>>3057209Okay, thanks for the advice. I'll look into a Sony... out of curiosity, though, is the 700D I have aimed more at pros who know what they are doing or is it just old and lacking features?
I got my 700D years ago for filming work. I chose it purely because of it's video capabilities and now I'm just kinda running with it. I've since moved on to over-the-shoulder units which end up being worked by my business partner who is far more skilled at these things.
Focus peaking sounds awesome and I do look like a complete retard staring at the screen, but it seems to be the only way my amateur ass can get the shot. I can tell there's still a lot of learning to do for me! Right now, I take most pictures by selecting the lowest F stop and adjusting the shutter speed. I generally like the freeze-frame, low dof shots, but I can swap it up if I need to. I'm just slow at it.
Pic related, another one from Vietnam. Taken with a slightly better lens than the previous.
