I am looking for a still photo solution. Budget up to 200EUR,
FOV<100deg, weight<150g, RAW ability. It is highly desirable to have
scripting ability, for example: timelapse with different exposures and
ISOs repeating continuously.
One option is the new HawkEye Firefly X 90deg (Ambarella H22/Sony
IMX377), and I hope that extra price is worth (compared to 8SE
90deg). Though I am not sure if it is really fully scriptable.
Still, I keep wondering if I could do a better job by pairing some
cheaper camera, but still good dynamic range, and replace its stock
lens with some bright lens. There are 4-5mm M12 lens on aliexpress
for 30$ - 80$. Supposedly F/2.0 available, or even F/1.8. Faster
shutter speeds would help me a lot. Are those lens sharp enough
though? I have found some framegrabs from 4K videos and it looks
promising, so maybe.
Funny side question, what will look less ugly: ISO3200 with good lens,
or ISO400 with low res "starlight" lens?
Any thoughts or recommendation? Either on camera or lens.
Thanks!
