However,
>EF 28mm f/1.8 is a decent pick for wide-angle >EF 180mm f/3.5 is a macro king if that's why you have the EF 100mm Macro, and can be fucked lugging it around. >EF 70-200 f/4 is probably worth if you'd rather have a zoom lens >EF 100-400mm if you want muh reech I'm all for prime lenses though, so my bias tells me the 28mm (or a 24mm), the 50mm and 100mm you have already all together make a well-rounded and powerful kit.

>>4394000 Should have got an a7cii + the smaller sigma zoom. The sensor is basically the same and the stills they're gonna be identical
That camera is a lot lighter, the sigma is smaller too

>>4393978 That lens does render flat as a board
Sony makes some good rendering zooms. The 20-70 and 16-25 are really good. But if you want RENDERING and I mean the real shit, you have to leave weather sealing behind and shoot with lenses like the 55mm f1.8 and 28mm f2, that tragically lack ass gaskets, and voigtlander stuff, which is totally non sealed. Which is a shame because the a7iv is a tank if you dont put a nonsealed lens on it.

How did they make this look like both early 1980s Ektachrome and 2010s NHK news footage simultaneously? How do I into this kind of subtle, tasteful, aesthetic, and film-nostalgic color grading?

>>4394289 #Every scene except the tube notching on the lathe was a static shot. And the more I look at that, the more it looks like it may have been stationary as well with crop and panning simulation in post. The entire thing could have been shot on a tripod and probably was.
Anonymous
>>4394400 I also think that it's panned in post. There doesn't seem to be any parallax in the image. Which you should see as in such a macro shot.
The color grading is very nice though, it does look older than it should, I think that is helped in part because everything in the video was created no later than 1970.

Can someone tell me what the hype is for this $2k camera? I browsed flickr and the IQ looks horrible for such an expensive p&s bested by 15 year old DSLRs. What am I missing? I can see maybe $1200 tops for it.

>pixel peeping is bad because it gives me buyers remorse so i must despise an entire dimension of art appreciation and demand that photography be limited to postage stamps on the internet And the dogshit lens they put on the x100 compounds it. You can get better quality than a $50 zuiko 50mm f1.8 and a single frame of 35mm film. The x100vi is a serious downgrade from a real film camera.
All 40mp gets you is dramatically upscaled blur and the same dull, frigid colors digital is known for despite film sim claims. A $100 canonet ql17 is vastly superior to this overhyped funko pop.

fujifilm cameras are consistently blurry and have color bleed or just bad colors period with tonal variations totally wiped out. supposedly good if you have kidney failure but it makes healthy skin zombielike.

Daily reminder to print your photos. They aren't worth shit without being printed. We'll be all dead in 100 years, and the only reliable way to preserve our memories is to print physical copies of photos. So, pick a few of your photos, print them and keep the copies. Store them in a box, in an album, whatever. But have physical copies. Plus, it's a complete different story, looking at physical photos vs digital ones. Pic unrelated, posting a snapshit.

I just got a canon selphy printer from a secondhand store. I can't find the cables but I'll test it out tomorrow if I find them. The only thing is it seems like it's actually kind of expensive. I thought getting my own printer would make cheaper prints in the long run but it's looking like it'll be about 30 cents per print. it's a dye sublimation printer which I heard makes better prints but maybe I should have gotten an inkjet to print my shitty snaps instead.

How do you cope with the guilt that you're using suffering of other people to make money/recognition/fame?

>>4394385 If your implying there is value in 'raising awareness' you're sadly mistaken. Literally the words "raising awareness" -to bring to the attention of a higher power who can do something about the matter, except the problem is that the higher power with the capacity to do something about the suffering is the organization profiting from and perpetuating the suffering. Whether or not someone photographs something is a time wasting question designed to shift blame away from people who have organized the systems of suffering onto photographers. It's a question which benefits the system.

>>4394393 It's the most common trick that people in power use. They make you forget that there are real, actual people are behind the suffering. They convince you to blame other people who are equally powerless to keep you from remembering.
This is why voting is such a powerful illusion. The state is doing things you don't like, but instead of blaming the individual people at the state doing those things. You blame the people who voted 'wrong' meanwhile the state does whatever it wants. Because they aren't beholden to the population because you'll always blame someone else for their actions.
Anyway, I'm glad I could help. But the reality is grim.

The slowest handheld shutter speed you should consider without IBIS is 1/60th-1/100th of a second. Increase your shutter speed

Hello, nOOB here, new to this board, looking for an /out/door camera recommendation for taking better pictures than my iphone 15 pro can. I've been told to get a canon sx70, which looks ok, but kinda bulky. I do a lot of photography on windy days on steep cliff edges where I do not want to fall or lug something heavy because I have to scramble on all fours up and down a steep slope to access an overlook. What would you recommend for best picture quality (mostly pictures, sometimes videos, but not as often). I do not want a DSLR or something huge and bulky, and does mirrorless mean there's no viewfinder and you have to compose photos on the screen? I mean I guess that's what you do with iphone, but wouldn't a viewfinder be an upgrade? I used digital cameras like as a kid, so I've had a Nikon Coolpix before. I mostly take photos of landscapes, so I want some zoom, but I don't take many photos of animals, mostly river and cliffs and forests, and I want something that can handle both low lighting and bright sun better than my phone can. That's a big issue with the phone.
Anonymous
>>4394364 Think about if you are going to do wide-angle landscapes, or zoomed in landscapes. That will determine the bulkiness of your lens, and you'll want a heftier body if you have a heavy lens.
Will you shoot on a tripod?
Are you going out to shoot, or shooting while you go out?
Total weight limit for all camera gear?
I'm perfectly happy to do wide-angle landscapes with my pocket camera (XF10), while leaving the z8 at home. So it's not all about the dollar amount.

>>4394366 >Think about if you are going to do wide-angle landscapes, or zoomed in landscapes. I need both. I always do both.
I am usually shooting river gorges and I want to be able to capture the whole thing, and the details.

After a few month hiatus from photography, I have had some inspiration and for the first time I am going out with purpose and vision. I have a rough idea of what kinds of compositions I am looking for and it's been a completely different experience from my aimless walkabouts. Now I feel like I'm trying to bring something into reality, I'm trying to share something with people that can't be communicated strictly with words and producing things that are meaningful to me instead of just pleasant images. >inb4 show us No. They aren't even close to being ready, let alone a coherent set.
