been a while since my last.
I've actually downgraded to a canon 550D...
its my first canon camera, despite the limitations, I really like whats called a 'colour' profile, Ive been nikon for a decade, fuji a short time(I hate its greens i.e landscapes))
I'm now looking to upgrade my new but old canon, with the available lenses I have.
ISO, is a big issue for me, and this 550d...struggles..grrrrrr
*anyway..
I love lots of peoples pics, whether its phone or camera...some of you should actually sell yersels as hot fuck glamour in my book lol |

I have seen the extreme macro the T series has too...very impressive for a small sensor |

I use an old Nikon D5200. My friend used to do photography, and it was his. He passed away so I can’t bring myself to upgrade it. Sounds daft, but love taking pics, especially mx, using the camera he used to use in his early days.
It’s not a bad camera though, had images published using it, so it’s doing ok for me xx |

I felt like photos taken on p20 pro and mate pro are way better than standard startup cameras... never gonna compete with prof cameras but certainly worth more than 400-600€ cameras i feel.. |

Old canon myself as far as dlsr (650). With any camera is surprising what you can bring to life with a little Photoshop with only colour manipulation. you can get great shot from a mobile and it's always to hand. Totally agree there are some amazing potential models here.
Perhaps it's the photographer in me but a lot of pics on here I just think "reeeaaallly you are so much better than that" |

To my the uploading doesn't matter. Most people view on mobiles or laptops. Unless you have a colour calibrated monitor your never going to get the true picture if you'll excuse the pun. Colour make a picture to me. The detail is just the background.
I'll take a peek. Only got a Flickr account myself. |

I might get the 200d...they fucked me up for whats best lol xxxx
it is all about the lenses...best camera and a shit len...is shit
shite camera with best lens: you need to know how to use it
*old lenses are amazing, some rival modern and at a MASSSOOOVE fraction of a price, you have amazing image quality.
Its a shame because in my opinion after owning fuji xt20(loved), its colours aren't quite the want...the greens are terrible... |

I am a wedding photographer. Sometimes boudoir and portrait ect.
I use two canon 5d mk4s. And have 2 70d's as back ups.
You cant beat the mk4 for Iso. I can hit 6400 without any noticable noise. Stick the sigma 35mm f1.4 and pitch black is barely an issue. |

I highly recommend https://www.cameraworld.co.uk/used-camera-equipment.html
Buying second hand gets you far more for your money, they also provide a six month guarantee.
I've bought loads of gear from them over the years and can't recommend them enough. |

Landscape & Motorsport are my passions - bought a Nikon D3300 a few years back and my love for photography has snowballed year on year from there. Ive very much outgrown it as I feel the camera is sometimes a limiting factor for me and massively regret not stumping up the extra few hundred for a 5300. Persevering while i keep investing in glass then ill either make the jump to full frame or bottle it and buy a 7300! |

I've used a Nikon D3300 for the past couple of years and I've still yet to fully master it. I'm really enjoying the whole learning process though. Taking pics can be fun and it's amazing what you can achieve and quite a buzz when you take something half decent. I just wish I had more to time to spend doing it. |

Bought a 300mm sigma lens a couple of weeks ago.
The weather lately means I haven’t used it, managed to get some pretty decent shots of the moon tonight.
It’ll make me better with my camera as it only works in manual mode, so no auto focus or settings on aperture mode etc.
Want to get out and try some wildlife shots when the weather clears up |

I have a Cannon 450D and 750D, I have shot weddings, modelling shoots etc on both. I haven’t really done much lately so I should get out and do some more.I am a bit of a photoshop geek as well, I will happily spend hours tweeting a photo.
The problem I have is what to do with them once they are done? There is only so much wall space for hanging photos so I have terrabits of harddrives filled with old photos! |

Just seen this thread.
I'm looking to get a decentish camera, mainly for taking pics of people.
I want to spend up to £350 and don't want to have to upgrade after a year or two because it's too basic. Happy to go second hand if needs be.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? |

I was the same when I bought my camera, i went for a Nikon 3400, it’s now been replaced with the Nikon 3500 so you could probably find a 3400 well under your budget.
If you want a few examples of the quality of images you can except from the 3400 then feel free to message me and I’ll attach a few examples of landscapes, wildlife etc. |

i bought a D3400 and honestly regret it - not because its a bad camera but simply because with in a year i found it too basic for my needs. I still have it and still shoot with it as its my only camera and im more concerned about investing in more lenses but with the powerful tool of hindsight i should have gone for the D5300 or 5500 as it is now. |

"i bought a D3400 and honestly regret it - not because its a bad camera but simply because with in a year i found it too basic for my needs. I still have it and still shoot with it as its my only camera and im more concerned about investing in more lenses but with the powerful tool of hindsight i should have gone for the D5300 or 5500 as it is now."
most people who take it seriously go through this mate started with an old D40 traded for a D70 now shoot with a D7200 also built a good selection of lenses and kit as i have gone along next step is to go full frame and that is quite a big one for now gona stick with the D7200 and hone my skills

In what way is it too basic? |

I've worked with a lot of photographers and seen lots of cameras.
My husband does photography and has shot a few models
There is a definite increase in quality of photos with a increase in camera equipment but that would more likely to be due to the keener photographers spend more.
Google the term "guy with camera" it's a phrase models and photographers use. I have worked with some and you can tell all they want to do is see your pussy. |

lily gets hoards of them wanting to shoot with her we soon learned how to filter them out mind you we know of a few bigname photographers who can be just as creept and lechorous seen and heard of some horrendous behavior towards models from some of them |

So this is very personal to me but its too basic on two fronts. For Landscape photography I do a lot of Long Exposures (90seconds and beyond) Focus Stacking and Exposure blending and the lack of in camera bracketing can at times be very frustrating. I find the lack of a useful histogram really annoying too. i also dind the view finder isnt that great compared to other cameras ive used.
For motorsport the camera is just too slow when shooting in continuous mode and even slower at actually recording those shots to the memory card. Couple this with a lack of in body stabilisation and it can make for some very frustrating afternoons at race tracks.
im not saying its bad camera, but my plan is to switch to a 72/7300 asap then once im happy with the lenses i have ill probably switch to a Full Frame once funds allow it. |

I've loved the responses so far,
I know this isnt a porn channel, I know some people actually even like photography as a hobby(like me that likes bugs n landscapes etc).
Surely fab can make a new forum?, I'd say its more interesting than a politics forum |

I agree mostly. Though I do think having these high end cameras, super hot eye focus etc, might be killing actual skill. I can hand hold a lot of macros that others cant, on another camera I could take 100fps to try making sure i get the focus at at least a few images.
dynamic range is one thing I do love about modern digital photography, but I do forget sometimes what appears on my screen is not what another sees(especially in a print), pixel peeping might not be a great avenue to consider photography.Some of the greatest pics known to man never needed such finite observation. |

Agreed - i pride myself on being able to get what I consider to be pretty results from on pretty bog standard equipment.
Love your photos btw |
