Hi, I'm p new to photography and I would like to buy a new

>and I would like to buy a new camera

why?

>>2922496
I'd prefer the A6300 - but this belongs into the gear thread.

>>2922497
Bcs I have an olympus that is like 6-8 years old and takes shit photos

Can't speak for the Sony but for the money, I'd take the 70D over the 80D.

>>2922496
Go with the a6300 mirrorless is the future.

Oke, thanks guys

>>2922500
no I meant why as in what do you need it for? Anything specific you want to take pictures of? Do you need to shoot video as well? Hard to say which one to get when we don't really know what you want to use it for

>>2922511
I'd like to photograph landscapes, wildlife, buildings, mabey a bit of video and clouds I really like taking photos of clouds

>>2922513
I'd recommend the DSLR then so you don't accidentally fry your sensor while shooting towards the sun

>>2922515
I guess accidentally frying your retina is a better option?

>>2922516
the Camera will become your eye

>>2922513
And I like taking pictures at night (forgot to mention that)

>>2922496
6300 + zeiss 24 1.8 + sony 50 1.8.
80d can't even 4k

>>2922595
I was thinking of getting 18–105 mm F4 G OSS for an all purpose lens

>>2922718
It's mainly made for video. Not very sharp for 24MP stills.

>>2922723
Then watt would you suggest?
(Bcs I haven't made my final decision on the lens)

>>2922744
>landscapes, wildlife, buildings
>and clouds I really like taking photos of clouds
>I like taking pictures at night
Pentax K-70 or K-3II

>>2922744
Primes. Sigma 30/1.4, Sony 50/1.8 OSS, Zeiss 12/2.8 if you need to go really wide for landscapes. The 24mm Zeiss suggested above is also good but overpriced as fuck. Sigma's 19/2.8, 30/2.8 and 60/2.8 are also brilliant for the price, although on the slow side.

If you really want an all-purpose lens with some degree of sharpness, get Tamron 18-200 or Sony 18-200 (PZ or non PZ). But they're fairly expensive and are going to be shit at night.

Is the 80d a good camera for video/pics?? Or is better for video

>>2922761
It's good but not the best for video, and good but not the best for pics.

>>2922764
What would be the best for both video and pics??

>>2922503
>lag in evf
>flipping pages animation effect while shooting fast
>battery life: 2 minutes
>"mirrorless is the future"

>>2922496

If your main interest is video, A6300.

If stills, 80D.

>>2922501

70D was good, but the 80D has a much better sensor, better stills AF, improved dual pixel video AF, etc. Definitely 80D for the win.

>>2922777
For that price?
Stills - used Nikon D800
Video - Panasonic GH4 or G7

>>2922496
>wildlife,
Mirrorless autofocus can't into wildlife or anything else that moves fast so that rules out the Sony

>>2922831
You're wrong.

>press shutter button
>AF tracks bird but human can't because of EVF lag

kek

>>2922831

>wildlife

Not wasting battery while staring through viewfinder all day is a bonus.

>>2922904
Why don't we just take a more-or-less camera, and put a mirror and prism in front of the sensor to see what's coming through the lens?

>>2922947

It's genius.

>>2922873
oh yeah, and watch that battery life plummet 34% when they started tracking 23% by the end

kek

The video is quite obviously a montage.

You're grasping at straws now.

>>2922897
A6300 has a 16 ms VF lag.
Human reaction time is on the order of 100-200 ms.

The guy in the video has no problem keeping the birds in the frame.

>>2922516
You can point a camera at the sun without looking through the viewfinder you fucking genius

>>2922496
Personally I'm not a fan of mirrorless for a variety of reasons, so I recommend the 80D or better yet the 70D.

>>2922777
A lot of the newer Nikons (even lower end) can shoot 1080p 60fps if you're interested in that.

>>2923144
Are you seriously trying to tell me they stood out there chasing seagulls for several hours. I bet that "montage" took all of 10-15 minutes

>>2922500
>takes shit photos
that has nothing to do with the camera. youre gonna be dissapointed
