Today I was testing my new camera and took two pictures in program mode with different EV compensation.

======== PEF/IMGP0185.PEF
FNumber : 4.5
ShutterSpeed : 1/90
ISO : 140
ExposureCompensation : -0.5
======== PEF/IMGP0187.PEF
FNumber : 4.5
ShutterSpeed : 1/90
ISO : 400
ExposureCompensation : +1.0

After pixel peeping I noticed the 140 ISO photo turned out much noisier than the 400 one. Is this normal?

Why is there no sticky with info? I'm scared.
I'd like to buy one for video but also photo, something for low light kino, I'd also like to but a comfy diffusion filter on top. Other than that I don't know much about cameras, I've maxed out my phone camera capabilities, so now I'd like more.

Right now I'm being memed into the X100V, found one for 1.6k

Nikon Z5 + 40mm f2. It's a much better camera than the painfully aging X100v especially for low light kino.

The A7R III is also an unusually good low light camera for 42mp, especially if you resize to 24mp in the end, but its weather sealing is as poor as fujis always has been.

>Why is it much better
Superior sensor technology
Superior sensor size
Superior EVF
Superior autofocus, even though it's not as good as sony's
Superior video specs even for being the "worst" nikon
IBIS, so you can take longer exposures without a tripod and any lens (the fuji has none)
More ergonomic controls (two wheels for 1/2 or 1/3 stop adjustments, no bullshit with redundant fake analog dials for whole stops and normal dials for partial stops)
More ergonomic period
Can switch lenses if 40mm isn't your think. Nikon also makes a 26mm pancake and shitloads of other stuff.
Can take the lens off to blow dust off the sensor

Remember in low light your phone probably does exposure stacking, that's harder on "real" cameras because the people who buy most of them want to take more control into their own hands, so at least having IBIS and a more ergonomic body that can be controlled without shifting your hands around so much will help you a lot. So will full frame and therefore access to much faster lenses like f1.4 AF-S primes, which are cheap and plentiful once you save up and get an FTZ II adapter.

The x100v's lens is also a ~35mm f3 equivalent, now and forever, you can't just change it, you can only add more lenses in front of it that lower quality and sap light even more.

It's for the kind of upper class white kid who has a psychological need to buy limited stuff to stop them from going funko pop crazy. You know, the kind of bored 0 impulse control sheltered fuckwit who, if given an ILC, will quickly have 10+ lenses for it.

Sometimes fractional ISOs are worse than whole ISOs, but they're usually only wore than the next whole ISO. I'm not sure wtf is going on that ISO 140 would be worse than ISO 400. Perhaps built in NR that kicks in at 400?

Best low light FF sensor right now is the R6. Not the R6 mark II...though it's also good...the original R6. Better low light sensor than an A7S III + industry best IBIS. Fucker can shoot hand held under a bright moon with no artificial lights or flash. Stills and video all the way to 4k60 since there's no line skipping or crop at 60 fps. On a telescope it's like having a dedicated astro camera.

Canon had a June sale with the original R6 refurbished priced at $1,300. I would wait to see if they do that again for Black Friday.
>but muh refurbished!
Full USA warranty and they're perfect. Canon doesn't want them back again, if anything needed repair it's repaired.

Fuji crop is not terrible for low light. But any modern FF will be better. Likewise IBIS > no IBIS. I stand by my recommendation of R6 if you can afford it, Z5 if you need something a little cheaper. For low light you want FF + IBIS.

The R6 is also genuinely big. Just over the line. Canon's business strategy thus far has to been to cater to established professional DSLR users rather than trying anything new, because they are the ones buying brand new gear and CPS subscriptions, so the cameras have the same size and ergos as DSLRs which is very comfy if you are an NFL photographer who handholds a 24-70 and 100-400/70-200 and 200-600 all day long, or a press photographer who's never without a speedlight and 24-70, and will be using the exact kit on mirrorless with an EF adapter. Not so much if you're walking around with one average prime. Then it's like using a jitterbug over an iphone for "the ergonomics".

Z and a7 cameras are much smaller to walk around with and shoot less extreme (ie: not highly corrected f1.4/f1.2) primes.

>>4241316

You shouldn't think like this - because no one else cares. If anything the more 3 piece suit looking cameras are nice because people will actually listen to you if you want them to do something. Fuck those thrift store hoodie cameras.

I think your view on this is.. catastrophically ..detached from mine. I don't want peopel to listen to me, I don't want to shoot people, I don't want to be noticed, I don't want to post images on social media or something or be a professional.

It's roughly the same size as the Z5. A couple mm's shorter, a couple mm's wider, with a deeper grip.

Here's the R6 vs the 5D mark IV. The R6 (and Z5) are clearly smaller than DSLRs.

>Z and a7 cameras are much smaller
And here's the R6 and A7 IV. Again they are roughly the same size.

You're saying you want low light, then saying you don't want FF or IBIS, the two most important factors in low light capability. And you're "being memed into" a fixed lens camera with a lens that is equivalent to a FF f/2.8 lens. In other words: not a low light camera.

First: if you desperately want to go Fuji then go with an interchangeable lens Fuji like an X-T3 or X-T4. Don't spend $1,400 (new @ B&H) on a fixed lens camera because it literally is a meme.

Second: if you really want low light performance, go with one of the FF IBIS systems being recommended. They are being recommended to you for a reason.

I think you made an ignorant comment about R6 size vs Z5 and A7, and rather than concede the comment was ignorant you ran to the A7c...which is NOT a typical A7 body...to try and save face.

That A7c quickly becomes a pain in the ass when you attach any lens other than a pancake because while the body might be small for FF, the lenses are NOT small so the whole setup becomes a pain to hold. So if size is your main concern just go with an aps-c system.

Oh, and that brings me back to another dumb thing you said:
>and shoot less extreme (ie: not highly corrected f1.4/f1.2) primes.
Nikon/Sony lenses are roughly the same size, including their fast primes. If you want FF but want to shave size/weight shoot a pancake or a 3rd party manual focus prime. The IQ won't be as good into the midframe/corners, but the older optical formula results in a smaller lens.

aps-c with a f/2 (f/2.8 FF equiv) lens can handle brightly lit urban areas at night. FF with IBIS and a f/1.4 prime can handle dimly lit urban/suburban areas all the way down to moonlight for some bodies (R6; A7S III).

>What the problem with it being a fixed lens, I don't see much use for other kinds of lenses, maybe I'm being naive but what other lens could I possibly need?
That focal length (on aps-c) is good for street. And maybe that's all you're interested in. But if you get into other subject areas you're going to want other lenses. With the x100v you're paying $1,400 to never be able to change the lens. What if you decide you need a little more low light capability? You cannot attach an f/1.4 or f/1.0 lens, or a stabilized lens.

That lens is also not the sharpest off center, nor is that sensor the best in low light. It's behind the aps-c sensors in other bodies. Heck...it looks worse than an EOS M5 (2016) at high ISO, and the EOS M5 + 22mm f/2 is a heck of a lot cheaper on eBay (<$500) with a sharper lens (but no 4k if you want video). I'm not saying to go with an EOS M5...EF-M is being replaced by RF...I'm just making the point that the x100v does not have the best performance. There's a reason people here are telling you that it's a meme.

If you think aps-c can cover your low light needs and you're worried about size, go with a modern compact aps-c body and lens. Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji...just don't get a fixed lens meme camera. If you like the look of Fuji bodies or like Fuji color science the X-T3 or X-T4 would be a far, far better choice.

picrel illustrates how bad the lens is off center.

Coping people will tell you weather sealing is overrated since nobody is leaving their gear out in the rain for extended periods of time. This is true to some extent, but I wouldn't ever want to be in a situation where I miss a shot out of fear of damaging the camera, it's just something I don't want to have to think about. Rain won't instantly make your camera explode but you will be worrying about it much more. If this isn't a concern, get the Fuji.

It's actually a studio scene and what better way would you suggest to show that he's thinking of spending $1,400 on a fixed lens camera with subpar high ISO and a relatively soft lens? Sometimes you need to SHOW someone what they're about to put their money on and why you think it's a poor choice for the price.

It is a toy. It's an absolutely lovely toy, best for someone that loves the 35mm, and doesn't always want to bring their big cameras everywhere. It's very fun to shoot with. If they made it in a 28mm I'd still have one. Now I have a GR for those moments. I would not recommend it for a beginner.

He said he wants high ISO. He should know the x100v is worse than other aps-c cameras at high ISO. I would agree that x100v users typically don't care about this shit because again, it's a meme camera. "muh look muh rangefinder experience".

>You missed the point. He doesn't care about that. He wants to take nice pics on auto and have a film sim jpeg by default.
He wants low light performance. If he wants low light + nice pics on auto + film sim jpeg he should get a regular Fuji body. Why do you think I suggested an X-T3 or X-T4? x100v is nearly 1 stop behind anything else aps-c, which is 1 stop behind FF.

You underexposed and missed focus (pentax AE often runs dark, on top of pooptax lenses having darker T stops than they often should). That's it. Also your composition sucks.

Hers is better exposed and in focus but it's also very "crop sensor" looking. Crispy. Unnatural. Slight bokeh, with massive amounts of NR and then sharpening. You also didn't apply good enough NR for your ancient shit sensor's performance at 3200 (6400 FF equivalent, which is considered a massive quality drop even on high res FF). You would have taken a much nicer photo if you dropped your shutter speed to 1/30 or lower and dropped the ISO accordingly (if you ever check phone exif you'll find speeds like 1/10 are common, the crappy OIS they have built in can cover a decent number of stops because 1: it's low res as fuck and 2: its a very small sensor). And if you hit focus, but hey, you have a DSLR. Either the AF is on point or you're likely to miss focus because the focusing screens they come with are "low resolution"/kind of hazy and optimized for brightness (to contrast, I can hit focus with a 135mm on a film SLR designed for MF... on a fine matte screen without prism aids). Use single point AF and move it around. Pentax AF fucking SUCKS. Treat it like a 5d classic.

Verdict: You suck at this worse than an iPhone's auto exposure algorithm.

Phones either run slow on exposures or they take 3+ short exposures and stack them to get some NR out of it. The worst version of the smearing effect is from trying to merge misalignments.

This might look a bit shit in a web browser but i view everything on a 256dpi screen or print stuff so idc. photos aren't meant to be viewed 1:pixel at 1/4 the resolution of a print. consoomer display technology has been a disaster for photography and is the entire cause of "pixel peeping" because i know almost nobody is making 5ft prints. you should always check "print" or "comp" in that studio shot tool because its closer to how you'll actually use shit.

if the ISO is this high an 8x10 is the upper limit but it should be closer to 5x7

Equivalence is equivalence. He’d get the *same* result from MFT, SNR wise. Cropping a 32.5mm at f4 would literally take the same image. At 100% output size. I’m also assuming this is photographed in near darkness so since it’s not a bright exposure noise is worse no matter what. However since he has the A7RIII, he actually reduces noise when downsampling and retains more detail albeit disrupted by noise, so it comes out sharper (and so does the noise) than it would on a 20-25mp crop sensor.

Canon R6 mark II or R8. Both offer focus stacking for macro shots. RF 85 f/2 IS has great IQ, IS (cooperates with IBIS on R6 II), and focuses down to 2:1. Get an extension tube to get to 1:1. Add whatever normal zoom you like. Keep in mind you can add an EF adapter and have access to cheap EF lenses on eBay.

I'm going to Japan in 2 months and would like to get a new camera before I go. I currently use an EOS 60D - pic related - but I'm really feeling its age; it frequently struggles to focus, takes a long time to focus, and many shots I take with a high focal length end up being dark, grainy and blurry. I've also found it inconvenient to carry around and use if I'm just walking around a city and not specifically going sightseeing.

I think a mirrorless would be ideal for my purposes however I don't really know what to go for. A friend suggested a Fujifilm X-S10 but it would feel quite bad switching manufacturers because I already have two lenses for my current setup. I've also considered getting a decent (film) point and shoot in addition to my DSLR/Mirrorless but I wouldn't want to split my budget between the two. The P&S would be for carrying around in a pocket while the mirrorless would be specifically for sightseeing purposes or when traveling in a car.

Budget is around $1200 and I'd just use my current lenses.

The problem is sensors are very uniform in their structure and super easy to manufacture, just like DRAM memory chips, they are almost cousins in the family tree of microchips.
And the DRAM market has already been flooded and ruined the profit margins for Samsung and Sandisc. The writing is on the wall for Sony already.
What's worse, this is actually old news which for some reason we haven't been told until now. That means the Chinese have been researching CMOS IS tech since 2019 now, and they are now ready to brag abot their SMOS IS achievements, Sony is fucked.

>with a proxy war
They tried in Myanmar, that failed.
Laos and Cambodia is lost to China forever.
Vietnam is currently in a position where American have to suck their cocks and no one in the american shill force are allowed to criticise Vietnam for being communist.

If I miss your answers...assuming your lenses are worth keeping and that you want new aps-c, you should be looking at an R10 or R50. You'll need an EF adapter to use your 60D lenses. Either of those two bodies has industry leading AF, with better high ISO and base ISO DR than your 60D, and 4k30 movie recording, again with industry leading AF.

If you don't already have one, I would also suggest a fast prime lens for any night photography in Japan.

Ukraine has already depleted our reserves of key munitions. And we're screwed in a direct conflict because we can't even recruit enough people for our military. Zoomers don't believe in this county having grown up in an America with no jobs for citizens, home prices forever out of reach, and constantly inflating prices.

IBIS and OSS only stack on sony’s best cameras just like they crippled the a7iv’s burst shooting to justify the a1s existence

On the cheaper ones they only maintain 5 stops with telephotos instead of 2 OSS only or 3 IBIS (IBIS is less effective with long lenses).

They did this because they know most people with telephotos are never going more than two stops under the 1/lens length rule and handheld long exposures are usually just gear tests. Just like they crippled a7c evfs because they knew street photographers are retarded. Just wait until they realize no one actually uses more than 2-3 stops of shadow recovery and decide that needs crippled on everything but the a7rvi and a1ii.

https://www.dpreview.com/products/canon/lenses/canon_10-22_3p5-4p5
I have no idea if either of these are good or worth keeping relative to other lenses because they were both gifts. I don't think I have any complaints about either of them however aside from photos feeling dark at high focal lengths.
>- Are you open to used bodies or do you want new only?
Preferably new only, but I wouldn't turn down a bargain. However I live in New Zealand so the market is alot smaller than in a larger country
- Do you want FF or are you fine with aps-c? (60D is aps-c) Or do you not know?
I've only ever shot with the 60D so I'm not sure if I'd value a fullframe camera more. Looking briefly that seems to be about +$1000 in local currency comparing the R8 to the R10 (=$600 USD). To be clear, my initial $1200 budget was in USD.
>- Give us a rough idea of the kinds of photos you want to take in Japan. Night street? Wide angle landscapes? Telephoto wildlife?
I don't have a specific preference unfortunately. I usually end up taking photos of landscapes because that's usually what I'm in a position to shoot in terms of traveling with a large camera. I have however enjoyed walking around and just photographing buildings, streets etc - pic related I took the last time I was there. I'd like to take more candid photos of (individual) people but I think this would be difficult with a larger camera.

I should maybe also mention that I tend to only use my camera when travelling; I tend to not go and drive somewhere on the weekend and take photos unless I'm already going to an event or something. When I do use it though, I use it alot.

Two other things I forgot to mention:
I'm fine to go a bit over budget, I'm mostly trying to avoid paying enormous amounts more for features that I won't really use or get the most out of. For example, video capability isn't a high priority for me, but if a camera with good still photo ability happens to also have good video then I won't complain. Price:performance ratio, in other words.
I'm not huge on camera hardware specs and can't really assess how good a camera is based off looking at a spec sheet. I know that high megapixel != high quality, and I understand terminology like iso, fstop, shutter speed, focal length etc.

Looking for something good with color and light enough to be a second body and preferably fairly cheap and detail isn't really what I'm going for, thinking more mood and good colors.

35 and 50 shoot very differently desu - I find 50 a bit too tight most of the time, 35 is much more to my liking - very versatile. Shoot indoor, outdoor, landscape, portraits, etc. Don't have to get up out of your seat if you want to take a photo of someone across a table.

This is what I'm reminding myself of. Every time I've done this before I always end up regretting it and wishing I had just waited until I had the money. Any joy I get by having it is outweighed by the stress of the debt.

Both the Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS mark III and the Tamron EF 70-200 f/2.8 VC G2 are just as good optically but cheaper. The Tamron is a lot cheaper actually, and probably has the best OIS between the three. The RF version does collapse to a smaller size but you have to decide if that's an advantage to you, and if it's worth paying for. Personally I prefer a 70-200 that does not collapse (better weather sealed).

this anon is right >>4241307
but just to elaborate, higher ISO does not mean more noise
higher ISO typically implies more noise because you're increasing the sensitivity to account for less light hitting the sensor
in this case the light is the same either way (aperture & shutter are the same)
lower ISO is lower sensitivity — it expects more light hitting the sensor for the same exposure
you're giving it less light relative to the sensitivity, thus more noise to signal ratio

These ones are quite a bit cheaper though, and you have to stand up, causing more wind resistance.
But the 60 volt ones easily hit 80 km/h whihc is plenty lethal velocity anyway.
And the 72 volt ones can hit 100 km/h.

I should have asked, but I assume you normalized the exposure for the two photos in post?
some cameras would have the same noise level (or close) either way — called ISO invariance
for perspective, the K-1 mark I is a highly ISO invariant camera (the mark II is not due to hardware noise reduction)

desu it matters if the video is line skipped, binned, or oversampled

i will take oversampled 4k in apsc any day. video is always done with f2.8 zooms anyways and super 35 is like a standard for FOVs. oversampled full width is ok too but you need to use longer lenses to avoid the wide angle dizziness. perspective distortion is an effect to use, not a fact of life to work around.

but not line skipped full width and definitely not line skipped apsc. oversampling gains a stop of iso cleanness and produces more detailed footage, skipping and binning just look like shit.

Hell, I'm still happy with what I get out of my x-e2 and still take it out regularly - despite it having the oldest sensor in my collection aside from a 5Dc.20230430-183002-DSCF6369.jpg

You have a couple of zooms that cover a huge range. But they're kinda slow. What I would do at this point is figure out which focal lengths I tend to really like, and get fast primes to cover that. The IQ will be much better, and you'll have more creative options and low light capability.
For example I am a sucker for 28mm. I have like six of them and even a fixed lens camera.

Fuji buyers love the color science and don't care much about the fine detail. (The fine detail isn't terrible, just not equal to Bayer at the same MP.) I'm a FoolFramer but if I had to choose between the X-T4 or the A6600 I would choose the Fuji mainly because I hate Sony's color science. It's not that you can't fix it in post, it's that you have to. Fuji is going to give you pleasing colors out of camera.

It's shit for both brands. Did you get them mixed up with nikon and canon?

Sony and Fuji are notorious for god awful colors. Sony REQUIRES shooting raw, because NR and white balance in camera are unusable even if you get the newest model that has fixed colors finally. Sony AWB is so bad they had to add AWB lock. Anyone happy with their sony camera will eventually crack and admit they have to shoot raw, with all corrections off.

Fuji color science is so bad film sims are an actual cope. They don't look like film, they just look like a heavy edit to excuse shit colors, like you see on r/sonyalpha. hyperreal, crazy color shifts, because SOOC always looks bad unless you use an A7R V and capture one, or a custom camera profile for raw for any other combination of model and software. That's also life on fuji but they know it's impossible to get authentically good colors out of xtrans so they just include vsco filters I mean film sims on camera.

The only reason they don't care about fine detail is they are invariably larpers who do photography for attention and therefore the largest image they ever distribute is a 4k youtube video. They also tend to be in that sophomoric phase where a non-artist thinks that by eschewing technical details they will become more creative.

Sony users, on the other hand, realize that "real artists" do care about specs, but fail to realize that "real artists" dont COPE about them, they buy a fucking hasselblad or just admit it sucks but still works.

Fake news. CaptureOne's profile looks very similar to the Adobe Color profile just more saturated (In other words, like ass). The camera matching profile is great. I also use AWB and rarely every adjust it in LR.

- Large landscape prints benefit from higher resolution, sharpness, and better wide angle lenses. This is high resolution FF and MF territory.
- Extreme low light benefits from larger sensors and faster lenses. This is FF territory. FF is now to the point that you can shoot hand held 4k24 in the darkest urban/suburban light.
- Event photography benefits from zooms but also benefits from shallow DoF. This is FF territory thanks to the wide availability of high quality f/2.8 zooms. Event photography also benefits from high ISO capability which reduces flash output increasing recycle times, and also results in a better mix of flash and ambient light. So...FF and MF.

It's not impossible to do most of these things with m43. (FF can handle some night video situations that would kill m43.) But there are clear benefits to larger systems. That's simple reality.

You'll get better high ISO, better base ISO DR, and sharper shots ooc. You will spend more time fiddling with colors in post. Whether or not you will benefit from FF enough to justify the move depends entirely on what you shoot and what lenses you can buy.

You should also look at the R6 or R6ii: better ooc colors, better AF, better IBIS.

Given the choice of a Canon R7 or a G9II/OM-1 for a wildlife/macro focused setup (maybe a wide-angle for landscapes), any particular recommendation? I know Canon’s RF-S lens selection is bad, but I’m viewing it more as a 90D that gets to use those weird f/11 telephoto primes, and such.

Seems like in comparing test images, both camera groups are basically the same. The R7 just has more room to crop.

Makes sense. I have an S5II which has been great for stills in standard focal lengths, but pretty weak on the telephoto lens selection. Stuff like the Canon 100-500 (probably will start with the cheap 100-400) is appealing as something to save towards.

I realize the smarter move might be a full shift to RF mount, but trying to think through what that looks like and if it isn’t smarter to use get an R6II.

I am at a bit of an decision impasse:
On saturday I am leaving for 2 weeks to central america with my family, first big meeting in 4 years and we will be in the mountains, jungle, coast, mostly hiking but also lots of other tourist stuff. I have a Lumix G8 (MFT) I already have my telephoto lens packed and I know I will be taking my macro which is a 30mm 2.8. Now i have space for 2 more lenses
>Manual Canon 24mm f2.8 either adapted at crop factor x2 or with speedbooster at x1.5
>Manual Canon 50mm f1.4 either adapted at crop factor x2 or with speedbooster at x1.5
>native autofocus 25mm f1.8
>native autofocus 12-35mm f2.8-5.6
I know using the adapted lenses gives me no wide angle option except maybe the 24mm which can be a 18mm when speedboosted. Taking the 12-35mm is a given almost, but then the question: a 25mm lens with good separation and excellent autofocus for portraits/candids of the people I will spend time with or the 50mm which has excellent separation plus can also be turned into a 35mm with the booster but manual? Also, with the 30mm macro, the 12-35mm and the 50mm speedboosted, I have 3 lenses that cover the 30mm range. the 2 manual lenses with the macro seem to have the best coverage but least autofocus and least zoom
Any recommendations?

I like having a wide angle prime as a general walkaround lens - in the 28-35 range. That adapted 24 is the closest thing you have. But not everyone wants to fuss around with manual focus all the time either.

Lumix also adapts them very well using the Sigma MC-11 adapter.

Canon looks atrocious in LR as well. Nikon looks good, almost the same as its jpeg outputs.

Canon looks great with DXO Photolab though. Have you tried Sony files with it?

Best setup of one camera body + 3 small prime lenses that can do street, landscape and portrait photography? Also webcam use. Would be nice with UAC protocols.

I already have Canon R6 and Nikon Z5 and lots of lenses. But I want something either smaller/lighter or cooler looking. I like the new Snoy A7Cs, but I'm worried about the colors. I love Nikons colors. Thought about ZF but 24mp is the same as my Z5, and this camera is even larger and heavier.

Should I just downgrade to an APS-C? Like Nikon Zfc or Sony a6700.

Nikon Zfc
DX 12-28mm
CV 23mm f2 Apo-Lanthar
Sigma 56mm f1.4

Or...
Nikon Zfc
Z 26mm f2.8 pancake
CV 40mm f1.2 Nokton
Z 85mm f1.8S

Or
Sony A7CR
Loxia 21mm f2.8
Sigma 45mm f2.8
Sigma 90mm f2.8

As somebody who moved from a xe4 to a Canon R5 just know what you're getting into.
I bought the R5 off a neighbor for stupid cheap, but to be honest with you I enjoyed the Fuji a lot more. The Canon was nice for low light ( and I now take my camera into clubs) but the full frame depth of field is more often a hindrance than a help. I actually got back into film as an alternative to something with more soul

Is there anything that can compete with the GR iii(x) at a lower price point? Specifically looking for something small and convenient to carry.

Looking for a decent smaller camera to take traveling,no wifi, decent MP, optical zoom, doesn't have to be super fancy, and can take a decent memory card. Any suggestions?

derp sorry yall i'm typically on >>>/x/ >>>/biz/ or nsfw boards.
I'm taking my digital art to the next level making and selling prints, I made 16 test prints and sold out last weekend (of ONE piece :)
This is kind of a weekend thing but i'm ready to drop some dough on a really nice printer. My 3 dye epson just aint gonna cut it at this rate.

I am torn between the Cannon Pro 200 and 1000. I was talked out of getting the 300 by someone who knows way more than me. But while I can imediately justify the cost of a 200 or 300, the 1000 is just out of reach budget wise this month.
I am confident I could sell enough prints using a 200 to buy a 1000, but the timeline for that is a bit fuzzy. If I only ever get one I'd prefer for it to be the 1000, but there are definatly pieces of mine that would benefit more from the dye based ink, and i have a client that isn't as interested in archival gallery tier prints.
If I got the 1000 I don't think I'd ever get a 200, so it might be nice to have both eventually.
Anyway the plan is currently to get a 200 and work up to a 1000, but I am getting pressure from gallery owners and the idea of archival prints makes me EXTREMELY HORNY.

Anyway any input? Is the 1000 just simply worth waiting a month to bridge that $400 gap or is the 200 worth getting?

GRiii is minmaxed gear, if you step away to something else you have to sacrifice sensor size (smaller) or body size (larger).

I'm thinking of selling all my gear (A7IV, 35GM, 50GM, 85GM) and going all in with the Leica Q3. Most of the time I'm using the 35mm. I don't really like the 50mm focal length. And the 85mm is nice and has beautiful bokeh but I rarely use it. So 90% it's the heavy 35mm with my heavy A7IV. Lots of weight and size, not so good jpg colors, not really fun to shoot.

The Q3 on the other hand is light, compact and takes great images. A bit wider than the 35mm though. Anyone did the switch and regret? I could imagine that sometimes I miss the bokeh. I use it mostly for cars, my kid, family and travel.

My XT3 is not satisfying me, I'm selling and upgrading for something that I want to use for a while and in my budget are 2 used cameras with a lens. They are
>Nikon Z6ii good cond + 24-70 F4 for 1900 euro
>Sony A7iii excellent cond + 24-70 F4 for 1800

I was first wanting to get the Z7 original cause I want the higher MP (because I like sharp landscape and travel pics) but the XQD card slot only is really bugging me so I'm not really convinced.

Unless it really is the better option. What do you guys think?

Looking for something like pic related

>minimal size and weight for travel
I am looking at a few but none of them really seem to convey how small they would be. It's supposed to go on a travel tripod and J am sick and tired of not being able to pan without the ball joint also coming loose. I also want to avoid adding a separate ARCA-swiss baseplate to another head.
Does anyone have any good recommendations for one that would work?

I'm honestly a huge fan of 28mm, and love fast 28s. But $6k is a big chunk of change. Why don't you just throw the FE 28 mm F2 on your camera for a while and see how it goes? A bonus is that it will become a fairly compact package as well. If you love that combo - maybe then sell everything and get the Leica.
