I asked chatgpt to recommend me a camera, considering I never had a real camera, but want a great one nonetheless.It recommended:
Both the Nikon Z50 and Canon EOS M50 Mark II are exceptional choices for beginners aiming for professional-quality pictures. They offer great image quality, versatility, and the ability to grow with the photographer's skills.I wonder if this is actually good advice or worthless ai slop?.

Anybody here has any feedback on the Fujifilm 16-80mm F4 lens? Some reviewers love it, some say it sucks at the wide end, others say it sucks at the long end.I think the focal length is great for travel and I'd also benefit from the relatively close minimum focus distance for food photos. Ideally I'd just have it on all day on vacation and not carry anything else; I can switch to a prime for the evening/night if needed. Mostly interested in general travel shooting (including landscapes) and some food photography with strobes. I currently have the kit 15-45mm (excellent between 15-30mm or so, bad after) and a Viltrox 35mm 1.7 prime, which is very sharp. I am using an X-T30ii body, but might be interested in getting a 40MP body down the line (maybe in a couple of years or more).

I'm gonna do it lads, I'm gonna consoom the z6iii. I was torn between it and the z7ii, because they are currently the same price here in bongland. I mainly do landscape right now, so the z7ii seemed like the right choice, but there were a couple of reasons why I'm leaning towards the z6iii. Many years ago /p/ memed me into buying a Pentax, so taking pictures of moving things is pretty difficult, and I'd like to give it a try. I think the z6iii is a bit more flexible in that regard. The received wisdom is that you need the higher resolution for landscape, but you really don't. 24 is fine. Sure, higher might be nice, but if it comes at the expense of flexibility, I'd quite like the flexibility instead. Also, the higher resolution evf is really nice. I did consider snoy, thinking an a7riv(a) might be the best of both worlds, higher res, nice evf, functioning af, but I tried it on and just didn't like it as much as either Nikon. Looked at the z8 too, but I can buy either the z7ii or z6iii plus a lens and a cfexpress card for the cost of just the body with a z8.Anyway, thanks for reading my blog.

Just bought myself an EOS 7 yesterday. Already have my hands on a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM but after doing some research I wonder is the EF 35mm f/2 worth it?As a serious cyclist of a few years now I've been dabbling with bikepacking more and more and generally enjoy taking a lot of my photos when out riding - typically just with my phone now. I am well aware the camera body itself is pretty large but I'm still drawn to the somewhat compact size of the lens, on top of the relatively cheap price and the focal length being well suited in my mind to the scenery and landscape compositions I tend to shoot.pic semi-related- not my bike or photo but a comfy scene imo

Alright fellas I'm done with my piece of shit camera that refuses to just connect to my phone wirelessly for some reason (a6500). I'm also tired of having to edit RAW files. I'm going into simplicity because I just want to have fun with the camera, not earn money.

Someone teach me about TTL
I have a Nikon d5200 and 3 Amazon basics flashes (without TTL I think) that I (when I use them) trigger off a radio dohicky on the hotshoe.How does TTL work?
Does my camera need TTL flashes to use TTL?
Presuming yes do All the flashes need to be TTL?
Does "the" TTL flash need to be attached to the hotshoe, or can it be radio?
What if I don't want the light to come from center at all?
If multiple are needed, do they just slave, or is radio good/bad for them?

Never had a "real" camera before but I picked this up recently to use instead of my phone for stuff.Can't really complain for $150 CAD so far. Only issue I've encountered so far is sometimes the images come out looking like the colours were all inverted but I can't tell if that's a skill issue or not.

About to sell my Nikon gear with all lenses to fund my first Leica M11-P. Not 100% sure if that's the right move but I have zero motivation to use Nikon. Just like my prev Snoy it feels like a computer. So effortless to use that it takes all the fun away. Clumsy UI, huge ass lenses. Ugly camera body. I always need to carry a bag because it strangles my neck if I have it hanging around a whole day. I've tried the X100VI for some weeks but the images are a pain to work with, probably because of that ant sensor. I photograph only as a hobby when traveling, meeting friends/family. The short time a wageslave like me has for freetimes activities.. i rather wanna enjoy it as best as possible. I only read good things about the user experience of an M so I wanna give it a try.

Is APSC really that bad? I'm looking forward the GRIV Monochrome that is announced for this year. That monochrome sensor apparently is much sharper than the usual aps-c sensor and you can crank up the ISO by a lot with no issues.On the other hand there are also small full frame cameras like the A7C. Sure, not a monochrome sensor, but you can always shoot in b/w or edit in lightroom. And it's full frame. For purely b/w is there a winner in overall image quality? Would it be apsc but monochrome sensor or is it still better to have a color full frame sensor and just shoot in b/w?

Fujifilm cameras suck. Autofocus as bad as a 2nd gen nikon mirrorless. Build quality as bad as a SNOY. Colors duller than a panasonic. Xtrans blurriness puts the D750 AA filter to shame. Tiny sensors, with even worse DR on the 40mp models. For $2000, they should be perfect.Sadly, the statement "for $2000, they should be perfect" literally sends the corgi rapist into a blind rage.

>but what about the 5 stop shadow recovery and iso 25600 DR!? what about af-s consistency on a macro test chart!
meanwhile 100 years of legendary photography was done on split screen slrs, rangefinders, and 1 to 9 point autofocus systems without issue and photography got oversaturated with worthless snapshits as soon as mirrorless happenedit makes in focus bokeh shit accessible to retards who think they’re photographers, but are actually closer to being camera salesmen and reviewers with a button pressing hobby

How is the Nikon 50mm 1.8? I only have the 40mm f2 and I enjoy it but sometimes I look for more perfection, more sharpness and that 50mm focal length. Was also eying the Voigt 50mm f2 apo which is probably(?) the sharpest 50mm for Z but I don't know if I can manage the manual focus.. especially since I do video too. But its smaller size and overall look of the lens is nice.

I just bought a Nikon Zf today and I don't know where else to say it. I'm excited.
I bought a Fuji x100vi two months ago as my first aps-c size camera after shooting only full frame for 15 years.
I liked the x100vi, but sold it again.
Maybe I just suck as a photographer and used my tools wrong or not good enough, I could honestly tell from the first couple of photos I wasn't really into it. Thought I just needed to set it up properly etc. but I just didn't like it.
I'm never going for anything smaller than full frame now.

have a pentax kp came with a 35mm f/2.4 autofocus, and cause it was cheap and old and looks cool a 200mm 1979 manual focus lens. I'm gonna be taking wilderness pictures and right now I find everything I take with the 35mm doesn't look good and everything on the 200mm looks awesome its just impossible to actually get anything in frame have to be shooting across water or at an individual bird etc. I'm just wondering what would be the best slightly shorter then the 200mm option and what do you think the best option for shooting in a dense forest almost feels like I need something more pulled back and wider to really capture what is feels like to be surrounded etc
