Posted by Sand Is this also the thread to ask what lens to get for a camera, or is there a better place for that? I have a Nikon D5100 and have two primes right now (50 and 35mm), but I am looking to get more and have some questions and thought there isn't a better group of people to ask than the UE community! |
Posted by sm0kescreen Does anyone have any suggestions about a good, inexpensive camera for a beginner/amateur (both in photography and urban exploring) with good stabilization? Preferably something costing less than/around $200-$300 and with the ability to take good/decent-quality low-light photos. Having stabilization is a must-have, though, I have tremors that make taking photos hard on anything without good stabilization. And maybe something shock-proof/able to handle falls without breaking? I have a tendency to drop things. This isn't a must-have, though, I can just wear a wrist strap/neck strap. |

Posted by Sand Well then I'm looking on Amazon right now at some non-primes for pet photography and wildlife stuff. I have 35mm and 50mm primes, but I need some auto-zooming (or manual, but non0prime lenses for pets and wildlife). There's a few options...I'm just not sure what to choose, and why there are so many options. What exactly are the downfalls of the auto zooms that cover more distance range, are they just less sharp than a lens that has a shorter range? For in the tiny apartment...

Posted by cameraobscura Canon user here. I've been thinking about going full frame but I love my flip screen for framing shots that are out of the norm. (Think extreme worms eye or birds eye) I currently use 70D for most of my photography. Any recommendations? |
Posted by Lachy I'm looking to buy a used "professional level" camera that can be used mostly for stills but able to take some good quality video. I am looking for a full-frame body that will cost around $1000 used for the body only. The four choices I have come to are Canon 5d mark iii, Canon 6d, and the Sony A7r and A7ii. Can anyone help me narrow down this list, as I know everyone has their own opinion about what is best in a camera. |
Posted by natesidwesturbex What do you guys think of the Nikon d7100? |
Posted by brain-vomit Currently looking to buy a new camera after having to bury the last one, and am debating between the Canon 7D mark II and the Canon 6D. Since the 6D is an entry-level FF, it's definitely very tempting considering how that digests low light, but not all my lenses are EF yet plus the 7D mark II is great for speed and I also do alot of sport/concert/event photography. Would love to hear UER's opinion on both bodies |
