This has backfired, ok, I lied, it is a camera I already have, but I lied about it because I didn't want to give it away easily, I wanted to see what others thought about the sensor size and the aperture.
i came across this blog few days ago,i must say u guys are doin a great job,,hi mshafik,please i have some few question for u has someone who has had a canon adventure goin from 550d to 5d mark 111.i have been using a canon 600d for 8month now,en most of my night pictures dont always turn out good just becos am not lazy to learn about using flash,i got to this blog searching for TTL articles.en am really impressed,my fist question is i wish to move to full frame just to be able to push my iso really up to get a good pic at night,.2,do u feel moving to a full frame feel better than crop sensor camera,am not a pro,i only take pics of my 2 kids en family parties,all am thinking these days is goin full frame,or i should just keep using my 600d en learn more,thanks
i was thinking canon too,u guys are doin a great job on this blog,i came across this blog ffew days ago,hi mshafik i really enjoy reading ur canon adventure goin from 550d- 5d mark 111,am presntly using a canon 600d which have had for 9month,something in my head keep shoutin full frame since the last 2 weeks,has u have been there before what was ur experience like,my man aim is i want to be able to shooting very high iso for night pics,am not a pro ,i only take pics of me en my family,3 kids en wife,i do like swallow dof that full frame brings,pls i need ur advice,thanks
Hi mayor, more ISO (even if cleaner than what your 600D produces) would not improve bad light conditions, sometimes high ISO would help in low light conditions to get a certain mood or a feeling of the available light, but that's not always the case.
You already have a good camera, and my advice would be to get a cheap fast lens like the Canon 50mm f/1.8 or the Canon 35mm f/2 (check my reviews on this blog), it will help you get much more light than the kit lens (I'm assuming that's the only lens you have), and it will give you shallower depth of field as well.
Next step is to learn about lighting and you might add a TTL flash later (Canon 430EX, Yongnuo 565 etc...), you can use it to bounce light, or use it off camera wireless.
When you get the most out of your system and you're certain that you're not satisfied with faster lenses and more lighting, we'd talk again. :-)
Full frame has a certain distinctive look especially with fast lenses, but the cost jump would be significant.
iphone 5? :)
ReplyDeleteNope :)
Deleteit is not possible to say which camera you used with this size sample
ReplyDeleteAt least have a go at the sensor size, focal length and aperture used.
DeleteHer skin tone looks very similar with something a Canon would give you... Yet, you don't shoot Canon. Or do you?
ReplyDeleteNope, not a Canon, not anymore, but that is high praise indeed.
DeleteGiven you have abandoned SLR and you already have a compact RX100 and m43 OM-D, my guess is something different say X100s?
ReplyDeleteThis has backfired, ok, I lied, it is a camera I already have, but I lied about it because I didn't want to give it away easily, I wanted to see what others thought about the sensor size and the aperture.
ReplyDeleteIt is taken with the RX100 @ f/4.9 and ~ 70mm.
oops, thought you meant a "new" camera..
ReplyDeleteYou're right, I wrote a new camera to prevent comments choosing between the two cameras I already have.
DeleteIf you see the full 20MP picture, you will be quite impressed for the performance of such a small camera and sensor.
