How do you like your a6000? Currently saving up for one myself. :)

Not OP, but I have one and think it's great! Just got back from a trip to Turkey and Japan and it served me great. Form factor was easy to carry, and I even had diff lenses in my jacket pockets. The burst mode is amazing, but that's just the surface of what it offers.

It comes with a kit 15-50mm, and I'm sure I'll get a cheap prime for it down the road.

My Nikon is shit at video, but I have a kit 18-55, 50mm 1.8 G, 18-70 3.5-4.5 G, and 55-300 4.5-5.6 G for it. I think I can get adapters for the Sony, but honestly don't know if I'll mess with it because they're big and prob won't autofocus

Are there any midrange lenses for the a5000 that don't kill portability? My DSLR felt like a pain to lug around on trips

Mirrorless lenses get big once you get passed the kit lens so you should look at an RX100 instead. There are no adapters for nikon lenses that keep the AF which is what keeps me from going "I'll buy mirrorless" and other things, there are trade offs. Perhaps look at micro four thirds cameras as well. The pansonic G7 is pretty cheap on Ebay.

Im not really in the game for an RX100 because of the non-switchable lenses and sensor size. (I have an iPhone 7+ if I just need something pocketable)

I've looked a bit into lenses - I don't really need telephoto, so I'll prob get a 35 or 50 f1.8 and maybe a pancake if they have one.

The kit lens is supposed to be pretty decent and small for an all-arounder so I may just experiment with that for a while. I don't think I'll sink money into using the Nikon ones

Love it, one of my favorite purchases and I just got it last year. It's very easy to travel with and takes great pics imo.

I bought it refurb and it came with a 16-50 and 55-210, which was an amazing deal. I recently acquired some prime lenses that I still need to put through their paces.

One of my favorite features is the built in wifi where you can immediately share pics from the a6000 with a nearby phone or tablet.
 
I'm looking at the newly announced Fuji cameras x100f and the x-t20 and more or less decided that I want to buy one of them. I've been looking at their specs and they seem to be more or less the same cameras feature wise, except that the x100 has a leaf shutter the x-t20 has interchangeable lenses. The x-t20 is also slightly larger, but it's a bit cheaper if I buy it with the fuji 35mm f2 lens.

Am I missing something else big here between the two? I'm looking to buy my first serious camera and I'm afraid of painting myself into an expensive corner with the x100f due to the fixed lens. I'm not interested in buying more lenses yet, but might want the option, so the x-t20 seems to make more sense. On the other hand, I'm afraid it will be too bulky compared to the x100f and that I won't use it as much because of it. Advice is appreciated.

Sounds like you're already on the right track. The X100F should be a phenomenal camera, but you're absolutely right: it'll only ever let you shoot with that one lens. So you'd better hope you can make a 23mm (35mm full frame equivalent) lens work for everything you need it to, especially if it's your primary camera- no zooming allowed. Still, that's why it's so small: everything's integrated.

The XT-20, on the other hand, will be bulkier, but you'll gain all the added flexibility of being able to swap out lenses whenever you want. Because at some point, you likely will: long zooms, wide-angle landscapes, portrait photography, etc. Plus, it has 4K video.

I can't speak for everyone, but I'd expect the majority of people in your situation to go for the X-T20, just for the future flexibility. The X100F is great, but it locks you in. If you're comfortable with that focal length, go for it! It'd be a terrific, albeit limited, travel camera.

What it boils down to: how sure are you that you'd be able to shoot everything you want with the X100F's built-in 23mm?
 
Does anyone know a place where I can check specs about whether the camera crops when shooting Video? I understand, for instance, that the Canon 5D Mark VI doesn't use its full frame when shooting 4K but crops it. So there is more to it that the size of the sensor in and of itself.
I would like to compare how much of their sensor the Nikon D500, the Sony a6500, the Lumix Gh5 , and the Olympus em1 mark ii are using. (Stuff in the Sony a7RII range is out of my budget)

Thank you for this post. I've been thinking about your last question, and honestly I'm probably not confident enough about that focal length to lock into it long-term at the moment. I should probably defer it until a time when I have more shooting experience and can say more certainly that I'm ok with the limitations of that specific fixed length

I think the X-T20 is the sane way for me to go!

Thanks. Seems like they have most of those.

Fuji X-T2 – 1.75x (crop from 1.5x) , I'm guessing the X-T20 will be the same?
Lumix GH5 - 2.00x (no extra crop)
Sony A6300 & a6500 – 1.5x (no extra crop)
E-M1 Mark II - supposedly 2.00x (no extra crop)

First photo shoot with the 810, loving it. Great AF system. Back from shoot...AKA 40 gigs later...GOT DAMN!!!! And I switched to lossless compressed midway too.
 
Co-worker let me borrow this big fucker (Canon 28-300 F/3.5-5.6L).

32295499632_2070e03dec_c.jpg


Optical quality isn't quite as nice as other L lenses, but stretching out to 300mm felt nuts. Autofocus definitely doesn't work as well zoomed way in, I found. Virtually every shot I wound up keeping was manually focused.

You can speed it up a little by toggling on the option to use smart previews in develop mode instead of the full size previews. However that only works on zoom views that are not 1:1. Once you change to 1:1, it switches to the slower, full resolution preview.

I remember the one time I grabbed something longer than Canon's 70-200L for a college assignment many years back... I used it for all of about six minutes before firmly determining I hated everything about it and was having no fun at all. Granted it was school and an assignment, so it wasn't supposed to be "fun," but the thing just felt SO unweildy... I just knew in that moment I would never become a birder.

The extra 100mm over a 70-200 isn't really worth it (especially since the 70-200 is a much better performer) for what I do. I think the 100-400 (plus 1.4x extender, perhaps) would be decent for birds. I didn't have any issue hand holding the 28-300 and keeping some of those ducks in the frame, waiting for them to splash around while they clean off. But I will say after a few hours of shooting and you start to feel it haha.

I'm viewing them in full screen previews to accurately judge sharpness. It's amazing how crisp these things are in full screen.

In that case, you can render 1:1 previews first, then look at them in library mode to pick out the sharp ones. That's separate from the develop mode.

Yeah I pick the keepers out first in library, rate them 5, then in develop I'll adjust one picture as long as they're all in a similar place and then sync all of them and then just go through them again and adjust as needed. It's a lot faster than doing each pic separately like I used to do.

In that case, if you screen the in-focus ones first, then you don't need 1:1 views in the develop module, and can use the faster smart previews freely. Unless you tend to do really minute local adjustments or spot removals.

It depends...sometimes these days I zoom in just to make sure you can actually see their eyes, I think my tone curve adjustments tend to darken that area too much. That and I tend to double check too much. I don't think I even bother with spot remove unless I'm using my work computer. My laptops half dead trackpad is not good with that...kills my finger.
 
I just made a right boo-boo. I left my Camera bag right next to the radiator for two days. lucky it is timed (only for an hour or two in the morning) and i don't think it set as high as the others. I think the camera is ok. There doesn't seem to be any damage, i guess i have to go on extensive shoot and have to see. Fuck.

I haven't moved the camera in the bag, so any grease/oil should just set back in place if it started to melt. Gah i won't do that again.
 
Hi peeps I really need some advice.

I've recently sold my Canon 700d because I want to get a full frame camera.

My options right now are

5D Mark II (used) - with shuttercount 2000 for £850
6D (used/eBay) for about the same price with higher usage. or £900-1000 new.

I was going to go for the 6D because of the image quality vs the 5D Mark 2.

However my local camera store offered to sell me their Canon 5D Mark III before they put it online. It's is a demo unit for £1k, It has a a few cosmetic marks on the body but looks 9/10 with a 50k shutter count. Is it a good deal? It also has a 1 year warranty which I would not get on eBay.

I've heard that these higher-end DSLR's are often rated to go up to 150k shutter count, but

I'm really stuck and can't decide between the 6d and 5dMk3.

I have no idea about shutter count (though I know some don't care as they've never seen shutter failures), but while the sensor isn't that big of a leap the MkIII does have much better autofocus than those two.
Not sure how valuable this is (there could be a lot of selection bias), but there are 5DmkIIIs out there with 1 million on the shutter.

Edit: This is just me speculating, but it seems like demo units should usually be in decent shape considering they've probably never been outside or dropped very far.

I would go with the camera with a better AF system. 5D MkIII's seem to be rock solid and after finally getting a camera with a professionally rated AF system and seeing how responsive it is I'm in love. Depends on what you're doing though. If you're doing macro work it don't even god damn matter. Low light events then yeah it counts. Doing portraiture where the model is just going to free flow into her poses then you need a good AF module that could keep up with her.
 
So I posted on the wrong thread but here goes my gear question.

Can anyone recommend some good external usb 3 hard drives that are fast enough to use to edit photos on? I hate unloading onto my macbook air since it is an flash drive and don't use my PC enough to edit photos on it.

There are Portable SSDs that should be faster than anything with moving pieces, but in general for regular drives, Western Digital, G Technology, and LaCie. A LaCie Rugged should do the job.

Curious, what's a fair sellibg price for a gently used Sony a6000 and Sony 50mm 1.8 lens? Trying to sell it and I priced it at $600, but wasn't sure if that was too high.

the everyday messenger is nice i like it alot. I usually have the 35mm 1.4 on the d800 in there, with the 300f4 on the d500 in there, and then the 135mm in as well, with all the cards and batteries in the front pouch area. I've also fit the flash in with the others. Very easy and convenient to get cameras in and out.

i was talking about the black tub. I've seen similar DIY dryboxes. Was just curious if it was a drybox.
 
So last week I sent a roll of film to Cali to get developed and scanned... got the scans uploaded today and lawd jesus... it's bad haha.

These are the only ones I can actually use:




Yep 2 out of 24 exposures. T___T

This is the first roll of film I used with my Nikon EL2, the roll was a Fujifilm Superia ISO400 and it's nice on certain subjects but it's just too slow for what I was using it for. It also doesn't help that the camera body is so heavy, a lot of the shots just look too shaky.

At least I learned a couple of things from this... the Nikon EL2 works perfectly lol. But it's not something I can use for vacation or whatever as it requires a ton of effort to get a really good shot. Also the Fujifilm Superia's are garbage tier film. ISO400 is too slow and the color rendition isn't just my taste... it's too blue/greenish for me.

Yep, this is what I use for video work: SanDisk Extreme 500 Portable SSD 240GB

It's stupid fast too. The only drawback is that as you go with bigger capacities, the more expensive it is. I bought mine around April last year and it still has the same price as it did back then.

That's why I got it. I wanted A) something perfected and B) a better built camera. D750 has been recalled way too many times for my liking. I wanted an excellent all rounder and that's what the 810. I didn't need a sports camera so I didn't try to search around for a not beat to hell D4 and I do a lot of portraits and head shots these days so went with the best camera for the job. I think I'll adapt to the file size thing so I should be ok. Not like one can't buy more memory these days. I'm already getting a 128gig CF card for it. Though I will admit I ended up doing another shoot with my coworkers D4S and I'm actually getting more used to it the first time, used a D3 as well...that's never getting bought just because the body is ancient. I can live without certain things, but not having any way (that I knew of) to comfortably change AF points while holding it in portrait or zoom into the picture on the screen killed it for me.

Congratulations on buying the 810. Still debating whether to go for that or the 750. I was thinking about waiting, but it takes a good while for firmware/production changes to iron out new cameras so it seems sensible to go for one of those two models.

Probably mentioned this all before, I basically want to upgrade my d700. I shoot a fair bit on medium format and i wanted to start maybe thinking about moving that across to digital. But i am also at looking getting at getting something that is more rugged than my X-pro 2 for wood walks/cliff walks etc etc and the d750 would suffice. Then again, if i am using it for landscapes it be nice to have that extra oomph. But also worried about using it for those quick shots if need be. Thing is i only have a couple of lenses for the 700 and it is still a great camera so i could try out a new lens - but for what i generally shoot (topography , and moving towards william egggleston type stuff) i really only need what i use. So i could even if i wanted move across to canon, and try that for a bit.

Look forward to reading your journey with the 810.

The 810 is a memory hog, but I love it, I'd definitely go for it over the 750 if you have the memory storage for it. It's quite frankly a better built and more comfortable camera to hold to me...I have it vertical gripped, but not everybody believes in those. Frankly it's the best portrait camera I've ever used and it's great for landscapes as well. I could have also gotten a D4 cause of the smaller files, but I don't really need a camera that fast and the 810 AF system seems pretty responsive actually, just need to put it through its paces more. These are from my first real day using it, came back with 40gbs in images...

Yeah when I had one of them up full screen zoomed in I was able to see the floor number markers in the building, I was stunned. Thing is sharp as a Nippon forged katana. Can't wait to use it some more.
 
Need a relatively cheap camera for my starting youtube channel. Been using my 6plus,but I'm looking at a point and shoot. Would you recommend the Sony HX80 for better video or do I need to look at the RX100?

They didn't have very good shutter damping back then, especially on cheap SLRs. I was pretty conservative with my shutter speeds and surprised when a shot at 50mm and 1/125 (most likely, I find 1/60 too slow and it wasn't that dark) was quite blurry. Stay conservative and you should have a high keeper rate. Take multiple pictures if you're on the edge.
Cheap ISO 400 film is known for being quite grainy. You also have to get used to it being fast by film standards :P
Try to get "raw" scans (like TIFF) and tweak the colors yourself. Makes a big difference in my scans. You could also try more expensive films. Where I live the price difference isn't very big when you factor in the processing and scanning.
 
Well , i got a new camera! Gone for the D750. I think in reality i wanted that flexibility that it offers. I also figured that if i start to specialise in MF photography again i would want to do it on film, and do it the right way. It not just the pixels, but rather the ratio of the negative, colours, and other qualities that i enjoy from using it.

Arrived today, surprisingly light and the grip is nice and deep. Bit weird seeing a old lens on it though. The wear and tear on a new body! Look forward to using it in the coming days .

Have fun with it. I almost got that camera, but wasn't a fan of how it felt in my hands or the amount of recalls it went through. I'm still getting a little used to the 810, but I have no regrets with it. I'd love to go medium format, but I can't see it being justified by anything I do so I'm more than happy with the 810. Lucky enough for you you don't get god damn nigh 50mb 14 bit compressed Raws on the 750 or 75mb uncompressed. Turned that stuff into a TIFF most likely 16 bit and the file was like 256mb. I use these as my wall papers on my laptop...need to print these at some point.
 
I really need a 70-200mm lens, but the budget is not really there <£500 if possible on a 6D. The Canon EF 70-200mm F4L used can be had for about £350, but not sure that's the best choice. I can go up to £500 if anyone has any recommendations. Used is fine.

the 70-200 f/4 is really nice and if that's your budget then go for it.

Do you need F2.8? Tamron has an older 70-200 with no VC for a good price. Sigma has one that's not too bad on ebay at times as well. Tamron is also making a new 70-200 VC that should hopefully tank the price of the current one as well. There are also older versions of the Canon 70-200 as well that can't be that badly priced.
