there's literally a dozen of these and the last one is still on the front pagewhy
>>4531961Newfag retard lost too many arguments and wants to destroy /p/. it's entirely malicious.
>>4531961Bump limit. If mods didn't want this they'd make a cyclical but they know cyclicals are where boards go to die
>>4531964>newfag doesn't know how to pin threads
It's pretty cool that the NCIS bought Z6IIs when they could have used any other camera and the US government special ordered wifi-free Z6IIIsNikon Z = glowie approved
>>4531965>faggot wannabe janny will stay a faggot wannabe because he spammed his filters too many times
>>4531967Nice schizo cope newfag. Seethe more lil bitch boy. You're definitely in the right spot aka schizo cope newfag zone.Im just visiting to make sure everyone knows your intentions for spamming the catalog with gearthreads, newfag.
>>4531966I miss the Z6II. I complained when I had to use it, but looking back, it was a better camera (to use) than the sony a7v by a mile.
>>4531970You were warned and you dismissed it. The only reason to use a Sony is the only other choice being a Fuji.
>>4531972>implying I ever wanted to use an a7v for anything>implying i'd ever pay retail for an a7v>implying i'd handle an a7v that was my own personal propertyFuji makes the best travel and EDC camera, sony made the next best cope (a used a7c) but otherwise it's just megapixels: the brand
>>4531973>best travel cameraOlympus Stylus Zoom>b-but I'm an incorrigible digislug!!!TZ200>EDC cameraGay
>>4531976You wouldn't know. You don't take or post photos.
>>4531978publishlet
>>4531976>EDC cameraI am considering G100 for my EDC camera. It is so tiny but seems to not get hyped compared to similar size rangefinder models. Anyone tried/have one?
>>4531982For micro four thirds you're better off buying an older olympus. Panasonic cameras of any year are pretty bad.better yet, seek out an older canon eos m5. canon is worse in low light but doesn't have the green tinted colors of olympus.
>>4531982If I were going to do EDC, it'd be a press camera. Go big or go home.You have a phone.
>>4531982Lumix doesnt make good cameras
Got one of these today, really neat
>>4531982>Muh eee-dee-seeLooking forward to your snapshits of backs of heads and wallmart parking lots soon anon
>>4531996Who is the cute green leaf fellow?
>>4531986Is that the one with detachable remote trigger base? It's pretty cool but I have no idea how to use flash properly.
>>4532002It's not too difficult, and a really great skill to improce your photography. Shutter speed for ambient light, aperture for flash power. Take some pictures of something with a sunset in the background for practice.
>walk into local tavern near the bar & restaurant where I work>slam picrel on the table>"Whoa anon, that looks like a serious camera. I know of some local viewpoints you might be interested in.">"Dude... I remember dabbling in this in college before I ended up having to work for a living. I have a lot of respect for anyone that can make it big.">"My dad once had a REALLY nice Nikon - but he dropped it in the lake...">"Did you catch the exact moment that fucking asshole beat me at pool?!"Things I never heard even once:>"X brand will never bring you success.">"Digital isn't real photography.">"X brand is better at [poorly-cited niche use case] than Y. I'll follow you around and keep telling you this until you leave, then I'll call YOU the shill.">"Get away from me, you freak!'>"Let's have sex."I love taking photos, even if it's with a gay shitty Canon body.
>>4531986Is the silver dial on your unit also extremely crappy feeling?
Do you think we'll ever get a compact camera sensor with a dynamic range similar to human eye? For me it feels like we're already at a point where further improvements to resolution are not worth the effort, color accuracy is satisfactory and ISO performance is fine even for shooting at night. The only real limitation seems to be dynamic range of current sensor tech. Especially highlight retention.I'm sure medium format cameras are already getting close but those are not fun to carry around on a daily basis and are only reasonable for planned photo shoots.
>>4532005For real though, that lens can be your whole reason to buy Canon. Such a gem.
>>4532005>>"Digital isn't real photography."lmaoRENT FREEENTFREEIn all seriousness though, of course digital is not real photography.
>>4532002Yup, neat to have 1 flash I can TTL/HSS with all my brands of cameraYou should learn flash, photography is about light, and flash let's you control that>>4532022Nope, but I'm probably not as autistic as you to notice
>>4532035It's become a regular carry for me. It took a while to get used to, but I've come to like it a lot (used it for picrel and >>4529005). If I ever want to get away from Canon bodies, they make electronic EF adapters for mirrorless Nikon and Sony.
>>4532041>If I ever want to get away from Canon bodies, they make electronic EF adapters for mirrorless Nikon and Sony.Why not just get away from RF instead and even better, shoot film?
>>4531856It's not the security BS they told you, it's assumed that if you buy a professional camera you have a reader. It's faster so they don't have to add USB 3.0 to the body. It also prevents adding thermal wear to the body for no good reason. Shooting tethered is the only real reason to have an USB port on a camera. Everything else is a cope.
>>4532047Why not post some photos of your own and pretend like you actually belong here for once?
>>4532041These days it's this or my 70-200 f/4. GP zooms are gay, and I like being able to go super wide even if it means you actually need to be IN the moment instead of an idle observer.EF is the gift that keeps on giving.>>4532047>discussion is about an EF lens>Stray fires on RF for some reason despite there being lots of valid chances and reasons to shit on RF mount
>>4532055I've stuck with narrow focal lengths as almost a crutch for a long time, so I'm happy to finally break away from that particular comfort zone. I do still have an occasion for my 70-200mm though.
>>4532055Dishonest post, it's a RF scamera. >be IN the moment You're in whatever the camera's firmware claims to be the moment but you do you
>>4532071Holy shit cANON. At what point did you become more schizo than man?
>>4532084It's an ontological truth. The EVF shows a processed output. There's no optical paths between the scene and your eye.
>>4532084Dont replyuse the filterhttps://pastebin.com/diHque73some of the filtered posters have disappeared entirely since this list started going around and cANON has become increasingly unhinged. its working.dont forget, it gets updated when fags try to dodge it
>>4532064>I've stuck with narrow focal lengths as almost a crutch for a long timeSame here. I bought my first 28mm recently and I'm struggling with it a lot. Wide angle takes skill.
I feel digital camera ergonomics haven't been explored enough. What about a camera with a few sliders or physical switches, not just dials?
>>4532086>filters snoykek
>>4532089For you it may just be a departure from what you're used to. But yes, wide-angle is typically harder to do well with. Normal wides like 24-35mm aren't too bad. UWA is just nice to mess with because of perspective distortion. Idk how I'd do with a UWA prime like a 16mm because you don't really want every shot in an outing to look like that.
>>4532090Not enough space for that. Slider with short travel is useless. Toggles on cameras already exist see Fuji X100VI.
>>4532090For me, it's cinestill
>>4532095That's a switch that's meant to tell you it's a video camera with an optional still capture mode
>>4532110The healthy way to approach mirrorless. That's what they all are.
>>4532086These filters are based but people like >>4532055 replying to the retards makes using recursive untenable...
>>4532024The cameras we have rn already have too much DR
>>4532114Filters and its consequences have been a disaster for the feeble minded...I have over 350 tripcodes ready to go btw
>>4531957How about we actually talk about gear for once?>Tell us sonething you like and something you dislike about one of your cameras I'll go first:>Z6 (I)I love how much more ISO latitude it has compared to my old DSLR and that (being mirrorless) it can focus any lens perfectly without adjustment (my 85mm f1.4 needs a +9 AF fine tube on D800 and basically won't work on my F80, but on Z6 it nails the focus every time, wide open). I like its slow autofocus delay function for video. I also like that it looks like a little space station with the F to Z adapter.I absolutely detest that I have to click a function button to enter manual focus point selection. I hate that it takes a couple of seconds to start up (need to constantly "prefire" to be able to take quick shots in live settings), and I think that it's retarded it forces a 10MP crop if you attach a DX lens. I dislike that the EVF actually feels smaller than the D800 viewfinder, despite being physically larger(?). Might be because of the rectangular hole.And I dislike that it only has a single memory card slot. That's just a dick move, to force professionals onyo more expensive models.
>4532091>the fatass added the video to the filterLMAO nice oneIt's like watching Dorian Gray stabbing the portrait in anger
>>4532115Care to elaborate further? Shooting in a dark forest on a sunny day can be a nightmare. There is simply no way to not blow highlights and still be able to capture detail in shadows.
>>4532130We have a pet lolcow and you want to talk GEAR? Fine, I'll indulge you>Kodak Power FlashI love that it's cheap, not 28mm and comes loaded with 39 shots worth of UltramaxI don't like that it's not easy to reload
>>4532138>Kodak Power Flash>reloadWhat, you reload instant cameras?Why not just a get a point'n shoot?
>>4532134https://tiffen.com/products/tiffen-55mm-soft-contrast-4-filter
>>4532130Sony a6700.No joystickFor some fucking reason flashes, some accessories, and some lenses are more expensive than the other brand counter part. I m talking about 3rd party lenses and accesories for diferent mounts and syatems
>>4532148This has more to do with sony than my specific model
>>4532139I get disposables for the ultramax. Then I have essentially a free camera I can bring anywhere without fear of breaking it or dropping it. And it has an unique look too.What's not to love?Also disposable, not instant. Important distinction but I know you meant disposable.
>>4531984>You have a phone.phone's image quality is chopped and fake. I want physical controls + good zoom like pic related.
>>4532152An olympus would be better built and basically the same sizeolympus lenses are better as well. panasonic has poorer quality control, and panasonic lenses are the only ones that have ever caused a camera to glitch for me
>>4532151Yeah, sorry, meant disposable.I don't get it all though. Aren't disposables more expensive than buying a simple roll?And the optics are plastic, the flash is preconfigured, F11, etc.?And my F80 only cost me the equivalent of two disposables, while having full support for all my glass, with autofocus, VR and all.
>>4532158Kodak doesn't sell Ultramax 800 in boxes anymore. It's like drive shucking. >And the optics are plastic, the flash is preconfigured, F11, etc.?Part of the charm>And my F80 only cost me the equivalent of two disposables, while having full support for all my glass, with autofocus, VR and all.Yeah but would you take it in your pocket on a boat knowing it could be the victim of an unfortunate boating accident? The camera isn't just the body. If it falls it falls with lens which I'm sure cost more than the body. And you can't get the disposable aesthetics with a pro/enthusiast lens anyways.
>>4532159>Yeah but would you take it in your pocket on a boat knowing it could be the victim of an unfortunate boating accident?Absolutely. That's why I got F80 for 50 USD and not F100. It's more expensive to develop a couple of rolls, so I can treat the camera like a tool.
>>453216150USD, plus lens, plus the weird lithium batteries plus the film itself. And the setup ends up being cumbersome for the purpose. The disposable is phone-sized.
>>4532162>plus lensNo, I came from digital, so I have a lot of fully compatible lenses. Shooting modern glass on film is actually amazing.>plus the weird lithium batteriesJust bought rechargeable ones on aliexpress. 10 bucks, with charger.>plus the film itselfSure, but that's cheaper than buying a new camera for every roll.>ends up being cumbersomeThe camera itself is plastic and weighs basically nothing. If I slap an 50 f1.8 it is extremely small and light. I can also attach my all metal 1.5kg 70-200mm f2.8 VR if I like. Haven't done that yet, but using the 14-24mm f2.8 (1kg) on film is very fun.
>>4532164>Shooting modern glass on film is actually amazing.Are you willing to risk it though? I have an ILC myself but wouldn't bring it on the boat. >Just bought rechargeable ones on aliexpress. 10 bucks, with charger.That's actually very interesting, thanks for the tip. I was buying 3 packs of the regular ones on eBay. >Sure, but that's cheaper than buying a new camera for every roll. The disposable is basically a leftover from buying ultramax to me (which I shoot on the ILC)>The camera itself is plastic and weighs basically nothing.

>>4532167>Are you willing to risk it though?Already said yes. I'd bring my Z6 on a boat too without a second thought, for that matter. Cameras are meant to be used.>thanks for the tipNo problem - Those things are annoying and stupid expensive.>which I shoot on the ILCWhat's ILC?>For this application you need to have nothing heavy or sticking outHuh?
>>4532157I like that the Olympus cameras have 2 top dials and better build but the Olympus photos look overprocessed to me.
>>4532169>What's ILC?Interchangeable lens camera>Huh?It's a rowboat. I don't want it to alter my form or get hit with the handles when I'm rowing instead of taking pictures.
>>45321731: I wouldn't use dpreview for anything. Per their claims, everything on that page is just a raw processed in adobe camera raw (this alone makes sony and fuji look worse than they should and makes every camera look kind of bad really). They also do something weird with their lighting quality, use inconsistent lenses, have inconsistent exposure issues. Just don't use that site. It's useless. Flickr is more useful. Fredmiranda is more useful.2: Anything that is a SOOC jpeg issue is pretty configurable.
>>4531985thanks for the insightful input
>>4532180When it says JPEG it's SOOC JPEG.You want your fucking AI-reformed images, you can download the RAW and compare the output of your antichrist software of choice.You only shill against them as a way to shill C1.
>>4531982>It is so tiny but seems to not get hyped compared to similar size rangefinder models.
>>4532134Not everything needs to be seen, having an element of mystery in your shot is a good thing but you are trying to expose everything and show everything
>>4532115>>4532197that's copedigital doesn't have enough DR. linear sensors need more DR than the image actually uses for proper highlight rolloff and avoiding situations where just one channel clips and white turns purple. you're just used to digishit.
>Find good deal on a camera lot, included is a NFD 15mm F2.8 Fish-eye>Gets delivered>Inspect the lens>No scratches, minimal external wear.>Look closely at the rear>See tiny thingy>Turns out it's a small piece of metal shavings from when the lens was produced, placed dead center behind the second to last element.>No sign of anyone having been there before me, had to use acetone to separate retaining rings in order to remove debris.That's a first for me. Glad to put it into my collection though. One thing I don't like is how it forces you to use a built in filter. On the Minolta equivalent you can sort of put it in between them, but despite that it seems sharper than the Minolta. Thanks for reading my blog.
>>4532005I forgot to mention that I also have a 5DSR as a backup camera, but I leave it at home 90% of the time. I like my flip-out screen a little too much.
>>4532206Ever feel tempted by the 6D2?
>>4532208I used to have one of those too, along with a 5D4 and a T3i. I just use whatever works and whatever twerks.
>>4532211Fair is fair. I couldn't part with a 6D2 myself. Especially after ML support was added.
>>4532212I have a third camera that I keep exclusively for video, so that frees me to choose my stills cameras based entirely on their stills performance. I used ML for a stint in my T3i - it was the only thing that made it halfway usable for me, lel.
>>4532213Not just video, the interval shooting features and other stuff are amazing.And the snake, lol
Hmmm, think I might pick up a Zr soon.>>4532151>>4532158I went the Snapic A1 route for my film snappin
