Sup friends!TL;DR: Wanting to get back into photography, is a Canon 600D viable or should i upgrade?I used to be real dedicated hobby photographer/videographer some 10 years ago. Bought a Canon 600D while still in school, and used it avidly for a couple of years. As time passed life and work took up more time, phone cameras got better and the DSLR has mostly been collecting dust for the past 10 years.Just got back from a trip to Japan though, where I actually brought the camera, and god damn it sparked my fire for photography again! Obviously most photos i took on my trip is pretty shitty since I've lost all experience from spending the past decade only taking pictures with phones on full-auto and todays phones with 1000x the compute power of a DIGIC 4 does alot of (AI) filter magic and HDR to put my DSRL photos to shame.Still I really liked the creative feel of taking pictures with a real camera and I have no doubt that a good photographer with a competent camera still beats the living crap out of a phone, especially with glass fit for the situation.So to my question: How competent is a Canon EOS 600D / Rebel T3i / Kiss X5 today?Obviously I will continue using it to regain my skills, but will it hinder me alot compared to getting a modern camera or is it still a legit viable option in 2024, and I should spend my money on good lenses instead?
>>4303449For me, I need the weather / dusk sealing. I do not use the tripod often for my shooting, so the IBIS is welcome. The high MP count should be helped with clarity with IBIS on. I haven't actually ever turned off the IBIS, so I wouldn't know how much it truly helps.
>>4303454The images seem really noisy, it could be my lack of competence tho1600iso, f/2.8, 1/40 sec, 40mm, no flash[EXIF data available.

>>4303465Try turning sharpening off by default. It can make noise much worse. You will always get some degree of noise like this at higher ISO.If you have some automatic light leveling on, it might make it more pronounced as well.

So, long story short. My girlfriend (fiancé) cheated on me with a client I had. And now they offered to buy me a camera. I do a lot of sensual pics of well endowed men, and my gf always wants to help out on the shoots. And on the last shoot, they basically did it in front of me multiple times, and I had to act nice and professional through the gig. (I’m editing the pics as I type this. It hurts a lot). I wasn’t happy when we got home, and she said she can buy me a new camera to make it up to me, which is really nice of her. And I’ve been drooling over this camera for a while. I also like doing video, but I was something light and simple. I have a condition where I get very moody and grumpy when I hold heavy things for too long? And the GH5 often messes me up and I’ve had to take naps during shoots, and it’s costing me clients. Most people are not very understanding. So weight is pretty important to me. Is this good or should we go for something easier to use?[EXIF data available. Click here to show/hide.]Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

I just picked up a D700 tonight with 3 lenses, a 24-120 F/3.5-5.6D, a 28-85 F/3.5-4.5, and a 70-210 F/4-5.6. I got all these lenses plus a N8008s for $200. I was thinking of just reselling them online and making a little profit but I really like how the D700 feels and I think I'm going to keep it at this point. That being said, the same person I bought the D700 and lenses from is also selling a D3 for $300 and they gave me the option of returning the D700 body and adding an extra $100 on my end for the D3. From what I can see online, they're identical except for the built in grip and faster continous shooting for the D3. That being said, should I get the D3 instead? Does anyone have any experience with both of these cameras and have a preference for one over the other?
Unless you shoot sports there is zero reason to choose a D3 over a D700. I don’t think there’s a valid toughness / build quality argument as the D700 is already built like a tank.
Na keep that shit, the only thing the D3 has over the D700 is FPS which comes at the cost of permanent bulk. You can get a battery grip for the D700 for those times you want extra speed.Nice kit of lenses there btw, dont sell any of those either, add a 50 1.4 and you're golden.
>>4302991D3 is just D700 with a permanent battery grip and second card slot. If you're not using it as a primary body for weddings then who cares about the second slot?Also, adding the right battery grip to D700 van increase FPS just about to match.Definitely get one of the nikkor 50mm lenses, maybe also 35-70 2.8D
The D3 shutter is rated for longer life than the D700, but all in all I’d say the D700 is way more practical and the camera you’re more likely to bring with you. Stick with it. Get some small primes. Maybe keep the 24-70, sell the rest.Consider the 35 f/2 af-d, 85 1.8 af-s, 180 2.8 af-d. A 50mm 1.8 af-d is dirt cheap and a really great lens too.
Is the $999 and under market dead?
>>4303297>"hit the limit of"wut? are these motorcycles or something?>take a picture>if you print it larger than 8x10 and expect it to look decent close up you've "hit the limit"wew lad. cameras are so banal. not like high performance advanced tools.
>>4303310> if you print it larger than 8x10 and expect it to look decent close up you've "hit the limit"10MP is plenty for an 8x10 and no camera you buy today is likely to be under 12MP. 12MP on a D700 is enough for any purpose.Also, how often are you printing bigger than 8x10 and standing within several feet of it, anyway.

>>4302671Fuji hasnt made a well made camera since the xpro2 and their weather sealing is still a marketing lie. They are as good in the rain as a non sealed camera like the a7iii. Why do people still recommend fuji over a cheap leica, a voigtlander lens, and a few 5 packs of portra?Also lmfao at your sour grapes towards better cameras. Absolutely pathetic. I would love for someone to say this to me IRL but they never do, they just look at their feet and scowl.
>>4302679>Also lmfao at your sour grapes towards better cameras.What do you even mean?You mean the part about "muh ergos"?Guess what? Your grip looks stupid and shooting one handed is retarded anyway. Wear a neck strap like a man and shoot supporting your lens like God intended.

>>4299457Thing feels like a big metal brick, which is nice, but that fucking knob eating into the VF pyramid makes my head hurt every time i look at it, and honestly why the fuck are the knobs 2 & 3 storeys tall? Just makes it look even bigger. I shoot with an FA and Nikonos V which have smallish grips that i like very much (smaller than my Z6/Z7 which feels too big), but this grip is so fucking tiny i dont even know why its there, and it irritates me that i’ve got to add even more height to the body with the smallrig mount to get a more useful grip extension on it. It feels like a solid but big camera. The loose IBIS sensor is weird. Otherwise, on the right track, i just wish they improved the design from the zfc rather than cloned & enlarged it.

Shoot black and white, get pro film for 9 or 10 bucks a roll. (Delta, Tmax, Rollei).
I don't know why but I'm always content with film prices even with the inflated prices. But the development price when I send them to the lab, that's what gets me bothered. Not sure why.

A couple of months ago I asked for help getting a PVS14 attached to my Nikon. I wanted to reply here and say thanks to the Anon that gave me encouragement and advice. I finally got this project done and wanted to offer my learnings to anyone interested.I used a standard PVS14 and a manual focus 50mm lens connected by a couple of thread adapters.PVS14 eye pieces have 30mm threads. The key is to find an adapter that goes from M30 to the filter size on your lens. The threads on both the pvs14 and filters are female threads. You'll need to find an adapter or combo of adapters that goes male to male 30mm to filter-size. My filter was some oddball 43mm. I was able to find a 30mm (male) to 43mm (female), but near as I can tell no place on earth makes a male-to-male adapter in 43mm. I had to make my own on the CNC. Don't make my mistake: find a 50mm lens with a filter size that has readily available male-to-male thread adapters!! don't get a 43mm unless you want to burn a couple of hours making your own!!My contraption went:PVS14 -> 30mm(male) to 43mm(female) -> homebrew 43mm male-to-male -> 43mm filter on 50mm lens -> Nikon Z8. Even with all of this, it took some fiddling to get sharp photos. Thus far I haven't quite been able to match the clarity of the PVS14 as seen through the eye with the camera. I got this for taking photos of stars, but it was overcast today so you get pictures of my cats sleeping in the dark[EXIF data available.

>>4301868jesus dude, you are a retard.I can tell you've never owned a PVS14.
>>4301898Things that are about same colour in visible light can reflect NIR very differently and vice versa. It's not about visible colour but composition of the reflecting surface. There is a thing called IR spectroscopy for identifying chemical substances.
>>4301876Gen 3 nods see enough of the visible spectrum to form a color image from three RGB filtered shots. However, to get color comparable to what we're used to you would also need to filter IR. If you left the IR it would be like an extreme IR color photo from a converted digital sensor. More extreme than a SiOnyx Aurora (webm related).
>>4300041Were you the anon who asked about how to do this a while back? I remember directing someone to k/nvg/ for all the info.In any case, nice shots anon. Fucking love nods.
>>4301982>Were you the anon who asked about how to do this a while back?Yes! thank you for sending me that way and for your encouragement. It all came together when I made my own 43mm thread adapter and adjusted the diopter.and I totally agree these things are amazing, the PVS14 truly is a magic device.
