MadManMike Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Nikon D3200 seems to tick the newbie boxes, it's a bit newer and can be picked up pretty cheap these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Anyone here have any strong opinions or experience with mirrorless cameras? I am considering a Fuji XT-2 with 35mm and 50mm primes as a lightweight travel setup. Not selling all my DSLR gear. I will be trying out a friend's one next month but wondered what people's thoughts are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC12345678910 Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) Target acquired. My face whilst pressing that blue button felt it looked like this. Now I've got that same nervous buzz that you get in the aftermath of oh so nearly eating it when you miss the front wheel on a sidehop or heading straight towards a tree on the mtb at point blank range Edited March 3, 2018 by CC12345678910 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it weren't @Tony Harrison's special friend. Landed on a canon 60D as it retains the movable screen of xx0D canons and has some of gubbinsm weather sealing and features of the 7D DrEvil recommended, making what I believe to be a nice middle ground and all rounder. Got a 17-85USM lens, charger, a spare battery, all the booklets/discs and a lowepro bag to boot. Hopefully that'll do until I work out what I want next - actually it'll have to as that's all my spending pennys gone til the 25th!

DrEvil270183 Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Hate leaving a link but much easier than posting a load of images. Went to a car event for a change, mix it up a little bit. So many photographers just sat on the same corner, all together and not moving. So many messy backgrounds and poor use of light. I'm certainly no amazing car photographer but pretty happy with the odd one. Link Here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Finally bought a mirrorless setup after spending a bit of time around existing Fuji X-T2/XPro2 owners. Not used it much but it's such a lovely piece of kit with sensible controls like on my old Olympus OM cameras. I'm still keeping all my Nikon gear and it'll get used for more 'rugged' adventures, but I really hope to make a lot of use of the new toy. Also took a punt on the LowePro Utility 100 bag which is a good option for a mirrorless body and a few lenses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEvil270183 Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Heard great things about the XT-2, know quite a lot of wedding photographers who now use them all the time. It's an interesting time watching what Fuji and Sony are doing. I keep seeing people jumping ship to Sony. Where things will be in a couple of years who knows.

I've finally edited these photos (4x5s exposures) together after having them lying on my drive for 10 months... I'm never that keen on editing photos sadly.

Herbertlemon102 Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 took a few snaps of my 500cx. love this thing. incidentally, anyone know what the best canon mirrorless to go for would be? starting to look into them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEvil270183 Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Don't think Canon has a proper mirrorless yet but something is being released soon. Nikon just release one finally but it's only got 1 memory card slot so that's a no go. Keep looking at the Sony a7iii or a9 but not sure I can afford to change it all. They do look amazing though, especially the a9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 It's worth looking at the Fuji X-T2, really really good camera. Very impressed with it, despite not using mine as much as I should've by now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do look amazing though, especially the a9. The number of people that have commented on the 1 slot thing, saying stuff along the lines of "They never used to have 2 slots", is driving me nuts. Yes, they didn't used to have 2 slots, so what? We do now. We didn't even have cameras full stop, so should we just not take photos? It's such a backwards comment. Fact is, 2 slots is standard now and for very good reason, so Nikon not putting them on that camera is a daft move that will lose them customers.

Tony Harrison Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Certainly for kit that's aimed at advanced amateurs and pro users... two slots or GTFO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 As someone who doesn’t know shit about photography, why two slots? Are we talking just about a fail safe or to swap writing between each of the cards or something for speed when shooting in bursts? Forgive my naivety, just interesting to see strong opinions on something that doesn’t seem obvious from the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topsy Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 It's a failsafe for most. I always write to two cards simultaneously if I know that I'm shooting stuff I can't recreate a day or two later. I wouldn't want to touch a camera with just one slot for any kind of serious photography, especially not if delivering photos means getting paid.
