Shoot with whatever camera inspires you to hit the trails and puts a smile on your face... well said Henry.
This man has an absolutely brilliant perspective on cameras and photography. It's really refreshing to hear somebody encourage others not to fall into the same argument of more great is better. Just love what you got and learn to make the best of it. That makes photography fun and creative.
I have a D7200. Great camera and has a good dynamic range. Lovely camera for landscape photography.
I have actually found myself downgrading. I had a FF but went down to APS-C because I wanted something lighter. Now I mostly use a mirrorless micro four thirds, which I really enjoy.
Having a full on professional camera and all the expensive gear does not make you a better photographer. I think it was Mike Browne that said: "Cameras don't take photos, people do." That is so true. I have seen some terrible photos taken using a FF expensive pro camera and some amazing photos taken with a smartphone.
I shot with a D3100 and kit lenses for 7 years! I loved it because it made me focus on how to do it. Recently upgraded to D500. I find it’s balanced for landscapes and wildlife. Does decent portraits as well.
I like that you shoot with a DX and still get amazing photos! Good model for beginners.
Grow the fck up mannn😂😂
Thank you for this.
I felt weird as I've been shooting with a D3200 and kit lenses but as you said, it helps teach skill.
I to have my eye on the D500 👍
You've got the same camera as me. I LOVE it!
I always say - photography is more about the user and how they use a camera than the camera itself. Great message to convey :)
Thanks a lot Kim - I actually asked you donkeys months ago which camera it was you were using in one of your videos - low and behold donkeys months later, here I am enjoying it! Hope you're well.
As usual you talk a lot of sense, so refreshing. 👍👍, love going over these older vids. 👍
I have the D7200 also and can highly recommend it for landscape but also fast action photography such as photographing birds. The D7200 is fast becoming an iconic Nikon camera. I love it.
Had my D7100 for several years absolutely love it.
I just purchased my first camera since my old film Nikon. I bought the D7200 largely because of you. I couldn't be happier with it. Thanks for the advice.
That's great, really glad you're enjoying it - it's a fantastic camera!
Henry, I to have a D7200 and love it. Photography is not the equipment, but the person behind the gear. Started with various film cameras years ago and used everything up to an 8x10 view camera. Love the fact I can buy decent gear at an affordable price. Also have two D80's and a D5500. Just got the second D80 for $100 US, which only has 2k shutter count.
Like your attitude about going out and taking in the great outdoors and study things in your mind. Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot James
I love my D7200. I hate elitist photographers who say crop is for amateurs!
I’ve taken photos on an 18 megapixel Canon 7D and put the photos in magazines, websites, and billboards. Don’t let anyone ever tell you theses aren’t professional tools. Or may you feel like you’re “less of a photographer” because you choose cropped. Full Frame has its place but it’s not the end all be all.
It is for amateurs
@@avadhsoni7704you're a novice if you believe that
@@abdigitaluk_photography call me whatever u want but that does not change the fact
@@avadhsoni7704 Weak photographers are those who think the better the camera, the better the photographer. Keep upgrading, you seem to need it.
I like the message. You can go back in time and find photographers who made the most amazing photos with far worse cameraes than some of the mid-quality cameraes you can now buy for cheap money. I have seen fantastic photos made with homemade cameraes obscura, only made out of a box of cardboard and the lens made of a piece of copper in which a hole was drilled. Photo is about being in the right place in the right time. It is about enthusiasm and being willing to do different kinds of experiments, and not be afraid sometimes to fail. Keep up the good work Henry.
Hi Henry, I just want to say, you are doing a top job. Apart from how good your photographs are, your videos (content, editing and honesty) and frequency, apart from that, your enthusiasm is just inspiring! Good job mate.
Great video Henry. I've got the d7200 and absolutely love it. I recently also purchased a d750 for shooting weddings as I wanted to treat myself rather than buying a second d7200. I used both cameras on the day and I wouldn't be able to pick out from the images which camera shot which image. They were both fantastic!
The great thing about crop sensor is cheap lenses and I love cheap lenses.
I have been a Nikon owner for a little over a year and a half. I have been motivated as of late to make use of my camera more and more. I really enjoyed this video! Great advice and beautiful location. This felt very approachable and I hope many others come across this video. Thank you!
Very useful video. Your style is gritty, honest and soo down to earth. Like it very much. I shoot with a D7100 which i upgraded from an Olympus E510 and love the fact that it does everything i need it to do right now. One question I do have to you is this: Dont you miss the live histogram? Not sure how much people use it, but when i was a newbie with my Olympus I found it very useful.
I have the D7200 for 3 years now. I was blown away by it when I bought it. Even now, I’m still impressed by it’s capabilities.
I’ve been taking photographs for years. But I’m an amateur. And I have other interests (music). I can’t really justify spending more on gear. The D7200 can do pretty much anything. Blowing thousands on a full frame body and lenses so I can proudly tell other photographers I have the “right” equipment would be pretty pathetic. I’ve seen lots of people with the best and latest gear who haven’t an eye in their head.
Spend your money on diesel and a pair of hiking boots instead 👍
I picked up a reconditioned d7100 years ago and it does everything I could ask. It's got a good iso range, a 24MP sensor, and is compatible with thousands of lenses. There are a lot of very good crop sensor lenses out there that are a real bargain - 50mm f1.8 anyone (I bought that for $125 brand new). You can also use FX lenses as well so the choice is almost limitless.
If you have a DX format camera with a few lkenses and you go over to FX, those lenses won't be of much use to you. I can't see any reason for me to change formats. you may but think about it before jumping formats.
Perfectly said! We need more people like you on UA-cam. I also own a Nikon D7200 and a Nikon D5500 and I love both! I don't think that there's any kind of photography I can't do with either body. I try to never limit myself, or listen to lies from some photographers on the internet.
Osase Noma-Owens i have the D5500 as i liked the touch screen and loved it...but after some time to learn how to use i found the limitation, i had some money from a 25 year savings and bought the D850 and i can’t believe how good it is and does everything and more than i will ever need plus all my DX lenses will work plus my FX 24-70. I don’t use full 42mp i just stick with 25mp, picture a lovely and sharp plus you can do stacking
@@martinlewis1015 That's awesome! The D5500 definitely has some limitations when it comes to usability, but I can't resist its image quality and that's why I still have it as a second body.
I was considering buying a full frame camera as well, but after using the D7200 for some months, I don't think I need one. The D7200 has amazing image quality and the low light performance surprisingly matches that of the Canon 5D Mark IV and the Nikon D810 (I tested it against both) so that's good enough for me.
The D850 seems like an amazing camera! I'm sure you're creating amazing photos with it. What kind of photography do you do?
Osase Noma-Owens mostly landscape and macro and any thing that takes my fancy.
On both D5500 and D850 i have upgraded the view finder with a higher + so don’t need glasses, on the D850 it’s bigger viewer and optics are really clear. I have gone from using A or S and now using M mode as you can see bar and adjust on the fly. I’m in West Sussex and used to go to Bognor Regis camera club but due to epileptic seizure from stress i can’t drive and finding work is worse than tough
@@martinlewis1015 Oh, I'm sure you'll be fine. Just keep doing what you love doing. The D850 is definitely the better body for you in this case and its viewfinder is much brighter and clearer.
Definitely take it easy a bit but don't stop creating!
Thanks very much
Going from film to using a DSLR for the first time in 2010, I chose a heavily used EOS-1 Ds which was Canon's FIRST full frame camera ever. I chose this because I really enjoyed ultra wide angles and I wanted a body that could handle my lenses as they were. It was a great body, but if you're just starting out, a full frame can give you so little depth of field that you can easily become frustrated. I eventually got used to it and learned how to produce better images. Last year (and two full frame bodies later) I picked up an EOS 90D and I'm really glad I did. When you need a depth of field boost, a crop sensor can give you one. If you have your lens set at f/5.6, your DoF will be about equal to f/9 on a full frame, and since your aperture is wider, you're able to shoot with a higher shutter speed/lower ISO and get the same effect! And, there's less diffraction from being stopped down! So yes, there's some VERY professional reasons to go for a crop sensor. Full frame is great, but absolutely, crop does have advantages!
Only beginning but quickly came to the opinion I don't need a full frame. Glad to see I am not alone. Have a nikon d3500 which I will upgrade in a year or two with another crop sensor. Any recommendations obviously want to stay with nikon as I have 3 lenses I don't want to change. Would the D7200 be my next step?
Great content and a lot of sense talked here. I went from D70 > D90> D5500. At times I've contemplated moving to a D7200, but can't justify it because the D5500 does great and I've not exceeded its capabilities. I don't get out too often, so practice in the back garden regularly with improving my abilities at focus stacking, panos etc. Total familiarity with one's camera and lenses pays off when later spending time and money visiting good locations.
I would highly recommend the D7200 if you can afford it at the moment! I use both the D7200 and the D5500. The sensors in both cameras are different so the color science is slightly different on the D7200 (for the better as it looks more like Canon) and the sensor in the D7200 performs noticeably better at high ISO settings, so you'll be able to shoot at ISO 12800 without much worry!
If you usually keep your ISO low (100-800) and you mostly use your D5500 on a tripod, then there's absolutely no need to buy the D7200, however.
Cheers for your words David and thanks for watching mate
Great vlog Henry on a topic close to my heart. As a crop user also I think it's great to get your message out there. There are many reasons I chose to stay APSC, I didn't need to buy new expensive lenses, all my glass fits. Need more memory space plus a good computer if processing big pano or stacked files, and I dont get large prints made. What I have works for me and yours works very well for you, keep up the great work.
Thanks a lot Jeff
It's interesting going back in time watching your legacy videos. So now you have an OM5 all be it currently broken, do you feel that crop sensor vibe again?
Getting out and immersing oneself in the landscape - excellent point Henry. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
I use a Canon 90d crop sensor. Its much lighter and quite frankly more affordable . I take it out in nature and its easy to carry and use. I know I am not a real photographer, I dont carry a backpack or tripod, heck I dont often even shoot RAW lol. I enjoy your videos and I am often inspired to try new things, Peaceful Tomm in Northern Michigan
It's nice to have a channel on which the photographer is using gear that we casual hobbyists can reasonably justify purchasing. Like you, I can afford a D850 but I don't need it and can't justify that expense or, especially, the expense of the must-have lenses that go with it. I have gone from D70 to D7000 to now D7200, keeping me somewhat up-to-date with innovation, and have been equally happy with each. I also watch those D850 landscape channels but I prefer yours because I can more identify with what you're doing and how you're doing it. Now I just need your eye for composition, one thing money can't buy!
Cheers Ralph
Hi Henry another awsom video 👍 I have never owned or used a full frame camera and I have never felt like the need to own one, I love my Fuji X-T2 image quality is awsom and for landscape photography it's a no brainer, with greater depth of field, lighter and smaller, I totaly agree its a mind game 👍
Agree x 1000! Cameras are *tools* .. use the *tool* that gets it done for ya!
Hi Henry, love your videos! I have a Nikon D3500, what can I do to get the most out of it before I upgrade? It's not weather proof which is proving a challenge photographing London
I was happy and still are with my Canon 600D but a couple of people shoots with some poor natural light and it began to be a little grainy and flat so moved up to full frame. Never had problems with low-light with the full frame but the 600D is still used for holidays and outings whilst the bulkier heavier Canon 6D is usually just reserved for model shoots.
Great video, totally agree, had my D3200 for about 5 years. Now have a few lenses which are perfect for what I need for a hobby/travel photograhy (Tokina 11-16mm, 35mm F1.8, Tamron 16-300mm) Only now want to upgrade for a few more features on the D7200
Without making any money from photography I just couldn't justify the price of full frame lenses and cameras, and my backpack would get a lot heavier too!!
Thanks a lot Sebastien
Hi Henry, thanks for the chat about your crop sensor camera, i bought a d5600 2 years ago as a starter into photography, and i love it, as you say it gives me everything i need. I find it a great tool for learning. I dont intend to upgrade until i feel happy and mastered my technique. Thanks again.
Thanks for the comment Neil
Bang on there, Henry. I shoot crop sensor (D7500) and I love the images I get. I'm not a commercial photographer, I just love photography and i'm more interested in mastering every single thing I can about my camera before even researching about other gear. There are some other well known UA-cam photographers who shoot crop sensor and they all say the same - the gear doesn't make the photographer, it's what's sat behind it. If and when I upgrade i'm pretty sure i'll stick to crop sensor actually!
Thanks a lot Adam mate as always
I highly recommend the 18/140 for the d7200 ya it’s a kit lens and ya it is amazing and extremely sharp and fast to focus
I think I’m at a similar place in my photography journey. I’m using a beginner camera (d3400) and am getting some great results. I love it. Great video. Thank you.
I have a Nikon D7100, the Tokina 11-16 DX-Pro is a stunning lens and the two make an excellent combination.
Thanks for your continued supported of crop sensor cameras!
Thanks a lot 👍🏼
Seems to be a popular opinion at the moment and I'm encouraged by it. For years, marketing departments at canonsonynikon pty ltd have sucked us into buying the latest and greatest. We've spent too much time staring at spec charts and test sheets.
Some of my best photos come from an old 35mm pentax KM. Having your camera with you at all times and shooting as much as possible has been the best thing to progess one's skills in the field.
According you video I’ve made I final decision and ordered new Nikon D7200. I hope sharpness and micro contract will be better than on my previous Nikon D7500, witch I sold, because 20 MP is not enough for my needs as a landscape photographer. What do you think, which lens is better for landscape, Tokina 10-16mm f/2.8 DXii, or Nikon AF-P DX 10-20 4.5-5.6G VR? Thanks
I use 3 crop sensor bodies Canon 760d 60d and 90d .
I shoot a few different disciplines. Motorsport , wildlife and getting into Landscape too .
May add a full frame body into the mix at some point .
Thanks for speaking out about the crop sensor. I have the D7200, as well, and cannot afford to move up to the D850 at this time. I have an investment in five DX lenses that would be hard to replace. In the US the price for a body has dropped to under $700. It might be time to pick up another body, as I like to switch from ultra wide angle to telephoto. Also, when I am in a wooded area, I often switch to a macro lens for woodland flowers, etc. Keep up the great vlogs, Henry!
Cheers Wayne
It's a very good camera I love my d7200 the images are very sharp with very good dynamic range. It's personal preference really there are advantages to both apsc gives you a 1.5x boost to the focal length of the lense mounted onto it. Full frame shows more of the scene and has high megapixel sensors. But you can't go wrong with apsc because if you have a good lens attached you can get very good results
Great video, thank you! I enjoy my Nikon D5300, and D500, and have never felt limited in any way.
I just LIKE the crop factor. It really helps me with macro and astrophotographer. I have an a7r iii FF too, but I don't use it as much for what I do. To get the crop I need, I would have to use a FF equivalent of 52MP, and then crop down.
I have to say I have a D5000 that I have had for years and love it. This Fall I decided to buy a new camera and Purchased the D7500. It has been great. Both are APS-C sensors and both take great pictures. I purchased what I could afford. I would have love to purchased a D850 but at this time it is out of my reach. I also have just printed some pictures. I don't have a printer but I sent my to mpix and they came out great. It was so good I thought I had it framed. P.S. Love your Videos
Thanks a lot Randy
I must have accidentally/unknowingly pressed the subscribe button because I never came across your channel before..I’ve subscribed to many landscape photography channels and after watching many of your videos I’m glad hit the button 👍🏼
Cheers Terry!!
Totally agree what gear we use is not that important it's getting out in nature and taking images and practicing that is much more important.
Thanks for your thoughts on the crop sensor, much appreciated.
Cheers for watching Dennis
Great advice Henry. 👍
Agree 100% with your reasoning for using crop. People fixate too much on FF/Crop. Camera you have doesn’t matter. It’s you, the photographer, that makes the difference.
Agree 100% with everything you suggested. Practice and experience much more important than equipment. Thanks for down to earth vlog. 👏👍👍
Thanks a lot I appreciate your words
Hi Henry I have the d7200 and now have the d850 I think your be blown away with the d850 especially with your landscape work I'm not a professional and I'm not clued up with all the science behind it all but I can honestly say I get much better results /pictures coming from the d850. feel free to look at my last pictures taken with the d850 in Snowdonia feb of this year ( flicker James carro.) I Know your really happy with your d7200 but if you feel like getting your hands on a d850 to try out I'm not to far away.
Keep up the good work i enjoy watching your videos
The D850 is a superb camera! It definitely produces some astounding results, but the price 😭
@@osasenoma-owens5072 worth every penny :-)
Cheers for that mate
There are people who get better photos with a smartphone with a sensor smaller than a drawing pin than others with a medium format camera ;)
I've got a D5200 and this is more than i will ever need. Should it ever break it will be replaced by a DSLM because of size and noise. My only small complaints at the moment.
Great and inspiring vlog Henry! You are so right about focusing your energy in the right place and on the right things. Thank you!
The right choice was buying 1. Nikon 2. D7200 is a great choice
Thanks a lot Mark
Great advice Henry I have just stumbled on your you tube videos, and love them, I have A D7200 and probably am guilty of G.A.S, always looking for better, then I asked my self... better what?
I wanted mirrorless then full frame then better lenses, then I realized if I got out there and took photos with what I have then I would know what I wanted to improve....
In the end I know I just need to find the time to use what I have and videos like yours inspire me to look around and compose my photos.
thank you
Peter
Cheers Peter
It's all about the man behind the camera. I've a Canon 200D and the kit 18-55 for landscape, and I get great photos.
I found this interesting. I wish I had an audience to tell how I ended up with full frame. I bet the answer would surprise many. In short, I was on a dead, poorly supported system (Sony A mount) so had to switch systems, made a list of things I wanted in my camera and then searched for my next system. Sony full frame came out on top of features and price so a new and very heavily discounted A7ii is my new camera for 2021. That and some used lenses. By fluke it was considerably less expensive (body and lenses) than any APS-C options that fit my list. We’re in the middle of a transition in camera tech to mirror less, so either hold on to what works or change systems.
So true... I have both the D7100 and D850 (Love them both). But the irony is, that some of the best photos I've taken has been with my iPhone...
Very wise words my friend.
Do you print your own photos or use a service online? Love your photos btw being a D7200 user myself. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the comment Stephen. Are use an online service which I’m very happy with!
Spot on Henty, for too long I was getting hung up on full frame but eventually decided to get real and add another prime lens to my kit, so I now have 3 primes and saving for a 4th to go with my wee Sony 6000, i loved my kit when i got it and since i got away from the mindset of thinking i needed better i am loving it even more now, TBH once i get my lenses sorted out i don't think i will ever go FF. i take photos for fun and stressing about gear takes the fun out of it. liked your image and with a wee bit of light it would be even better, that's the beauty of shooting local, you can revisit.
Thanks a lot for watching :)
Great video Henry, I have the D7200 and I love it. From the dual card slots and control wheels to where the buttons are positioned for fast changing of settings. If I was a professional I might be inclined to look at full frame and better glass but as an enthusiastic amateur the cost wouldn't justify the spend.
Thanks a lot Jim, it sure is a cracking piece of kit
Hi great vlog,I changed from crop sensor to full frame, prefer crop sensor for landscape photography seems to have better depth of field.
I have a D7100 ,great camera also.But in landscape and long exposure ,in low light ,the amount of detail that you can extract from a FX camera ,like a D810 or D850 in the shadows ir far greater that on a crop sensor ,even the d500.Not to mention the dinamic range of the D810 and the d850.Landscape photography ,his the type of photography that probably take the more advantage of a FX sensor .Do i need a D850 to makes photos ? No i don´t .But in some situations ,would be very welcome
I started getting paid for my photos and working as a wedding and event photographer in 1978 I’ve also gone through all of the changing gear over the years
i have currently the D7200 and the D750
I’m completely happy with both
I’m finding I use my D7200 much of the time
Over the D750
I’m a dual body shooter with deferent lenses on the bodies
My editing is very minor for either camera body I can easily afford a D810 however I’ve found it’s limitations were not going to be okay for me
I’m a event and wedding photographer
My primary photography is as a portrait shooter indoors and outdoors
With high speed sync and off camera flash
In closing in 2019 i have seen nothing that made me feel my two camera bodies were not going to do exactly what I needed and more if I required them to
Great video and I’m interested in how you envision your photography
It’s not what I do however
I’m completely impressed with your skills.
I'm sorry, I'm not good at English. I currently have two cameras, Nikon D5500 and D7500. With the D5500 I took photographs that have been awarded in international competitions such as IPA, sharing the list with the photographers I consider teachers, the D7500 is recent and I have some images taken and I think I can take advantage of it in night photography. But I think the main thing is to study, read, visit museums, plastic artists, painters, sculptors, reading literature also helps to awaken the imagination, cinema, follow the work of other photographers who do other things and see what I can learn. Try to have as much visual culture as possible, that is something that helps growth. There are many photographers who invest in an FX body and then, in front of the lens, place the cheapest filters on the market or buy a cheap tripod.
Do you ever use spikes on your tripod?
Nice video Henry and I totally agree. I think we all suffer from GAS at some stage in our journey. Like you i have a D7200 and can confirm it is an extremely versatile camera and great value for money, I love it, but have found myself falling into the same trap. I work in the city so found that I wasn’t able to invest enough time for landscape so have invested in a small Olympus OMD5 as a second camera to keep with me at all times in the city and am really enjoying some street photography to try an improve my composition skills 😃
Thanks Garry
Like your videos a lot. I also have a D7200 with me (saved myself some money so that I can use it for travel) . Can you suggest me a Filter system?
NiSi/Lee I use
@@HenryTurnerphoto thanks a lot for the feedback :)
I am new to digital photography. I shoot a NikonD7200, my first really nice camera. Former beginner film shooter, Cannon FTB. Thanks Henry for sharing. Jimmie Aleshire, USA.
Thanks a lot Jimmie 👍🏼
I ve been watching your videos for some time now and have also followed your IG and I really admire the time and effort you make into producing this channel. I have also noticed you don't excessively post edit your pictures which is a more natural approach to photography I value. Keep up the good work. I am sure you will grow an enormous following soon. Hugs from Chile South America!
Thanks very much, I hope to visit your country one day
What's up Henry? I got a Nikon D3300 and I'm having a ball. Just keep on shooting.
Hi Michael thanks a lot. And that's a great camera you have there!
I'm currently using a D7000. Good camera but I would love a flippy screen as often shoot low down. That means either a D7500 or a D500. D7500 only has 1 memory card (bad) &the cost of a D500 is similar to a full frame. I feel like Nikon has set a trap for me to get me to go full frame.
Don't get hung up on the 1 card slot issue of the D7500. Cards are so reliable these days. Just buy a branded one. To carry out a straw poll here, how many of you have had a card fail and if so, what brand/ type was it?
Very well said mate. Solid advice. I have been guilty of gear cravings and I am not completely over it yet, but trying.
Thanks for the support as always
The same camera and lens I have. Totally satisfied with mine
I also use same camera and Tokina 11-16 f2.8. Wish to learn landscape photography. If u could guide me pls let me know.
But my question is how can i shoot full body street fashion photography with crop sensor?
What lens size will i need for f1.4-1.8
Crop sensor is a choice ...I choose crop sensor too. Better for landscapes in my view, lighter cameras and for me better for action shots in zoom. It’s dam sight cheaper too to buy great glass too....love your passion too. Yup agree we need to get out more. I now use my lunch break to take pics....agree on gear freak syndrome. If you live to 80 ...you’ll live 29,200 days ....it’s not many. Live and breath people and snap away.
Thanks very much for your words
Hi Henry, thanks for your thoughts. The D7200 is still a great camera and I love it. As you realized, lenses are much more affordable! For landscape you'll use about 10 to 20mm lenses as you do; I have the Tamron 10-24mm. But where the D7200 actually becomes divine is macro photography with my Tamron 90mm f/2.8! Just to fire up you G.A.S.: try to get a used Nikon DR-6 right angle viewfinder in time because they're becoming rare! It's an enormous advantage when you shoot from a low position. I got mine a year ago for 110 Euro and I had to order it from Japan because there was none in Germany at that time. That's a part of gear for the D7200 I never would give away, it's turnable 360 degrees and has a built-in switchable 2x zoom with brilliant light transmission.
BTW, I forgot to mention: the D7200 is capable of infrared photography without modifying due to lack of a low pass filter.
Thanks a lot for your comment mate. Interesting about the right angle view finder, I’ve never thought of that 👍🏼
Love your honest thoughts, Henry
Can anyone answer this question for me, please? I brought a sigma 70-300mm (D5300, Df compatible) for my D5300. Does the 1.5 crop factor still count? Actually does it also still count for the 18-55mm kit lens?
Great video Henry, always good to have a personal perspective based on real use of gear. Totally agree with you that gear is only one element of a great image and needs to be held in context. Like you I started printing my images a few months ago and loving the learning journey of printing and matching the papers to the image. Cheers Adrian
Thanks a lot for the support
Awesome video, I've had GAS before lol. I was going to buy an EOS R this year but instead got myself a really good bed, my bed was broken and i could get much sleet. Whats the point having a full frame camera if I'm not going to go out to shoot because I've had no sleep. Keep the videos coming - I still want to do a video together ;)
Cheers Stewart
I have this d7200 for a year and still don't understand it but I love it ...
I have the 7200 and I've ummed and ahhed about full frame. For me one of the main deciders was a very practical one...file size. All these RAW photos need to be downloaded, processed and maybe saved. That takes longer processing times and more storage.
full frame 24 mpix cameras have the same file size as a 24 mpix crop sensor cameras.
@@PatriotSteve A D7200 and a D850 are not the same sensor size? A rough google shows file sizes in RAW on an 850 are about 50% bigger at Large setting.
Just watched your great video... Yes I am guilty of upgrading my camera..I have a D7100 & I just upgraded to D500 but looking back I was really happy with D7100 ...I should have spent the money on better lens...thanks for your advice..
Great video. A hobbyist I couldn't justify spending huge amounts of money on a full frame camera and bought a D7200 instead. I can safely say that I have never looked at my photos and thought i could have done better with full frame. I do have a couple of nice fast lenses - Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 & Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 which are fantastic. It's a great camera and as far as I'm concerned it's everything I need and more.
Having said that, if I win the lottery i would go and buy a D850!
Hi Steve. Nice one, Nikon have a great line of cameras. I need the pro full frame 800's for the photography I do and level I want to be. A 250£ CyberShot would be my second camera for portrait.
Cheers Steve
Nice vlog and thanks for talking about your camera the Nikon d7200 which I also work with. I do have a question why don't you work with nikon lenses and why with Tokina? Greetings and keep it up.
Thanks for your continued support Rudy
Buying a camera is exhausting. I finally went with a D7500 and it is a great leap from using a bridge camera. Last SLR I used took film. Better you know your camera the better the pictures. Doesn’t keep me from longing for a Z6 or Z7 though.
Henry... A very well thought out topic and great video.
I don't take landscape photography but I'm glad to see someone saying how a crop sensor camera is capable of taking landscape shots.
I also have the D7200 and D7100 cameras.
Best,
Duane
Thank you mate cheers for watching
Love your videos. I have the camera and that same wide angle lens I love the photos it takes I tell everyone starting out its not the camera I was shooting good photos with my d3400 but the 7200 gives more options. Thanks for your videos
Brilliant advice. So many of us are guilty of wanting the latest gear whether we really need it. Me included. 😊. I think I am in recovery now for G.A.S. 😝. I bought my son that D7200 and his images are lovely. And no question your photos are awesome.!
Good of you, can't go wrong with a D7200.
Thanks as always Janet for your comment
Well said, Henry. While Full frame definitely has its place, it's not my cup of tea (yet?). There are just so many factors which I like about Crop sensors: cost, smaller bodies (but not too small, my favorite is APS-C DSLRs 😅), the already impressive feature set... My perfect camera size already exists, but my perfect camera itself I haven't found yet - And I probably never will. But that's fine, I've got something quite close.
Thank you very much Julian
England and whole Europe is so beautiful and quite.. Its very crowded up hear in India.. There's always someone to disturb you while doing landscape photography
Full frame has one huge advantage that cannot be overcome with crop sensor cameras, which is the ability to have a very shallow depth of field. That is not an issue for some and for others they live in a world with a very narrow plane of focus. To each his/her own...
Nice video! I enjoyed your perspective on the subject. That camera is very capable and can be had for a great price now.
Thanks very much
EXCELLENT video. You can extend this to pretty much any style of photography.
Thank you Mark
I have the same camera D7200 and lens (if that is the Tokina 11-20 F2.8). It is the perfect combo for me as a new photographer.
Nicely said! I use a 7D mk2 for my landscape photography and it is more than I need! :) Great video!
Thanks very much!
Earls Hill, great viewpoint on the right day. I recently bought my first (crop sensored) DSLR. I do a lot of hillwalking in Shropshire and beyond and am looking to take better photographs, first outing last week was a bit of a disappointment on Brown Clee, combination of very strong winds, pretty poor flat light and my basic lack of knowing how the camera works! Very early days, guess it's going to be a case of trial and error to begin with, these vlogs are very helpful.
Thanks Mark, yes I'll definitely be returning
I have a D500 and my wife a D7200. I see no need for big bucks full frame bodies (and lenses).
