I'm looking into buying a new camera but the places Ive looked have limited selection/filters to choose from.
I've done some research and kinda know what I want/dont want in my camera.
Mainly I want a camera with good still image perfomance and NO gps/wifi/bluetooth. 9/10 of the really nice cameras Ive looked at had those connectivity options built in which I am strongly against.
I'm indifferent to audio and video recording and other features like built in flash, articulating screen etc.
I just want it to have the following:
>DSLR
>optical viewfinder
>either full frame or APS-C
>no less than 24mp

your connectivity request is unreasonable, specially if buying new
just turn the stuff off or buy used

I only use a T2i. I haven't gotten a new camera since then.

Those are both decent and fairly priced options. I was considering the Nikon D610. It costs a bit more but it seems somewhat newer.

Most of the cameras are not hardwired into no botnet, but it's very typical for a camera to be able to create a wifi network for your phone to connect to, so that you can transfer photos.

It just seems like an unecessary security risk. SD cards and USB cables work just fine imo. wifi/bluetooth seems like uxtra shit that city dwelling yuppies use purely for convenience.

You can turn on airplane mode on most cameras and it will turn all that shit off. I've never used those features once and I felt turning them off would save battery.

unless you are trying to make CP content with that camera i really don't see why you need to be paranoid about these connectivity options, the only true air gapped camera is film.
Hackers can still access your camera wirelessly even if you don't have wifi or Bluetooth built-in.

Physical access to a device is entirely different from remote malicious connections. How would they connect to something that has no wireless connections otherwise?
It has nothing to do with pizza, Id just like to be able to completely disconnect and disappear into the woods without the sunconscious suggestion that Im being tracked like a tagged animal.
If youve payed attention to anything the likes of snowden or others have revealed im recent history then maybe youd be a little more understanding of why I dont want unecessary "features" that I'll never use being permanently built in using up power.

As with most botnet devices these days "turning it off" doesnt actually turn it off.

Your requirements fall more in line with a spook who is told he can't bring connected stuff into a facility than anything. There's not much leak risk and worst case scenario you could disassemble the thing and remove the BT module.

Are there any tutorials? All that comes up when searching that is just spy cams and drones, nothing about actual photography cameras.

It was between that and the D800. The latter has 36mp as opposed to the 610s 24mp, which seems like a clear advantage imo.

>>4118327
Perhaps, but if Im going to drop a wad of cash on a new model camera Id rather not fuck it up and void the warranty in one go.

I dont think thats really equivalent to willingly walking into a slaughterhouse.
You know the phrase "dangerous freedom is preferable to peaceful slavery"?
Why do you think theres been such a push for all this inter-connectedness? Cameras on every street corner, 5G coverage in every home, wifi and bluetooth toasters and fridges?
Even if we assume that it isnt explicitly being used to monitor our every move (it is) why would I wanted to constantly be blasted by low level radiation?

Dropped.
If anything, wanting to remote control your camera is more sussy than not wanting any connectivity at all.

Buying the cheap, practical standard item is for a small pp, and buying the new expensive super fast one that's all over youtube is for a big pp? So someone driving a minivan has a small pp and someone riding a race motorcycle or driving a little sportscar has a big pp? Is that what you're saying?

Remember you already have a portable camera that just captures the memories with enough detail for 8x10 prints on your *phone*, anon. Really big pp would just use that unless they set out with the goal of getting giant photos to put on their wall or doing some funky photoshop shit.
