"I use both Canon and Nikon gear. I inherited a D810 with a couple of lenses. I've always had Canon kit since I started out with it yonks ago." I saw your earlier post about having canon and Nikon and did wonder why as doubling up on lens would be prohibitively expensive for most people, inheriting makes more sense  | |||

These people have no interest in learning how a camera operates, the exposure triangle etc & getting full value for money from their purchase. | |||

Its like Apple vs Android and there is Windows and whatever else, or Nikon vs Canon and whatever else.
"Then there are those of us that wouldn’t pay the exhorbitant prices of canon or nikon, especially for full frame gear. Not knocking those 2 makes as good cameras just that what I paid for my body and big lense combined was still cheaper than buying a canon 1dx body " | |||

"I shoot mainly sports photography and use AP as my preferred mode." Generally speaking Aperture Priority is my preference too, but often when shooting sports outside, and importantly when weather is consistent and not changeable, I will use Manual as it means if your framing is slightly off the camera has no scope itself to meter off of anything else (like bright or dark kit worn by players). | |||

I use a 85mm 1.4 a lot. outside I like to used a 100m 2.8 prime. that gives amazing sharp images with great bokah. get your location sorted, a nice window with good natural light or somewhere interesting outside. if you use flash never use on camera flash,always use a diffused speed light plan your poses for the model. get your model to look on line at poses.the shape the model makes is crucial to a good image. look on art nude sites for inspiration, never look on here lol. | |||

Then again, lot of people would consider themselves to be pros with no formal training. I would love to arrange an outdoor photo shoot with a lady or couple but never know how to approach people. Plus a lot of people claim to be photographers so no one believe you when you offer pro images" thanks I will sometimes use av mode. iso in auto. always in RAW and a smallest jpg to quickly scan through when home. I like to play in ps and lr and camera raw. also googles nik is good for some stuff. orange and teal is what I like this week but that will no doubt change again. | |||

I had a sweet set up in my last job where I only had to buy the body and I could use all their lenses. Some 400mm set 2.8 beasts as well! We're beautiful! I'm documentary and a photojournalist so I'm as interested in the Larry sultan style side of it where I'd like to do a project in clubs or at dogging locations to show the true story. Lighting and location are definitely a good start. Off the camera flash is something I'd work my way up to. Keep shooting on manual, work hard with photoshop and experiment. I've got a degree and masters in photography and still feel like I'm learning | |||

"I got into Astro photography a few years ago and after buying a couple of very wide prime L glass lenses I could never afford to move from canon even if I wanted to." Ohhhh that's something I've always wanted to try. I know what you mean about moving - once you buy into a system, there is too much invested in it to change to another brand. | |||

"Under my adult alter-ego I used to shoot on a canon XH-A1 not 4k, he 4k wasn't even a notion. Used to take lots of frames out of that. 640-720 res to show what was in the scene was amazing. Still had to shoot stills but you could bulk out on frames. I'm currently using the 5d MK2 for video as don't shoot that much any more. " 5d mkii was the go-to camera of the indie film maker not so long ago, great video iq...

"There is a percentage of Ironman 2 shot on the 5d MK2 too. My pet hates is also my main love with video, sometimes I'd love some sort of tracking for the focus other times I love that it's locked as it stops you being lazy and zooming. The MK3 has the AF but I wasn't bowled over. Some of the small hand held cameras now are outstanding, the days of xh/xl and ob size shoulder mounts are over. What do you mostly shoot video wise ? That's a pretty good selling point, effectively reshooting without reshooting. 5d mkii was the go-to camera of the indie film maker not so long ago, great video iq... One thing I really like about 4k is you can shoot wide and zoom/pan in post, and still output full res 1080p "Video af on the Nikon cameras is a tragedy .. I end up manually focusing and keeping a small aperture, shame because you miss out on the cinematic look, shallow dof ... Panasonic g7 af is brilliant, you look at the video in post and it is just in focus without any hunting... Mostly I shoot sex videos with my wife Juliana .. actually that's all I shoot  
4k is great bc you can get wide and close up I need another 4k cam for getting reverse angles .. I also got some continuous lighting, but I need more (always need more light!) | |||

"I am just starting out and just bought a p600 is it worth taking a course or should I just get out and start snapping " A course does not develop instinct for each scene, go out and shoot everything in sight until it feels second nature, Critically review your shots and remember no photographer outside of a studio gets 100% great shots. It is all very well talking about exposure and aperture but if you are not in a studio the scene has gone by the time you select manual. Manual is great if you shoot in the dark or in weird lighting or static shots (and I do regularly). Auto is great for catching the moment and sports/fast scenes just focus on the composition. You should practice manual and program modes on static stuff then you still have that option when you get better at the basics. A photographer makes a picture, the camera is just a tool. I have been doing photography for 40 years and about 25% of my stuff is good and 5% exceptional according to my friends and I am perfectly happy with that as I am not a pro. I use Nikon D40, Sony DSC-W800 and Experia E5, cheap photo LED light and a tripod. | |||

"There is a percentage of Ironman 2 shot on the 5d MK2 too. My pet hates is also my main love with video, sometimes I'd love some sort of tracking for the focus other times I love that it's locked as it stops you being lazy and zooming. The MK3 has the AF but I wasn't bowled over. Some of the small hand held cameras now are outstanding, the days of xh/xl and ob size shoulder mounts are over. What do you mostly shoot video wise ? That's a pretty good selling point, effectively reshooting without reshooting. 5d mkii was the go-to camera of the indie film maker not so long ago, great video iq... One thing I really like about 4k is you can shoot wide and zoom/pan in post, and still output full res 1080p " | |||

"Instead of doing a photo event townhouse should just let one photographer do a documentary project over a couple of months. Make them part of the scenery and get 'Larry sultan the valley' style images. Include portraits and tell stories of the people who will talk about scene.

"Glass is the main thing but a good body helps. I have a ff canon and compared to the crop I had it's a different beast. The focus is so quick and colour seems so much better. Not to mention the other bits it can do also. I only need a 135 prime now and I'm lensed up. Canon or art though mmmm" Not tried the Sigma, but have the Canon 135mm f2 L and it's so bloody good. Best lens I've had really, with the exception of one of the LF lenses I had. | |||

"I still remember the first time I used the Canon EOS 1 NRS or RRVSJFKFK some letters, used it at photofair in Manchester. It had a semi-pellical mirror which didnt move, and could go throu a 36 frame film in a few seconds, it was so fast. I think I'd like to see that back for digital, mirrorless isn't for me yet..." Pellicle mirrors were coo, but when canon can get 14fps out of the 1dx MK2 with a normal mirror then there isn't much point in a pellicle version. The Sony A9 can do upto 20fps with compressed raw, and no mirror !! | |||

"I still use Canon and have done for 18 years. Admittedly, Nikon has surpassed Canon with its sensor and the whole mirrorless fad is there to keep the geeks at the edges of their seats. At the end of the day, cameras are only tools and if I can’t shoot a great picture, I’m not getting booked and when you’re working in the advertising field the stakes are high. M " Mirrorless is hardly a fad. We have had allsorts of cameras without mirrors for decades if not a century! Canon making the 5dmk2 video capable with liveview showed that a mirror isn't really needed for most photography. And the latest bread of mirrorless cameras form Sony and Fuji are showing that they can compete with bodies sports togs usually use. I think in the next 5 years you won't find a conventional DSLR from anyone other than say the top Canon and Nikon bodies aimed at sports/action and those who don't want to change. But cameras like the 5d's and d800's will eventually be fully mirrorless. | |||

" When I bought the 5d mk2, and sometime after, there were concerns the prolonged use of mirror up, direct sensor exposure could shorten the lifespan of the sensor. " Not noticed any issues other than more frequent cleaning. My 5dmk2 is still happily working, even using LV a lot. The 24-105mm died a lot earlier! I just wish Sony would implement the shutter closing when the camera goes off so that it keeps some dust at bay on lens changes. Most still have shutters, though even those are becoming less needed with electronic shutter improvements. Look at the Hasselblad x1d. No shutter in body, and can use adapted lenses without shutters in ES mode. | |||
