I'm looking for a DSLR with an audio input microphone with a wide angle lens or ability to get a wide angle lens.

I'm looking at the price being under $450 refurbished models are ok.

I want to record in 1080p and be able to attach my Rode microphone to it so audio quality is not important just great video with auto focus that isnt' super slow.

I do some lower light shots so i'd like something that will handle low light performance.

Is there anything that comes close to this? Doesn't have to be dslr if the camer has a decent enough microphone or if there is a way I can record quality audio on a separate device

Maybe look into old Sony A7
Fullframe and some (like the s-series) start at 600 bucks)
Fullframe is expensive
Otherwise, the Canon EOS ones are your best shot. Sony alpha6000 sometimes start at 500$ used.

The further down sensor you go, the harder it will be to get wide angle and have decent low-light performance.

For audio: get a Audio recorder. ZoomH1 or ASCAM DR-5 start at 70 bucks used. They have rather good recording on their own microphones. Plugin a decent 3,5mm microphone and they are good enough for almost anything except professional studio work.

Let me correct that!

If you really want Full frame, maybe look into old Sony A7. It's fullframe and some (like the s-series) start at 600 bucks. Generally speaking, fullframe is expensive

Otherwise, the Canon EOS ones are your best shot. The Sony alpha6000 sometimes start at 500$ used. It also has good video capabilities.

The further down sensor you go, the harder it will be to get wide angle and have decent low-light performance.

>Because better everything else in terms of video. better video options, better ergonomics, better accessoires, Headphone jacks, video noise performance, etc.
Stabilization can be done "per hand" as in "just hold it still you fucking noob". Also, Panasonic is starting to introduce stabilized sensors, i think the GX85 has one.
>The EP5 can "only" do 30fps in Full HD, so no 60fps or 4k for you. But good enough for most stuff.

I forgot that I probably would be using a headphone jack. If I ever buy the EP5 how can I go about it not having a headphone jack?

>>How badly do they perform in low light?
>With a normal 3.5 aperture, get ready for mosaic-orgies and noise-a-paloozas above 1600 ISO. Although that also depends on the system and camera.
>But problem solved by getting an old 1.8 or 1.4 lens for cheap and adapt it. Listen to the adapter-meme. It's true.

I have an old Nikkor AI 50mm f1.4 and OM 50mm f1.8. Will they be enough for low light on an EP5? The problem is I thing they are too telephoto for indoor use. I think a 24mm f2 lens will be too much for my budget.

>I dunno much about the camera in specific.
I know it has lots of support because it's been around for quite some time now (in digital camera terms).
>Also, 300$ seems to be a good price if it's not banged up too bad.

Yeah I think it's a good price that's why I am considering it. Only 8000+ actuations.

Use an audio recorder for sound.

1.4 or 1.8 will be decent enough in low light. Not stellar, but if you get a fill light in some distance to your subjects you won't notice they are illuminated artificially. Streetlanterns will be enough.

Does that mean I will buy a separate audio recorder for sound? How can it properly synchronize with my video? Is it an audio recorder that clips on the hotshoe of the ep5?

Ok I think the built in flash will be enough and for video, will a small video light that attaches on the hotshoe would suffice as well.

With that I hope the 5 axis image stabilization will compensate for my shaky hands.

Seriously it will be like a 100mm lens on FF format. Good luck vlogging on your room unless you have a bedroom that is bigger than the ordinary living room+kitchen.

I don't understand why micro four turds is still being recommended. It's a dying meme. When you factor in the cost of its lenses it probably cost more than an APS-C or FF for video. Not to mention it has a high crop value as I said. Good luck looking for wide angle lenses for it. Old manual ultrawide prime lenses are also hard and costly if found (less than 17mm focal length). Also, using an f/1.4 lens on a turd will turn it into a f/2.8. Zero shallow depth of field and you won't get the "film look" that the bigger sensor cameras have (APS-C or FF).

A Fuji XT-10 is better than any olympus turd for video. Not to mention it has a mic jack.

Back in 2012 everyone on /p/ thought that this camera will end the DSLR and the second coming of man was at hand. But after all this years all the mfturds accomplished was paving the way for the aps-c and ff mirrorless and shitty noise at high iso and low light.

No professional ever used a mfturd. Only those paid ones.

I'm selling my current camera and all of its lenses, so I am essentially starting over from scratch. I am looking for a full-frame camera that can shoot 1080p@60fps.

I've been looking at the Nikon D750 and D810. I've only ever used Canon, so I don't know anything about the difference between the two. Has anyone here used either of these two cameras? Anything I should keep in mind when deciding? Any other full-frame 1080p@60fps cameras I should consider?

Also, I'm a huge fan of Magic Lantern on Canon cameras. Is there anything similar for Nikon? Is it better / worse than ML?

Hello fellow MFT-haters. I too like big sensors. Pic related, it's my camera, which I have taken with my Backup camera, an Alpha Phase one.
I don't know how anyone can shoot on such tiny sensors with such tiny cameras. I mean, what's the point of having a camera if you just gonna run around like a caffeinated hamster and take pictures of everything rather than set your camera up for at least five minutes for the one, perfect shot?
I was recently thinking about jumping to photoplates as well, that way you can really see the finest details, like the grains of sand on the butt of a spider sitting in the flower behind the subject.
Also laughable is how they use lenses meant for other systems. These degenerates just slap FD lenses on their silly adaptable mounts. Lens-systems are meant to kept separate and pure.
But you know what the biggest joke is? All these so called "professionals" using MFT cameras. They think they can make money with that? Sure, they can live off their YT channels and have lots of fun doing their work with cheap cameras, but can they actually live with themselves when they zoom in on their RAW files of contrast charts and see that the lines are blurred by 2px?
I hope they all hang themselves and the entire MFT market collapses. These kinds of people should not be allowed in our hobby!

Sony has done surprisingly well with their mirrorless cameras. Finally got themselves a decent foothold in the industry.

Fuji is making some decent cameras too, even though they are only APS-C.

Speaking of, Olympus recently filled patents for some new mirrorless FF lenses. I wonder if they are starting heir own mount, or will be continuing their partnership with Sony?

Neat camera, a little outdated on hardware as far as state of the art goes. Depends how much money you want to save. Buy a LX100 now for fire sale prices, buy a GX85 and get nearly the same size but with interchangeable lenses and other features, or wait to see what the LX200 brings.

Like the GX85's IBIs? 5 axis like the Oly bodies, only good for about 4 stops, but that's plenty. Also the advantage of good video quality, dual IS, and coming with a good, small, mechanical zoom kit lens for less money than a EM5II.

The thing is that to buy XE-7 I would have to import it from abroad (additional cost) and XD-7's sometimes pop up in my country.

Nice camera, not good for video since it has a serious sensor problem (it melts!). Buy an used on might safe you a few bucks, but, if you have more to spend, jump to the 80d

60d is also a nice choice if you want to save money and you'd get a very similar camera.

You could look at the other Fuji models. I hear great things about the X-T10. It is cheaper too. Though you have the same lens issues.

Sony is the only other company that makes a decent APS-C mirrorless. a6000 is around $850 with the kit. a6300 is $1200.

Though for €1000 you could probably get a full frame A7. But fullframe Sony lenses cost a fortune, though most are worth it. They are pumping out lenses though. Something like 7 new designs released so far in 2016.

Ok I will. Actually my other problem is it's tough to find a cheap UWA lens for for MFT sice the crop factor is x2.

I really want to get a MFT or four thirds camera for years now (even back when the olympus four thirds was released). It only became reasonable to buy one recently because it has become cheap.

It's literally a D7000, not even a D71/200, with a full frame sensor. Autofocus, buffer, build, controls. Is the sensor good? Yes. Does it blow the socks off the D7000? A little bit, but not terribly so. Will you notice a difference? Only if you shoot lots of portraiture and night-time land scape.

Do you like the D7000 in every way except the sensor? Consider it. Personally, I'd get a D7100 for the autofocus/sensor, and just be careful not to push more than 4EV in post. The difference in price after selling the D7000 for a used D7100 would be a couple hundred dollars, tops.

The 12-24 is reportedly good from 16-24. Pretty good deal to use that.

A single-generation upgrade is practically nothing. Your D7000 is fine, a D7100 is just going to be a tiny incremental upgrade. A D600 is just going to be a moderate incremental upgrade (and personally I'd still pick a D700 over a D600 anyway or would save up for a D750/D800 over a D600). What problem exactly are you even trying to solve by upgrading? In what way is the D7000 not capable of doing what you want?

I'm sure this is gear related, since I can't get my gear to work the way I want it to. But it's about software.

Question: third party software for controlling a Canon Rebel t2i on a Windows computer? Canon software comes (came? I bought my camera years ago) in the form of a physical "EOS Digital Solution disk" which I can't use with a windows 10 tablet. I'd like to do astrophotography again from my tablet, but Canon has made retrieving the software from their support website impossible, at least for me - when I enter my serial number on the website to download the software, it says the software isn't available for my camera.

Any ways around this?

Go to canon.com and find the software for download.

It's called Canon EOS Suite and I use it a lot for astrophotography (doping in focus just short of inifity) and remote shooting.

Also handy for studio shooting for Wifi and instant big screen previews.

Also getting the Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 VC USD in the next couple of weeks. I did just get the 12-24mm, 17-40mm f/4L and the 70-200mm f/2.8 VC USD in the space of a week so I've got to slow down my spending.

Also keeping all my lenses since I've found niches for them;
12-24mm - Nightclub and landscapes
24-70mm - General functions/street photography
70-200mm - big functions/portraiture
50mm - Bokehwhoring
17-40mm - Street photography

The Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 VC USD might replace the Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM but I might keep it as a spare or backup lens.

Centre frame sharpness is crisp at f/2.8 especially at 70mm, just a tad softer at 200mm.

f/4 makes it a fair bit sharper but f/5.6 is razor sharp, no matter the focal lenght.

Usually shoot at f/2.8 though so I can suppress ISO and shoot with a faster shutter speed.

Ah the VC version is superior in every way to the older 70-200mm f/2.8.

Had a chance to compare the two side-by-side I had about 5× more keepers compared to the old one at f/2.8. Closing them both down to f/4 or f/5.6 would make things more equal but definitely at f/2.8 the VC version is a much better lens.

The VC also helps a shit ton for handheld shooting beyond 100mm. Can bring at shutter down and still get decent images.

The original EF 35mm f/2 is cheap as chips, probably can get it for $150 or so, the IS USM is about $500. Both a okay, but too "soft" for my liking.

The original f/1.4L USM has too many optical issues especially compared to the MK II, ART and VC USD lenses. Also still priced at around $1,000 or so.

So to me, it's only really out of >>2892990. Just a question whether the MK II is worth the premium or not...

Hai, i found body fuji x-t10 for 500$ and i'm thinking about buying it as my first camera. I want to take photos mostly of nature like clouds and shit, also astrophotography with wider fields, later i'll buy tracking mount but it's later. For now i'm thinking about all around lens fixed i guess. I know that sigma 12mm f/2 is pretty good, but it's pretty wide, so i wonder if i should buy something else? I don't really care about af and other fancy stuff. What should i consider for this body?

I got an Oly E-PL7 /p/.

What lens is better to adapt on it? I have a nikkor ai 1.4 and an oly om mount 1.8 both 50mm.

I think the pros for the nikkor is that it has a higher aperture and the lens are sharper? Also compatible with Nikon dslrs. The problem is if I were to buy more ai lenses in the future, it is costlier than the cheaper om glass and it is bigger.

The OM lenses are smaller and are I think cheaper than AI lenses.

What do you think? What adapters should I buy? Are ordinary chinese made cheap ones ok to use? Or should I invest on a mount and buy a mount that can turn them into autofocus lenses if there is one?

Did I fuck up with this purchase?

I impulse bought a Canon EOS Rebel T6 on eBay for $400 bundled with a Case and 48GB SD Card. The stock lense it comes with is the 18-55mm.

After buying it I read some reviews and watch some youtube videos and realized it has an old sensor in it and only 18 MP and I should of bought the Nikon D3300 instead because it has a better sensor?

All I wanted was a camera that was better than my smartphone camera that could also transfer files wirelessly. The T6 had that so I went with it. However, should I return it and get the Nikon?

How big do you want it? You want 6x6 like your Holga or some other format? Do you want to be tied down to a tripod a lot or do you want something a little more handholdable?

Rangefinders are meant to be handheld, in my opinion. If you want an SLR with a prism then that's going to be heavier and more likely to be on a tripod. Rangefinder vs SLR is a pretty major difference in shooting style and system size and weight, which one exactly do you want? Also, many medium format SLRs are commonly used with waistlevel finders instead of prisms because the prisms tend to be big and heavy, are you sure you want a prism or would you be ok with a WLF?

6X6 or 6X7 is ideal, 6X4.5 could work too. I would prefer to be without a tripod. I usually shoot street scenes, some portraits, and a few landscapes (but without changing lenses for large landscapes).

I like the Mamiya 6 or 7 but I'm concerned that the final composition will be different from what I see through the view finder. (They're also more expensive cameras, but thats part of the issue with going MF)

WLF would be fine, so long as I don't need to lug around a tripod for each shot.

Are light meters common in these cameras or should I expect to be using my phone or a handheld?

They're usually unmetered, I use my phone or my GR as a meter. With some systems like my Bronica SQ you can get an optional metered prism but those are expensive and bulky and even then they just give you metered manual with a spot meter, not autoexposure.

I like my SQ (6x6) a lot, Bronica also has the GS-1 and ETRS which are similar but for 6x7 and 645 so you could get a Bronica for any format you want and they're cheap reliable sturdy cameras with pretty decent lenses. The Hasselblad V system is beautiful and iconic and 6x6, but way more expensive than the SQ. Pentax 67 is good too, or 645 if you want something modern with AF and autoexposure and everything. Fuji also made a lot of excellent rangefinders in various formats.

Don't be too concerned about getting the very best lenses and stuff with medium format. Sure the Hasselblad Zeiss lenses are amazing and probably blow the fuck out of most everything else, but it doesn't even matter because the film is so big that you can get good high quality scans or large enlargements anyway. Pretty much the only 120 cameras that aren't sharp are the Holga and some Soviet garbage.

Sony hasn't really offered anything spectacular in terms of photography, their video full frame bodies are mint but that's really expensive stuff.

Get a prime lens like a 35mm (for crop frame) and enjoy the increased sharpness. Maybe jump into a t5i or a t6 if you want a new body.

a6000 is a pretty solid camera. The small size is both a minus and a plus. Nice because it is easy to carry around, a pain because controls are somewhat worse. You really can't go wrong with the a6000 though. But since you already have a Canon, I'd recomend looking at the a6300 so you can adapt Canon lenses with fast autofocus though.

Speaking of your 450D,you should use it some more before you decide on something.

Everything struggles with that. But a modern camera would be CONSIDERABLY better than the 450D. That thing is from what? 2008? That is 8 years of advancing sensor design.

You could try a flash depending on where/what you are shooting.

>and that its a pain to carry around day-to-day.

Then you will want mirrorless.

Look at Sony and Fuji mirrorless cameras then. Avoid micro four thirds, their sensors are too small and have shit low light performance.

I personally prefer Sony, but Fuji is well liked by many and not a bad choice either.

You will se a lot of diffraction at pixel level, reducing your useful aperture range to 24MP APS-C level, so f/11-f/16 tops. You will also see noise creeping in just like on the aforementioned crop sensors due to same pixel pitch.
It is mostly a landscape and studio/product photo camera so you'll want to use it near ISO 100. Other than that it is a nice and usable camera, you just have to work with the limitations.

go for the 70-200mm. Wide angle will not be useful for wildlife, and the telezoom can be used for landscape.

See >>2891992 I find the EF 17-40mm f/4L USM a very useful lens going from UWA to normal FOV. Slightly tighter with crop bodies though.

BUT 70-200mm on crop bodies is pure tele, so you'll be very limited in your ability to take dramatic, wide shots up close. Not impossible but you'll be stepping back several hundred feet to get similar framing as the 17-40mm.

If you don't have a UWA to normal zoom, go with the 17-40mm, and definitely this would be a priority lens out of the two as it's much more versatile.

Only go for the 70-200mm if you don't have a telephoto zoom lens.

PS; f/4 with no optical stabilization will be a struggle. Go with the IS version, or better yet, f/2.8 WITH optical stabilization (Tamron VC or Canon IS).

Right now I'm looking at getting one of these.

Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM. A lityle qt3.14 of a lens with decent optical performance. Wouldn't recommend the 50mm f/1.8 STM yet because it's equivalent to an 81mm FOV which is crazy tight for street shooting.

Hell, even 50mm on fool frame is too tight for me.

Go to a store and demo it. Other option is the original EF 35mm f/2, but those are now far behind modern optic performance as well as loud, screechy things with the outdated AF motor.

Still think 24mm on crop is a more suitable street photography focal length though.

E-mount is at a weird place now.

Their APS-C ecosystem is pretty awesome. Well rounded and affordable.

Their fullframe is limited and stupid expensive though. Pretty much pro lenses only.

On the plus side, their newer bodies can adapt Canon EF lenses with pretty fast autofocus....if you buy a ridiculously priced $400 adapter.

I actually like Sony's cameras quite a bit, but I'd say just go with Canon. They are solid cameras, with a very mature ecosystem. A DSLR still outperforms a mirrorless when it comes to autofocus speed too.

What do you reckon has happened here, has the condensation fucked up the sensor or something?

Never had any problem with my Pentax in heavy rain. Sounds like fogging on the metering sensor. Probably insufficient sealing, perhaps the lens was not sealed.
Try putting it in a drybox without any covers, any sealable plastic container and a ceresit or similar desiccant, wait for a day or two and try again. Do the same with the lens.

D810 is good for huge prints and landscape-style things, D750 is really nice for low-light.

Both are FF, the 810 is 36mp and the 750 is 24mp

There's not really such a thing as magic lantern for Nikon, sadly. The D750 does have highlight display built in, though, along with other nice things for recording use.

If you must have a ML-style thing I'd check out http://nikonhacker.com/, they might be able to help you.

Because DSLR, there's a 30 minute recording limit so you don't have to pay extra tax on it as a camcorder (Retarded, I know). That can only be gotten around with an external recorder or firmware hack.

The D500 isn't full frame, but worth looking at for its 2160p30 video.

Some people say you need at least 400mm but that seems like a bit of overkill. Would I really be screwing myself with a 70-200mm f/2.8 and getting an extender later on if I need it rather than just getting a 100-400 or something like that?

I have a Tamron 70-300 f/4-5.6 VC that's relatively new. Yesterday it struggled to auto-focus at all on my D3300, searching up and down way past the ideal mark. I tested it on a D500 as well and while a little better still struggle to find focus in less than ideal conditions.

However today it is auto-focusing fine, even zoomed in on close/dark objects on all sorts of different settings.

Is there any reason why this might happen or am I just being retarded?

Thank you for reasonable reply will look into strap solution.

I want to make my current backpack work. Have too many bags already.
Problem is it's kinda flimsy for cams hence lens pouches

Good on lenses you think?
Will probably buy them then.
Also going to get:
-Few covers/filters (UV and polarize mostly everything else obsolete IMO w/ postprocess)
-More lens wipes
-Lens pouches I guess
-Adapter ring for extant lens from mom's old SLR. (Sigma 35-70mm lens)
I assume that was the "kit lens" for hers because she said she didn't have any other lenses

I can do this because I was going to spent +$50 more on Canon 75-300 but did reading and Sigma APO is better lens and cheaper

GM5 sells itself on size. That's nearly EM10 II money, or EM10 or EM5. Ask yourself how small you want to go. A GM5 with the 20mm is a svelte combination though.

A D70 is a perfectly good camera though. Maybe buy a D7000 used if you feel the body's too dated, but you like DSLR controls.

>>2894821
Depends what kind of wildlife, but the rule of thumb is that you never really have enough. That being said, a 70-200 is only good for being up close when the bear is about to maul you. A 70-300 on crop is getting there. A 100-400 is nice. 200-500 or 150-600 is even better. It just keeps going up. Birds need long focal lengths because they're tiny, animals need the same because they're skittish (or you are, in the case of bears).

For mere mortals, get a 70-300 and make do. A 70-200/2.8+2xTC gives you a lot of flexibility (low light, or 400/5.6), but at the expense of image quality for the same price (compared to AF-S 80-400/100-400L). They're "sharp enough" instead of "very sharp". Ask yourself what you value more.

>>2894912
You could be retarded. Check the lens contacts for cleanliness.

Is there any settings I should turn on/off on the Sony a6000? Something that would boost picture quality. I noticed on most photos, even on the focused areas, it tends to get smudgy. It could be me though.

Yes, jpegs.

While Sony has some of the best
sensors on the market, their jpeg processing is....sub-par to say the least.

Shoot raw and process them yourself for better results.

The 16-50 kit lens isn't all the sharp either. It is a "good enough" lens. Doesn't excel or fail in any area, but it is small and "good enough" for most shots.

Thanks for the advice so far. I think I will use my D70. Learn the ins and outs of the camera before upgrading in the future.

The only lens I have currently is the af-s nikkor 18-70mm 1.35 4.5g ED, which I believe is the kit lens. Do you recommend I get another lens or will this one suffice for now. I mainly like shooting landscapes.

So a while ago, I made the decision to buy a Canon EOS 1D Mark III, I had a Nikon D200 before buying it and was getting sick of it.

The seller of the 1D said the camera was far too complex for him (He's a surf photographer), how ever I found it very easy to adapt to the camera and learn things about it.

Anyway that being irrelevant, I'm considering swapping it out for a 5D due to it not having a video function. I'm planning to do videos for the gym I go to (Currently do some photography for the coaches) and Automotive videos.

Is it worth swapping out for a 5D, obviously I'll have to spend some more money to get the camera, or should I just get a cheap 550D? (I've used the 5D before but no the 550)

And Also, what are peoples thoughts on Tamron lenses? Looking at getting an AF 28-300mm f/3.5

Any of the rectilinear UWA zooms are going to be good;
17-40mm f/4L $500~
16-35mm f/4L IS USM $1,000~
16-35mm f/2.8L USM $1,500~

But consider the Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 VC USD ($1,000) as well as the Tokina 16-28mm f/2.8 ATX Pro ($600) as both are awesome third party solutions.

I have the 17-40mm f/4L USM myself but only using it as a back up lens as I have other lenses that cover it's focal range >>2891992

But do remember that these lenses will be much "longer" with a cropbabby sensor.

both have great ergonomics for such tiny cameras, my only complaint would be that the viewfinders are small but what are you gonna do

these cameras fit all your requirements minus the push pull thing, you should look into dx code manipulation, thats how i push tri x in my espio

also please dont pay more than $60 for either of these cameras, check thrift stores before you go on ebay

Just get a genuine flash mang. Manual shooting is tolerable, but having iTTL/ETTL, wireless control and syncronization amongst all your flashes is awesome. No need to fiddle around with individual settings when you can all control them via your camera.

YN560 is their series of manual flashes. The current model is the IV, and has a transmitter built in that's compatible with their 620 (I think) series transmitters. YN 565/568 are their TTL flashes.

If you're not going to buy a LM160 like the Strobist recommends, the YN560s are perfectly good flashes. Cheap, capable, reasonably reliable. I'd buy an army of YN560s, and keep a cheap TTL flash (EX430/SB600/YN568) as my run and gunner.

Let it be known that although it's awesome to get a 28-300mm lens is very flexible, it's probably fairly cheaply made...at least in comparison to higher end lens.
Secondly, 28-300mm.....3.5 to 6.3 aperature...meaning anything above 28mm focal length will usually jump to 6.3 aperature. You will suffer clarity issues usually with this, maybe not on a bright day
The reason why higher end glass is usually so fucking expensive is because to get a good quality definition picture at 300mm you physically need bigger glass. You can work around it with these smaller lens' but you'll never get the same results.

Used Nikon Speedlight. SB-24 is great because it shows you the reach of whatever power/zoom/ISO/aperture combo you have dialed in with an LCD bar graph.
If you must go new and chinese, I say DEFINITELY go Li-Ion batteries. They are so much faster it's not funny.
Mine is a Godox Ving V860 (I think) and it's great. It will run full power pops at 2 second intervals until the casing melts, if you want.
I'm not sure if they have a TTL model yet.
