Poorfag here.
What's the cheapest full-frame camera I can get for wildlife?
I don't want anything smaller than full-frame because I value image quality and don't want noisy pics.

Panasonic S5

Don't listen to the DSLR tards, they just want to offload their ewaste on you.

Alright, go start at the top again.

It doesn't need to be Canon tho.

>What's the cheapest full-frame camera I can get for wildlife?
D810 if you value IQ, for cheapness you can get a Canon 5D II or Nikon D610 for i lean more to the former.

Shave my nuts jigaboo, real pros are in this thread now
>>
>>4386535
Ok, how about the R6 mark 1?
I'd ask about the R, but I don't wanna buy a failed prototype.
>>
>>4386525
You would probably get better results for wildlife with an APS-C thanks to the crop factor. The most expensive part of the gear is the lenses by far anyway
>>
>>4386544
Literally every canon is bad

Buy a nikon or sony instead
>>
>>4386544
>how about the R6 mark 1?
Unrelated to the thread's topic
>>
>>4386536
Correct, but I'm a canon shill with mostly canon knowledge. Not trying to suggest Canon is superior in any way (they are), but that's a decent rundown of what different price brackets get you.
>>4386539
I'm 28 cheers.
>>4386544
Definitely a good camera. A used R6 is a valid alternative to a new R8, price-wise. Less megapickles and a slightly older sensor isn't going to affect the vast majority of use cases, really. HOWEVER, it certainly isn't what I'd consider a poorfag buy. My initial list was just to spread out options and for cheap I'd stop at the RP.
>>
My 5dmkii still takes great images, so I'd recommend that. I bought mine back when it was new and have used it all these years. Had to get the shutter changed one time after I wore it out, but it's been solid again ever since.
Yeah there's new and better stuff, but it's still just a great camera.
I know it's old, but it still blows my mind how cheap you can get it these days.

the only actual ewaste is the broken panasonic you can't do anything with when it won't fucking turn on a year from now

i mean now we gotta know what you consider noisy because my xt2 outperformed my d700 by a long shot when it came to high iso performance

A crop sensor is never better

Cheaper, but get a job pothead
Smaller, but worse, also hit the gym sissy
Better? Hell no. “A honda scooter is better than a car” lmao at what, cutting in line and getting ran over

D800 is amazing and cheap now. F-mount glass is also very cheap.

And full frame (35mm) will never be as good as 8x10. What? You don't want to lump around a 50kg view camera set up around the forest to take snapshits of Tasmanian tigers at first light? Surely you just need to get good nigger.

Second this, I shoot professionally with a 5D mark 2. Good camera. Dynamic range is pretty average so if you need heaps of dynamic range or need to pull heaps of shadows, get something else. Will do fine for dynamic range if you bracket your shots, but obviously that means no moving subjects.

You’re right. I’m not a 500 IQ 8ft nephilim chad who can shoot wildlife on 8x10. And that’s a bad thing.

But at least I’m an average white man so i can handle full frame and digital medium format

That would be more impressive if you were a 40kg Japanese girl.

lets see you carrying a dual tripod monorail body with a 3000mm lens and a vacuum back big boy

Would that not be the size of a T-62 turret Canon?

Any analog camera with adjustable manual settings.
