>>4487023 exactly the point, your parents hate you by the time you're 7, and by middle age you don't give a fuck about the details of your great grandfathers pointless life. No one has any reason to give a fuck about you, if you're living for other people, you might as well end it now bc in 3 quick generations no one will be left alive with any living memory of your existence. You'll be as interesting to humanity as some random shoemaker was in the 1300s.
Better find a fucking purpose in life, bc if it's breeding your way to relevancy like a dimwitted suburban housewife, that is absolutely nothing.

>the grapes are sour anyways and anything people used to do and think is for idiots Humans are the only thing that is economically and philosophically real. Everything else is made up by humans. Gold has no value. History has no value. Only dynasty even comes close to being true. Cloning yourself to maintain an empire.
You only think reproduction is pointless because you have convinced yourself to own nothing and possibly even that ownership is bad.
The people who instilled these values in you believe the complete opposite and take reproduction as a form of cloning so seriously that they are highly inbred to the point of having unique genetic disorders and use genital mutilation to differentiate themselves from what they own. And that what, is quite a lot, including you.

I have been contemplating buying a real camera for years, but never managed to figure out which camera and which lense to get. /p/ always discourages me further, with their very mean comments, gate keeping, recommendations of only cameras that are not in production anymore, etc Why are you people like this ?

>>4491001 It's not that hard
Figure out what specs and features and performance goals you want or need
Figure out your budget
Figure out which models you like using by going to a store and actually trying them, or renting
Taking longer than a few days is just your autism

He starts his day with his beautiful photographic tool, prepared the night before in hopeful anticipation of a day full of visual wonder. Every lens, camera, and sometimes film, combination explored in his mind for the plethora of scenic possibilities that may confront him during the day at hand. He awakes, proudly slinging his camera du jour, venturing to a local café where he may map out his “photo walk”. Reality sinks in with each sip of his oat milk latte. For months, even years now, he has attempted to capture beautiful, fleeting and increasingly disappearing moments, of a world growing uglier by the day, for a narcissistic audience growing more jaded, self-absorbed and increasingly negative. His images must compete with a digital bombardment of auditory, textual and video excess: algorithmically perfected to a new golden ratio of 1/3 talking-head to 2/3 rage-inducing stimuli. What right does he have to add another speck of white noise to the swarm? He sighs and takes out his iPhone 17 Pro, carefully composing a tableaux of his static, unused camera with the Leica-red coffee mug, which is sadly one of the reasons why he frequents this cafe. With a click of the iPhone’s screen, 15 raw images are captured instantaneously, stacking them to maximize dynamic range, remove noise, enhance details, followed by the processor’s detection of the subject, auto-masking and then blur effect to simulate “bokeh” and finally a pleasing film-like color science filter is overlaid.

I spent $5000 on camera equipment in the last year and I take medicore snapshits of my walks and cons I visit.
I have enough wealth where even if I lit that money on fire instead I would be comfortable and only mildly annoyed.
Instead I have excellent top-grade modern lenses paired with a capable full frame body that I still take with me despite weighing more than 500 grams.
I bet his dick flew off reading that

Silly question, but what's the point of getting an adapter and using vintage lenses on modern DSLRs? I've seen a few people do it and was wondering if there is a practical reason for it or it's just about the novelty/feel of using a lens where you have to physical dial in the aperture, focal length and focus? Or are there vintage lenses with certain specs that just don't exist for digital cameras? I guess those beercan style lenses don't exist for DSLRs for instance.

Dafuq is up with the battery life on my Leica D-lux 4? Am I doing something wrong? Is it defective? After shooting DSLR for many years I came into a D-lux 4 and was stoked to try out a Leica, and also to jump on the digicam fad with some of my friends- but this battery life is killing me. I'm used to switching my DSLR on and forgetting about it for literal days at a time- choose a setting and go out and it's always ready and on standby- especially if I rely on the viewfinder to compose shots. It's also big and kinda impractical for bringing along on errands and day-to-day junk around the city. Enter the compact Leica. Except the battery is so shit I couldn't even get through the operator's manual on two full charges- like using the flash and fucking around with autofocus. There doesn't seem to really be any way to put it on standby/ready mode, so candid portraits and street photography don't work because I'm not quick enough on the draw- as opposed to being able to swing my DSLR up, half-press autofocus and click in an instant. So my question is- am I just completely missing something with the application of this compact camera? It's not fast enough for city life snapshots, isn't really suitable for paid work (mostly concert and band portraits,) and the colors are fine but the raws are nothing special (I kinda like the way it bakes jpegs.) Did moms just keep these in their purse and then tell all the kids at Chuck E. Cheese to be still while the camera powers up? Is there a compact with a viewfinder that will last for 10 hours on standby- taking maybe 15 or 20 pictures- and doesn't need to grow a lil boner every time?

I asked chatgpt to recommend me a camera, considering I never had a real camera, but want a great one nonetheless. It recommended: Both the Nikon Z50 and Canon EOS M50 Mark II are exceptional choices for beginners aiming for professional-quality pictures. They offer great image quality, versatility, and the ability to grow with the photographer's skills. I wonder if this is actually good advice or worthless ai slop?

Someone teach me about TTL I have a Nikon d5200 and 3 Amazon basics flashes (without TTL I think) that I (when I use them) trigger off a radio dohicky on the hotshoe. How does TTL work? Does my camera need TTL flashes to use TTL? Presuming yes do All the flashes need to be TTL? Does "the" TTL flash need to be attached to the hotshoe, or can it be radio? What if I don't want the light to come from center at all? If multiple are needed, do they just slave, or is radio good/bad for them?

I'm looking for my first real camera. I had no idea where to start so I had a look at the image properties of my wedding pictures (which I though were pretty great) to know what camera the photographer used. Turns out he used NIKON D3100 Would this be a good choice for a first camera?

>>4490793 It's just marketing because if your cards are reasonably fresh then the risk is virtually zero on the card side, and on the camera side if it bricks one it bricks two. Just cycle cards along the event if you're so worried.

>>4490797 It's extremely unlikely that you'll irrecoverably loose photos on one card but not on the other. What's WAY likelier is that you'll just no longer be able to write to the card and you'll maybe loose a couple photos that are stuck in the buffer. Dual cards don't even necessarily save you from that, I've had D750 get stuck on card write error instead of dynamically switching the the backup card, as it would've if it was an actual safety feature and not a marketing gimmick.

>>4490734 The R6III has probably moved less than 100 units by now so there's zero chance anyone here has one yet.
That being said you can probably make some basic assumptions about it: It's a moderately high-res FSI sensor with a slighty faster readout speed than the R6II (like 10% faster woo). It's basically the same as the Mark II except it'll be a bit worse in low light and a bit better when cropping / printing very large. That's about it.
The lens however I use somewhat regularly and it's alright. Emphasis on 'alright' and not 'good' or 'great'. It's main plusses are that it's small, light, and cheap. The slow apeture sucks on the long end and I rarely use it beyond 70mm where it starts at f5.6. It relies heavily on distortion correction that cannot be turned off especially at the 24-28mm zone, where it has mechanical vignetting (bad). I use it as my travel snapshit lens and that's it. It's convenient.
If you're hell bent on an R6 (any Mark), I would suggest getting either the RF 24-105 f/4L IS which is heavier and like 2x the price OR getting two primes like the RF 35mm f/1.8 and RF 85mm f/2.
