/gear/ - Thread

I'm looking for a DSLR with an audio input microphone with a wide angle lens or ability to get a wide angle lens.

I'm looking at the price being under $450 refurbished models are ok.

I want to record in 1080p and be able to attach my Rode microphone to it so audio quality is not important just great video with auto focus that isnt' super slow.

I do some lower light shots so i'd like something that will handle low light performance.

Is there anything that comes close to this? Doesn't have to be dslr if the camer has a decent enough microphone or if there is a way I can record quality audio on a separate device

>>2891785
Maybe look into old Sony A7
Fullframe and some (like the s-series) start at 600 bucks)
Fullframe is expensive
Otherwise, the Canon EOS ones are your best shot. Sony alpha6000 sometimes start at 500$ used.

The further down sensor you go, the harder it will be to get wide angle and have decent low-light performance.

For audio: get a Audio recorder. ZoomH1 or ASCAM DR-5 start at 70 bucks used. They have rather good recording on their own microphones. Plugin a decent 3,5mm microphone and they are good enough for almost anything except professional studio work.

>>2891788
Fullframe if i'm assuming that means all the cannon t5/t3/70d etc are full frame then i'd like full frame. No refurbs around black friday will shoot down that low?

>>2891785

>>2891788
Man, that post is fucked to pieces, sorry! I'm drunk

Let me correct that!

If you really want Full frame, maybe look into old Sony A7. It's fullframe and some (like the s-series) start at 600 bucks. Generally speaking, fullframe is expensive

Otherwise, the Canon EOS ones are your best shot. The Sony alpha6000 sometimes start at 500$ used. It also has good video capabilities.

The further down sensor you go, the harder it will be to get wide angle and have decent low-light performance.

For audio: get a Audio recorder. ZoomH1 or ASCAM DR-5 start at 70 bucks used. They have rather good recording on their own microphones. Plug in a decent 3,5mm microphone and they are good enough for almost anything except professional studio work.

None of those are full frame.

>Because better everything else in terms of video. better video options, better ergonomics, better accessoires, Headphone jacks, video noise performance, etc.
Stabilization can be done "per hand" as in "just hold it still you fucking noob". Also, Panasonic is starting to introduce stabilized sensors, i think the GX85 has one.
>The EP5 can "only" do 30fps in Full HD, so no 60fps or 4k for you. But good enough for most stuff.

I forgot that I probably would be using a headphone jack. If I ever buy the EP5 how can I go about it not having a headphone jack?

>>How badly do they perform in low light?
>With a normal 3.5 aperture, get ready for mosaic-orgies and noise-a-paloozas above 1600 ISO. Although that also depends on the system and camera.
>But problem solved by getting an old 1.8 or 1.4 lens for cheap and adapt it. Listen to the adapter-meme. It's true.

I have an old Nikkor AI 50mm f1.4 and OM 50mm f1.8. Will they be enough for low light on an EP5? The problem is I thing they are too telephoto for indoor use. I think a 24mm f2 lens will be too much for my budget.

>I dunno much about the camera in specific.
I know it has lots of support because it's been around for quite some time now (in digital camera terms).
>Also, 300$ seems to be a good price if it's not banged up too bad.

Yeah I think it's a good price that's why I am considering it. Only 8000+ actuations.

Use an audio recorder for sound.

1.4 or 1.8 will be decent enough in low light. Not stellar, but if you get a fill light in some distance to your subjects you won't notice they are illuminated artificially. Streetlanterns will be enough.

Can you be more specific?

Crop lenses? Wide? Normal? Telephoto? Prime? Zoom? Budget?

>>2891947
>Use an audio recorder for sound.

Does that mean I will buy a separate audio recorder for sound? How can it properly synchronize with my video? Is it an audio recorder that clips on the hotshoe of the ep5?

>1.4 or 1.8 will be decent enough in low light. Not stellar, but if you get a fill light in some distance to your subjects you won't notice they are illuminated artificially. Streetlanterns will be enough.

Ok I think the built in flash will be enough and for video, will a small video light that attaches on the hotshoe would suffice as well.

With that I hope the 5 axis image stabilization will compensate for my shaky hands.

>>2891966
>How can it properly synchronize with my video?
Use the incamera mic to synchronize with spikes. For example clapping etc.

I bought a Hanimnex 35-70mm 2.5-3.5mm Macro AI-S online for cheap to adapt to my MFT.

I couldn't find anything on that lens. But there seems to be an identical Solagor lens.

Can anyone give any insight or infos on it?
Planning to use it for Macro-Video

Seriously it will be like a 100mm lens on FF format. Good luck vlogging on your room unless you have a bedroom that is bigger than the ordinary living room+kitchen.

I don't understand why micro four turds is still being recommended. It's a dying meme. When you factor in the cost of its lenses it probably cost more than an APS-C or FF for video. Not to mention it has a high crop value as I said. Good luck looking for wide angle lenses for it. Old manual ultrawide prime lenses are also hard and costly if found (less than 17mm focal length). Also, using an f/1.4 lens on a turd will turn it into a f/2.8. Zero shallow depth of field and you won't get the "film look" that the bigger sensor cameras have (APS-C or FF).

A Fuji XT-10 is better than any olympus turd for video. Not to mention it has a mic jack.

Back in 2012 everyone on /p/ thought that this camera will end the DSLR and the second coming of man was at hand. But after all this years all the mfturds accomplished was paving the way for the aps-c and ff mirrorless and shitty noise at high iso and low light.

No professional ever used a mfturd. Only those paid ones.

>>2891970
The nail in the coffin is that a go pro which is of the same size as a mfturd sensor has better video quality than an mfturd camera.

I'm selling my current camera and all of its lenses, so I am essentially starting over from scratch. I am looking for a full-frame camera that can shoot 1080p@60fps.

I've been looking at the Nikon D750 and D810. I've only ever used Canon, so I don't know anything about the difference between the two. Has anyone here used either of these two cameras? Anything I should keep in mind when deciding? Any other full-frame 1080p@60fps cameras I should consider?

Also, I'm a huge fan of Magic Lantern on Canon cameras. Is there anything similar for Nikon? Is it better / worse than ML?

Hello fellow MFT-haters. I too like big sensors. Pic related, it's my camera, which I have taken with my Backup camera, an Alpha Phase one.
I don't know how anyone can shoot on such tiny sensors with such tiny cameras. I mean, what's the point of having a camera if you just gonna run around like a caffeinated hamster and take pictures of everything rather than set your camera up for at least five minutes for the one, perfect shot?
I was recently thinking about jumping to photoplates as well, that way you can really see the finest details, like the grains of sand on the butt of a spider sitting in the flower behind the subject.
Also laughable is how they use lenses meant for other systems. These degenerates just slap FD lenses on their silly adaptable mounts. Lens-systems are meant to kept separate and pure.
But you know what the biggest joke is? All these so called "professionals" using MFT cameras. They think they can make money with that? Sure, they can live off their YT channels and have lots of fun doing their work with cheap cameras, but can they actually live with themselves when they zoom in on their RAW files of contrast charts and see that the lines are blurred by 2px?
I hope they all hang themselves and the entire MFT market collapses. These kinds of people should not be allowed in our hobby!

Sony has done surprisingly well with their mirrorless cameras. Finally got themselves a decent foothold in the industry.

Fuji is making some decent cameras too, even though they are only APS-C.

Speaking of, Olympus recently filled patents for some new mirrorless FF lenses. I wonder if they are starting heir own mount, or will be continuing their partnership with Sony?

The 70-200 with at least a 1.4x TC but with the 2x TC you don't even have to go into the club just do bursts at the entrance while your hand is still responsive from the repeated pummeling from the security.

Sony confirmed for degenerate scum with no lenses.

>>2892124
Neat camera, a little outdated on hardware as far as state of the art goes. Depends how much money you want to save. Buy a LX100 now for fire sale prices, buy a GX85 and get nearly the same size but with interchangeable lenses and other features, or wait to see what the LX200 brings.

>>2892124
Not a bad camera but horribly overpriced. get a cheap, old GX or Olympus OM instead. with a small lens like a 20mm pancake, they are almost as small and you can also experiment with other lenses if you advance.

There were some used LX100's on ebay for around $450. That seems pretty decent. I'll research the Olympus.. Are you talking about the gx7 or should I look back even farther?

>>2892152
Well the GX line is very expensive, they start new at 1,2k so look further.
Olympus are generally considered "better" for photos amongst the MFT cameras.
the olympus EM series can sometimes go for 550 with kitlens.
The PEN series can go even cheaper

Is it worth getting an original X100? My local shop has a used one for $425.

>>2892164
GX85 is under $1k.

>>2892247
Correct.
Was looking up kits, not the body only.
Would still recommend the Olympus bodies for now, because they work better with adapted lens due to Image stabilization

>>2892248
Like the GX85's IBIs? 5 axis like the Oly bodies, only good for about 4 stops, but that's plenty. Also the advantage of good video quality, dual IS, and coming with a good, small, mechanical zoom kit lens for less money than a EM5II.

Sony is like the slut of the lens world.

It can adapt and autofocus even things that aren't meant to be autofocused.

A Leica M-mount lens autofocusing on a full frame camera? ABOMINATION.

>>2892272
I really hope the next GH and G cameras will also come with in-camera IS.
I think Panasonic is finally realizing people rather adapt old Canon Or Nicon lenses than pay out their noses, especially for video.
I dont think they'll release any new Power OIS lenses.

Yes.

But then I did some reading on XD-7 and people claim that it's even better. The thing is that to buy XE-7 I would have to import it from abroad (additional cost) and XD-7's sometimes pop up in my country. I'm looking for something in MD system because of the glass that I already have.

Nice camera, not good for video since it has a serious sensor problem (it melts!). Buy an used on might safe you a few bucks, but, if you have more to spend, jump to the 80d

60d is also a nice choice if you want to save money and you'd get a very similar camera.

Don't get your panties in a bunch. You got the 5DS, which like the D810, is a minor update over the 2012 model. The small body pro-market has to be satisfied, so it will come, one way or another.

>>2892419

You could look at the other Fuji models. I hear great things about the X-T10. It is cheaper too. Though you have the same lens issues.

Sony is the only other company that makes a decent APS-C mirrorless. a6000 is around $850 with the kit. a6300 is $1200.

Though for €1000 you could probably get a full frame A7. But fullframe Sony lenses cost a fortune, though most are worth it. They are pumping out lenses though. Something like 7 new designs released so far in 2016.

>>2892340
Nope.
>>2892341
Isn't this the gear thread?

>>2892374
Ah yes the SRT lineup. My HS had one and after the first roll the shutter locked up on me, never to be fired again. Very reliable. But if the camera you REALLY want cost additional dongs to import than just have it imported because you'll be much happier in the long run.

Something that is to you easy to use, reliable and serves your needs well from the time you et it until you either want to upgrade or it all gets stolen by wild dingos.

Nah, people will tell you yes because it's "!OLD !!TECH! DX !DX" but if you search the used section hard enough on any reputable retail website it may be had for less than $700.

Ok I will. Actually my other problem is it's tough to find a cheap UWA lens for for MFT sice the crop factor is x2.

I really want to get a MFT or four thirds camera for years now (even back when the olympus four thirds was released). It only became reasonable to buy one recently because it has become cheap.

i have a cool vintage zeiss lens, its probably my favorite/best lens

all in all between my boyfriend and myself we have so much gear, i wouldnt even know where to start.. I generally prefer film but we recently got a Nikon D1X that I enjoy

I have a D7000 which I've been using for years and I'm ready to upgrade to a FX, either a 600 or 610. Right now I have some nice DX lenses as well as some legacy F mounts from the 80s.

Should I sell these DX lenes and switch over to only FX or hold on to them.

What do you rate the Canon EOS 1200D?

>>2892551
>canon
shit

>>2892547
i guess our best camera is the nikon d5000 though

the Zeiss Biotar lens makes every camera amazing

>>2892550
Only the 35/1.8 will be useful, and only then because you're too cheap to buy a 35/2D.

The rest should be sold.

Also, a D610 isn't much of an upgrade. It's a D7000 with a bigger sensor.

>>2892559
I have a 1.4/12-24 EDIF that i really enjoy using for architecture shots. The rest are just various zooms and non-afs. I do have a 1.8/50 that I'll probably keep.

Should I just not bother? I can get a 610 for under 1k but the next up 750 is 2k, which is out of my range unless I wait a few more months and save

It's literally a D7000, not even a D71/200, with a full frame sensor. Autofocus, buffer, build, controls. Is the sensor good? Yes. Does it blow the socks off the D7000? A little bit, but not terribly so. Will you notice a difference? Only if you shoot lots of portraiture and night-time land scape.

Do you like the D7000 in every way except the sensor? Consider it. Personally, I'd get a D7100 for the autofocus/sensor, and just be careful not to push more than 4EV in post. The difference in price after selling the D7000 for a used D7100 would be a couple hundred dollars, tops.

The 12-24 is reportedly good from 16-24. Pretty good deal to use that.

Thanks for the advice. The D7000 is great except for non-ff. I could deal with a 7100 for a while if its good at what you say. I'll look into it.

The 12-24 @12 is pretty distorted with blurring at edges so I agree with that

A single-generation upgrade is practically nothing. Your D7000 is fine, a D7100 is just going to be a tiny incremental upgrade. A D600 is just going to be a moderate incremental upgrade (and personally I'd still pick a D700 over a D600 anyway or would save up for a D750/D800 over a D600). What problem exactly are you even trying to solve by upgrading? In what way is the D7000 not capable of doing what you want?

16-24 on FX

I'm sure this is gear related, since I can't get my gear to work the way I want it to. But it's about software.

Question: third party software for controlling a Canon Rebel t2i on a Windows computer? Canon software comes (came? I bought my camera years ago) in the form of a physical "EOS Digital Solution disk" which I can't use with a windows 10 tablet. I'd like to do astrophotography again from my tablet, but Canon has made retrieving the software from their support website impossible, at least for me - when I enter my serial number on the website to download the software, it says the software isn't available for my camera.

Any ways around this?

>>2892600
16mm on FF is not W I D E enough for me. Gotta be at least 14mm or even 11mm. Tempted to get that Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM as an upgrade from my Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-4.6 HSM II.

>>2892619
>"EOS Digital Solution disk" which I can't use with a windows 10 tablet
Go to canon.com and find the software for download.

It's called Canon EOS Suite and I use it a lot for astrophotography (doping in focus just short of inifity) and remote shooting.

Also handy for studio shooting for Wifi and instant big screen previews.

>>2892629

Finally found what I needed, thanks.

I also found "BackyardEOS" while searching for third party software. I'd love to hear feedback about that, if anyone has used it.

>>2892631
Stick with EOS Suite. The later versions allow for intervalometer shooting too. But focus doping via a big monitor is the best.

>>2892626
>implying 20 isn't already wide enough
I thought you were getting the Tamron, or selling all the other lenses you managed to collect.

Also, saves >>2892572 money instead of buying a 16-35/4.

>>2892631
BackyardEOS and BackyardNikon is the best astro tether suit. Look up Forrest Tanaka videos and other tutorials on youtube.

>>2892634
>>2892637

Thanks. I'm definitely going to use both.

>>2892636
Also getting the Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 VC USD in the next couple of weeks. I did just get the 12-24mm, 17-40mm f/4L and the 70-200mm f/2.8 VC USD in the space of a week so I've got to slow down my spending.

Also keeping all my lenses since I've found niches for them;
12-24mm - Nightclub and landscapes
24-70mm - General functions/street photography
70-200mm - big functions/portraiture
50mm - Bokehwhoring
17-40mm - Street photography

The Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 VC USD might replace the Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM but I might keep it as a spare or backup lens.

And 20mm is definitely not W I D E enough especially on fool frame.

>>2892664
How do you like the 70-200 VC USD at f/2.8 vs at f/4?

>>2892668
Centre frame sharpness is crisp at f/2.8 especially at 70mm, just a tad softer at 200mm.

f/4 makes it a fair bit sharper but f/5.6 is razor sharp, no matter the focal lenght.

Usually shoot at f/2.8 though so I can suppress ISO and shoot with a faster shutter speed.

>>2892664
>And 20mm is definitely not W I D E enough especially on fool frame.
Depends how
W I D E

you need it to go. 20's plenty wide for me.

>>2892677
Even I find 17mm inadequate after going 12mm. That's why I'm so tempted with the EF 11-24mm f/4L USM. Would be wasting $2,500 but gott dayum, would be fun to shoot at 11mm...

>>2892676
I have the older one and have a slight softness at f/2.8 but is razor sharp at f/4. I use it on APS-C though.
For portraits at f/4 and higher I have to soften up the image in post not to scare off people with their own pores.

>>2892681
Ah the VC version is superior in every way to the older 70-200mm f/2.8.

Had a chance to compare the two side-by-side I had about 5× more keepers compared to the old one at f/2.8. Closing them both down to f/4 or f/5.6 would make things more equal but definitely at f/2.8 the VC version is a much better lens.

The VC also helps a shit ton for handheld shooting beyond 100mm. Can bring at shutter down and still get decent images.

Anyone have the Nikkor 35mm 1.8 FX version? I like my f/2 version, but it mite b cool to have IF and a stop faster.

How much does it cost a company to produce a given lens or camera body?

>>2892690

The 1.8's damn sharp, and so is the 1.4. There's not much else to say about them.

>>2892713

>>2892695

>>2892626

Voigtlander makes a 10mm, supposed to be awesome.

>>2892858

>>2892550
Instead of buying into the foolframe hype look at maybe an upgraded dx body. Maybe d500? It all depends on what you are shooting and how much weight you care to haul around.

>>2892277
Go ahead and take one picture, burn out the film on sunlight and then put the camera on a shelf in your apartment and tell girls that come over about your "big day out".

I'm looking at fast 35mm prime.

Choices are;
- Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM II $1,500
- Sigma 35mm f/1.4 ART $800
- Tamron 35mm f/1.8 VC USD $600

Which way should I go /p/?

>>2892990
Tamron is great, also has VC. Damn near a macro, but slow to focus. AF is accurate though.

>>2892996
Ja, the Tamron seems to be the most "reasonable" purchase. Really tempted by the USM II though...

>>2893019
Why not just get the 35mm babby prime? Cheap and sharp and only a half stop slower than f/1.4
>Canon
oh, sorry, never mind

>>2893028
The original EF 35mm f/2 is cheap as chips, probably can get it for $150 or so, the IS USM is about $500. Both a okay, but too "soft" for my liking.

The original f/1.4L USM has too many optical issues especially compared to the MK II, ART and VC USD lenses. Also still priced at around $1,000 or so.

So to me, it's only really out of >>2892990. Just a question whether the MK II is worth the premium or not...

For now i'm thinking about all around lens fixed i guess. I know that sigma 12mm f/2 is pretty good, but it's pretty wide, so i wonder if i should buy something else?

I got an Oly E-PL7 /p/.

What lens is better to adapt on it? I have a nikkor ai 1.4 and an oly om mount 1.8 both 50mm.

I think the pros for the nikkor is that it has a higher aperture and the lens are sharper? Also compatible with Nikon dslrs. The problem is if I were to buy more ai lenses in the future, it is costlier than the cheaper om glass and it is bigger.

The OM lenses are smaller and are I think cheaper than AI lenses.

What do you think? What adapters should I buy? Are ordinary chinese made cheap ones ok to use? Or should I invest on a mount and buy a mount that can turn them into autofocus lenses if there is one?

It's fast and sharp, I used it for work almost every week and you won't find anything better suited for small, dark places.

I'm new too photography. I have a Canon 450D i bought from my sister 6 months ago, and i'm looking for a new camera. I have been contemplating mirrorless, like the Sony A6000, but i'm a little bit unsure about the lense selection and if i need to go that far up to have a OK mirrorless with a viewfinder.

Any suggestions or pinpoints?

This is my first time on /p/ and probably the last.

Did I fuck up with this purchase?

I impulse bought a Canon EOS Rebel T6 on eBay for $400 bundled with a Case and 48GB SD Card. The stock lense it comes with is the 18-55mm.

After buying it I read some reviews and watch some youtube videos and realized it has an old sensor in it and only 18 MP and I should of bought the Nikon D3300 instead because it has a better sensor?

All I wanted was a camera that was better than my smartphone camera that could also transfer files wirelessly. The T6 had that so I went with it. However, should I return it and get the Nikon?

so I bet this has been asked before but I'm gonna ask it again.

I already have a nice camera and a bunch of lenses. How do I convince myself to be happy with them instead of always wanting to buy more shit?

Looking to buy a medium format film camera. I had a Holga 120 and enjoyed the larger size. Not looking for a TLR, but one with either the rangefinder style or with the option of having a prism viewer. Any suggestions or experiences?

I know most TLR cameras should have a tripod for the best shot. Is this true for all medium format cameras?

Any recommendations for Pentax lens for wildlife, landscapes and portrait? Please I need some help

>>2893497

just go use your new camera and don't agonize over this

>>2893510

>>2893532
thanks for the advice!

>>2893510
How big do you want it? You want 6x6 like your Holga or some other format? Do you want to be tied down to a tripod a lot or do you want something a little more handholdable?

Rangefinders are meant to be handheld, in my opinion. If you want an SLR with a prism then that's going to be heavier and more likely to be on a tripod. Rangefinder vs SLR is a pretty major difference in shooting style and system size and weight, which one exactly do you want? Also, many medium format SLRs are commonly used with waistlevel finders instead of prisms because the prisms tend to be big and heavy, are you sure you want a prism or would you be ok with a WLF?

Why not just get a small cheap compact or a cheap slr which can be found for $50 or less and load it with 1600 iso film for dat dere low light capability.

>>2893539

6X6 or 6X7 is ideal, 6X4.5 could work too. I would prefer to be without a tripod. I usually shoot street scenes, some portraits, and a few landscapes (but without changing lenses for large landscapes).

I like the Mamiya 6 or 7 but I'm concerned that the final composition will be different from what I see through the view finder. (They're also more expensive cameras, but thats part of the issue with going MF)

WLF would be fine, so long as I don't need to lug around a tripod for each shot.

Are light meters common in these cameras or should I expect to be using my phone or a handheld?

>>2893148
Anyone /p/?

>>2893547
They're usually unmetered, I use my phone or my GR as a meter. With some systems like my Bronica SQ you can get an optional metered prism but those are expensive and bulky and even then they just give you metered manual with a spot meter, not autoexposure.

I like my SQ (6x6) a lot, Bronica also has the GS-1 and ETRS which are similar but for 6x7 and 645 so you could get a Bronica for any format you want and they're cheap reliable sturdy cameras with pretty decent lenses. The Hasselblad V system is beautiful and iconic and 6x6, but way more expensive than the SQ. Pentax 67 is good too, or 645 if you want something modern with AF and autoexposure and everything. Fuji also made a lot of excellent rangefinders in various formats.

Don't be too concerned about getting the very best lenses and stuff with medium format. Sure the Hasselblad Zeiss lenses are amazing and probably blow the fuck out of most everything else, but it doesn't even matter because the film is so big that you can get good high quality scans or large enlargements anyway. Pretty much the only 120 cameras that aren't sharp are the Holga and some Soviet garbage.

Stick with DSLR, I'd say.

Sony hasn't really offered anything spectacular in terms of photography, their video full frame bodies are mint but that's really expensive stuff.

Get a prime lens like a 35mm (for crop frame) and enjoy the increased sharpness. Maybe jump into a t5i or a t6 if you want a new body.

>>2893497
>Yup, totally fucked up. You should give it to a hobo and hope he can trade it for a warm beer.

No dude, just go shoot and learn how it works. Every first camera purchase begins with excitement, that fades to doubt and regret, then you learn to use it until you outgrow it and that's when experience shows you what you need/want next.

>>2893541

Memed hard
Sony, Fuji and Canon mounts all have bigger sensors but they have shorter flange distance than your shitty zero quality mft.
I don't get why you even bother buying mft when it has longer adapted lenses than a Sony FF camera.

>>2893405

a6000 is a pretty solid camera. The small size is both a minus and a plus. Nice because it is easy to carry around, a pain because controls are somewhat worse. You really can't go wrong with the a6000 though. But since you already have a Canon, I'd recomend looking at the a6300 so you can adapt Canon lenses with fast autofocus though.

Speaking of your 450D,you should use it some more before you decide on something.

>>2893660
A63000 is a bit above my price range.
My main problem with my Canon is that i struggle getting pictures inn the dark, and that its a pain to carry around day-to-day.

>>2893690

>My main problem with my Canon is that i struggle getting pictures inn the dark

Everything struggles with that. But a modern camera would be CONSIDERABLY better than the 450D. That thing is from what? 2008? That is 8 years of advancing sensor design.

You could try a flash depending on where/what you are shooting.

>and that its a pain to carry around day-to-day.

Then you will want mirrorless.

Look at Sony and Fuji mirrorless cameras then. Avoid micro four thirds, their sensors are too small and have shit low light performance.

I personally prefer Sony, but Fuji is well liked by many and not a bad choice either.

>>2893699

>mirrorless

Anyone who thinks a DSLR is a pain to carry around doesn't want a damn mirrorless. They want a rangefinder.

>>2893722
>Anyone who thinks a DSLR is a pain to carry around doesn't want a damn mirrorless. They want a rangefinder.
It's not a pain to carry around. But it's to big for me to take out on a daily basis. Then i only limit myself to events and happenings. That is why i want something smaller.

You will se a lot of diffraction at pixel level, reducing your useful aperture range to 24MP APS-C level, so f/11-f/16 tops. You will also see noise creeping in just like on the aforementioned crop sensors due to same pixel pitch.
It is mostly a landscape and studio/product photo camera so you'll want to use it near ISO 100. Other than that it is a nice and usable camera, you just have to work with the limitations.

>>2893772
Wow what's wrong with with the 5DSR? I think it is a $1000+ camera right?

>>2893815
Nothing wrong but with such high pixel pitch you get penalties compared to the 5DIII, 6D or 1DX.
Not much really, the sensor has similar specs (apart from the obvious pickles) as the D7200 or the K-3

Have anyone any experience with the Kodak DCS Pro SLR/n?
Is it worth any to day? Or is it an old weird meme camera?

If you don't even know whether you want a wide-angle or a telephoto, you don't know what you're doing. Figure that out before you buy anything.

>>2893209
I just sold mine as well and it's not weather sealed. AF is too clicky for video and it's not very reliable for action stuff at f1.8. Which honestly isn't a tall order, even at 1.8, the DoF isn't THAT thin in most situations. Absurdly sharp and great build quality tho, there's literally nothing else like it for a fast aps-c zoom.

>>2893506
actually use them regularly. cured me of GAS

>>2893861
I want both ideally, I typically shoot both landscapes and wildlife. However I can only afford one for the time being so I wanted to know if anyone has had any negative or positive experiences with them.

Had a good finger fucking session with the Pentacks K-1, dayum shame. Such a sluggish system despite the feature set.

Sticking with my 5D MKIII and probably upgrade when the MKVI finally hits.

>>2893869
go for the 70-200mm. Wide angle will not be useful for wildlife, and the telezoom can be used for landscape.

>>2893879
Thanks familia. I shall do that.

what is a decent lens for street photography for £200 max on a crop camera?

>>2893882
See >>2891992 I find the EF 17-40mm f/4L USM a very useful lens going from UWA to normal FOV. Slightly tighter with crop bodies though.

BUT 70-200mm on crop bodies is pure tele, so you'll be very limited in your ability to take dramatic, wide shots up close. Not impossible but you'll be stepping back several hundred feet to get similar framing as the 17-40mm.

If you don't have a UWA to normal zoom, go with the 17-40mm, and definitely this would be a priority lens out of the two as it's much more versatile.

Only go for the 70-200mm if you don't have a telephoto zoom lens.

PS; f/4 with no optical stabilization will be a struggle. Go with the IS version, or better yet, f/2.8 WITH optical stabilization (Tamron VC or Canon IS).

>>2893849
Tamron 70-200/2.8 VC USD

I'm looking for some advice guys. I'm looking to get a dslr to learn on.

I'm looking for a relativity cheap body that I'll be able to put some nice lenses on eventually, depending if photography is a hobby I really enjoy.
Right now I'm looking at getting one of these.

I'm sure the lenses are pretty bad but I figure they can be replaced eventually. Thanks f a m.

>>2893916
Nikon,
not even once.

>>2893913
I hope you're just pretending to be retarded KeK.

Try get the same framing as on 17mm at 200mm or even 70mm with out moving.

>>2893917

This. If you're poor, that is the only reasonable option.

>>2893926
rebel t5i

>>2893933
Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM. A lityle qt3.14 of a lens with decent optical performance. Wouldn't recommend the 50mm f/1.8 STM yet because it's equivalent to an 81mm FOV which is crazy tight for street shooting.

Hell, even 50mm on fool frame is too tight for me.

>>2893933
Your phone will be a better choice

>>2893938
thank you senpai i'll have a look into getting one if you recommend it

>>2893945
Go to a store and demo it. Other option is the original EF 35mm f/2, but those are now far behind modern optic performance as well as loud, screechy things with the outdated AF motor.

Still think 24mm on crop is a more suitable street photography focal length though.

>>2893883
35mm is the usual standard, some will say 50mm but that can be a bit cramped in tighter spaces.

I'd even say sub 18mm wide angle for really close up contact

>>2893916
most of those bundles are crap as in the filters and such are of poor quality

the standard 18-55mm kit lenses are not bad and it will serve you well to determine what type of prime you'd like to purchase in the future

>>2894008
I figured as much. So is nikon really that bad or is it just a meme. I'm doing a bit of research into the a6000. Is sony a good "ecosystem" to get into, lens-wise or should I just save up a bit more for a canon?

>>2893943
Hey, Sonyfag.

- 35mm point n shoot with a fixed lens
- meters ISO 1600/3200, allows pushing/pulling
- good lens
- auto focus
- fits in a pocket, or a small bag
- not shitty

Name that camera

>>2894017
nikon has a slight edge in photo quality in certain instances, but canon seems to have better video focus capture capacity

You can't really go wrong with either, it's almost a pepsi vs coke argument. that being said, the sony mirrorless shills really push hard here

>>2894048
>35mm PnS
>not shitty

Give up on AF and get a rangefinder, or a small SLR with a pancake lens.

>>2894066
>the sony mirrorless shills really push hard here

I'd say the Fuji shills are worse. They are almost militant about how their 20 lens ecosystem is perfect.

>>2894089
I mean...I posted that the camera was supposed to have AF, and you recommended something that wasn't AF.

Did you not read that the camera recommendation was supposed to have af? Am I missing something?

>>2894048
>Is sony a good "ecosystem" to get into, lens-wise or should I just save up a bit more for a canon?

E-mount is at a weird place now.

Their APS-C ecosystem is pretty awesome. Well rounded and affordable.

Their fullframe is limited and stupid expensive though. Pretty much pro lenses only.

On the plus side, their newer bodies can adapt Canon EF lenses with pretty fast autofocus....if you buy a ridiculously priced $400 adapter.

I actually like Sony's cameras quite a bit, but I'd say just go with Canon. They are solid cameras, with a very mature ecosystem. A DSLR still outperforms a mirrorless when it comes to autofocus speed too.

Might need a bit of repair advice for my camera:

>Fogged up viewfinder like crazy
>Viewfinder eventually cleared a bit
>However now when I use Aperture Priority the shutter speed is always weirdly low even for well lit conditions

What do you reckon has happened here, has the condensation fucked up the sensor or something?
Might take the camera to Jessops today at lunch, not sure if it just needs a sensor clean or booked in for repairs.

>>2894262

He obviously meant to quote
>>2894017


He even quoted part of the text of the post.

>>2894296
Never had any problem with my Pentax in heavy rain. Sounds like fogging on the metering sensor. Probably insufficient sealing, perhaps the lens was not sealed.
Try putting it in a drybox without any covers, any sealable plastic container and a ceresit or similar desiccant, wait for a day or two and try again. Do the same with the lens.

>>2894377

I'll give that a go, cheers man.

Got a 12K shutter count Nikon D600 for $530. Long time Canonfag so looking at switching into the Nikonfagness. How did I do?


No lenses with it but looking at getting either the Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 or Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 VC USD as my first lens for it.

do books count as gear ? post some good books about photography

>>2891930
Yi Action Cam bruv. Either the normal version or the 4k version. All the go pro accessories basically work with it.

>>2894443
It's a D7000 prone to having over oiled shutter blades.

It's not particularly special, but the price is very good.

Bryan Peterson: Understanding Exposure

there are people on this website, in this thread reading this post right now, that have screen protectors on their cameras

The screen under it did not.

I have a 5D Mk2 and have been wanting to jump to the Nikon camp, how much of a stupid idiot am I being right now?

Yes, you are stupid. Right now it is the Bentax K-1 on the top of the menu.

>>2894517
You don't have movement filtered pixel shift on Nigon

>>2893209
Any substitute for this? More weatherproof? This lens isn't that heavy honestly...

>>2891977
D810 is good for huge prints and landscape-style things, D750 is really nice for low-light.

Both are FF, the 810 is 36mp and the 750 is 24mp

There's not really such a thing as magic lantern for Nikon, sadly. The D750 does have highlight display built in, though, along with other nice things for recording use.

If you must have a ML-style thing I'd check out http://nikonhacker.com/, they might be able to help you.

Because DSLR, there's a 30 minute recording limit so you don't have to pay extra tax on it as a camcorder (Retarded, I know). That can only be gotten around with an external recorder or firmware hack.

The D500 isn't full frame, but worth looking at for its 2160p30 video.

>>2894519
that shit don't matter

>>2894506
>>2894517
So buy a 11-24 you turbonigger

>>2894521
There is no weatherproof competitor to this lens. There is no competitor to this lens, full stop. Buy it or don't, put a plastic bag over it.

>>2894536

WHAT
THE

>>2894536
>So buy a 11-24 you turbonigger

Tamron 15-30 f/2.8 is a much closer alternative.

>>2894581
It goes to eleven.
Crazy focal lengths cost crazy money.

>>2891977
>Anything I should keep in mind when deciding?

You should definitely try them in a shop first.
The ergonomics are very different.

>>2894490
fuck yeah I do, I don't have a touch screen and it literally saved my screen from a edge bang once

What's the consensus on the Lumix gm5? My local store has one right now for $475 with the 12-32mm F/3.5-5.6 kit lens.
Right now I only have a Nikon d70 so it's a huge upgrade.

How do I know what lens length I need?

I've only ever really shot with 50mm and shorter but I'd like to start getting into some wildlife photography.

Some people say you need at least 400mm but that seems like a bit of overkill. Would I really be screwing myself with a 70-200mm f/2.8 and getting an extender later on if I need it rather than just getting a 100-400 or something like that?

>>2893617
Perhaps an 8 or 12mm Rokinon?

But the Sigma Art and a 100mm Canon L macro are already very nice.

>>2891773
so I want to buy a DSLR that also shoots high quality vids.

Is there a wiki or an faq on this board so i'm not the millionth anon who asks the same old questions about features, brands, places to buy?

-Good lens pouches for 18-55 kit lens and two above so I can stick in existing backpack
Or
-Do it all bag that just werks
Will be carrying total of 3 lenses and 1 body with acc.

Also, how to attach full size tripod to backpack. Weight not a concern, is aluminum. Length is about 3.5ft folded as compact as it goes
Was thinking bungees, spitball ideas. Not buying another tripod this needs to fit on or in my backpack whilst on a bike.

>>2894893
a tip for the tripod carrying. Get 2 plastic ties that are used to bundle wires together one on each side ..into a loop and attach a guitar strap/camera strap

I'm a fan of non camera bags, less "I have thousands of dollars on my back" vibe. But that depends on if you trot around the city at night alone. you can buy the camera inserts for about $10 on ebay

you lens wants sounds decent

>>2894855
any nikon or canon dslr can give you that(5500 up and t6i upwards), if you want more specialized stuff, you are better off buying a dedicated video camera

I have a Tamron 70-300 f/4-5.6 VC that's relatively new. Yesterday it struggled to auto-focus at all on my D3300, searching up and down way past the ideal mark. I tested it on a D500 as well and while a little better still struggle to find focus in less than ideal conditions.

However today it is auto-focusing fine, even zoomed in on close/dark objects on all sorts of different settings.

Is there any reason why this might happen or am I just being retarded?

>>2894904
Thank you for reasonable reply will look into strap solution.

I want to make my current backpack work. Have too many bags already.
Problem is it's kinda flimsy for cams hence lens pouches

Good on lenses you think?
Will probably buy them then.
Also going to get:
-Few covers/filters (UV and polarize mostly everything else obsolete IMO w/ postprocess)
-More lens wipes
-Lens pouches I guess
-Adapter ring for extant lens from mom's old SLR. (Sigma 35-70mm lens)
I assume that was the "kit lens" for hers because she said she didn't have any other lenses

I can do this because I was going to spent +$50 more on Canon 75-300 but did reading and Sigma APO is better lens and cheaper

>>2894796
GM5 sells itself on size. That's nearly EM10 II money, or EM10 or EM5. Ask yourself how small you want to go. A GM5 with the 20mm is a svelte combination though.

A D70 is a perfectly good camera though. Maybe buy a D7000 used if you feel the body's too dated, but you like DSLR controls.


>>2894821
Depends what kind of wildlife, but the rule of thumb is that you never really have enough. That being said, a 70-200 is only good for being up close when the bear is about to maul you. A 70-300 on crop is getting there. A 100-400 is nice. 200-500 or 150-600 is even better. It just keeps going up. Birds need long focal lengths because they're tiny, animals need the same because they're skittish (or you are, in the case of bears).

For mere mortals, get a 70-300 and make do. A 70-200/2.8+2xTC gives you a lot of flexibility (low light, or 400/5.6), but at the expense of image quality for the same price (compared to AF-S 80-400/100-400L). They're "sharp enough" instead of "very sharp". Ask yourself what you value more.

>>2894912
You could be retarded. Check the lens contacts for cleanliness.

Is there any settings I should turn on/off on the Sony a6000? Something that would boost picture quality. I noticed on most photos, even on the focused areas, it tends to get smudgy. It could be me though.

>>2894904
>>2894915
Also I'm an idiot it's f1.8 not 1.4 but still a good lens I think.

>>2894915
when you purchase the lens filters make sure it's brass, more expensive but it'll save you the hassle of it not getting stuck or breaking/warping

>>2894942

Yes, jpegs.

While Sony has some of the best
sensors on the market, their jpeg processing is....sub-par to say the least.

Shoot raw and process them yourself for better results.

The 16-50 kit lens isn't all the sharp either. It is a "good enough" lens. Doesn't excel or fail in any area, but it is small and "good enough" for most shots.

>>2894940
Thanks for the advice so far. I think I will use my D70. Learn the ins and outs of the camera before upgrading in the future.

The only lens I have currently is the af-s nikkor 18-70mm 1.35 4.5g ED, which I believe is the kit lens. Do you recommend I get another lens or will this one suffice for now. I mainly like shooting landscapes.

So a while ago, I made the decision to buy a Canon EOS 1D Mark III, I had a Nikon D200 before buying it and was getting sick of it.

The seller of the 1D said the camera was far too complex for him (He's a surf photographer), how ever I found it very easy to adapt to the camera and learn things about it.

Anyway that being irrelevant, I'm considering swapping it out for a 5D due to it not having a video function. I'm planning to do videos for the gym I go to (Currently do some photography for the coaches) and Automotive videos.

Is it worth swapping out for a 5D, obviously I'll have to spend some more money to get the camera, or should I just get a cheap 550D? (I've used the 5D before but no the 550)

And Also, what are peoples thoughts on Tamron lenses? Looking at getting an AF 28-300mm f/3.5

>>2895007
5D doesn't have a video mode either, you need the MK III for that. Or a 6D.

>>2895017

EF 17-40mm f/4L USM for UWA to normal funz
EF 70-200mm f/4L USM for tele funz

Any of the rectilinear UWA zooms are going to be good;
17-40mm f/4L $500~
16-35mm f/4L IS USM $1,000~
16-35mm f/2.8L USM $1,500~

But consider the Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 VC USD ($1,000) as well as the Tokina 16-28mm f/2.8 ATX Pro ($600) as both are awesome third party solutions.

I have the 17-40mm f/4L USM myself but only using it as a back up lens as I have other lenses that cover it's focal range >>2891992
