DSLR Shots and Discussions

Ah, but you see, I would live in the Tri-Cities area or Pullman. Only go to the evergreen side during the last two weeks of July and first to weeks of August. Desert the rest of the time. If I lived in Pullman I could go down and drive the Old Spiral Highway all the time.

Anybody have experience with mirrorless cameras and how they compare to DSLRs? I'm looking at possibly getting a Sony a6000 to replace my Canon SL1

Sony Alpha a600

They allow you to compare image quality side by side with what ever camera they have data.

We use GH4's to shoot 4k video. Excellent quality.

Best buy is having a sale on the 24mm and 40mm pancake lenses. Which would be better for a t3i? I'd like something I can use for photos of my son but also a few city shots now and then.

Shot this bad boy Friday night. Beautiful curves but for the price I would much rather get a GTR.

Okay i have a decent collection of Canon glass.
Camera body is a Canon 60D. The 70D wasn't much of an upgrade.

1. What's the next step up on the Canon model range?
2. If i'm moving from a 16mp sensor... is there much room for improvement? (besides iso)

Thanks all!

If you're in a position where your skill has improved to where your 60D is limiting you, the next step is to go with either the 7D Mark II or the budget friendly full frame 6D. Nothing below that will be any kind of upgrade over the 60D. Higher end camera give you more focus points, better low light sensitivity, more usable ISO (emphasis on USABLE), more flash control, and better ergonomics, amongst other things.

Most people are limited by their lenses more so than their camera. What kind of lenses are you using currently?

Hey 6SPD, thanks for commenting...

Lenses are as follows:

• Walk-around: 18-135mm
• Zoom: 70-300mm
• Prime: 35mm F2.0
• Wide: 10-18mm

Any thoughts?

good info!! I've got a Canon T3i with the lens that it came with. I've been shooting here and there for the past year and got some good shots off with it, but I'm pretty sure the lens is my limiter at this point. My problem is I'm lost when it comes to the equipment. I have no idea what to get as far as upgrading the lens.

I usually shoot in 2 different scenarios...
1. Car shots, of course!
2. Active shots at Endurance Sports Races. I have a coaching/training business for athletes and a team that helps raise money for animal shelters

So what would be the recommendation for the next lens to buy to further my skills????

thanks!!
Brian

I was in the same boat but did had a Canon T3 (starter camera) 17-85, 50F1.8, 28F1.8, 55-200. Since I just bought the two lens this year I didn't want to go full frame. But after contemplating awhile, I ended up with a 6D and 24-105. No regrets because I'm no open to expanding in the future.

The quality is phenomenal. Of course the 6D is no comparison the the 5DMIII but I always liked to go with a decent camera body and invest the money into the lens. Hence the T3 before.

I sold the body and three lenses then picked up a 16-35 F4. My favorite so far because its perfect for car photography. Looking to add a 35F1.4 for specialty shots but the 28F1.8 covers that for now.

Yeah man, so if you want to keep the lenses you currently have, then you shouldn't get the 6D, or any full frame body, as the 18-135 and the 10-18 won't fit full frame bodies. My honest suggestion is to keep what you've got and invest in better lenses if you are looking for better image quality.

IF you want to just spend money, buy a 6D with the 24-105 and you're set. Can't beat it, really.

Bought the 24mm pancake lens recently but haven't been able to find an infant to take photos of. I know it won't be as good as the 40mm but it seemed like the better walk around lens.
