  • Not a review. Not going to do one. Here's a wrap-up of my thoughts on the a9 after three shoots with it.

  • @nickaspectfull3878
    @nickaspectfull3878 7 років тому +14

    Great vid. Back in your digital rev days, you were the reasons I got into photography. Being a 15 year old makes my budget far smaller than most. I have an income of only 20 dollars a week from doing weeding and mowing for my neighbors. Because of this, every purchase I make must be a smart one. My parents wisely put all my birthday and Christmas money into my college savings so I really only have that $20 a week. About two years ago I ended up buying a used canon t3i and a Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3. This allowed me to get the feel for what I enjoy shooting without breaking the bank. Overtime I’ve ended up buying a decent tripod, extra battery, variable nd filter, and some other small things. Now that I have had a good amount of time, I have learned what excites me the most about photography. I love landscapes and portraits. I don’t know if I should stick with my t3i and upgrade to a decent 35mm or if I should do extra work and try to save up for a nicer (possibly mirrorless) camera.

      Nick Aspectfull hope u went with the glass cause that is really what matters the most and it will last forever

    • @xmlthegreat
      @xmlthegreat 6 років тому +1

      Nick Aspectfull hey there, this is a bit late, but I'm in the same place as you. As regards body vs. lens, the purchase decision is all up to you. It should depend on what is holding you back. For example, I have a Canon EOS 1200D (basically the same camera as yours I think), and it has crap AF, poor low light ISO performance, a small battery, no articulating screen, no touch. It works well for landscape and daylight shooting in general, but if it's indoors, dark, and close quarters, the performance is terrible.
      My opinion is that there are two sets of requirements in photography: what's needed for the camera/image, and what's needed by the photographer. Basically, lenses and filters and lights and so on, are requirements of the camera which captures the image, to improve raw image quality (apart from the creative aspect). The camera body itself, and the features it comes with, are required by the photographer to make their own life easier. I would love faster AF, an articulating screen, and so on, for indoors event shooting. I can shoot without them, but these features would truly reduce the burden on me. The lens doesn't make a marked difference in your workload. It directly affects image quality, and the kind of image you can frame. So, I think you should buy what you think is more pressing: your needs, or your camera's. If you are absolutely having a hard time getting your shots because of the flaws in the camera (e.g. Lots of missed shots because of poor AF performance, or in my case, heavy noise and grain in the image in low light), get a better camera with all the features you need to improve your quality of life. Whereas if your images just don't get that something that you want, because your lens or other kit is limiting your framing, you buy a lens that will do the trick. If you want to shoot astro landscape timelapses, you get as wide a lens as you can, and as fast(aperture) as you can get it. Trying to shoot astro with a telephoto is obviously gonna be a disaster without a track mount and other kit.
      Buy what you need exactly at that point. Most professionals already have the most of the glass they use, they buy new bodies to keep up with tech and improve their QoL, and to make their work as easy as possible. In my case, both my kit lenses work perfectly for me, rarely do I need a longer reach or a wider shot for my compositions, but my camera body is severely hampering my shooting. So I'm saving up for a new body. Who knows, I might even switch to Sony/Nikon completely since I have very little invested in Canon glass right now.

    The RX100V shoots full-res Raw+JPEG at 24fps with AF and AE, which IS video... well after some post-processing... Of course in reality it's just too many images to wade through and 10fps is much more sensible.
    BTW is the Top Gun Chrono out of Schaffhausen or somewhere much further east?

      Grain? I did mention noise performance. I was saying that the electronic shutter would be great for shooting wedding ceremonies where the loud clack of a mirror flipping out and a mechnical shutter activating can be ... aggravating.
      When shooting "behind the scenes" stills on a film set you also can't be making tons of noise as it is *a: distracting* and *b: could pollute the on set audio* so this electronic shutter would help with on set BTS.

    Advice for first camera: I shoot dance videos both on stage and both run and gun (Salsa social dancing) 80D, Sony alpha 6500 or Panasonic g85?

      Paulo A. Carvalho You edit your videos and need low light performance? 6500. You don't edit and need long one shot videos? Record videos in good light and know where to get cheap old lenses? G85. You need more than 2 hr of footage without the need of extra batteries? Also need good overall pictures? 80D

    nice video. i do find the white balance to be kinda shit on the a7 II indoors often it gives that horrible yellow tint that reminded me of the older rebel dslrs canon fixed that a bit more on their later cameras but i guess sony just hasnt catched up. oh well you can add custom white balance temps so i just added a nice looking one for indoors at night and there ya go!
