What's the deal with this camera, why does it have such a bad reputation? I was looking for a mirrorless body to adapt my vintage glass too and this really cheap. Is it worth it for adapting lenses?

I just checked the photos-to-photos and boy that is rough. It is worse than some mft cameras, but that being said, it's the same as the 5dii and I think that's still a very usable camera.

They are cheap now, so if you'd want into the RF-ecosystem there's nothing wrong with it. If you'd ask me, the issue is the RF-ecosystem. The good lenses are very expensive, and the cheap one's aren't good.
>>
>>4383771
It was the second R camera and was made to be the cheapest entry into Full Frame. They were still finding their footing with mirrorless, so some aspects about it are a bit fucky.

The DR and noise sit between high-end APS-C and budget modern FF sensors. The R8 being the next step up, and it's a noticeable step. The menus and ergos are a departure from Canon's norm.

However it is literally the cheapest FF camera you can get, and is generally still a good option for the budget-oriented. See if you can find one with the f/4 L lens that some came in a kit with.

>>4383774
No, nothing is worse than mft except 1”. And the the a9iii, which forces NR and only comes out as good as aps-c for it until you look in the shadows (the lie reveales - mft DR)

Its about as good as APSC and what the r5ii, r3, and r1 would look like without forced noise reduction. Which is fair. It sells for less than most aps-cope cameras.

Two different breeds. The R is basically a proto-R6, with the build quality and price to match. IIRC the sensor is more capable, but I can't remember if it came out of an existing design or not.
The RP is a bargain-bin full frame. Still capable, but it's basically comparing the R6II to the R8.
>>4383856
Thank you for your service, while these gearfags argue about sensor DR.

>shitty sensor
The sensor is fine except for base ISO DR. It can handle landscapes with sky/clouds, but not sun in frame. For that you need to expose/blend two frames.

>crap video quality / video af
It has decent video AF and good 1080p. The problem is the crop for 4k.
>>
>>4383978
Sensor was outdated and outclassed when it was first released with the 6dii. It's crap!
>>
>>4383866
>Its about as good as APSC and what the r5ii, r3, and r1 would look like without forced noise reduction.
Utterly retarded meme. The "forced NR" is so light that it doesn't affect detail at all. That means it's not strong enough to change the DR ranking. It's probably there to catch some e-noise artifact that might annoy people.
>>
>>4383978
Also no dual pixel af for video. It has the hardware for it but Canon specifically disabled the feature.
Can't imagine why someone would knowingly buy a crippled camera besides it being cheap.
>>
>>4383980
>BUT MUH DR!!!
Show us your highest DR RAW, would love to see it. The vast majority of photographs ever made do not push the DR of today's sensors, and the RP is on par with the average for neg film (~11ev). I wouldn't want to shoot it for weddings due to less recovery in the event of an exposure error. But then again, I know a wedding photog who started on the RP and did fine.

It's fine in all other respects: res, high ISO, color (better than sony). It is what it is, the cheapest FF mirrorless. If that's all your need there's nothing wrong with it.
>>
>>4383983
It uses DPAF for 1080p, not for 4k. It's basically a 1080p video camera. Some people don't need video or need more than that. For them it's fine. I would be the first to recommend something higher, but for someone on a budget it will get the job done.
>>
>>4383982
>the usual canon cope
The EOS Rs, z6iii, z8, fujis, and g9ii all have the same base ISO shadow recovery capability. Aka the same dynamic range. EOS R/modern high speed nikon is gimped for speed.
And it does affect detail. 1 stop of noise reduction doesnt even affect detail that much. You can match ISO 800 w/ NR to ISO 100 w/o NR and the photos will look equally detailed if you use good NR not darktable. What little ultra fine detail blurring you’d find could be blamed on the lens or an AA filter. 1 stop of NR is literally nothing, and Canon’s NR is currently world class including in SOOC jpegs. No other brand produces sucb usable, pixel peeping worthy SOOC jpegs at high ISO.

The dynamic range just isn’t there if you wanted to push a file the extra stop. Oh the price you pay for speed. No worries, i’m sure they’ll release a quality first camera ala the 5dsr of the 2020s so they can profit off this situation. Lol.

>>4383867
>IBIS is a useless gimmick and video doesn’t belong on stills cameras
I don't think it's useless, but not having it is not a deal breaker either. It's a feature like weather sealing in that you shouldn't rely on it instead of doing things properly, but it is a nice safety net in case you get caught out.

The RP is a truly excellent camera with almost perfect size, weight and ease of handling.
It doesn't have a great battery life or burst shooting rate, but anyone who tells you it doesn't take good enough photos is just not a good enough photographer.

>"it does affect detail"

>writes a book
I don't know or care what process PtP is detecting and claiming is "forced NR" because unlike you I know about the complexity at the level of the sensor and ADCs, and that signal is tweaked and processed by every digital sensor ever constructed. Canon having an algorithm that trips PtP's threshold (while others might not despite similar algorithms) is not the same as "hurr forced NR IT'S NOT REAL DR!!!" All I care about is that the chain gives me the images I want.

You can push an R5 RAW further than most cameras that ever existed, and nearly as far as the very best today (there are a couple sensors even better in this regard). Well beyond what anyone practically needs, and without any apparent NR smoothing. I'm fine with that. I would even be fine with the "forced NR" by Sony at high ISOs except for the fact that it ate stars.

Do you even own a camera? Do you have any photos?

>hurr 5Ds
Can you post a personal photo with a DR wider than the 5Ds can produce in ACR? DxO PL? I won't hold my breath.
>>
>>4383867
>IBIS is a useless gimmick and video doesn’t belong on stills cameras
Canon's IBIS is awesome. Not having it is not a deal breaker since there are IS lenses, but it works extremely well. Especially for video as you can often leave the gimbal at home.
>>
>>4383995
>>4384038
Based. The people (or person) pushing the "it's shit" meme don't even seem to own a camera, or have any photos. Sure, pretty much every other FF RF body is "better", but put "better" into context. The RP can still take incredible photos.

>>4384010

The poster who goes on autistic tangents about the "forced NR" has never backed himself up or posted any links/examples. Every time he's pressed on it, he just writes another essay with slightly different wording. He's such a one trick pony that I don't even see the point in trolling him.

Please, shut up, canon 5ds larp sperg. You don't own a camera. You think everyone you get into an argument with is the same person. You have been reposting the same poorly shot, out of focus looking maps and awful volleyball snapshit over and over again for 3 months and when asked to post a simple photo of your 5ds you back out instantly. Shocking.

Everyone on /p/ recognizes you easily because you're incapable of hiding it. You think they're all the same person but you've pissed off a dozen people by now.

Anyways, time for facts
Canon, nikon, and yes, sony, are absolutely screwing FF fags out of some of the dynamic range full frame is meant to have. I'm not usually one to complain and like me a 10 stop DR CCD sensor sometimes, and not everyone needs the highest DR camera. But prices range from TWO TO FIVE THOUSAND FUCKING DOLLARS.
This is indefensible behavior from these corporations. I get it, it's probably cheaper for their R&D teams to speed up readout by gathering less light, vs the daunting task of developing entirely new sensor technology, but in what fucking world does corner cutting jive with a FIVE FUCKING THOUSAND DOLLAR camera and why is this gimping becoming the standard? If it's aps-c tier full frame it should be half off.

>>4384056
There's more than one person that has discovered the horrors of modern mirrorless anon. It's a plain fact at this point that canon has resorted to employing noise reduction to impress point of sale customers and keep their cameras ranked well in score-based review sites, the majority of which base their scores off immediately apparent noise, rather than deeper dives into real dynamic range capture.

Even dpreview is pointing it out with the R5II and Z6III and they usually shill hot garbage due to being an ad platform owned by amazon

>>4384061
80mp 6x7 is a fact though? you're just a significantly worse camera technician than tim parkin. the great problem with film is the massive amount of skill needed to use it to its full potential. you simply lack that skill. its ok. digital was made because most people are like you, and suffer from a complete lack of skill.

you literally can not even achieve the full resolution of film with the majority of camera gear. the only reason tim parkin got a sharp 80mp scan of 6x7 is because he used a mamiya 7. if he used a hasselblad, it would have been softer than your momma's asshole.

I didn't back out. I said "you first." Any camera. Show us what you own that everything else is shit. Then I'll be happy to post my gear.

>posts +6ev extreme crops all of which are breaking down at this scale
>SEE THEY'RE SCREWING YOU OUT OF DR!!!
Different sensors prioritize different things, and most are limited to about +5ev. The R5ii gave up a little DR and high ISO for faster readout speeds, for example, because most people would rather have the readout speed. Can you show us a photo that you took that needed +6ev? We would love to see it.

>BUT THE PRICE!!!
Employment issue.

>This is indefensible behavior from these corporations.

Canon still does a horrible job with sky colors, just now its cyan instead of blurple
>>
I just went to a shopping mall and I was looking at cameras since it's black friday and it would be nice to be able to take nice pictures of my family. I could buy an EOS R100 w/ a lens or RP w/o lens for the same price, more or less. A bit cheaper, there was a 2000D or 600D w/ lens. I saw that the RP had a way higher "normal" retail price so I was thinking of going with that. Online reviews were more or less decent for all cameras, as far as I could see. Then I said, let's go back home and ask autists on 4chan what they think - I've lurked /p/ a couple times but I'm a nophoto still.

I'm blogposting just because
> 900s to post

What I got from /p/ in general and this thread is:
> 80% of a good pic is post-processing, 20% is a good camera
> don't go with Canon
> don't ask other people what camera to use cause autists will recommend terrible gear
> buy whatever you want, even a Canon, you gotta post-process anyway

And then there’s this no camera schizo retard who says canon is so flawless they somehow got a 50mp low DR sensor to beat a film format that produces tack sharp 80 to 150mp scans.

Please post a photo of your camera with a recent (past month) pic on the back and timestamped note.

if all you can afford is an rp and you must go mirrorless, and already have some canon compatible stuff or cheaper and easier access to it, the r7 is worth a look for a few dollars more. the r8 is a cuck camera and should be ignores, the only people defending it cope hard to protect the honor of their favorite brand.

Yup. Sounds like you got the gist of it. Use whatever works for you. How much did they want for the RP though? Both of those other cameras you mentioned were crop sensors and the RP is full frame.

Oh I have no camera at all and I would just be getting into photography. But it wouldn't be my main thing, my ideal solution would be
> spend a reasonable amount for family photos
> if I end up liking the hobby, be able to improve my gear without having to buy everything from scratch again

I don't yet speak photography well enough, so I'll say it in PC terms hoping I'll explain myself
> build a PC with a good mobo
> be able to buy more ram, more disk, and/or a better CPU if I end up using the PC more than I thought

So I'm open to change my price range to achieve this result, but my idea is
> if I spend too little, I'll get something that cannot do more than family pics
> if I spend a lot, I get an awesome camera I might end up never needing
>if I spend the right amount, I get a good camera for family pics, but I can play around with it
By playing around I mean trying with a couple landscape pics, and if I like the craft I can invest in better lenses and maybe a better body down the line, without having to sell all and start from scratch
>>
>>4384118
About 600 bucks. I was looking at a range between 400 and 750, let's say, but I pulled this numbers out of my ass and I have no idea what cameras should cost
>>
>>4384120
The problem with Canon's mirrorless is that they have no decent entry level stuff. They purposefully gimp their beginner lenses to encourage you to spend more money on full frame lenses which are expensive.
>>
>>4384122
Thats a good number for your first camera I think. It's all relative though depending on how much you make. $600 is about right for an very nice copy of the RP. If you're in the US you can look at mpb or keh for used prices of stuff.
>>
>>4384122
Be careful here. The RP is a repackaged old DSLR, the 6d mark 2, with a smaller battery and a lot of standard mirrorless features like IBIS and good 4k 24/30fps video totally absent. It’s sufficient for a hobbyist shooting lakes and stuff because so was the old DSLR.

And then there’s the lenses. Canon is really hard on budget shooters with glass quality and build quality. If you want to stay cheap it’s sony time, or your nice small rp turns into a crappy 6d with the optional DSLR lens adapter (an extra $100).

The 6dmk2 got more expensive on the used market because of the RP, if that tells you anything about it. Good mirrorless cameras typically cost about a thousand bucks. If you were never going to take advantage of modern features like pro ready 4k filming and nice lenses, it’s actually better for you to buy a spiffy used d750 (DSLR) and make up for the savings in learning some new skills.
>>
>>4384126
I'm a yuropoor. Seen the sonys the other guy recommended, a7c (mk1 I believe?) was 1k used. For 600 I'd be getting the RP new, down from 1200. Without lenses, though.

So, let's say I go with the RP, do I have an upgrade path in front of me? I see from this thread that the RP can take great pics, from my novice pov. If I ever became so autistic that I could notice the issues with those pics and start feeling limited by the capabilities of the body, are there good bodies I can buy and use with the same lenses I bought for the RP? If that were the case, I'd feel ok with spending on a nicer lens for the RP since I can keep it after I leave the RP behind.
>>
>>4384131
You have a really fucking expensive upgrade path, like $2000 body, or theres barely any change outside of low light (R8 - same camera better sensor).

Or, you can go the “knowers” route, for people who know what’s up. A used d750 is generally under $500. The lenses you can put on a d750 are less than half the price of the native ones for an RP. It wouldn’t have exposure preview, selfie capability, or subject detection, but that doesn’t stop half the professional bench at the olympics from rocking DSLRs.
BUT The RP is so cheap that the only better mirrorless cameras start closer to $1k-$1300. It’s dirt cheap old hat tech that wasn’t even well liked in its day.
>>
>>4384135
Anything you can put on a d750 that says AF-S or otherwise has an in-lens focus motor can migrate to a nikon mirrorless btw
>>
>>4384131
>So, let's say I go with the RP, do I have an upgrade path in front of me?
The short answer is yes, but you should look at lens prices.

>I can buy and use with the same lenses I bought for the RP?
Yes. The RP uses canon's current full frame lens mount (RF Mount) meaning all of their newest cameras will be compatible with the lenses you buy for the RP
>>
Remember that your first camera doesn’t have to be good, but it doest hurt to wait 2 months and get a nicer one

6d mk1 + ef 40mm f2.8. $300 kit.
>>
>>4384135
I do see some d750 for that price. I never clearly understood the lens price thing: how many lenses will I end up buying? From an outsider perspective, it looks to me like there is:
> "daily drivers", jacks of all trades masters of none
> "look at far stuff", telephotos
> "look at ze bugs", macro lenses
> panoramic/wide-angle lenses
> autistic stuff with very specific usecases

So, I'd suppose that a "normal" user, not trying to do anything too fancy, would generally be ok with 2 to 6 lenses? It's a wide range when each lens costs at least hundreds of dollars, but I'd only see someone buying 6 lenses if he's trying to do "everything", instead of properly learning each lens before buying the next one. However, everyone I've ever seen talking about lenses, tends to speak of them as of something you'd own upwards of a dozen of, which confuses me
>>
>>4384135
>You have a really fucking expensive upgrade path, like $2000 body, or theres barely any change outside of low light
NTA, but you realize that this means he just wouldn't need to spend that $2000, he could just keep the RP for longer. Even if it is just a repackaged 6dii, so what? The 6dii is a good camera, but now it's compatible with RF mount meaning it has a long lifespan ahead of it, he isn't likely to outgrow it anytime soon, and by the time he does he will be able to make an informed decision about weather or not to change lens mounts.

Also I think mirrorless cameras are a lot easier to learn on than DSLRs, being able to change settings and see the change immediately is extremely helpful, rather than taking a photo and trying to play 'spot the difference'.
>>
>>4384148
I've only ever used like 2 lenses per camera system I've owned. Anything more and they just sit unused. But then again I know what focal lengths I like to shoot.

I'd start with a 24-70 a so-called "normal" zoom and just pay attention to when and how you feel limited by it and use that to inform your next lens purchase. Whether that is "this lens is too heavy" or "I wish I could zoom in more" or whatever, rather than buying 6 lenses straight out the gate.

t. I made that mistake and wasted a lot of money
>>
>>4384148
2-6 lenaes

Fast wide/fast normal wide, fast normal tele/fast short tele, tele zoom, UWA zoom

For me its 35mm, 85mm, 100-400mm
>>
>>4384151
Nice, that helps, ty anon.

So I currently have these options it seems:
> d750, trying to buy lenses that can be migrated to modern nikon mirrorless, BUT it' a DSLR
> RP, since it's good enough that anything under 2k is not considered an upgrade BUT lenses will become expensive

What would be the next "good" upgrade over the d750? As in price? And how would that compare to the RP, and how does the d750 compare to the RP?
>>
>>4384159
I’d go d750 to zf later (it will get cheaper) or future z5ii and start out with the 24-120 f4 vr and af-s 85mm f1.8.

That covers everything including bokeh portraits. The 20mm f1.8 G is a good ass UWA but expensive. I’d save UWA stuff for Z mount.

D750 is a good body. The one issue with going F mount is only some of the lenses work well on Z mount. The nice thing about EF/RF is everything works with the exception of some really old 3rd party glass. If you're going budget DSLR+lenses with an eye towards future upgrades EF/RF is dead simple. That's not to say avoid F/Z, just be careful what glass you buy.

I kind of miss the days pre-Alamby when DRTV was still a thing and Kai and Lok would torture test consumer cameras and beat the fuck out of them to show that in most cases they'll still keep going - it wasn't to recommend setting your Rebel on fire or putting in the freezer, it was to show that going outside in a bit of rain isn't going to destroy the thing you might have saved a few months for and that you can still get shots in times or places that you might not otherwise. It led to me taking my 50D at the time and later 5D2 out on days that I would not have and getting some photos that I treasure.

R100 is a bit of a meme. At least go R50 but even then don't do that. Get the RP, you will not be dissapointed, even if 1/3rd the retards here can't stop screeching about DR and Nikon or whatever the fuck. Adapted EF lenses are cheap and plentiful.
>I'm a nophoto still

>>4384131
>upgrade path?
All in the lenses, which you can buy over time. Bodies not so much unless you realise you want "pro" features or find the shadow recovery of the RP to be insufficient. The R8 is a modern RP which has basically one flaw which is the battery life, you could upgrade to that and sell the RP and you'd only be out like $300 tops.

Thank you. However, I guess the guys were shilling other brands cause I was asking whether any other brand made more sense than canon. Local shops only sell canon and 1.5k$+ bodies from other brands, there was no "cheap" non-Canon option. But maybe it made sense to consider other brands, I thought.

Oh, and how much should I consider used cameras? I'l take an example I could find, idk if it's even a good deal but I'm interested in learning about the "mileage":
> Canon 5DS R
> 27k shots, 29k mirrorcount
Or
> Nikon Z30
> 2k shots

How does that translate in life expectancy?

Yep, cameras aren't as delicate as the resident snoy shill would have anyone believe. My first DSLR was not claimed weather sealed and yet it took a beating and kept going.
>>
>>4384323
No one serious buys cameras from local shops. That's how you get fucked into buying a canon, because they only carry canon, and it's literally the only reason canon has majority market share and anti-consumer practices - because exclusive deals with shops give them the position of having no easy alternative. They lack in IQ and overcharge for lenses and basic features like IBIS and full mechanical shutters that were on micro four thirds in 2012. In a fully fair market, where everyone had equal access to all major brands, I doubt canon would be more than the #2 brand. The #1 spot would eventually belong to fujifilm (improved profits = improved cameras) or nikon.

D750 is a solid rec for a first "real camera", although it takes some skill to use a DSLR that it doesn't take to use a mirrorless. It has an up-down hinged screen, high resolution, low noise, high sharpness, the best color science period, and fast and accurate autofocus in the OVF. With a few good AF-S F mount lenses (which work PERFECTLY on Z mount, contrary to that canon shill, who is an actual shill who stalks /p/ defending canons honor and begging us to buy refurbed R50s direct from their website...) you are all set to upgrade to a nikon ZF or something a year or two down the line when "the good nikon mirrorless" will be much cheaper.

Also don't but buy a 5ds R lol, the ISO noise is nasty on high res cameras, nastier on canons, unless it's clear daylight and it's a huge dinosaur camera that really shows how dated cameras end up looking with these overly conservative designers (tiny, fixed, low res rear screen). The sensors in Nikon cameras are absolutely superior. Less noise = more preserved microcontrast in textures and better color tonality. Noise reduction leaves resolution and detail alone until high ISOs like 800+, but makes some things look kind of plastic because it can't tell subtle color texture from noise.
>>
>>4384443
Every time I see a used sony for sale it's beat to shit, missing half its paint, has gunk built up in the buttons, and it still works.

Perhaps sony cameras aren't as delicate as the resident paid marketers working for panasonic and canon would have us believe, and the famous imaging resource weather sealing test (which directly contradicted several independent tests that showed the same sony model surviving rain and arctic conditions) was faked at the behest of one of their sponsors. Perhaps the half dozen broken sony cameras they repost are all there is. Perhaps they repost the same s9 vs a7cii test that shows purposefully fudged white balance (green tint is a white balance setting) because the colors are actually fine if you merely open flickr and punch in the model name.

Perhaps all panasonic S, sony, nikon, and fujifilm cameras do the same thing. And only canon sucks because they force NR in raws.

Lol, so every 10k shot is roughly 100k miles on a car? I was seeing they claim a Canon 7D to be rated up to 150k clicks for example, so I thought it wouldn't be that bad

>>4384444
What about Fujifilm? Do you mean it's too niche a brand to make excellent cameras? Of theirs, I could find the X-E3 in budget, or an x-S10 with 15-45mm slightly above budget.
I can find the d750 a bit lower than the budget I had set, so I wouldn't mind going a bit higher for a mirrorless since most people are advising against DSLR. I can find a Z50 in budget, dunno if it's any good though
>>
>>4384323
Just look up the expected shutter life for the camera in question (Google). Be aware that the rating is an average. Some don't make it that far, some go much further.

No experience with the Z30. As for the 5DsR
- IQ beast better than MF film. Immersive fine detail, big prints, 2x cropping when needed. Can support 60" prints with sharp glass, and 2x cropping.
- Built like a tank.
- Excellent OVF, 1DX derived AF using the OVF, and exposure meter. It even has iTR (mirrorless like subject tracking) through the OVF, not as good as decade newer mirrorless bodies, but works pretty well in certain situations.
- Excellent detail and noise characteristics to ISO 3200. 6400 and 12800 are usable, just don't expect 60" prints from them and apply a little NR.
- Not very tolerant of underexposure at high ISO, you definitely want a good histogram.
- Base ISO DR a little better than Portra. If you nail your exposures and learn ETTR you won't have a problem.
- Great ergonomics.
- Bigger and heavier than mirrorless bodies, it's a weather sealed DSLR tank.
- Video almost isn't worth mentioning, except that it does produce good, sharp 1080p. But you're on your own, LiveView/video AF sucks and there are none of the tools video guys expect. It was the early days of hybrid video.
- My only real complaint is that the RAW buffer is 17 frames with a fast card. It's definitely not a "spray and pray" camera. But if you anticipate peak moments, perfectly capable of fast action photography. Other than that, fucking awesome with amazing IQ.

Fyi the d750 is a superior camera to the rp for everything but videography. Its like shooting with portra 160 pro film in a SLR instead of ultramax 400 drug store film in a disposable. Just a lot better, but you need to learn to use it. And its bigger.

>>
>>4384450
>portra has less DR than a 5ds
It has over 15 stops if you tolerate overexposure related color shifts. When film was a professional medium it had 10, but now it’s an artistic medium so soulless professional metrics regarding color accuracy and a cutoff for how much grain is too much no longer apply. By professional standards portra was only 8mp before photos were “unacceptable, use medium format you amateur” due to grain. but now that film is an artistic medium it has visible detail up to 24mp in scans and the grain is desirable. The old school opinion would call that an excessive enlargement and an unusable print!

Amazing how gear can be a matter of perspective even when you call it an objective measurement huh? Take DR in digitals. DXO says 14.5, photons to photos says 12.5, if you love noise you can squeeze about 16 stops out of a step wedge test with a typical modern ff sensor ie: zf, a7c.

Yes, why did 6x7 80mp scan fall off into unusable garbage at the same lp/mm mark as the 80mp camera and resolve the 8 as an 8 instead of a B when another guy took a boring snapshit of a document, actually implying slightly higher resolution?

Because you’re a shitty photographer whose crowning achievement was a creepshot of a womans tits in 2018. You are so bad at this, and so short on photos to post, I doubt you know how to use a camera so you probably missed focus. If other people are taking sharper photos of similar subjects, like charts and maps, you just suck at this. Thats why you’ve been reposting the same photo from 2018 for 3 months.

I’m sorry but this is as true a fact as canon forcing NR in raws and crippling everything under the number 6

Its because tim used a fucking mamiya 7 and retard here cant exactly afford one if he has a 5ds that only sees sunlight every 6 years. Most people using cheaper SLRs never saw great resolution from MF film because of the excessive mirror related vibrations and inferior optics from designing around an excessively large mirror box. A mamiya 7 is rigid enough and has glass good enough to achieve these figures on a tripod. The other 99% of medium format cameras can not, period, except for a minority of later hasselblad V system lenses.

Optional: Get mid-grade k&f CPL and ND64 filters for the 24-120 if you like photos of lakes and waterfalls
Optionally pick a prime: Nikkor af-s 20mm, 28mm, 50mm, or 85mm f1.8 G
Upgrade to Zf or whatever future nikon mirrorless appeals to you in a year or two
>>
>>4384518
That about sums it up quite nicely
>>
>>4384518
the 24-120 is so sharp, and then nikon made it sharper on Z mount

why hasn’t anyone even come close except for fujifilm? canon and sony only have meh 24-105s
>>
>>4384518
Given that some told me that starting with a DSLR is a bit more complex, and D750 is on the cheap side of the budget I was considering, would you recommend any Nikon mirrorless? Is the Z30 or Z50 a good pick? When I look for mirrorless used nikons those fall on the higher end of my budget (with and without lenses, respectively), but I can look for other ones if you can recommend some. Or do you disagree that DSLR's challenges are a problem?
>>
>>4384533
because sharpness is a metric no real photographer, that is anyone who actually takes photos, actually cares about. In fact it makes images look worse.
>>
>>4384534
Cheap nikon mirrorless has shit autofocus, a downgrade from their excellent DSLRs.
Newer expeed 7 nikon mirrorless is good, z50ii soon and it promises the AF performance of the ZF in a low res cheapo crop body


DSLRs get too much hate due to street photographers trying to justify preferring cameras that are closer to leica design-wise without admitting that its just looks. I have borrowed, flipped, and rented lots of DSLRs and they are easy to use and very fun and comfy, especially the smaller form factor nikons like the d750 and d780. The learning curve is brief and easy. An entire generation of young mothers learned to take tacky bokeh portraits of toddlers on DSLRs. Anyone who cant learn to use one has issues. If you shoot raw instead of jpeg it actually gets easier because you don’t have to give a fuck about white balance or style settings and all you have to do is do -1 or -2 exposure compensation in visibly contrasty scenes with reflective white clothes or bright clouds on a dim day.

Z30/Z50/ZFc is shit AF. Will miss focus or lose focus easily.

Z50ii, Z6iii, Z8 will probably be fine.

Would buy a D750/D810/D850 over a Z30/Z50 any day of the week if you can stand the size.

If you want mirrorless used buy a Sony A6000, Canon M50ii/M6, or newer.

You don't need good autofocus, but it'll mean less pics taken the first time around with less effort = time saved in post instead of binning the ones out of focus to keep 1-2. Plus its nice to get the pic you want the first time around.
>>
>>4384534
A D750 is a way better option than a Z30 or Z50 in terms of learning, build quality and image quality, perhaps more challenging but it will give you good experience when jumping to a mirrorless.
It is a bit more complex but nothing you cannot learn in a hour or two on field.
>>
>>4384681
The D750 is an absurdly good camera. It has modern sensor performance with soulful lenses and flawless color science that isn't limited to looking good just at golden hour.

Most of the actual decent looking photos on /p/ are either from a D750 or fujifilm.

Everything else is hypersharp sterile looks like AI shit.

D750 does rock, as do the D8x0 bodies. F mount has some great lenses, just be aware not all adapt well on Z. Aside from that the D750 is a damn fine camera. You don't need animal butthole af, learn to use DSLR AF the way it was intended and you can shoot very fast action with ease.

In the right hands focus peaking trumps most AFs.

Does a6000 mean anything from the 6000 series? I see a 6400 with 18-135, bag and 2 spare batteries for less than 800, which looks like a good deal then. But if the d750 is better, then I can still go with that. I'm looking around to see every deal I can find before pulling the trigger cause I'm not in a rush and I want to think twice before spending so much, but I'll let you guys know once I buy.

One more question: when thinking about taking portraits for family albums and such, does it makes sense to buy a light&umbrella? Or is that something that is only needed for studios/pros? It seems to me like it makes a lot of difference in pics, so I was thinking of buying one. I can find those things for 100bucks more or less, probably less if used. I've read that lighting 101 course on the wiki, and he seems to recommend that as well. Today I was at a second hand shop and they had that aluminum umbrella for 35
>>
>>4384904
The d750 is, in fact, better than a low end sony.

An a6700 would at least make up for the sensor size lulz
>>
>>4384904
You don’t need or want strobes for basic family portraits. Especially not cheap lighting gear with color accuracy issues. Strobes are for professionals aiming to shoot everything at ISO 50 f/11.

Normal flashes pointed at reflectors are good enough. Maybe you could use a strobe for an outdoor group, if you bought a 400w head and the largest photek softlighter.
>>
>>4384937
Yeah the lighting101 on the wiki said manual flash (as in, you can set the intensity) on umbrellas was the way to go.

>>4384933
Ok, then I guess d750. I'll try to find one that comes with good gear

i shoot pro video. even when i dont use external recorder only codecs, i use a monitor anyways because focus peaking with a higher res feed than the one for your 1mp back screen actually works without stopping down to f8.

Sad that a $200 monitor has a better display than a $2000 camera which has a worse display than a $800 phone.
>>

>Sad that a $200 monitor has a better display than a $2000 camera which has a worse display than a $800 phone.

Pic related is what Xiaomi uses on a $200 phone.
>>
>>4384950
Focus peaking works pretty well on the display too, I can nail 24mm f/1.4 pretty easily. Maybe not at telephoto lengths? My 85mm f/1.4 is AF so I've never tried.

Why would I be bullshitting, when I'm the one asking for help? I did find 2 ads for it under 200bucks that claimed it works, but they didn't reply on FB marketplace so they probably are bullshit.

But that's why I'm asking here, prices on FB MP make no sense, so I'm trying to understand what's the value of different cameras. In the same price range, I can find Canon 5 I and Sony A7 III, and I'm not convinced that they're really comparable. But sometimes people sell stuff that belonged to someone else, so they don't know the real value of it.

Someone earlier said that an a6000 is comparable to the nikon that most suggested - I can find various ads for that one, with a fixed lens, for 100-200bucks. Since I found one that looks legit for 130bucks, I might just go with that.

130 vs 200 isn't a big difference, for the lower price I get something that seems to have better upgrade paths (for Nikon, you guys were suggesting just one model that I could jump to - on sony it seems I'd have multiple gens of A7 I could upgrade to, besides "the latest, when it gets cheaper"); I wouldn't have to worry as much for the lenses (either buy FE, or buy E mount knowing they'll use cropping if I upgrade the body); the camera would be lighter and I could see the effect of changing settings in the monitor.

However, one guy was saying the APS-C format is a big drawback, and I'd need to go to the 6700. How does the A7 III compare to this mess?

FB Marketplace is full of unironic thirdies trying to get dumb westerners to give them a deposit for a camera that doesn't exist because the $200 they get from you is a months pay in their Southeast Asian shithole. If you noticed by now you could literally be in the same neighborhood that they claim they're in and they won't meet up.

eBay or physical meetup or nothing. Craigslist is pretty legit too. Just do only a physical meetup. No one actually doesn't know the true value of things when they can just google the make and model on eBay. Everyone has a smart phone and Google

a6000 is still a $3-400 camera. a6700/a7c is $900-1200 used. a7iii is $800-1100

I don't, I'm so used to the VF that I don't use the back screen on any cameras. No idea how much not using the rear screen affects the battery but if it makes a positive difference, then it's a win-win for me.

Size isn't everything. EVFs have a higher pixel density and in reality that's what's going to matter with your total power usage Each pixel has subpixels to power, and the EVF is going to be brighter as well.

FB marketplace with physical meetup has worked for me up until now, but maybe that's a benefit of not living in the US. To sell on FB they'd need to learn random languages for every country they want to sell in, while for US/UK etc they can just write in English which they think they already know, I guess.

I looked up craigslist and I didn't even know it was a thing in non english-speaking countries, checked it out and it has literally 13 ads for things for sale in the whole country, all categories.
>>
A7 III replied and is doing 600$ for the body, 1000 bucks for all accessories. I'm asking for what accessories specifically, but it seems it has 3 lenses plus what looks like a very big telephoto, 2 batteries + charger, what looks like an ND filter, 3 SD cards and the battery grip. It also has a bag and box to store stuff. It's a bit further away from me but I wanted to visit that city already so I'll probably just go there to pick it up or smth. If everything works it looks like a very good deal

Huge Sony fans will tell you the A7III is when it actually got good in terms of colors and autofocus. Autofocus performance is literally half the reason you bought a Sony over a Nikon/Canon DSLR. The other half is wanting to take videos without settling for a Panasonic

>>4387073

All things considered the failure rate is absurdly low. The a7iii outsold all other cameras period and it was a bad batch, not a design flaw like the pentax solenoids.

But is there.
And the colors even in raw +c1 aren’t as good as later bodies. It’s probably a CFA change.
