this was the absolute peak of digital photography and its all been downhill after here. seriously look at the shots on flickr with this tag and how good they look. mirrorless is super sterile and fake looking, and older than the mkii just were shit to use and had too much noise. seriously dont sleep on these, 5d mkii and some EF L glass has u covered and then u can spend the rest of the money on travel and taking kino shots.
>>4478405I am good, thank you

>>4478405>older than the mkii just were shit to use and had too much noise.How come? Doesn't the 6D use the same Sensor as the 5D ii?
sorry but at this point each and every single one has clocked 300k+ on the shutter and has all the rubber seals deteriorated the Nikon D610 and Olympus E-M5 MkII are the current "I have no money and I must cop swag" options, and after those inevitably all go to shit it'll likely be the Canon R & RP's turn to become mainstream workhorses in 11 years
>>4478416oh, and bonus points for the Nikon Z5, it's already a 800$ full-frame, the Z5 is gonna parent a whole generation of new photographers
>>4478416>each and every single one has clocked 300k+Maybe where you come from. In Europe you can still find many with way under 100k shutters.
FF pixel peeper DSLRs are a sure path to either quitting photography or turning into another loser like doghair/huskyfag and only ever taking photos of your pets in your backyardJust get a compact like a canon eos m and stop being an autistic fucking nerd.>BUT WHERE IS THE WEATHER SEAL IBIS OIS BURST RATE BUFFER DEPTH... WHERE IS THE FACE REGISTRATION QUARTERBACK DETECT AF...Photographers richer and more famous than you took better photos than you on all manual film SLRs because none of that bullshit matters except to soulless, non-artistic birdwatching boomers who walk around in the woods taking boring wikipedia photos of birds and mountaintops that no one will ever look at or care aboutTHE *ENTIRE* CAMERA MARKET IS FOR:1: WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY2: SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY3: OVERSPENDING BIRDWATCHING BOOMERS SPAMMING FLICKR WITH BORING SHITIf you're just taking pics or god willing, MAKING ART, you do not need more capabilities than offered by the original nikon F and a canon EOS M is fucking overkill.Prove me wrong. You fucking can't.
>>4478420I naturally distrust any claim of a decade-old professional camera that's been used that little The 5D Mark II is a "real photographer" camera, like, one people who do photography for money or an artistic pursuit actually use, it's not an X-T30 or somethingWhere are you finding used ones in such good quality?
>>4478427The AI generated picture proved you wrong
>>4478417You mean a whole generation of new pixel peeping gear nerds that care more about buying cameras than making artReal photographers don't need more than a compact or a film SLR. While you're consooming fujifilms for film "simulations", real photographers save their $2000 and just shoot a roll of kodak in glorious medium format.I used a DSLR when I was teenager and I am never going back to that POS. Just get a cheap point and shoot like an EOS M or shoot film.
>>4478431Extremely based.
>>4478431Still gave you a boner!The only large sensor digitals worth buying are called phase one and hasselblad.If you can't swing it, you're not gaining anything over an EOS M unless you're into>wedding photography (waste of time)>sports photography (waste of time)>being an overspending birdwatching boomer and spamming flickr with boring shitEveryone else only needs a compact or a film camera.
>>4478405>5d mkii and some EF L glass has u coveredUnless you want to do something basic like spot meter anywhere other than the center point
>>4478405OP is selling his 5dII on ebay btwThis is just like when that annoying backyard snapper gearfag told everyone to buy a D750, and then said he sold it and got a Z7.

>>4478439>Still gave you a boner!Projection, if I wanted to masturbate to furries I'd do it to real art drawn by furries.>>wedding photography (waste of time)>>sports photography (waste of time)Why are you guys so obsessed with pulling down fellow photographers? If we hadn't sports photographers, who would be there to make sure history is remembered?>>4478434>You mean a whole generation of new pixel peeping gear nerds that care more about buying cameras than making artNoone who remotely cares about obsessing over camera specifications is buying a Z5, same goes for 5D Mark II, it's just a reliable cheap full-frame from Nikon. That's it, that's why it's popular. Real photographers just want a passable full frame and they're gonna spend the bulk of their money on lenses.>Real photographers don't need more than a compactNoone needs anything, I don't need legs to live, sure is nice to have legs though, I have taken some of my best work with a $100 1200D Rebel and I created art with it, I'm still saving up for an OM-1 MkII, it doesn't hurt me to have a nicer camera that does what I want - better, and I hold no grudge against that 1200D, I love my EF-S and EF gear.>real photographers save their $2000 and just shoot a roll of kodak in glorious medium format.What's your obsession with trying to assert that real photographers only shoot film? I do both and I am content, I have an East German camera for having fun.>Just get a cheap point and shoot like an EOS MThe EOS M is an MILC, not a point and shoot, dumdum, see pic, r u just baiting?
>>4478447I kneel, Evropa won, my brown people market can't compare>Why is there such a cult around the 5D mark ii?It was really good when it released, so a lot of people bought it, so it lost value really quickly, so now it's a very cheap entry to photography for young people with not a lot of money being able to effectively get a pro body under 500$ with overall pretty reliable autofocus and build quality and be able to reap cheap 2000s DSLR glass that's still quality Then Magic Lanternbros came and gave it hilariously colour accurate RAW video recording so you had a lot of the cinema people make movies with itIt's a camera that was the right camera at the right time
>>4478450Oh, yes, and it was also the first real hybrid, first camera to take 1080p video, and they shot House MD with it, it became an industry standard DSLR
>>4478447It gained a lot of cultural cachet being the first popular “hybrid” camera (famously an episode of the TV show House M.D. was shot exclusively with it which was “a big deal” at the time). I think that just diffused into general gearfag subconscious where it just gets brownie points for all that stuff extra to its photographic uses, even if they don’t realize it.
>>4478412>>4478414the duality of fagns
>>4478427Anyone know why this gay furry is so obsessed with the two dog posters?
>>4478463Gay brazilian furry to you filho de puta.But you know you're cANON/cinefag levels of disliked here, right? You two are prime examples of stupid gearfags doing photography to justify your gear hobby. You are the best example of what not to do /p/ has ever produced. And one of you told everyone to buy a d750, and then suddenly didn't have a d750 and upgraded to a z7. Unforgivably scum behavior.
I've been shooting with my 5dmkii for 15+ years. If it could do 1080p 60fps for slow motion shots I wouldn't want to upgrade.I've moved beyond the camera and need something better.I'm thinking about getting a macro lens and use it for a dslr film scanner setup. It'll work fine in a static setup like that. But I need something that can shoot higher resolution video, better auto focus, cleaner iso and something MUCH lighter.
>>4478463>two dog posters*the dog posterThe husky was confirmed for dogsitting, not a different person.His german shepherd is kinda hot ngl
>>4478484>>4478478Cringe and schizo.
>>4478483The canon R10 is a better camera than any DSLR canon ever made, or any camera sony ever made>>4478484Why is every husky this fag owns so fucking fat
>>4478488His dog is hot, his photos are bad. I take better shots with an EOS M and the kit zoom. You going to have to accept this fact.
>>4478493>>4478484>>4478491Proof?
>>4478495Imagine you're a gay furry in brazil and you see this being squandered by someone who cant take photos and ruins everything with nikon colors and dirty film... A vaca foi pro brejo...
>>4478483Sounds like the 5D IV meets your needs? But you said far lighter, idk, Nikon ZR?? That does slow motion very nicely, up to 240fps I think
>>4478499>your bad pictures are what define you as a photographer!Not the hecking practice shots! You should post the green and purple pig ones too lmfao. I suck at digital color editing and I happily accept that. I don't think I had the proper raw converter for my incredibly based MFDB at that point. Lol what a shit show it was trying to fix those dang pictures.Only retards believe huskyfag and me are the same person btw.
>>4478505The great thing about it is that almost all digital pictures are essentially worthless to me, so I really don't care. Digital cameras are my test camera and snapshitting cameras. It's not really that serious. I just like taking pics with big cameras, making prints, and sharing my photos.Just look how amazing this contact print came out. I used azo paper + amidol to make it.
>>4478507>The great thing about it is that almost all digital pictures are essentially worthless to meThat's fine anon, there is literally no issues with this, use whatever makes you happy for photography, but can you stop being a snarky slit about it and pretending it makes you better than everyone else because you don't shoot digital? That only "real photographers" shoot medium format film?
SHOW ME A FINER LOOKING PRINT YOU HAVE MADE CUNTS. YOU HAVE NEVER EVEN LAID EYES ON DMAX THIS HIGH OR TONALITY THIS FINE. I DIDN'T EVEN TONE THIS WITH SELENIUM.
>>4478502I wanted to upgrade to one of the later 5d's, but my life priorities changed changed quite a bit during that time and spending a lot of dosh on anything camera related has been out of the question for many years.I was actually thinking about something like a Fuji XT5 (most likely wait until the XT6 is out). It fits most of what I'd want.
>>4478509Never in my life have I said that. My opinion is that photography is not finished until a print is made. It's that simple. I'm happy to see anyone using cameras and putting effort into their photography.
>>4478511Idk how well the Fujis do slow-mo, X-T5 is a nice option though, it'd make more sense to do X-H2 however, your 5DMkII does internal RAW via Magic Lantern, the X-T5 does not, the X-H2 does
>>4478509Every single time some schizo has a meltdown and mentions me it is almost always made up bullshit and weird lies. It's quite amusing. I haven't posted a new picture of my dog in months and we got a gay furry saying all I do is post pictures of my dog. Doghair! You spread yourself thin trying too many things! 90% studio work, and occasionally I walk around and take a pic with my 8x10 that isn't studio work. I've taken less than or close to 200 8x10 shots in the last year. I could go on and on, but I'll spare you.My advice? You can ask me about what I think.
>>4478514Xh2s would probably be the best choice. I've just taken a liking to the xt5.I never used Magic Lantern on my 5dmkii. I just had that Cinestyle picture style that I shot video in. Worked fine for me, but I always missed not being able to get a 2.35:1 frame on the screen to frame it better. I always ended up using a bit of painters' tape on the screen for more serious stuff. But I was so used to framing in that aspect ratio that I could just eyeball it fairly accurately.
>>4478510wow a photo of trash
>>4478429>I naturally distrust any claim of a decade-old professional camera that's been used that littleBecause you are an amerifat.
>>4478515>I've taken less than or close to 200 8x10 shots in the last year.you must b quite rich then
>>4478499Imagine you’re a gay furry in brazil and you focus on droopy roachback leo. He’s not very attractive for a dog, at all. No wonder his wife is a fat white bitch.
>>4478521I shoot mostly fomapan100 that's like 5 dollars a sheet fresh, and expired ilford film I buy off ebay that's like 4 dollars a sheet. Fp4+, my love, doesn't show any base fog if it's stored well and under 10-15ish years expired. It really isn't that bad. I make my own developer that costs pennies per sheet to use. If you consider that I've spent probably 300-500 hours the past year actually shooting that film it isn't too bad for a little fun each day.I don't shoot 8x10 to btfo anyone. It doesn't and cant online because you can only upload 4mb scans lol. I thought this was obvious. No one actually cares when you show evidence of your epson v850 producing a 600MP+ scan either lol.I simply enjoy the process more than other cameras and it lets me make contact prints. Contact printing opens up a whole world of really fun alt process printing you can delve into that's extremely fun.>>4478517LOL IT IS YOU. AHAHAHAHA I knew it.

>>4478510Pretty bad. You should lean into what you’re good at and photograph your shepherd with his favorite ball. The basket ball.
>>4478524Very rude. His back and hips are more like those pics of old school GSD if you even ever cared!
>>4478527But WHY is it bad? Show me better in the same genre. Also good idea, but I don't have a basketball or a hoop, sadly.
>>4478529Because construction site cleanup core is boredom-relief art for hobos, not anything communicative or documentary. And your dog is african american
>>4478532Oh, so you personally disliking it means it is bad. Figured that was the case. Seems to always be the case on /p/.I think it is nicely balanced, well lit, texturally, and tonally rich. It is also meaningless eye candy, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. The meaning of a photo is entirely irrelevant on /p/. Visual interest and/or an adherence to the rules of photography or an appeal to specific and autistic taste by the individual nophoto is what makes a good /p/hoto.If you say a photo has meaning you get laughed at. You a gay clown or something?My dog is whiter than you are btw. Teehee. Post wrist, fag.
>>4478533nta, do you have the original image? I love macro crystal shots but your phone photo of a printout looks bad.
>>4478533> you personally disliking it means it is badIt’s bad because it’s literal garbage arranged in a square. It’s the kind of shit hobos and summer camp kids do with sticks, rocks, and moss. >my [visibly brown] dog is whiteHis fat wife sure is but L’eo is a certified nigga and exemplary of the diversity germany represents.
>>4478534Even tho it is a phone shot you can see how much better the print looks. Probably just a skill issue, but whatever. I dehydrated salt on glass and used my 8x10 to photograph it. It was really fun to hunt around for a nice composition on the glass plate. Tricky exposure as well, but I nailed it for contact printing.
>>4478538Cool I saw this picture and many like it in 6th grade science classToo bad you didn’t make something of the salt other than a "photo of"
>>4478537You're disgustingly pretentious lil bro.
What’s a better name for L’eo Germaine-Shepard’s wife?How about just Rosie O’Doggle
>>4478539See>>4478540You just sound like you hate photography. Sad!
>>4478543Your attitude warrants photography beyond just taking a picture of a thing. Fucking watercolor karens are taking it to the next level and sticking dehydrated salt to canvas to make snow while you’re shooting literal textbook material
>>4478545Again you are just a pretentious little whiner. NOOOO HAIRYDOG YOU SHOOT BIG CAMERA YOU MUST ONLY TAKE PHOTOS I DEEM IMPORTANT. I CANT CONTROL YOU SO I MAKE BIG STINKY! Photography is an iterative process for me, and I didn't want to iterate on my simple 8x10 salt crystal shots. Big whoop. They're technically well executed, and they do have composition to them. You simply do not like them because you're a pretentious little crybaby.Now. Show me one of your masterfully done, very important and creative photographs, please!
>>4478545Also the still life print I posted is more than just photograph of thing you retard.
>>4478548You’re right it’s a photo of several random things arranged but inchorent
>>4478549And? It looks cool, and it was a successful exercise. The coherency is in the composition and tonal balance. Sorry I didn't photograph a building corner or someones back for you bro.If I wrote an essay about the coherency of a photograph, had the actual god of photography say it was true and meaningful before photographing a still life you would still say, "Oh it's just some trash." You just don't get it, and that's fine nophoto.
>>4478553It’s a pile of junk
Josef sudek- egg and breadObviously his are way better than mine, but please feast your eyes upon one of the classic still life photographer's famous and well respected work.>Uhmmmm that's just bread and egg. I see that every morning when my mommy serves me breakfast! Just terrible!

>>4478576Why not? I think it's a little outdated now, maybe, but I like it for what it is. It's also really really difficult to get prints and lighting to the level he was able to achieve, so it's very fun to attempt to emulate his work.
>>4478579I'm simply mocking the nophoto. Join in on the fun and post still lifes of "garbage" if you like.
WaterglassCherriesbowlwheel thingwall in need of new paint. Absolute 0/10 incoherent trash garbage photograph.
>>44784055dmii was the peak of digital cameras designed for making the photo look as aesthetically pleasing as possible.After that sadly specs took over, higher megapixels or dynamic range became the thing that sells, all involve moving away from the image looking nice. 5dmii got so much shit for its shadows but looking back it renders shadow so nicely, and the fake ugly shadows that came in the future that only claim is they can be lifted 4 stops in post look fake and worse. 5dmii has inbuilt protection to stop ppl overcooking the raw by making it break.Also the 5dmii has quite heavily edited colours that look nice, not some word salad gimmick white balance thing all the modern cameras have that produce ugly looking colours. It’s all there on Flickr just compare the 5dmii group to any other newer camera to see for yourself.
>>4478589I like the s5pro for that reason too. They're pretty expensive for a 6MP camera tho.
>>4478589Shadow noise is fugly on the 5D2 and it also has lots of counterintuitive things.From the same era D700 is superior as a photo machine.
You can be as disingenuous as you want and dismiss any photo as "just a photo of (X)". Literally anything. Try it. It doesn't make for any valid form of criticism and, unless you're being facetious to prove a point, just outs you as being... wait for it... visually illiterate.
>>4478599BASED.
>Highest engagement thread the board has had in months>It's a mix of EF nostalgia, eggposting, furries, and the mythical pink pentax (also comes in yellow btw)
There really only ever was 3 significant cameras in all of history.The Olympus om1The canon 5dmiiThe iPhone.That was the 3 eras of photography. Everything else will be forgotten by history.
>>4478647Post the most significant picture from each era and maybe I'll believe you, cunt.
>>4478647I bet you're too afraid to watch a black and white film.
>>4478654DAMN zach you sent him straight to the emergency room with that sick burn. He will have severe scaring over 90% of his body if he even survives.
>>4478647>3 most important cameras in all of history>all 3 made within 15 years of each other>Photography has existed since the 1800sYes, the 3 most significant cars in history are the BMW 318i, Toyota Camry, and the Ford Falcon XR6
>>4478417z5 and other mirrorless produce soulless sterile crap. might as well use a phone camera
>>4478429>not an X-T30 or somethingXT30 fucking mogs your boomer blob, sorry idiot.
>>4478447Look at the photos from it. They nailed a digital full frame look that wasn't sterile but was still high quality. It went the wrong direction after that for digital.
>>4478633I am proud of myself for making this. I think people realize finally that the gear is just evolving to more and more sterile crap that isn't what makes a good photo nor is it fun to shoot with. Film might not be the answer for everyone, so the 5Dmkii is a good digital compromise before it all went down hill.
>>4478674/p/ is healing.
>>4478676By getting more fucking retarded? This thread is reaching disinfo levels of stupid. This is what happens when people with no talent keep trying to buy their way into a good photo until they hit a price ceiling and start contaminating their self perception with delusional nostalgia instead. >>4478668See this is literally fucking retarded. Unless you’re pushing shadows more than 4 stops every day it’s the same fucking camera as a d610 and all it does past that is not turn the shadows purple.
>>4478678Well... lets see it. Show us the truth with your photography.
>>4478678yesthe covid addition gearfags are getting extra stupid now, which means they are close to quitting photography or close to quitting gearfaggotry and being normal with an a7c and a 35mm f2.8all of their theories fell through, they are almost broke or fatigued from insecurity related to having $2k on a shelf when they’re not even good. this is their last ditch effort to purchase better looking photos. it is nearing the end.
>>4478679I don’t post anywhere near gearfag threads because my photos are recognizable. I don’t even post in gearfag threads from wifi in case one of the gearfags is a janny and peeps my hashed ip.
>>4478678Proof is in the photos. Z5 shots look utterly soulless. 5Dmkii has soul.
>>4478681>a7cThat's a meme. Just a parts bin camera with a crappier EVF. Might as well get an a7iii which is barely bigger and not crippled at half the price.
>>4478682Jannies can't see IPs, that's moderators which are the paid and (comparitavely) sane ones much less likely to do any funny shit with you.
>>4478682Oh, so your opinion goes in the trash. I had a guess that would happen...
>>4478685Yeah, this is what clueless gearfags say after browsing dpreview all day. But late stage gearfags that are running out of money or already tried the best camera they could afford and still didn’t get any better at photography. Not new gearfags who are still excited to upgrade. You are all the same. Every single gearfag is the same person. Yes, every one. From camera conspiracies himself to random anons on /p/. First you get into photography and suck. Your camera was not the best choice. Gearfags lied to you. It’s a bad, dated design, it has flaws, it needs to take the same picture twice or thrice sometimes because of the autofocus, it has mirror slap. Then you upgrade and get hooked on the thrill. You still suck but upgrade n sell is cheap, just a few hundo each time, and you’re getting better. And then you stop getting better. But you upgrade again. And you try the best camera you can afford to finally improve and go pro and you don’t improve. So you go down, seeking so called soul. You might get a d200 or a 5d classic/II. And no one notices or cares and your photos look the same, because all you ever saw in reality was that camera reviewers used to be better photographers than you. It is true, next you will either buy a normal camera, a step up from the "soul" ewaste, and just get good for once… or you will quit. There is an option 3, and that’s becoming someone known for a funko pop wall of ewaste and boring as fuck photos of benches shot with bad jpeg settings or badly converted raws, and talking about camera gear as an experience. This is the most horrid fate. Being a soiboi.

>>4478412>no I don't want a cheap camera that I can buy once and never think about again>I, like all non-gearfags are fawning over a brand new entry level model so I can begin my journey upgrading every two months instead of taking photosAnon, you should really learn what words mean before you try to use them, you're embarrassing yourself.
>>4478415The 6D is newer than the 5Dii and uses a different sensor.
>>4478416>every single one has clocked 300k+ on the shutterSo?
>>4478571>2x the money>no interchangeable focusing screen>worse shutterTrust this retard to recommend the only camera in the 5D series not worth getting. If you can afford a 5D iii just get a 5Ds or a 5Div, they're straight upgrades.
>>4478427>Prove me wrong. You fucking can't.God is spelled with a capital G, lil bro.Only a third world shitskin would get that wrong and then reccomend buying an entry level upgrade-bait camera under the guise of "le not gear fagging" Sorry, but your post is pathetic. Read a book and try again.
>>4478442You know you can move the camera anon?
>>4478538this image looks better than the phone shot of the print, thanks. I'll bet the print and even more the 8x10 contact looks amazing IRL. Always gonna be haters like >>4478539 but there are tons of cool photos in science books and it's sad if people "grow up" out of appreciating them.
>>4478450>Then Magic Lanternbros came and gave it hilariously colour accurate RAW video recording so you had a lot of the cinema people make movies with itLol and nikon retards and sony indians still don't come anywhere close 20 years later LMFAO
>>4478647I feel like the barnack leicas bringing 35mm film to a stills camera is pretty important.

>>4479306Well, no, Nikon cameras have internal RAW now
>>4478647>not even mentioning Graflexyou are the blackest retardest nigger I ever seen
>>4478405i agree you only rlly need a nikon d3500 and a zoom
>>4479861Fake zach spam.
>>4478405should i get the 5d mark ii for the absolute peak in digital photography or the 5d mark i for muh film-like portraesque 12mp jpegs?
>>4480522Get 5d Mark II because of Magiclantern.
>>4480522>absolute peak in digital photographyWeird way to spell D700
>>4480522Get the 6D and fuck magic lantern. It's less of a brick, has wifi, the Rendering is just as good (muh sperg out 5D ii colours bro) and you can find them in the same price and shutter range ML is only really needed if you plan to make videos. If you are about videography then it would be downright retarded to get a camera that old. For photography it's still a valid choice
>>4480522I'm about to snag a 5D classic for the muh film-like but also because the technology limitations force you to think creatively.You really can't crank the ISO without destroying the image, so you're forced to think harder about your shot instead of just going f/11 and ISO 12800.
>>4480623I wish ML was more useful beyond retarded basic shit.Imagine an actual remapper tool, so you could remap shit you never use, like the button to set focus points (pointless when only the central point on the 6D is ever worth using) to something more useful.
>>4480587offensively plastic tat with dogshit autofocus and colours. hard pass
>>4480522mk1 is pretty bad to use. mkii is the peak fs
>>4480645If that’s your justification then skip the 5d and go for a 1d/1ds, probably cheaper and even more limiting in that way. >t. Own both fun stuff
>>4480707>1dsAre about 3x the price for a thoroughly bashed one. And I'd rather stick a grip to the 5D than forever have to deal with the cube(tm) ergos.Funny because before I realised what I almost did, I had a 1D in my eBay cart ready to go and was like "hmmm, this is suspiciously cheap". Realised it's an APS-H sensor, but I was totally ready to buy one in good nick and for not retarded money.
>>4480652kek nikon was snoy before snoy
>>4480712Damn you’re right the market has gone insane I got mine for like 100 bucks which I considered overly expensive at the time for decrepitly old tech. Wild.

>>4478405Yes, the first two 5D's do have something special going on. But for me, it will always be the accurate and realistic imaging Nikon D2x and D3x.
>>4480587>Weird way to spell D700A good camera when used with the best classic Nikkors.

>>4478427this is completely true but everyone just wants to argue.
>>4487705Prove it. Post some photos.
>>4478427This is plain wrong. You just cant take a noticeable camera anywhere without getting robbed because you’re a tranny in a third world country. I imagine this is why /p/ in general is averse to “blobs”. They arent noticeably heavier in real life, just easier to spot and more expensive looking.
>>4487712any ilc ff camera is probably gonna have a fucking big ass lens though. thieves arent stupid and will recognize your a7c or r8 or whatever that said they're more likely to go after your phone or bags because its easier to resell
>>4487712>I imagine this is why /p/ in general is averse to “blobs”. They arent noticeably heavier in real life, just easier to spot and more expensive looking.That's actually because mirrorlessfags are into that whole Yale thing (closeted homos who do a lot of blow). Nobody normal minds the look of DSLRs, especially not Nikons.
>>4487706totally, you'll definitely give me a fair shake lmao
I bought a Pentax k10d, 10.2 megapixels, from 2006.And the pictures are literally good enough, you don't need more than 2006 tech to take a good photo.now it sucks at low light, but other than that? perfectly cromulent for daylight photography.
>>4487753Ignore the fag. For some reason there's this strong belief otb that you're not allowed to hold a stance without posting a snapshit along with it.>>4487754>I bought a Pentax k10d... and the pictures are literally good enough, you don't need more than 2006 tech to take a good photoCorrect. Newer technology is only needed for challenging lighting or video bullshit. A DSLR from 2010 is literally peak no-bullshit gear.
>>4487753Coward snapshitter.>>4487762Coward snapshitter enabler. Normally I would agree but not in this situation. Context, lil man.
>>4487766Show your slop first
I was able to snag a mark iii with only 500 on the shutter, so basically new. It's my second camera and the first I bought myself. My first was an eos 400d which feels pretty similar to the mark iii, just very slightly worse in most aspects and alot worse in build quality and storage. The mark iii feels great to take photos with; it feels great in the hands. It's kinda like how wearing a suit makes you feel a bit better about yourself than usual. Its a great camera to shoot on and very resonably priced. The mark ii would be the same except even cheaper and with no video (which isn't that bad cause the video on the mark iii is a bit poo). That said if money wasn't an issue I'd get a newer mirrorless, simply because they're smaller so I wouldn't need to carry a camera bag.
>>4487766Here's (You)r context spergillio.>How DARE you argue with me without posting a random photo you took within the last two weeks.>That one doesn't count because u-u-uhhh it's blurry! Aha! And it's boring according to my subjective tastes!>That's right I've won my argument because (YOU) posted a photo and I (the winner) called it shit first!

Nikon D4 master raceeverything else is high-quality top shelf copium>600 bucks for a mint one with low shutter count>weather sealed>10fps>can track a Russian Kinzhal missile at Mach 5>access to glorious Nippon Kogaku glass>no red ring tax
>>44878135hoe kept with his D4 for until like 2020
>>4487813If you are ok with the size, the sound, the weight, and you are someone who needs fps more than you need resolution, this is a pretty fucking accurate take. If you need subtlety, you have a sketchy back, or you're doing shit more like landscapes or architecture, there are better choices for you.
>>4478407It's happening now in prime time
>>4487813The D4 is a fine camera. But I haven't seen any reason to abandon my accurate and realistic imaging D2X.
>>4487813>>can track a Russian Kinzhal missile at Mach 5Not sure why you keep posting this but the autofocus is literally slower than an EOS 1n. Everytime you post a photo from this camera people tell you your shits out of focus. God damn this nigger is retarded
>>4487850>I stuck a slow focusing lens in a D4 and now I'm mad, what should I do? Oh, that's right, complain on /p/ that the D4 is slow!Skill issue.
>>4487859Personally I wouldnt buy a nikon DSLR because im not a retard or a child molester
>>4487862What a pedo thing to say
>>4487813cringe>>4487785based
>>4487866>vertical grips>duplicate controlsThe D4 has those things already and doesn't need a grip bolted onto it.>>4487849D2X is a very fine camera, if I hadn't got the scorching deal on my 4 I may have got one, I looked at a couple. I like the bigger screen on the 4.>>4487822I did get this for the FPS I do motorsports from time to time and things moving at speed. Realistically, you don't need more than 20mp unless you are printing super huge like above movie poster size.I have a D800 for landscapes and architecture and a D700 for underwater work, both very good all-rounder cameras. >>4487850Pic related if I can walk into Carmen's Black and White Bar at Speedweek and still get these guys in focus after getting fucking shitfaced on free margaritas from Vintage Hammer's gas-powered margarita machine and put down enough Jack Daniels to make General Ulysses Grant blush, the AF on the D4 is just fine.Calm your tits.
>>4488403>The D4 has a vertical grip minus the feature where you can remove itWhy does it need to be so big when an EOS 1n weighs no where near that much and focuses faster? Nikon lost. Canon won. Sorry lil fella, YWN be in focus.
>>4488403Resolution isn't just about printing big, it gives you flexibility when cropping. If the 16mp of the D4 does you fine then a 36mp would get you that with an APS-C crop, a 42mp body gets you a little over 1.6, 60mp gets you almost 2x crop. That means you can use smaller, lighter, cheaper lenses, or simply get more reach with what you have. Back in the day you had to make a choice between resolution and speed but that's not so much the case these days, at least to get an acceptable level of speed (matching the D4) because 20fps is largely unnecessary and just a skill cope.
>>4488493Resolution is also about recognizing that digital looks like shit. Bayer just turns small details into vomit so it takes like 30mp for it to look as normal as 35mm film.
>>4488495Could you share us a 35mm scan that looks better than 30mp digital?
OP is underestimating the cost of traveling and taking time off to do so. Buying some stone age camera may save you a few grand, but that won't get you very far. IMHO just buy a state of the art camera if you can afford it
>>4478405the 5d, 5dii, and 5diii are genuinely kinda shit cameras, closer to digishit "character" than just being a good camera, and nikon is always a better choice. for high ISO and shadow recovery these older canon DSLRs are nearly equal to micro four thirds, and sometimes slightly worse vs the newer more expensive m43s. if i wanted digishit quality i would use a digishit, not a full sized DSLR. the 6d, 6d2, 5div, and 5ds are all great for their price and mark the point where canon figured out the technical side of camera design. >then how did so many pros bla blafor most of the 2000s raw was almost never used by working photographers, and canon nailed their jpegs almost every time while having much better made lenses than nikon, and neat shit like IS on most of their lenses. eventually tech progressed and everyone was able to shoot raw all the time like they wanted to, so canon finally had to fix their sensor tech to continue being the best. it was also more normal for almost every DSLR user to use flash 90% of the time so high ISO was irrelevant. tastes changed and now every client hates flash and expects cameras to do fine without it.
>>4490725>the 5d, 5dii, and 5diii are genuinely kinda shit cameras, closer to digishit "character" than just being a good camera, and nikon is always a better choiceYes and no because >Canon nailed their jpegsIs a legitimate reason to want to use a particular camera. Like everyone going "omg the 5D classic is like shooting muh film!" is kind of half right; the JPEGs were tuned a way that people generally loved. That's a fair reason to buy one.Also,>tastes changed and now every client hates flash and expects cameras to do fine without it.Yes and no because anyone using direct flash does not deserve clients. You umbrella or bounce that shit at least. Ofc everyone now hates direct flash; the tech exists where it isn't necessary whereas before if you didnt your shots came out underexposed outside of broad daylight shots. Flash used creatively and intentionally looks great.
Canon EOS R6 Mark III + RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM is this a good choice?
>>4490735Fine camera, mediocre lensShould be prioritizing your lens, a fancy new body is only as good as the lenses you put on it
>>4490735>aps-c dr full framelmao
>>4490725>digishit character Meaningless term. Canon won because their cameras have good autofocus and Nikon does not. Canon has good colours that look like real life while Nikon has nasty green casts over everything, wildly different colours from camera to camera, even in RAW somehow. Canon has good tonality while Nikon has Rockwellian pushed HDR look on every photo. Canon has good professional services and well made cameras, while Nikon has the D600 and D810 (lol). You're not on some secret team for picking le slept-on Nikon, you're just picking the losing team that keeps losing because of how badly they suck and the absolutely number one pick for Redditors and Fat guys everywhere.
>>4490735are you finding out now this is /v/ with camerascanon = pcnikon = xbox/microsoftsony = sony fuji = nintendogo to a store please and find out yourself if you spend $1500-2000 on a new body they'll all take good pictures nothing is particularly bad as long as you dont get a olympus/panasonic/pentax/fuji
>>4490917What's apple?
>>4490917>canon = pcnope, canon is like an ipad with it's restrictive rf mount, Nikon is a true pc with it's big z mount with short flange distance that allows you to mount any lens with adapters.
>>4490917I’d suggest:Fuji - definitely Apple, because it’s more expensive and not technologically very advanced but sparks joy in its usersSony - most obvious PC. Tech leader for the past decade, but not intuitive enough for consoletards Nikon - Xbox. Used to be a console when there was still reason to buy consoles, but eventually figured out that they want to be PC insteadCanon - PlayStation. Still chooses to be a console, attracts consolefags because of itOM - Steam Deck or Nintendo. Shittier quality, but much more portablePentax - DreamCast. Basically dead at this pointHasselblatt - IBM mainframe/Azure server farm. Mostly only useful for a handful of commercial purposes, and about the same sizeLeica - a girlfriend with a phone. Great ergonomics, better than you at taking pictures, will empty your account

>>4491000Nta but people who use religion as their identity irritate me
>>4490989thanks. I proud myself of having a very positive outlook on life :)
>>4491000Don't really know much about Christianity (I'm from Syria). I'm just beginning a new project: Shooting churches in the Ruhr Area of Germany. The concept I imagine is "shooting the outgoing, old culture that is soon to be replaced". Just like some Christian would have shot pagan places of worship before they disappear completely and get replaced by a new religion.Same thing is happening in Germany and soon the christian places of worship will be all replaced. Inshallah
>>4491004Good attempt. You overdid it with the Inshallah the end. Otherwise it would have been perfect.
>>4491004Our body is the temple. We worship in our hearts. You can kill us, but our God will raise us from the dead. Every knee shall bow including yours. Piss be on mahmoof and gayshnu.
>>4491004Of all the religions to be fake, the one whose prophets claim to divinity is killing a few people, that uses a stolen syriac christian lectionary as its holy book, which through technicalities allows bestiality and pederasty, and through the hadith describes its prophet having tons of gay sex, makes mormonism look believable.

>>4491044Your rabbi messiah was jewish.
>>4491066Modern talmudic jews are not the aramaic/samaritan group of yahwists (the talmud didnt exist yet) jesus belonged to. So called jews today are modern judah diaspora and ethnic mixes, one specific tribe of jews that were declared forsaken anyways. The old jews were more like the paler, blue eyed palestinians. When you realize this you will realize why israel hates palestine so much. Imagine witnessing your fairer kin, once great among your people, fervently following islam to the point they will live in squalor and impotently toss rocks, not even accepting christ of the OG jews but following the messiah larping warlord of the arabs. It would be like white people coming back to europe and dealing with a bunch of aggro, uneducated hindu larpers. On top of that, white people bear superficial resemblance to some groups of the OG jews so there’s an innate racial insecurity held by talmudic jews when around whites. It would be like if, in this return to europe example, men almost in the spitting image of odin started coming out of china and preaching what was once said to be the true word of the god future white people once followed. It would be infuriating and frightening to the masses in this hypothetical.
>>4491044>Christ is kingjust as is odin lol? christianity is a religion of the past - like european paganism. it's the normal flow of things. your grand kids will go to the mosque :3
>>4491072Islam and paganism have these in common:PederastyHomosexualityBestialityRitual sacrifice and mutilationReligious executionsPolygamyAll of these things are universally bad for society long term and result in accelerated collapse. If islam is the future it will be first hacked apart and stitched together in a fascimile of christianity and muhammad will have jesus like statues erected in honor of an alternate, more palatable version of his life (vs the murderous pedo zuttslut)Either that or the jews and whites will hold hands for a sec, expel arabs, and import african christians instead (honestly, nigerians are smarter and less violent than arabs)
>>4491073well desu fuck islam. i'm not even syrian and I don't want this shit LARP to continue because it's not nearly as fun as bein a M43 fundamentalist. you can hold your horses - I just hate all semites the same :)

>>4491202the validity of islam as a religion, and muhammad al zutt’s validity as a prophet beyond acting crazy and paraphrasing a stolen syriac christian text from memory is entirely predicated upon winning and having won battles. muhammad al zutt never rose from the dead or healed the sick. he claimed god was with him because he succeeded in killing and stealing, and because he could recite from memory something very closely resembling existing syriac christian texts. the hadith describe him sinning and the quran describes demons speaking through him. these are things jesus never did. if muslims are so easily slaughtered by jews and lose every battle against every adversary more advanced than a hunter gatherer tribe, perhaps islam is not a valid religion, its cruelties were pure sin, and everyone who took the name of god as they did them committed an unforgivable sin. down to a man kicking the most pathetic dog in the name of god, every muslim has been forsaken by christ. may jews take the whole levant.
