Re: General dSLR advice
I think going full-frame is ok if you have some funds reserved, but the initial outlay for a ff body and a decent lens is quite eye watering expensive for a first DSLR. Although somewhat cheaper now with the 6D and 610. Still the lenses are not cheap and quite bulky compared to APS-C/m43s. I don't really care for ff at the… -
Re: General dSLR advice
I wouldn't recommend a FF for a beginner, as they probably won't know the difference's between FF or APS-C or even care. Someone who is a hobbyist who really gets into photography I might recommend a FF. Less noise, especially at high ISO has me never wanting to use anything except FF. Do you need good glass (expensive) to… -
Re: General dSLR advice
Yeah honestly for weddings I wouldn't suggest APS-C, ff is going to give the DOF control and high ISO noise advantage that a wedding photographer is going to want/need. That said I have shot a couple weddings with APS-C gear, not professionally mind you but its totally doable. A decent APS-C with a 50mm/1.4 gets you very… -
Re: General dSLR advice
FF cameras are nice for some things and if you do most of your shooting in a studio where size/weight isn't a concern I would agree. If not, there is really no reason to go for the expense and weight of a FF system. Something like the Fuji X system is very close in terms of high ISO noise, dynamic range, and the difference… -
Re: General dSLR advice
LOL FF DSLRs for hobbyists looking for something cheap. Those prices don't include a lens btw, expect to pay $500 or more to get a quality FF DSLR lens worth putting on those bodies. So realistically you're looking at $2k min, add another 1K for an additional lens or two. At the end of the day glass is what is really… -
Re: General dSLR advice
Of course, however, I only suggested those cameras if you had very specific needs, again, if you're a professional wedding, sports or wildlife photographer. Hell, I'll expand that recommendation to people who pretend to be one of those and happen to have too much disposable income. Before anyone gets offended, I fall into… -
Re: General dSLR advice
---Sorry, didn't see your response here until now. Yeah of course, though there isn't too much to argue about, if we use M43rds as a baseline and assume current generation sensors: APS-C gives 2/3rds stop narrower DOF at the same aperture and equiv focal length and about 2/3rds stop better high ISO noise and dynamic range… -
Re: General dSLR advice
APS-C specifically designed lenses like the 8-16 are 35mm equivalent to the popular 12-24 on FF. Pentax, Nikon, Sony, Fuji are all 1.5x crop. Canon is 1.6x crop. So if your fav is 50mm on FF, then look for a 35mm on APS-C to give you the 35mm equivalent. AF is generally good on most cameras I've tried, especially in good… -
Re: General dSLR advice
I actually only use my ff dslr now the only other camera i use to take pictures apaprt from my phone is a fujifilm polaroid camera mainly for social and novelty factors.. the papers bleeding expensive though... Ive got a wide enough variety of lenses to shoot pretty much anything and i know as long as im setting up the… -
Re: General dSLR advice
Yeah for the ultra-wides there isn't really much of a difference. Tamron 11-18mm, 10-24mm, Sigma 8-16mm, 10-20mm (two versions) Tokina 11-16mm + the first party choices You can't really get wider than the Sigma 8-16mm with FF(Sigma 12-24mm FF lens is equiv).
