Sekonic C-7000 Reviews
I was tempted to give it 3 stars BUT!
I got the meter a couple days ago. I started to write a review and planned to give it 3 stars for two reasons. First was the finicky touchscreen that would take several presses varying the pressure to get it to register. Second was the lame software that comes with it. For the first issue today I discovered that the touchscreen works fine if you use a fingernail or any rounded plastic thing like a pen cap. Apparently fingertips spread over too big an area and confuse it or just don't make the connection. The second issue is the software. I was expecting the software to be similar functionality as the meter screen with the options to compare plots, etc. so you could do post-processing on the computer. The software only allows you to download several graphics file formats of plots (bmp, jpeg, png) and a raw data .csv files. The .csv file allows you to do anything you want but it is a bunch of manual work to do so versus if the software was more functional. Another irritation with the software is that as far as I can tell there is no way to just download all your file from the meter memory at once. When you use the meter you need to Memory Title. You then take readings that are autmatically named. When you use the software you can select all the files under one Memory Title but you cannot select all files and download them as a batch. After solving the touchscreen issue I decided that the meter itself deserves 5 star. It is a really nice meter.
Extraordinary device
Great measurements. Nice graphics. Touch is not responsive as should be considering the price of the equipment. Backlight could be more bright, to see results in high illuminated rooms or outdoors.
