu display Live View mode (accessible with the camera symbol on the right side of the viewfinder) where all configuration options-ranging from white balance, AF / drive mode, until the newly added wireless flash-icon displayed in the boxes large enough to be easily selected and arranged using fingers.
By utilizing the touch screen the user can select an area of focus by simply touching your fingertips, just like on a pocket camera or smartphone.
Want to automatically release the shutter with your finger on the touch screen? It can be done, but the choice of "Touch Shutter" in the menu must be activated first. Otherwise the camera will only select focus areas according to the user's finger touches while shooting is still being done by pressing the shutter release.
As usual, the LCD screen while shooting in live view can be imbued with various shooting parameters description, grid overlay for the composition, and real-time histogram. View live view can be magnified 5x or 10x to facilitate the process of focus.
Quick view menu (left) on the EOS 650D. The main menu structure (middle) is relatively unchanged cameras. EOS 650D also features the tab "my menu" (right), which can contain a number of parameter settings to be easily accessible
Unfortunately, the main menu (accessed by the "Menu") with a horizontal tab style Canon only cosmetic changes to the color-coded icon dhilangkannya settings categories that actually even a bit difficult.
Now each of these categories is represented only by the same colored icon. Size tab header and parameter selection still remains small so hard to track using the touch screen. Presumably to navigate the main menu is better to rely on manual 4-way controller as before.
The structure of the menu on the EOS 650D itself is relatively friendly, easy to understand and use, like a menu in other DSLR cameras from Canon. Can not find the parameter you are looking for? Move to the next category tab. The configuration parameters are never "buried" in the menus.
Even so with the quick menu (non-live view) are arranged to form boxes. Thanks to the support touchscreen, configuration parameters can be selected and adjusted with ease using finger.
This touchscreen can be used in Playback mode. With finger gestures like scrolling and pinch to zoom can be done with a responsive and smooth like a smartphone or tablet that makes a fun photo preview
Image Quality
Updates are carried on the Canon EOS 650D includes the new autofocus sensor, although equally numbered 9-point as the EOS 600D, is now composed entirely of the kind of cross-type sensitive to both horizontal and vertical contrast.
Burst speed was increased from 3.7 FPS on the EOS 600D to 5 FPS on the 650D. For information, the number is already equal EOS 60D which is theoretically capable of capturing 5.3 frames per second.
In terms of image capture, the EOS 650D equipped with Digic 5 processor which processes the image sensor resolution of 18 megapixels. Either the sensor is a new design or the same goods as previously used in the EOS 550D, 600D, 60D and 7D.
What is clear, Canon adds a level of sensitivity is ISO 25 600 (expanded). Range of ISO 12800 is now categorized as native.
At ISO 100, the EOS 650D certainly display the best picture quality. 18 megapixel sensor on this camera is able to capture a lot of detail. ISO 200 and 400 was almost no difference.
At ISO 800, noise began to appear, especially in dark areas. Noise at ISO 1600 began destroying fine detail, chroma noise colorful start subtle.
ISO 3200 image further damage, but some details still visible. Continued degradation of image quality at ISO 6400, where the decline in quality is visible on the computer screen, even before the image zoom-in.
Image quality at ISO 12800 is really destroyed by the luminance and Chroma Noise-strewn. Depending on usage, the photo may still be used for the purposes of the web, or prints smaller size. ISO 25 600 damage to all the details that are still left in the previous level. Highest sensitivity setting is best avoided, unless it is forced.
Likewise when the sun begins to set and the camera is forced to raise its sensitivity to ISO 6400. With noise reduction setting "Low" for the JPEG image format, Chroma noise that appears in the photograph can be reduced, while still scattered Luminance noise like grain patterns of the film so that it can be easily overlooked. Some detail in the image is still visible, although the shambles created by the noise.
Autofocus performance indicated no different than other similar cameras when shooting from the viewfinder. Other stories from the LCD so the user is looking.
Although not as fast as mirrorless cameras, speed improvements implemented in the Canon EOS 650D Live View AF than its predecessor turned out pretty noticeably. Combo EOS 650D and EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM most of the time only takes 1 second or less to lock focus in live view.
In comparison, its predecessor cameras on average takes 2-3 seconds to lock focus in live view, with the same lens and the situation is more comparable.
When not require extra fast autofocus, AF capabilities of the EOS 650D is fairly comfortable to fully rely on the LCD screen in the target image.
This camera can also be invited to shoot sports or action with a burst rate of 5 FPS to capture quite a lot of moments.
Unfortunately, the LP-E8 battery when used on the EOS 650D can not last long. In recent times it is used, the camera is only capable of megambil about 300 frames before the battery indicator started flashing signs need to re-charge.
HDR, Multi-shot Noise Reduction, and chromatic aberration correction
Canon EOS 650D saved approximately adding useful new features. Examples such as the ability to create photo-High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode multi-shot noise reduction with a sampling of the many frames that promise results clean images at high ISO, and automatic correction of chromatic aberration.
HDR mode can be accessed via the exposure mode dial featuring a large selection of scene modes as well as modes P, Av, Tv, and M as usual. HDR image is produced through three frames (under, normal, over) to be loaded automatically when the shutter button is pressed while in this mode.
Canon promises Auto allign the final HDR photo so users do not need to use a tripod. However, use of these tools in order to be recommended picture framing really stable. Note also that there are no moving objects such as people or vehicles passing through the image, or the end result will load the "shadows" of the object.
When compared with a photo taken in the normal exposure mode, HDR mode on the Canon EOS 650D is able to produce visible improvement. Details of dark and bright areas in an image can be displayed equally well, with a wide tonal range in accordance with this mode name.
However, there are some drawbacks that rather disturbing. First, the HDR mode on the EOS 650D automatically. This means users can not adjust the exposure parameters in order to get the results as desired. It also resulted in an unpredictable outcome.
In one scene, the EOS 650D can produce a good HDR image. So switching to another scene, it is not possible the results were disappointing.
Second, the EOS 650D just save the final results of the HDR photos that you create. Three frames under, normal, and over used as HDR material will be removed automatically once the shot is complete so it can not be opened thereafter.
Then, HDR mode on the EOS 650D perform image cropping can be significant. It's enough to make the wearer a glimpse realize that the results are somewhat different from the catchment viewfinder / LCD.
Switch to Multi-shot Noise Reduction (NR), this is part of the noise reduction level of choice provided by the EOS 650D. So overall there are five levels of noise reduction that can be selected, the "disable", "low", "standard", "strong", and "Multi-shot NR". Multi-shot NR can only be used with JPEG files.
To get the best results from the Multi-shot NR is, you should use a tripod because the camera will take 4 exposure for then combined, like HDR but with the aim of reducing noise. Such as HDR anyway, there should not be moving objects in images to avoid motion blur.
Images produced by the Multi-shot NR turned out slightly better than the level of noise reduction "strong" in terms of the intensity of the noise that successfully suppressed and image detail is maintained, especially in the extreme setting of ISO 6400 and above. Indeed, there is a softening whole, but the resulting image still looks pretty good in size is not too big.
As for Chromatic aberration correction, a feature brought by the Digic 5 processor is available under the "Lens Correction", along with the peripheral illumination (vignetting) correction that is available via the previous-generation processors.
Now, the EOS 650D Color fringing can eliminate red-green-blue (in JPEG images) that often appear around objects that have a high contrast with the surroundings. Just as Peripheral illumination correction, lens profiles concerned has to be loaded in the camera for this feature to be enabled.
For information, modern image processing software such as Adobe Lightroom from version 4.0 was able to correct color aberration like this very easily via the slider on the parameter "lens correction".
Video
Video mode is now more easily accessible through an integrated Switch with Power on / off. Parameter aperture, shutter speed, and ISO can be set manually so as to provide flexibility in recording footage as you wish.
However, this setting option is only available if the mode dial is in the position of manual exposure (M). When in modes P, Av, or Tv, then the parameter is available only Exposure compensation, instead of setting the aperture / shutter independently as well as when taking still images.
Like its predecessor, the EOS 650D provides a five-choice format and frame rate resolution, ie 1920x1080 @ 24 FPS, 25 FPS @ 1920x1080, 1920x1080 @ 30 FPS, 60 FPS @ 1280x720, and 1280x720 @ 50 FPS. Two regular mode last used for slow-motion scenes.
EOS 650D became the first DSLR camera from Canon is equipped stereo microphone. Grill microphone can be found at the top of the pop-up flash, just in front of the hotshoe.
EOS 650D video quality looks good. The pictures looked beautiful and rich colors with high contrast by the user depending on the setting. Relative rolling shutter effect is invisible, except with the panning motion really fast.
Continuous AF in video can be activated via the parameter "servo movie" that will appear in the menu when the camera is in video mode. There are three options that can be selected AF method, the "Face Detection", "Flexi Auto Zone", and "Flexi Single Zone" that allows users to select an area of focus with the touchscreen.
Kompas Tekno Servo tested the EOS 650D Movie capability to record the night futsal match. The lens used is the EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM.
Performance EOS 650D continuous autofocus in video mode depends on the lens used, as well as with the quality of sound recording when using the internal mic.
Lens EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM, for example, looks capable of doing continuous AF with fast and no sound in the video. Unlike the case with EF 40mm pancake lens STM.
Here are the comparative performance servo movie both lenses are the ideal lighting conditions. AF mode used is Flexizone-Single Point with the focal point right in the middle frame.
Conclusion
EOS 650D comes in the middle of rush mirrorless cameras of various brands, including Canon's own EOS-M. As an entry level model, among others, intended for novice users, this camera also equip themselves with a touch screen and touch-focus capabilities in order to remain attractive in front of prospective customers.
The touch screen is also feels nice when worn. When you want to choose a focus area in flexi-zone mode, just touch your finger on the screen at the desired point.
However, the Kompas Tekno, most noticeably increase the benefits actually EOS 650D AF performance in live-view mode which is much faster than its predecessor. In cameras like the EOS 60D and EOS 600D, live-view function constrained by the performance of contrast detect AF so slow.
There is a "quick mode" that uses phase detect sensor camera belonging is concerned, but this method is not practical because it raises the blackout screen when the process focused and limited to 9 points only, as in the viewfinder.
On the EOS 650D, the performance of AF in live view mode is much improved so the camera can be used practically zero in the image entirely through the LCD screen. It certainly is practical for everyday use, especially to take photos through a difficult angle-docked to the ground or high above his head. What's more, the screen of the EOS 650D also features a flexible hinge (articulated) that can be rotated in all directions as needed.
Indeed, the performance of AF live view camera is mash well below the latest mirrorless models that can focus the lens as fast as lightning. But as long as STM lenses (18-135mm) and set the lens to wide position where DOF is not too narrow, AF performance of the EOS 650D can still be relied upon in situations where speed is not too vital focus.
New features other useful including the ability to correct chromatic aberration, and vignetting automatically, plus multi-shot mode noise reduction and HDR. Unfortunately, the HDR mode to auto so the end result is hard to predict.
Lastly, there is a burst speed increased to 5 FPS so practically equal EOS 60D and very helpful when a camera is used to take pictures action. The points are numbered AF 9 pieces are now composed entirely of the kind of cross-type that is more sensitive.
Of course, behind all touch screen capabilities, the EOS 650D can be operated like a conventional DSLR cameras, by using physical buttons. More experienced users will probably prefer this way, because the navigation can be done more quickly.
Handling the EOS 650D is relatively no different from its predecessor the EOS 600D, with the button layout and functions are mostly the same.
Current version of the EOS 650D body-only sold for between Rp 6.8 million, disputing about $ 1 million compared to camera models are positioned exactly on top of it, the Canon EOS 60D. Users who need better ergonomics (hand grip, a larger viewfinder, LCD screen and a second dial command) may be better suited to the EOS 60D.
Conversely, those who want the latest features as well as a more compact physical size may be more like the EOS 650D. EOS 600D is still available at a more economical price. When selecting EOS 650D, is better taken into account the kit lens EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM are able to maximize the potential of this camera.
Finally, the EOS 650D might be seen as a combination of mirrorless cameras (except for his size) and a DSLR. Novice users can use this camera using the LCD touchscreen display that offers ease of use. Then, when it is needed later, the EOS 650D can also function like a true DSLR with professional-class graphics capabilities.
