Sensor size has pros and cons. One big advantage is smaller lens sizes. I have an (even) older Olympus as a second camera and my main camera is m43 as well. I recently bought the Peak Design 3 litre sling and I fit the two cameras and four lenses in it - two primes, two zooms. It's advertised for one camera and two smaller lenses

I loved hearing you talk glowingly about the Nikon D7100. I shoot with a Z8 and D850. The D7100 has been a stout backup. If an innate photograph is extraordinary, the D7100 will not diminish it.

I recently got a good as new Samsung NX300 with the 16-50mm powerzoom lens and I really enjoy it. A fun little snapper and relatively compact and I like colours this samsung produces! Nice to mix it up with my Olympus EM5 Mark II and Lumix LX100 which are great to use with their great tactile controls but sometimes it's nice to have something as basic as the NX300.

Good video... I would also include the Olympus OMD EM10 mk2, very small and great features.... Also the Olympus EM1, as a professional grade camera has a magnesium body, in camera focus stacking and very cheap accesories like a battery grip, even though I have for more modern cameras it is still the first camera I pick up when going out.

Love Olympus and micro 4/3. Idk why they're so much more fun to use!

is an nikon d3200 good for a begginer o shoud i buy an nikon d7100 ?

What matters the most is what system you want to buy into and what is the upgrade path. Canon, NIkon, Sony, Olympus, Fuji, are all good...And all are leaning into "content creation" over "art" these days too.

I added the G100 to my MFT cameras last year, got a great deal on a brand new one with the tiny kit lens. I really like it for how light and compact it is and it’s perfect for daytime hikes. Lack of IBIS means I still take the GX80 out more, but for well lit situations where you want small and light the G100 is perfect.

Ever since I have been using a shift lens with an adapter that moves the sensor behind the lens but not the lens, my panorama image always stitch together seamlessly.

waded through this, interesting it ended up with the camera i am trying to replace. i think the camera ( D7200 in my case) is great, but you could have said the D7500 that probably being the last of the line. it is the photographer ( me) that sometimes asks too much. and the lack of a really fast 500 mm equivalent lens.

Every video I see headlining UNDER $XXX, I find the actual prices on eBay are at least 2X $XXX, sometimes even more.

A7C II is like a nuclear warhead to the D5600's firecracker. The original A7C would be more than enough of an upgrade. Just a little tactical nuke. 😅

I, myself, own a Fuji x-t20, is around 400-450 euros, the camera works great and is extremely fun to shoot if you want a more tactile experience (I consider that the results are not the only important thing in photography, enjoying the process is a huge part of it). Let's not forget about the fuji film simulations, the colors are gorgeous, I mainly shoot jpegs. The lenses, I think are a bit more expensive than sony or canon ones (didn't do a lot of research on this topic)

Another benefit of the Nikon D7100 is it has the sprocket that old Nikon autofocus lenses require as they don’t have built-in autofocus motors. I think the D7200 was the last enthusiast Nikon DSLR to include that sprocket. I don’t know when or if it was removed on higher end bodies.

@BlueBomberTurbo

Ай бұрын

D7500 was the one that removed everything, because the D500 had arrived before it and took the flagship spotlight. So having those features would've put the D7500 way too close to it.

The Fuji X-T20 is also around 300 bucks on ebay. Got mine in mint condition with the great 18-55 premium kit lens for 600€. Upgraded from a Sony alpha a6000.

I've been looking at the Lumix G100 for just indoor video with my setup. Just still debating on pulling the trigger on it. I would use my Lumix GX85 but then I'm tied to the app with no flippy screen. I still do love that camera a lot but a coworker knocked it out of my hand with a cane on accident and now I can't charge batteries internally At least he didn't break it. Though my sister did crack my screen within three weeks of owning it. Had it 6 years now and still going though

The DR on the D7100 was crippled by the banding caused by the Toshiba sensor. I had one, and the next camera I bought was literally the NEX-6. Was amazed by how much better the DR was on it than the D7100. AF was also way more reliable, not having to fine tune lenses just to get them to be usable. NEX-6 worked perfectly with any and every lens from day one. One of the biggest reasons I switched to mirrorless a couple of years later.

@alexmirza5210

29 күн бұрын

I do agree that mirrorless system is much more dependable to get focus spot on at all distances. Banding is only a problem at really high isos which I avoid though. Hmm food for thought. I have a nikon Z6 for general purpose use, wish I could have afforded a Z7.

When the g100 first came out I didn't t think much of it. But as it turns out it's actually a pretty decent camera especially for it's size etc. The canon m6 is definitely the better version of the m3 albeit a little more expensive ( not by much tho). But the original M and M2 are actually highly capable cameras as well. Some of my best/favorite work I took, was with the OG eos M and M2. And the best part of those models is that you can add Magic Lamtern to them and unlock the cinema cameras from within that have caused a bit of a mega cult following, that, to this day is still being talked about and improved upon

my pick would be the a5100

The NEX-6 was my only mirrorless camera for 9 years! Great option where “budget” doesn’t mean “basic”. My mini-review and some tips: PROS: Light and durable! This is all magnesium - many a6*** models use more plastic. Lovely controls and ergonomics Shoots good RAW. PDAF and basic face detection. Nice viewfinder and hood even though resolution is low. CONS: “W” battery life is just OK. High ISO noise looks bad. Buttons not super customizable Best video quality is in AVCHD format (don’t buy this for video.) Picky about USB chargers Loud shutter TIPS: Take advantage of Sony’s older OSS lenses! 16MP doesn’t require 2024 sharpness. Kit lens still not great. 50mm 1.8 OSS is excellent wide open. Make sure the grey control wheel (under PASM knob) functions correctly.

You can shoot in a smaller cropped RAW format (1.95x) to up the buffer a bit. I think dropping down to compressed and 12-bit helps, too. But yes, D7200 was peak consumer DX, and D7500 was the last D7xxx, though it lost some compatibility and features because the pro D500 existed.

NEX-6 has the best image quality, followed by E-M1.1. I've owned both, and they're both great cameras. To the point that I think I want another of one of them. D7100 has better low light ability, but its DR is hampered by heavy banding. Not even the M3 has it as bad, and Canon was known at the time for their constant banding ruining pictures. D7100 is also absoultely massive compared to the rest, as are its lenses. G100 has weird color casts in the shadows to contend with, so I wouldn't suggest it, either.

A6000's flash is also more powerful.

Reson people skip m43 cause nowaday : M43 daker 1 stop than crop or 2 ev than ff. And ff/crop camera is much cheaper than in the past. For exp u can get zve10 for 600 usd or a7r2 for 1000 usd used or a72 for 500 usd used. If u buy nikon like d610/d750 or canon 5d3 it even cheaper. In where i live u can buy d610 used for 300 usd. And the iq is so much better. And dslr lens is so cheaper too. 2 . so many good lens and cheap lens for crop. Exp sony or fuji. U have sigma, tamron, samyang. Cheaper u have ttarsian, 7artsian, youngno, tokina. Exp youngno. Their cheap 50 1.8 for crop only 110 usd brand new. buy crop camera like nikon z30/zve10 or fuji xt30 with china prime lense is a wise choice than m43 with exspensive lense for most of people. M43 now i think suit for people with special require like 4k film no over heat, ibis for action video.
