I've been figuring out which camera body and lens to get. I want something that takes really nice pictures. Over the years I asked /p/ a few times, but each time they just ranted about consumerism and skills and how only the elect are worthy of nice things

Can someone just give me some real world recommendations? Based on cameras and lenses you have or have used.
>>
>>4505251
If JK Imaging ltd. is in any way involved, don't bother.
Everyone else is more or less okay, depending on what qualities and features you value the most.
>>
Get a (used) 90D for $900, or an R7 for ~$300 more if you want IBIS. Paying 40% extra for full frame is essentially pointless for a beginner.

At the end of the day, you can't go wrong with anything Canon makes in Japan/Taiwan. Their Malaysia/Thailand stuff is junk though, but that's OK because it sells for junk prices.

They really don't and you immediatly realize this when shooting with a camera for the first time.
You can't get the same image quality as a full frame or APS-C sensor with a smartphone-sized image sensor, it's physically impossible for many reasons. That's why the philosophy is to have a heavy post-process pipeline to try to compensate.

That's how it works. You've got to start somewhere. It's basically the meta in photography to buy used gear, and sell it back when you need to swap brand/mount or upgrade. It's far cheaper than buying new, and you will upgrade eventually, like everyone who does photography professionally or as a serious hobby.

Also, if you're a complete beginner, full frame or APS-C won't make a difference for you. Depending on the type of photography you want to do, there's no single camera that's best in all fields.
Want to shoot wildlife?
Sports?
Street photography?
Travel?
Landscape?

Your style and type of photography will dictate what kind of camera and lens is best for you, but that comes after you've picked up photography.
First get a cheap used DSLR with a couple of lenses and play around with that.

Some people cream their pants over the latest ultrawide super fast prime lenses paired with their R5 Mark II to shoot on the streets. Others do wildlife and instead will pray for a new fast (and affordable) telephoto lens or an APS-C with fast readout speed.
>>
>>4505255
First question you should ask yourself is what kind of photography do you want to do and when/how. That should drive your choice.
portrait?
macro?
landscape?
travel?
some videos too?
studio?
at night?

>top tier immediately
"top tiers" setups easily reach 30k+, are you sure you want that?
Also, high end gear requires great skill to take advantage of and skill >>>> gear.

Anyway, your pic is a good all rounder, it will take years before any update would add something meaningful.

>>4505251
I'm in the same position as you. Get Sony a6700 with sigma 18-50mm lens if you can afford it or a6400 with Sony lens. The reason why you want Sony lens in a6400 is because it lacks in body image stabilization and sigma lenses don't have it built in.

>top tier within the realm of my reality
What kind of schizo reality then? You don't even know what you what kind of photography you want to do and want "top tier".

The R6 Mark II is a very good all rounder, but the 35mm IS STM is an entry level RF lens, so that alone you will sell back to upgrade to a better lens in the future.
So why not trying out with a used camera that you can sell to get something better instead of insisting on spending 3K€ on something you don't even know if you'll enjoy?

Top tier in the real of wildlife are 20K€ prime lenses.

My RF 100-500 alone is 3300€.

By from MPB if you're in Europe or equivalent used markets, all the gear is checked by professionals. You can get a used D800 for like 400€. Or a Canon equivalent if you want to upgrade to an RF camera with your EF lenses.

A used D800 + a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART get you:

- one of the best 50 mm lens ever made, easily in the top 3
All for around 800€ used

Get a GR IIIx. You can get something bigger once you know what you want from your camera and you get to keep a pretty good pocketable one too.

Good news is, most new gear is pretty good, and just fine in the hands of a capable operator.
If you simply take the time to figure out what is important to you in a camera, what your actual needs and goals are, you wont have to ask others for help figuring out what you like.
>>
>>4505290
it is

sigma makes dogshit lenses optimized for sharpness that suffer from really poor color transmission and internal reflectance issues like contrast loss and haze in real world conditions. photographers who dont know how lenses actually work call the issue “flat rendering” or “lacking 3d pop”. accentuated by the fact that good mtf charts equal unnatural photographs. realistic detail loses more edge definition the smaller it is. thats how your eyes see.

use a normal sized lens not a fucking sigma fart bazooka
>>
>>4505295
>that suffer from really poor color transmission and internal reflectance issues like contrast loss and haze in real world conditions

>>4505292
Most gear is actually pretty bad. Cameras went pros only in the 2000s and became horrid and retarded for real world use. Pros are expected to deal with any stupidity. Consumers are expected to upgrade yearly.

Why, when the camera industry already implicitly admitted it was an issue by pouring most of their effort into lens coatings - AFTER those DSLR era sigmas showed that high element counts aren’t free lunch (sigma never really improved either)

>the camera industry already implicitly admitted it was an issue
You mean the camera industry implicitly admitted Sigma was right by forcing Canonikon to stop selling overpriced, soft 50mm lenses in favor of vastly improved designs.
>pouring most of their effort into lens coatings
Specifically because they tried to catch up by improving upon Sigma, and nano coatings became essential on simpler designs.

>photographers who dont know how lenses actually work call the issue “flat rendering” or “lacking 3d pop”.
Photographers who don't know how lenses actually work use three sentences to describe "micro-contrast" instead of just naming it.

>It's dogshit
Purely subjective. "Muh unnatural feeling of sharpness". Warning, we're entering the niggerlicious and LGBT-friendly realm of psychophysics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychophysics

>>
>>4505305
Sigma was right for who? The dying breaths of a DEAD field? Name any admirable photographers still working. Its all corporate slop, intern journos cropping to compose at the HIGHEST while the remaining serious professionals shoot medium format kit the “modern photographer” believes underperforms full frame (and does in sharpness, af tracking, etc) and cinematographers slap 20 flavor filters on an arri master to make it softer or rehouse a vintage SLR prime.

Photography is dead and you know it. Developments since have appealed to the camera equivalent of protestant megachurch “worship guitarists” - horrid gearfaggots with all the creativity of a rock, spending a grand a week while obsessing over the minutiae of GARBAGE under a microscope.

You think film is still alive because its better than digital? No, its alive because the standard for good in digital has been handed to complete fucking morons. Photography: sony G master edition is pure fucking irrelevance. The modern camera buyer is the most pathetic, balding dad-hobbyist on earth right now.
>>
>>4505257
Pretty much this, there's not much change from a camera made 5 or 10 years ago to a camera you can buy right now. Even a really basic brand new model is about on par or better than a top of the line camera from 10 years ago.

It is a good lens for the money, especially if bought used. Image stabilized, relatively fast, semi-macro. The only thing I don't really like is that it focuses rather slow, the chromatic aberration I can live with. No such thing as a perfect lens anyway.

Photography is one of those hobbies, where a lot of people pick it up and then drop it after taking 100 pictures. There are plenty of gently used cameras out the costing half of the price of a brand new camera. Even the people who do get into photography tend to devolve into gearfags and end up buying gear they never use

I only picked up photography a few months ago. My goal was to be able to do a little bit of everything (besides videos) for cheap so I could learn both what I liked to shoot and what different lenses were good for. I bought a Canon EOS R100 with both kit lenses (18-45mm & 75-300mm) a 50mm prime ("nifty 50") and a small backpack (lowepro tahoe bp130) for about $1k all together and started bringing the whole kit whenever I went anywhere interesting.
So far I've been very happy with my setup. You can probably skip with 75-300m pringle can lens, it's not image stabilized so it's not great for sports or birds and the zoom is kind of overkill when combined with the crop factor of APS-C. It's neat to have because it can very easily do things that a phone can't (like take decent moon pictures) but going through my albums I found that most of the actual good shots were taken with the cheapo wide angle zoom (usually outdoors/daytime and wide DoF) or the nifty fifty (for indoors/night/bokeh). Up to you if the $200 is worth it to play around with taking spy photos of things/people from insane distances.
Other than that I think the R100 is very easy to use, I basically shoot in manual the whole time and have few issues, occasionally I'll miss focus or have to take test shots to dial in settings, but usually the preview is enough to quickly tweak shutter/aperture and get what I want at the highest ISO possible.
>>
>>4505475
>You can probably skip with 75-300m pringle can lens, it's not image stabilized so it's not great for sports or birds
Try using a pillow between the camera and a windowsill or a table, it's still pretty bad a lens but at least it'll be stable
>>
>>4505251
I still have my t3i from 2014 and it works fine. My only gripe with it is low light performance on modern cameras is much better. I wouldn't concern myself with spending 5k on a camera when you can spend that on lenses easily. If you pick up a DSLR and take a bad picture it's your fault. Don't pay attention to retards who tell you to use your phone.

You are REPOSTING a LIE again.

You literally tried this before. You’re hoping someone who doesnt know how cameras work will fall for it.
>le sooc video defaults when i push shadows in video
Who the fuck does that? Who the fuck cares about that? Are you seriously using video quality as a stand in for raws stills, when video is essentially a jpeg/heic sequence and has limited editing lattitude?
>the moire is purple!
I found your problem: adobe camera raw is shit and dpreview is crooked for using it. Here’s how it renders in an industry standard raw editor. Dpreview used to and likely still does skew their tests by secretly underexposing and overexposing select cameras and changing the ACR presets they use to make the so called raw and jpeg, assuming adobes poor support for many raw formats does not skew the tests for them.

https://www.captureone.com/blog/fuji-x-trans-sensor-excels-in-capture-one-7
And here’s a note that xtrans actually has the same moire problems, just on patterns other than the ones dpreview tests.

/p/ lies. A lot. You lie. A lot. You repost lies. A lot. I believe you, or rather, various employees who work with you, have been persistently shilling against the a7c since its release here.

Who pays you guys? Panasonic? You guys hit on panashill talking points like open gate being a standard or necessity (its not) and the a7v lacking vidtard uselessness like that so I’m thinking its panasonic.

Now despite the palanq.win lookups anyone can do showing how often you repost shit verbatim you will say “meds schizo crazy conspiracy theorist” like your script says to, right? How about you take the L instead you fucking shill?

CFA produces moire effects when there is no AA filter. It does not produce an overall color shift.

Actual solution is to get a camera with an AA filter, or a camera that has aftermarket AA filter available.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9hvb4vKJnY

AA filter won't fix Sony's chopped color. Magenta cast is there regardless because their RGB sensitivity is unbalanced especially at lower luminance.
Sure, you can spend time wrangling it to look balanced, but why bother when you can just use any other camera brand.

What this poster is spamming over and over again is an issue with the demosaicing algorithm used by adobe camera raw. Everything he said is literal nonsense. There is no magenta cast or “chopped” color. And you wouldnt see it in moire. You’d see it as a consistent issue with white balance requiring plus green to correct. He is posting the way a specific program tries to handle moire (and fails).

I posted a timestamped video where the guy who normally shoots with Sony complains about the magenta cast.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3l0HDGh7PM&t=1087

>There is no magenta cast
The horse is black not purple.

>You’d see it as a consistent issue with white balance requiring plus green to correct
You do - it's disproportionate in the lower luminance levels, which is obvious in CineD's IMATEST plots and frame grabs.

You are conflating two things.

One is raw IQ as poorly rendered by adobe camera raw on dpreviews most useless page (the studio scene)
The other is pushing exposure in a processed video format and auto white balance.

These are totally unrelated.

Video is compressed, tone mapped, and drops 4-6 bits off the original data. Its basically a sequence of jpegs. It isnt meant to handle extreme exposure adjustments and if you do not set white balance manually in video you WILL have random cool, warm, magenta, and green casts with ANY brand. I have a 5div next to me that randomly adds green ffs.

Case closed: you’re not a shill. you’re a really dedicated actual fucking idiot.
You dont know how cameras work.
You probably don’t use them much.

You probably don’t even understand what I’m explaining because your ONLY experience with cameras is watching shills mess up their white balance settings and screengrabbing the WB fuckups that fit your console war.
Actual. Fucking. Idiot.

The magenta cast is always present in camera output because Sony botches the color at the basic fundamental level
switching to OOC jpeg shows the same thing,

You are making up an issue that doesnt exist by picking and choosing from information you do not understand.

You dont even understand that the lighting isn’t sunlight. you think dpreviews studio scene uses sooc jpegs (you literally can not read). You cant download the raws and see them yourself because you dont have a raw editor or know how to use one. You dont know what you’re looking at because you don’t own a camera. You dont know what white balance is. You dont know what lens color cast is. You believe in “color science” and pixel peep 5 stop shadow pushes from iso 800 and think you’re discovering something.

You are either a very dedicated actual fucking idiot or a jeet shill.

Everything you post is disinfo.

They offer OOC JPEGs, JPEGS with their RAW processing, and the RAWS.
if you were smart enough to download the OOC JPEG and check the EXIF you would know that.

>dpreview says

You dont even own a camera. You dont know what you’re looking at.

You dont even know how lens cast works or that the 55mm zeiss has colored vignetting
You dont know what white balance is
You pixel peep 5 stop shadow pushes from iso 800 and use nonsense words like color science
You are either seriously fucking stupid, like you have an IQ of 85 or so, watch camera youtube, and then start talking incessantly, or you are paid to be this stupid and are actually a malnourished pajeet.

Pixel peeper isnt an insult because you shant dare care about the quality of your camera.

It’s an insult because some people are stupid enough to make up retarded theories while zooming in on notoriously inaccurate and unrealistic test shots where the tester has 12 different ways to fuck up accidentally or purposefully while keeping (editable) exif realistic looking.

Download some nikon z raws they overexpose them sometimes
Download the raws this retard is talking about and realize acr sucks and dpreview fucked up the white balance
>>4505695
They shouldnt even be using the 55mm to test cameras anymore. The sony/zeiss lenses all had ass QC and weird issues with copy variation. Some had green corners some were decentered some had ridiculous CA.
>>
>>4505695
Logic isn't your strong suit, so let me help you out:
>The visualisations of Raw data (and the accompanying [RAW export] downloadable JPEGs) are based on a standard development process using Adobe Camera Raw.

The non-RAW JPEGs are OOC. If you were smart enough to download the OOC JPEG and check the EXIF you would know that they are OOC.

>>4505697
>dpreview fucked up the white balance
I guess the videographer in >>4505674 also fucked up the white balance in the exactly same way. What are the chances!

Default color is botched. Maybe fixable with a custom 'Picture Profile'. I was considering doing that before I realized Sony's bad color is only the tip of the iceberg of Sony problems.
>>
>>4505674
>a one sentence comment in a 25min video where the speaker still ends up preferring and using the Sony anyways, and after giving it praise for the grading capability too, and apparently it was too small of an issue to even mention in the conclusion either
Sure sounds like a big problem

Do you just link random stuff to make a point? Nowhere in that article do they find it relevant to mention color, magenta/green, white balance, etc.
>Sony’s new a6700 APS-C camera performs very well in the lab. Rolling shutter values are OK, dynamic range is on par with a lot of other consumer cameras for the APS-C as well as for full-frame sensors, and the latitude results really show the capabilities of the new sensor/image pipeline and robust all-I 4:2:2 10bit codec. This size/price/performance ratio is hard to beat!
Not an issue to mention in their summary either.
>>
>>4505782
Here's a better example,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bnAimJhwKs
Shows the difference in color profiles clearly, has a few A/B comparisons, and offers solutions as easy as adjusting white balance or just the RAW profile used
>>
>>4505771
1: they are not OOC. ALL images in that useless test are generated with ACR.

And yes, auto white balance does fuck up predictably, like canon DSLRs predictably adding slight green tints to blue heavy scenes and magenta to green heavy scenes because that is how cameras work.

Once more

Its a nocamera nophoto paid shill. He reposts the conversation starter and then lies out his ass by relying on youtubers and dpreview to look like a photographer.
He has NO photography experience and can not interpret the one screengrab/one line youtuber shit properly because he does not know how cameras work and just relies on youtubers doing everything right (they don’t)
He doesnt even have photo editor software and thinks dpreview is a trustworth source for image quality tests (anyone with a raw editor knows they are not, and never have been, and have always been improperly exposing cameras, botching white balance, and despite their infinite budget sticking gear they like with great up to date glass and gear that doesnt come with enough reviewer kickbacks with 12 year old low cost primes)
Like why are they putting a cheap ebay special 55mm on the newest sony and a $1200 leica branded prime on the newest lumix exactly, knowing that lenses are the primary determinant of color rendition and resolution?

If he is not paid to post all his disinfo and willingly comes to /p/ to lie about cameras despite not even owning one he is seriously mentally disabled. Like christian weston chandler developmentally delayed.

OP here

What about this:
Canon EOS R10 + RF-S 18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM
>>
>>4505841
will it make better pics than the latest iphones?
>>
>>4505376
there are hundreds of different cameras and lenses, it's impossible to figure this shit out
>>
>>4505843
it's best to buy something used/cheap to get some experience with.
This will inform you of what you like and don't like.in a camera.

Micro 4/3 is the oldest mirrorless format so you can find plenty of used bodies/lenses for cheap. The shooting experience doesn't differ from newer mirrorless (as opposed to DSLRs from back then which shoots differently with the optical viewfinder).

All of these come from that camera or lens, and I'd say is arguably better than most of what gets posted here
Truth is though, they could have come from a dozen other similar bodies or lenses and it really wouldn't make much difference
You gotta start somewhere, and eventually you'll find what you like/dislike and what actually matters (or doesn't) for you
>>
>>4505841
Its pretty shit.

Remember, just because someone could take A GOOD PHOTO on some gear doesnt mean they didnt pass up untold shots, have to reshoot something 5 times in max fps burst mode and spend an hour deleting dupes and checking sharpness, end up cucked by a phone when someone important to them wanted their picture taken in conditions the camera couldnt handle, or end up forced to haul tripods, flashes, and even graduated filters (ugh).
Anti-gearfags or anti-consumerists or whatever they call themselves, people like >>4505858 can be ignored. They’re usually poor, or autistic losers who do photography all on their own as a lonely pseudo-contemplative activity like painting for people without souls or talent.

I’m assuming you have a soul arent autistic and will take your camera into and along with an actual life where you wont want to get cucked by your girlfriends phone or have to make excuses for why you cant take a good picture of something without carrying max strength pussy repellent.

You need full frame and IBIS. These are mandatory features for a camera not to legitimately struggle and fall behind smartphones in real life photography. Just get a nikon zf or something.

>>
>>4505860
>no retort
Just because "A" or even "some" good photos could be taken does not mean many more could not be or turned out better on a phone.

Imagine cucking out on a tenth rate camera when you can afford to cameramog phonecels. Couldn’t be me.

This is the truth people who spent big on junk like dslr ewaste, oversized film formats, fuji and micro four thirds hate to hear.
Maybe those people should pipe down and go photograph their dogs (again).

You have contributed little to nothing of value while only succeeding in starting useless arguments. You have only been a net negative to people's discussions here, and you clearly don't want to stop. You're too fucking deluded to see people's responses as anything other than a platform to rant some more and I'm beyond fucking sick of it. If you do have any valid concerns, then you don't deserve to have them taken seriously.

Yeah at high noon with a tripod kekkeroni

>Full frame with IBIS or it’s not even a camera - it’s a toy for incels to “photowalk” with

The benefit to FF is in low light conditions when higher ISO is needed, but you aren't going to be able to cope with such conditions on any camera without actually learning manual mode or at least exposure compensation.

m4/3 shooter who actually learned to use their camera will produce better results than a full frame shooter who thinks he can fix a bad exposure in lightroom.

No. Unless youre shooting f/1.0 on a FF mirrorless brick, modern day smartphones are 99% as good and will even take better pics instantly as they dont require manual editing.

OP, R6 MII is an absolutely excellent camera. I don't even want to upgrade to MIII despite better video options (i might get C50 just as dedicated video camera).

Autofocus is apparently second best to sony, but I still find it loses eyes all the time and has trouble getting them back, especially when shooting kids who are always moving around.
