I've been figuring out which camera body and lens to get. I want something that takes really nice pictures. Over the years I asked /p/ a few times, but each time they just ranted about consumerism and skills and how only the elect are worthy of nice things Can someone just give me some real world recommendations? Based on cameras and lenses you have or have used.

If JK Imaging ltd. is in any way involved, don't bother. Everyone else is more or less okay, depending on what qualities and features you value the most.

Get a (used) 90D for $900, or an R7 for ~$300 more if you want IBIS. Paying 40% extra for full frame is essentially pointless for a beginner.At the end of the day, you can't go wrong with anything Canon makes in Japan/Taiwan. Their Malaysia/Thailand stuff is junk though, but that's OK because it sells for junk prices.

I'm in the same position as you. Get Sony a6700 with sigma 18-50mm lens if you can afford it or a6400 with Sony lens. The reason why you want Sony lens in a6400 is because it lacks in body image stabilization and sigma lenses don't have it built in.

I only picked up photography a few months ago. My goal was to be able to do a little bit of everything (besides videos) for cheap so I could learn both what I liked to shoot and what different lenses were good for. I bought a Canon EOS R100 with both kit lenses (18-45mm & 75-300mm) a 50mm prime ("nifty 50") and a small backpack (lowepro tahoe bp130) for about $1k all together and started bringing the whole kit whenever I went anywhere interesting. So far I've been very happy with my setup. You can probably skip with 75-300m pringle can lens, it's not image stabilized so it's not great for sports or birds and the zoom is kind of overkill when combined with the crop factor of APS-C. It's neat to have because it can very easily do things that a phone can't (like take decent moon pictures) but going through my albums I found that most of the actual good shots were taken with the cheapo wide angle zoom (usually outdoors/daytime and wide DoF) or the nifty fifty (for indoors/night/bokeh). Up to you if the $200 is worth it to play around with taking spy photos of things/people from insane distances. Other than that I think the R100 is very easy to use, I basically shoot in manual the whole time and have few issues, occasionally I'll miss focus or have to take test shots to dial in settings, but usually the preview is enough to quickly tweak shutter/aperture and get what I want at the highest ISO possible.

I still have my t3i from 2014 and it works fine. My only gripe with it is low light performance on modern cameras is much better. I wouldn't concern myself with spending 5k on a camera when you can spend that on lenses easily. If you pick up a DSLR and take a bad picture it's your fault. Don't pay attention to retards who tell you to use your phone.

Imagine shilling for fuji in the year of the Lord 2026.

Do you have a camera already? If not how do you know you even enjoy photography? Answer: get something cheap and used you can find near you. Whatever's available. Options like

>Full frame with IBIS or it’s not even a camera - it’s a toy for incels to “photowalk” withThe benefit to FF is in low light conditions when higher ISO is needed, but you aren't going to be able to cope with such conditions on any camera without actually learning manual mode or at least exposure compensation.m4/3 shooter who actually learned to use their camera will produce better results than a full frame shooter who thinks he can fix a bad exposure in lightroom.

OP, R6 MII is an absolutely excellent camera. I don't even want to upgrade to MIII despite better video options (i might get C50 just as dedicated video camera).Autofocus is apparently second best to sony, but I still find it loses eyes all the time and has trouble getting them back, especially when shooting kids who are always moving around.
