My tech company wants me to start a YouTube channel on camera reviews, and I feel in over my head. I take photos but I'm not a huge tech head, I'm not trying ever camera under the sun before I buy one.

2. The review was created after the return window has elapsed.

>>4418587 honestly the idea of being a 'camera reviewer' is nonsensical. You can't really review a camera if you only have it for a couple days/weeks. You can gather some technical information and provide a first impression of ergonomics, but that's about it. To be fair that's what most people do. But I feel like you can't properly give it a critique until you've spent months/years with a camera. There have multiple moments of discovery with my camera that took place long after buying it. Aspects of design suddenly clicking and now making sense, when they didn't initially and seeing how all the systems and design choices fit together in a new way opening up new ways of using the camera, really figuring out how the camera wants to be shot

>>4418590 >actual schizobabble It's not. It's a tool, but it was designed hence decisions had to be made about how to use it. Believe it or not hammers have a way they want to be used as well, you don't get to choose which side to use and still have it function at it's best. It's not anthromporphizing, you're just retarded.

it was just a snapshot when I was hiking. It's a hiking trail area so the deer I guess aren't scared of people and they would cut across the trail just a few yards in front of me.
Here are some turkeys from the same park too

If I lived in this shithole I sure wouldn't want to be reminded of it when I'm inside my house as well.
Your photos don't add any particular flavour or perspective, it's just straight up scenes from the footpath at huemonkey head-height in flat afternoon light, with no colour.

I'm thinking of basing a new kit around pic rel. The Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 and the 50-100mm f/1.8. It comes in pretty much every DSLR mount. EF, F, SA, and even K mount. Are there any interesting apsc cameras I could pair these with? The obvious choice is the Sigma SD Quattro, but some other things that come to mind are the K10D and d200, being CCD cameras. The Canon 90D, as it's the highest resolution body that I think will fit these lenses. Anything else I should consider?

>>4418253 I didn't assume you did, I'm saying the differences are very subtle. Old cameras are fun and quirky though, nothing wrong with having fun with them.
Anonymous
>>4418254 the point is, I WANT to use these specific lenses. I've always wanted them and now I have the money to get a set I want a fun body to pair them with. K3iii monochrome might be a good one now that I think about it.

>>4418256 nvm, apparently only the 18-35 exists on k mount they never made the 50-100. So scratch off pentax

okay. hear me out. What if these lenses + speedbooster + E-M1 mkii? It would have a light gathering aperture of 1.2, plus it would look REALLY stupid
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>4418257 Stick to F Mount. If you're spending real money on those lenses you want something that has actual options for cameras. F Mount spans from a $40 D40 to a $1500 D850. And the D200 is probably the best CCD camera other than the Olympus E300/400/500 which has a dead mount. It has the most consistent and truest colors, great metering, and the bodies are cheap and everywhere (lenses not so much).
K mount I dislike because Pentax cameras suck vs Nikon, and the K10D in particular has back focus issues that aren't resolvable due to age (the plastic in the mirror mounts iirc won't hold alignment). And I shoot Pentax.

I likely keep using 2nd hand Canon crop dslrs until old age dementia ends my run. New cameras and lenses are shinier but the hobbyist shit I already have is good enough. The limiting factor is myself.

>>4418137 One of the shill posts, raw on the left and edited on the right. They worked, I'd honestly be happy with the right. Maybe hit it with the vivid setting in camera and the jpeg would look better.
Olympus glass is pretty damn good too. These lenses have the same motor as Nikon SWM so they focus quick and accurately for the 3 AF points (again, do we REALLY need more?). Its a step above the Minolta/Pentax 80s Screw Drive shit I own most of the time, like giving someone with Pentium 4 Gateway desktop a new Ryzen gaming computer

>>4411122 I saw this excellent film back when it was released. Never thinking that I'd end up as lonely as Sy; minus the stalking, the job, and the child abuse. I even became a snapshitter over 15 years later, once phonefagging was possible and I could afford one. Robin was brilliant, and it's a shame that the director Mark Romanek would only direct one more film, and did not make a bunch of kino in the decades since.
