5 Street Photography Cameras Under $400
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 лип 2022
- Following some great comment conversations about cheap street photography cameras, I've compiled a list of 6 great options, 5 of which are under $400 in an effort to find the best street photography camera! A lot of photographers may aim for something like the Canon R7, the Ricoh GR, the Fujifilm X100V or X100 series - however since using my Lumix LX100 and trying out more Lumix street photography, I have found myself more tempted by micro four thirds and other compact cameras. Street photography cameras luckily tend to benefit from being more compact and easier to carry with you, so ignoring larger full frame camera bodies both saves you money while serving a better purpose.

MPB needs a category; "cameras recommend on youtube in the last 12 months" 🤣
Right 🤣 (all out of stock)
All at triple the price they were just a day earlier
That’s the same as sorting from high to low on price right 😂
i agree don’t you think new insta cam @ a camp 🏕️ snap will cost 2005 . 60 cents / tax lol 😆
got excited watching this to find everything is more expensive now lol
But why did it increase so much !
For the M43s, don't overlook the little Panasonic 12-32, for a 24-64 range. Surprisingly sharp and relatively cheap. One of my favorites.
Good shout!
is it better than the Olympus kit ?
@@andreatilli6227 It has optical stabilization, the Oly version does not. So if you buy the smallest M4/3 camera ever made (Panasonic GM-1 or the GM-5 with built-in viewfinder) you'll be very glad you already have a stabilized lens.
Olympus PEN E-PL9 user here. It's my favourite camera. Absolutely love it. I use an EM-1 MK2 as my main camera, but the E-PL9 is my most fun to use. Love it.
Thanks for the tips!
Just in case no one has said it already, the original Canon EOS M mirrorless camera is a hidden gem for recording beautiful video. If you overwrite the firmware with Magic Lantern (simple tutorials on youtube), it unlocks the ability to record 2.8k true RAW video in 10, 12, and even 14bit color depth. There's even a 5k anamorphic mode which is my favorite to shoot in. As far as I know, this is the only mirrorless camera that works with Magic Lantern. It's truly astounding what you can capture with this tiny cinema beast.
True! Seen many videos on the topic
For street photograpy I usually choose my Sony A5100 with it's 16-50 kit lens, or with Pentax 110 24mm & 50mm F2.8 lens. Those tiny Pentax lenses fits even the smallest pockets, however they are very good quality, and giving a little retro-style look of the photos as they have a little vignetting and softness in the corners :)
Oh good idea on the Pentax lenses, I suppose with the A5100 there is still some peaking function? Otherwise I'd be worried with the older EVF and the small screen
@@GeorgeHolden The A5100 doesn't have EVF just a 3" screen (the screen resolution is the same as the 6xxx series, just it is only foldable upwards), but it have a very good focus peak system. I love to use it with manual lens, very easy to make great spot-on pictures with it.
Would you recommend the A5100 for traveling? Looking at going on a cruise
@@BG5850 Yes, of course. It's very small with it's kit lens, and makes very good images for street and landscape photography (with it's kit lens limits, of course, far more better than any current high-end smartphones).
And I've almost forget, it makes very good quality videos, the 50Mbps 1080p videos are very enjojable, even on a 55" 4K TV screen... :)
For under usd400 i think a used olympus EP5 + lumix 14mm f2.5 is the best camera for street photography.
Compact size, tilting screen + touch to shoot, on board flash, super fast auto focus, good battery life, front and back dials for good control of aperture and shutter speed, the BW grainy film effect is the best straight out of camera even compared to the fujis across IMO.
Great idea!
Canon G9 or G1x hands down best P&S with manual settings and great imagery. And I think a viewfinder is Key to street photography
Yes I have a few mates that love the G1X (mkii maybe?) Agreed a good viewfinder is nice to have, I tend to use LCDs but enjoy an X100 OVF/EVF combo 😅
@@GeorgeHolden I heard the OVF/EVF combo on the x100 is pretty solid. Planning to dive into the xpro myself very soon
I've used the Canon EOS M with the 22mm f/2 (35mm equivalent) lens and the kit lens since 2014 and it is definitely one of my favorite cameras. If you don't mind the weight, the EOS 40d is almost free to purchase now and is very quick focusing and shooting and has a little weather sealing. 10.2mp APSC sensor size. The camera has a lot of different settings available. I use a Canon PowerShot S95 for a "pocket" camera which has a lot of different settings and will produce good photos also. The 40d has no video and the S95 has up to 720P. I don't shoot a lot of video. I picked up the S95 for $40 and it looks like new yet. It came with a case. I always carry at least two batteries per camera if I go out for a day.
Such a nice set of cameras, especially the S95, classic compact!
@@GeorgeHolden Thanks, I really can't stress the EOS M enough. The touch screen is fantastic and you can release the shutter with it too, the video is good, it's small and fairly quiet. I love that 22mm (35mm equivalent) lens too.
I've got the Fuji x-e2 and absolutely adore it... it has mildly better autofocus than the x-e1 but thinking of adding the x-e1 and definitely an Olympus pen. Missing that kind of kit. Thanks for the reviews!
Yes! I've recently been eyeing up an x-pro1 but waiting to see if the urge passes (I definitely don't need that camera) 😅
@@GeorgeHolden I keep telling myself that :) ...
Hi George.
My first ever camera was an Olympus Pen F with a 40mm f1.4 lens. Seeing a digital Olympus Pen on this reveiw made me smile at the thought.
I used to do a paper round and also washed the car at the weekends for one of my customers (a maroon Rover P5).
He had a two Nikon F2, a Hasselblad 500 and his own darkroom (his wife was a much better printer than he was). When I told him I was moving he gave me the half frame Pen FT as he never used it.
Many happy memories taking pictures with it and a great intro to photography for a fifteen year old in 1975.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
That's great to hear!
I bought an Olympus EPL5 body for £100.00 mor discreet street photography. Shutter count about 3000 and condition is near mint. It is paired with a 17mm f1.8 which I already owned. Superb and highly recommended.
I have my grandmas old Canon EOS rebel and my grandpas old Minolta XE-1 and I have been using my Canon on every trip and “adventure” that I have gone on but I have never used my Minolta because I don’t have film but I getting film tomorrow (Kodak 200 gold) so I’m super exited to finally try film and experience both types of photography digital and film
Nice hope you enjoy some film photography again soon!
For street photography I would not go for a an EOS M because of the ergonomics. I’ve got small hands - it’s a tiny box with nothing to grip onto. That said I’ve owned 3 simultaneously because of its insane RAW video capabilities with Magic Lantern. With the latest “crop mood” firmware it is really a joy to use - shooting 5K RAW video.
I've a GX7 which I bought new several yrs ago with the 14 - 42 kit lens, a brilliant set up for street photography
I've since graduated to the GX9, an even better camera. I was tempted by the G9 but it's far too big for an mf3 sensor camera
I still use the GX7 which got slightly damaged in a fall but got repaired.
I have a number of used lenses from mpb indeed but wouldn't buy used cameras
That's interesting, why wouldn't you buy a used camera?
fun vid. thanks for the effort and the sharing. i am a fan of the panasonic gx85. great for so many uses. thumbs up.
Awesome, thank you!
@@GeorgeHolden I too am GX85 owner and fan. Very small and lite. Love the IBIS. Since it’s a Panasonic the video is good. Lovely stills camera. Mate it to the Panasonic 15mm or Olympus 17mm and you have a lovely bit of gear. It may be a little out of your price range but it is in the neighborhood. I love m43 and APSC. The XE1 is a winner with the 23 or 35mm f 2 fujicrons.
Mask On Nurse Marty
i've been using my XT1 and the 35/f2 and I absolutely adore it, but i've been looking at something more pocketable and that olympus pen looks like it might be what im looking for
That's awesome!
Super video. Your explanations are terrific and recommendations solid. I have the following question: these are older cameras with older technology. How do they compare to a current phone, like the iPhone 13 ProMax with its ability to shoot raw plus it’s computational features? Keep up your fine work.
Thanks Stuart! That's on a camera by camera basis, if each were equipped with a 26mm lens to compare with a phone's main camera focal length, then in terms of convenience and the computational abilities the phone is going to win in most situations for casual shooters. But in situations where manual shutter speed control is needed or flexible ISO sensitivity these cameras still have the upper hand - that's also ignoring the fact that with many they offer more than one focal length or interchangeable lens options. Cheers Stuart!
@@GeorgeHolden Thanks for the excellent response, George. There are, of course, apps for phones which allow for control of shutter speed and iso and phones do have multiple focal lengths; what they don’t have is the ability to change apertures. Have a super Sunday.
Returning to photography after my art school days, [too many years to count] and now my daughter has now shown a real talent for photography I am trying to keep up and yep somewhat confused by the massive range of digital cameras these tube's have been a great education for me especially as I used to love street photography so four thirds for me thanks George
Thanks! Hope this has helped
Have you ever tried the Nikon Coolpix A? It's a tiny camera with a DX sensor.
I haven't! Definitely sounds like fun
Hey George,
Which camera would you recommend to me as a beginner? Under 500 euros including lens.
Mainly I want to take pictures of animals and nature (need a lot of zoom). :)
mFT and Sigma 19mm f2.8 is one of my fav combos ✌️the 30mm is something in between... Could never get comfy with it... Took the oly 45mm f1.8 instead.
That's great to hear thanks for letting us know!
@@GeorgeHolden I think it belongs to personal preferences, but this may be a good / universal useable field of view 👌
I got a Sony NEX-6 with the tiny kit zoom and I'm pretty happy with it
That's great!
I love my sony rx100m1 for street and every day life camera. Goes wherever I go in my pocket.
Hey George it's really interesting going through some of your recommendation videos after coming across your content. I already have a Canon 750D which I've had since 2016 as a birthday present and I have my phone as a Samsung S10 5G but looking for something maybe for some street photography or concert photos in a point and shoot form factor. I have been considering a RX100 VI or VII but might be too previous, however probably looking for something with a fixed lens unless I get something like an alpha and just take to small shows where I might get permission. Apparently even the earlier RX100 models take great shots and now I feel silly for missing a RX100 V just a few days ago ending at £377, but I didn't know if I'd regret the shorter zoom range of 70mm
Thank you for this! I was looking for something like this
Happy to help! Is nearly a year old so may do an update with new prices 😅
Might be a stupid question but I don't see an answer on their website, do cameras on MPB come with the kit lens? Or is it body only?
Everything is body only, so you would need to order a lens too
I have a eos M mk1 and it's a slow thing. Terrible autofocus. But so light and with the 22mm f2 ice taken gorgeous pics. I even paired it with a cheap Yongnuo 50mm using the converter and ive taken incredible portraits. All EOS M cameras have beautiful colors.
Thanks for sharing!
I still use my Olympus EP-L5. Still works pretty dang well, and even gets better shots than my LUMIX gx85… especially in poor lighting… My lumix gx85 just turns all shadows green, and I do not know how to fix that. Any ideas, anyone? Haha
No help on the green shadows but great to hear the EP-L5 is still kicking!
The used market on this segment is a Rollercoaster... Gets super expensive out of nowhere. Just bought an Rx100 m2 for $100 more just 9 months later from MBP.
nope, due to camera inflation and the popularty in digicams, the Fujifilm X30 is now around $524 to $700
Hey George! Would you recommend the X-E1 over a Lumix GX7, GX800 or OM-D E-5? I cannot decide this on my own. I need such a small camera right now. Theres a smal shop for used cam stuff around the corner and the guy there is offering a used X-E1 without battery, lens and charger for 150 euros to me. hire or fire? THANKS!
Both are great options in terms of Fuji vs MFT, not huge amounts of difference!
I think a street camera should have a decent autofocus system and that is hard to find at cheap cameras. The Fuji x30 i tried myself and it is total rubbish in rgds of focus speed. Not only the focus but also the shutter delay this camera has is not suitable for street photography at all. Would advice to try out a camera before buying
Smartphones have great autofocus. Most have pdaf. Super fast autofocus.
That's very fair! Af is a tricky one especially on interchangeable lens cameras as any third party lenses can have dodgy AF
Or just get cheap manual focus lenses, with zone focus and a bit of practice you'll become more accurate than most autofocus systems.
MPB also offer 6 months warranty on used kit..👍
True!
Hi George. Very late to the party here but I’m going from iphoneography to getting a cheap 4/3rds or compact to start a new chapter in my images. I have noticed the Olympus pen epl8 and wondering if that, along with an Olympus M.Zuiko ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II R lens would be a good general starting point? I’m gonna do street but I’m more for abstract in the street or a style closer to Olga karlovac. I’d really appreciate your opinion on this combo fella as I’m really stuck in a rut deciding over a good compact V a basic system like I mentioned. Thank you, ric
The other lens I saw was the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II R MSC. I don’t know if this Is different.
I don't have experience with the Pen EPL8, however many comments on my MFT videos mention that in general people are very happy with it. Then if you're after a zoom with variable aperture, I'd go for the best you can afford - however I have only personally used the Lumix 12-32 and the Olympus 14-42 EZ which I enjoyed
@@GeorgeHolden Thank you George. Well I managed to find an Olympus e-m10 mkII and the kit lens for £300 with less than 800 clicks so I nabbed that instead. I’ll upgrade the lens once I read and learn more.
meanwhile ..6 months later.. there is no rx100ii ..fujifilm x30 goes for 480 euros (the cheapest one)..there is no epl5 ..cheapest gx7 goes for 309 euros without a lense .. and the list goes on .. anyone got any info on when are the prices going down again plz ..xD
Yes I think used prices have gone up all over
Pentax K3 IBIS
rx100-2? xq2? x30? Nope
answer Nex 5N, 5R + 16mil 2.8 kit (maybe 5t - a5000 + same old sigma art 30 like in this video)
but I hope u just will find oneplus 9RT or pixel 6A, somewhere guys
XE1 + fuji XC 2\35?
hmmmmm
or maaaybe
X-t100 + TTArtisan 35 f/1.4 - or 25mil
or eos 100d + 24; 40 stm + monopod
e-M5 (cause prbbly better stab than in ePL5 and better grip) + 7artisans Photoelectric 25 f/1.8
All fair points!
Do you think Lumix gx80 is a good choice?
Very good choice
@@GeorgeHolden thank you)
Do MPB deliver anywhere
I've randomly discovered this video and now I'm waiting for my Olympus EPL5 to be delivered 😀
Eyyy! Enjoy it 😅
canon eos M with magic lantern is a beast go research about it
Cameras launched in the last couple of years don’t have GPS. Pushing me towards buying a smart phone instead of a replacement camera.
Is GPS a big factor for you? I haven't felt it's that important
@@GeorgeHolden GPS is important for me. I have photos going back 20 years. All since about 2005 are geotagged. My images cover an area from the northern tip of Shetland. All over the U.K. Mainland Europe as far south as Sicily & out into what was East Germany. The area soon to be extended out into Poland. Making geotagging more or less essential when searching through 18 years & 30k images.
Making a camera without GPS as not fit for ‘my’ purpose.
@@davecooper3238 Hi Dave, that's fair enough! There are certainly plenty of cameras still with GPS data recording so if they're a few years old, then plenty of affordable options too!
@@GeorgeHolden I have a TZ60 & a TZ 40. I am nursing them along. I did have a TZ 10 but that hit a wall in Austria. Lens damaged beyond repair. I will keep my eye open for GPS but every time I use camera & GPS in a search I don’t find anything for purchase.
@@davecooper3238 it may be worth trying a website like 'camers decision' you can compare cameras and one of the specs they include is GPS
Ok seriously what on earth is going on with these camera prices. Trying to find a basic point and shoot camera with a more classic look, every single video I click on, I find a good camera with a reasonable price, then go check the price online, and the prices have skyrocketed hundreds and hundreds of dollars higher than they were at the time the video was posted. How is this happening with EVERY camera in every video I watch? Do you camera youtubers have this much sway over the market? Do all of your viewers go out and buy 5 of every camera you talk about? How in gods name is this even possible. I'm so sick of this it absolutely drives me crazy how overpriced things are these days, and how the internet doesn't let anything go unspoiled.
Where are you looking for prices?
Nikon v1/v2
x100 for me, all day every day
Do love the X100! I've only had the S but was a great cam
@@GeorgeHolden I got it when it was new to use for wedding work and it was great, I sold it years ago but just bought one back recently. It the only stills camera I actually enjoy using.
@@WhenWillILearn I completely understand! I think that's why I'm buying and selling cameras so often, still chasing that X100 feeling 😅
MPB don’t have a physical shop therefore cannot be looked at before you buy. They are a little overpriced compared to proper photo shops like Wex and Park Cameras.
True
You are talking about used cameras without talking about number of shutter actuations.
The ratings of like new, good, well used etc also take into account shutter actuations - personally that isn't something I care much about
X30 is $500 now ☹️☹️☹️
fuji for ya
Shilling for MPB on all his videos. Unrealistic prices being quoted.
This isn't a sponsored video, I just use mpb for used prices as they're more reliable than eBay
@@GeorgeHolden eBay sold listings are pretty solid though
@@JoeLopez yes but also variable
@@GeorgeHolden Just like every other resource 😎
