Almost 20 years of technological non-progress. Canon sensor from 2008 Sony sensor from 2025Sony controls every brand but canon. If they buy sony sensors they are defacto banned from directly competing with sony’s top sellers. They never do. s9? Crippled. All fuji? Crippled with worms and bad autofocus. The closest anyone came was nikon’s Zf. Nikon is not so surprisringly breaking from sony and using RED sensors (towersemi) in the future.Blackrock owns a major stake in both sony and canon. Curiously, its like canon isnt allowed to directly compete with sony’s top selling cameras (a7cII and a7cR) either. The R6V had its shutter and evf axed so compact FF buyers would have to go sony or accept inferior functionality.Sony has directly caused the stagnation and ruin of the camera industry.Nikon, Leica, Sigma and Panasonic are all seeking alternative sensor suppliers to get away from sony’s corruption and extortion. Canon, unfortunately, is linked to sony blackrock and they are 100% telling canon not to hurt the value of their share of sony.If sony thrives, photography withers and dies. Break from consoomerism. Buy used DSLRs until nikon, panasonic, leica, and sigma have more non-sony sensors on the market.>the great green evil: Sony, Fujifilm, OM System, Hasselblad >accomplice to evil: Canon >the resistance: Leica, Phaseone, Nikon, Panasonic, Sigma

I need a travel (city, mountains) all-purpose zoom for sony FE to pair it up with a fast prime. I'm currently a poorfag so I can't afford the 20-70 f4 which would be near perfect, nor the 24-70 f2.8s. I like the compactness of zeiss 24-70 f4 but I keep reading it's kinda meh optically. 24-105 is supposed to be good but it's bulkier than tamron 25-200, so why not just get more range. any opinions? my head hurts from deliberating over this

TRUTH: Zoom lenses should be discontinuous. They should only include three focal lengths of excellent quality, instead of a range of mediocrity. QUESTION: Which three focal lengths would you include? For me it's 24, 35, 85. >Your last post number decides your Better Davis for tomorrow

Should I be putting UV filters on my brand new lenses to protect them? Right now, I just leave the lens cap on when not shooting, and always have the lens hood on when shooting.

Lens switching is for complete amateurs. Always have exactly as many cameras as you have lenses. I don't care if you're to poor to step up your game. Sell your superfluous lenses in order to equalize your body:lens ratio to exactly 1.

Looking at the state of this thread I'll most likely get shitposted to death but fuck it, whatever I'm in the market for a camera after my old ass sony rx100 shit the bed, I'm mostly looking for something small(ish) to do basic bitch travel photography stuff but now I want to have interchangeable lenses, budget is $1k-1.3k ABSOLUTE max for body + lens from what I could find my best options seem: >refurb Olympus e-m5/e-m1 mk iii's for 700-800 and then I'll have spare cash for lenses >slightly used sony a6600 + sony's 18-135mm oss for a grand >new canon r10 + 18-150mm is stm also for a grand >a refurbished sony a7s ii for a grand but then I'll only have 200-300 bucks tops to pick up some kind of a lens so far I'm leaning towards either e-m5 (fairly small, weather sealed, good lenses from what I hear but dead platform and people seem to have a hateboner for mft) or sony a6600 (also quite small, somewhat weather sealed, good battery, platform isnt dead) a7s ii seems quite old and bulky and then I have almost no wiggle room for lens selection, e-m1 in my eyes kinda loses to em-5 due to being bigger, and canon r10 while on paper might be good, lacks any weather protection and also looks bulky Thoughts? which one should I go for?

I have a A7RV with several lenses that I use as a hybrid so around 60/40 photo and video. Mostly trips, family events, my son. Of course the quality of photos and videos is great and a pleasure to look at. But I often find the camera a bit too big and "too in the way" meaning that it attracts attention. And as much as I try to always bring it anywhere, there are those moments where I just leave it home because I don't wanna bring a bag. Recently I looked through my old Pentax Q files. Quality wise of course much worse but it worked well enough to bring back the memories and such. Even the videos. And that camera was much more of a joy since it was a real EDC.So I kinda seek for a smaller setup. I guess I can sacrifice the image quality if it's for less weight to bring. The Ricoh GRIV must be nice because it has this Pentax Q tininess, even smaller. Only problem is that it can't film in 4k and that is something I want to keep.. and not sure about the fixed 28mm. I'm also looking at the Fuji X-E5 with those cron lenses. Looks pretty small but I wonder if it's EDC small or does it still require a bag..? Such a pitty that Pentax buried the Q line.

Bought this 6 stop ND filter that I screw on my lens when filming. But it's always a pain in the ass if I do lots of photo and then video alternating. Am I supposed to just leave it on the lens and increase the iso for photos during the day? How would you do it?

I just went out birding for an hour and I blew through 1000 shots on my new R7. I was using low-speed continuous drive, and the mechanical shutter Am I retarded for thinking this is too much wear on the camera? Apparently the R7 is only rated for 200,000 mechanical shutter actuations? So 200 more outings like this and I need to buy a new body?

Are those Voigtländer Noktons worth the price? They seem to have that "magic" rendering from 1.4 to 2. By magic they mean blurry, not sharp, low contrast and lots of flares. Sounds quite bad but apparently it has a unique look that is still loved by quite a few.My question is just.. is the image quality any different compared to those 100 bucks chink lenses? Pergear, 7artisan, etc.

I met a 5DII user on a hiking trail yesterday. They seemed economically well off but they had a beat to shit camera and probably the shittiest 50mm f1.8. And they looked exactly like this.I asked them why they used such an old camera. They said “well mirrorless is like, kind of a downgrade man. cya” and then pulled their dog off my leg and left, probably to go take a photo of the only thing that’s out there: rocks, pine trees, and geese.Vintage DSLR shill phenotype. Remember it well.

Is the Nikon Z8 still worth it? The Sony A7RV is cheaper used, higher res and same DR. Z8 has faster readout and burst. I shoot a lot of Landscapes now with a 24mp camera and would like some more detail. I also want to get into wildlife photography. Should I stick with my Z system or switch to Sony? I've used both in the past and prefer Nikon's color and menus. The recent news of Nikon falling down is also putting me off from investing more into the Z system. If you have a Z8 please give me your feedback!

Mirrorless is the superior tool for accurately capturing a scene which is an undeniable fact. Mirrorless with exposure simulation active allows the photographer to do real-time comparison between what they see and what the camera sees for adjusting camera settings until it's a match. This is necessary because the way that light affects the human eye versus a camera sensor is very different, especially in low-light scenarios.Yes, you can do it with some DSLRs in live view if you have a LCD loupe to block light pollution, but the back displays are generally low contrast LCDs which are far inferior to the OLED viewfinders that most mirrorless cameras have. You could also hook up a good quality hooded field monitor to a DSLR, but for the price and inconvenience you may as well go mirrorless.For beginner photographers on a budget I recommend going for used micro four thirds or fujifilm since they will not be stunted in their learning by getting stuck in obsolete DSLR workflows/habits like spending hours on a boomer PC paying insane amounts of money to edit the raws.
