| Posted by /dev/nox Looking for a medium format camera... Film camera. I'm on budget. What's better, Mamiya RZ67 or Hasselblad 500CM ? 6x7 or 6x6 frame? For urbex of course  |
| | | | | Posted by Courier 8 So not exactly a camera question, but close enough. I have a good ol D90 with the 18-70 kit lens which kinda fails low light. I've had my eye on either the nikkor 50mm 1.8 e series or the nikon 35mm. Since the D90 is cropframe, would the 50mm bee too tight for most urban stuff? The 35 tends to cost a decent bit more (at least to a college kid), so would the 50 be a good choice to last me for a good while? |
| | | | | Posted by Courier 8 You right, I do need to upgrade my tripod, its a cheap aluminum thing, but it holds for now. The lens is starting to fall apart thanks to a misfortunate TSA inspection and a slip of a pressure washer. |

| | | | | | | Posted by Piecat I'm looking for my first "real" camera, AKA not the crappy point and shoot I have now. The Rebel series by Canon was recommended to me by a few friends, and although it sounds nice and the price is appealing, I'm not really sure what I am doing yet. Specifically, I was thinking about getting a Canon Rebel T5 from Amazon. http://www.amazon....ital/dp/B00IB1BTWI Would this be a good camera for me to get? |

| | | Posted by DertyJerty Any of the rebel series would be a great to kick things off! Once you learn how to use the camera and shoot with manual settings and understand the principals of photography then you can start investing in nicer lenses and eventually a nicer body but id say any of the T3,T5 T3i,T4i,T5i etc will treat you right. I think the T3 and T5 don't have the capability of video and thats the difference between them and the T3i,T4i and T5i so thats something to keep in mind but in general that camera will treat you great! Good luck! I started with a Canon 60D which I would highly recommend then I invested in extremely nice lenses and now I upgraded to a full frame Canon 6D about a year ago~ |
| | | | | Posted by Sevtai So, I am looking to buy my first camera (ever). I have concluded that I should go for a point and shoot digital one (since I am clueless & my budget is really low ~ around 150$). Is it advisable to get a random one at these money or save up for a better one? I don't plan on upgrading soon after that and I am pretty lost at what I should buy (or not). |
| | | Posted by Shawn W. Save up. Even a few hundred dollars more can get you a Nikon D80 and a kit lens. http://smile.amazo...kor/dp/B000MLG9K2/ |
| | | Posted by Sevtai So you think I should go for a used SLR instead? Thought they would still be expensive for me but I guess it's manageable. I might just do that, thanks. |
It's definitely worth it. You can gradually get new lenses for an SLR, whereas with a point-and-shoot, you'd have to get an entirely new camera if what you want to do is beyond what your camera's built-in zoom can do. | | | | | | | Posted by JennyUE Onto my question: Can you just tell me what to buy, or explain stuff to me like I'm 5? Something that is easy for Urbex, small, usable with one hand if necessary, rechargeable battery, and probably in the $500-600 range. And has a tripod I can purchase. I'm guessing the Canon Rebel series will probably fit my needs (I'm researching them a little bit now), but I have no idea what I'm getting into. |
