Nikon Z5 with kit lens for family photography for 1250 EUR - cop or not? I really like that it’s a full fledged camera and not a Gimp like the eos rp. On the other hand, the Nikon lenses are pretty expensive, and quite ugly. What else for this money?[EXIF data available.

>>3865736Please advise. Thank you!
>>3865736F mount glass (as well as EF) is legacy garbage though. it's cheap because it's superceded and out of production. the stuff you're buying is faded dreams and deceased estates of boomers.it doesn't make sense to me to buy a contemporary modern body and then slap ancient shit on it, hacked to work through stupid adapters, even if they are oem. just buy an old f-mount body then and save your scheckles.
>>3865736>you can use the FTZ adapter and use the huge array of F mount glass which is at a reasonable price at the moment.You really don't want to fuck around with adapters just to save a little on the lenses. Adapters are there for people that already have lenses, it's always better to buy native lenses for the mount. After all, native lenses are designed from the ground up with the smallest flange distance that mirrorless offers over dslr. You can look at the new XF 70-300mm with 1.4 tc for comparable price point and reach. Though, I'd also consider mft over both. With, either Olympus or Leica 100-400mm.
>>3865736This >>3865804Also, Fujis lens selection is actually pretty amazing and will only get better this year and beyond with Fuji likely being friendlier to third party makers, you can also buy amazing Fuji lenses cheap second hand like the 18-55 f2.8-4 which is probably the greatest kit lens ever made
>>3865826Also Fujis lenses are on par with leica in terms of build and picture quality
It's hazy season in my country and all the landscapes have disappeared because of all the fucking hot humidity and it won't go away until rainy season comes in 2 months, I still have 28 shots left in my roll. What subjects make interesting photos without having to go far from home? Also, I live in a third world shithole so my camera may get stolen if I take it out in public.
>>3865552haziness on film looks cool imo
>>3865560Sometimes, maybe I'll go shoot the city on a sunday afternoon, but otherwise this shit is annoying because there are a lot of great views where I live and they're all fogged and practically blocked now.

Do photographers use flat profiles just like filmmakers? Is there a cinestyle for photography or something??
>>3864891You're a dumbass not getting raw format...Here's explanation for dumb dumbs like you. Raw file gets graded as soon as you open it lightroom or capture one, or any other raw editor. For lightroom, and for many other editors you can not turn the grade off. This has nothing to do with Fuji, it's the same for all manufacturers. Log is something completely different. It's intended use is optimising dynamic range for shooting video in lossy formats, ie. everything that's not raw. When camera is capable of raw video, there are no benefits of shooting in log, save from smaller file sizes.
>>3864752/thread/
>>3865325>save from smaller file sizes.Bingo, I thought you'd never get it fujifag.RAW video is a pain to deal with, specially from the formats seen in hybrid cameras. It slows down production, sometimes to a halt.Which is fine if you don't have a schedule, but if you do, then log is your friend.

>>3863811Yes but how do you get orbs in multiple frames without the film moving inside the canister? Why isnt it exposing while the roll is wound, only when its stationary?
>>3865547Because the roll is in a camera (light tight box)
>>3865554So how are the orbs in multiple different frames
>>3865645the light hit them before putting them in the camera
>>3865652So multiple punctures?
Besides being a product for poorfags, literally what reason is there to buying a DSLR in 2021? The technology in DSLRs is ancient and there's nothing they have that a mirrorless doesn't have and do better.
>>3865800>OVFs are nicer to work with and battery life is observably better.(continued from >>3865854 because I'm a wordy bitch)OVFs are nicer *for some people*, and OVFs are nicer *for now*. Personally, I prefer my X-T1's EVF to the OVFs on my DSLRs. I'm pretty meh on Sony's EVFs. Eventually, the refresh rate will get high enough and the resolution will get high enough that you'll have an extremely difficult time telling whether you're looking at an EVF or an OVF.DSLR battery life is observably better *for now*. Battery life keeps getting better, both because battery technology gets better and sensor/processor technology gets more efficient. Eventually, there will come a point where mirrorless cameras have the same battery life as current DSLRs, at which point it doesn't really matter if future DSLRs are better because current DSLRs' battery life is more than enough for most situations (except maybe really long hikes where you have zero opportunity to recharge for several days).Same thing with my other big complaint against mirrorless, which you didn't bring up, which is that they take longer to go from off to having-taken-a-picture. Processors are gonna get faster; sensors are gonna get faster; eventually they'll get it so fast that you can't tell there's a startup time. They'll probably even figure out how to detect when you're raising a camera to your eye more elegantly than the "Look for a shadow over the viewfinder" method make it so everything's on and ready before you decide to take a shot. The disadvantages of DSLRs are intrinsic to the design. The disadvantages of mirrorless cameras are things we can chip away at over time with better tech.
>>3865854>>No. Those things were revolutionary in their impact. Mirrorless cameras are very much evolutionary.>Were they, though?Each one made certain types of photography possible which were previously extremely difficult or impossible.>Mirrorless lets you preview your exact exposure in real time, with any filters you want. This is really over played. You can typically spot meter as fast as you can judge the EVF and adjust, and most people are using AE most of the time any way. And that's coming from someone who admits that exp preview is a really natural way to work with full manual exposure (though I still hate EVFs).>It lets you do things like focus-on-a-bird's-eye autofocus. An evolution of AF tracking a moving subject which works for essentially all scenarios. (Who is shooting birds close up with f/1.2 primes?)>It lets you have video-levels of FPS for still photos. We were already nearly there with DSLRs. If you can't get a good shot at 16 fps...
>>3865860>(continued from >>3865854 because I'm a wordy bitch)>OVFs are nicer *for some people*, and OVFs are nicer *for now*. Personally, I prefer my X-T1's EVF to the OVFs on my DSLRs. EVFs have shit color, contrast, DR, can be grainy (newer ones are solving that), and are laggy as fuck at night and under continuous shooting. But they do give you exp preview and some cool on screen tools. In any case, they are not revolutionary.>Eventually, the refresh rate will get high enough and the resolution will get high enough that you'll have an extremely difficult time telling whether you're looking at an EVF or an OVF.The non-shooting refresh rate is not the issue.>The disadvantages of DSLRs are intrinsic to the design. The only real disadvantage is that you can't do any type of preview of the shot with digital processing, and you probably can't exceed 20 fps without a fixed translucent mirror. Other than that there really is zero difference between them, but mirrorless fags act like mirrorless is the beginning of photography and if you're still shooting an SLR you're hopelessly outmatched.It's tiring.
>>3865875An evolution of AF tracking a moving subject which ALREADY works for essentially all scenarios
>>3865779>Not even any rumors of upcoming DSLRs Nikon still has a couple lenses planned for F mount as well as a D850 successor.

Get in here brothers, need your advice on whether it's worth upgading to the new a7R IIIa from my A7R III?>The most notable change is a dramatic upgrade to the rear LCD resolution, which jumps from 1,440,000 dots to 2,359,296 dots. Two other changes come to both cameras as well: The Sony logo under the LCD monitor has been removed, and the USB port has been upgraded to USB 3.2 “SuperSpeed USB 5Gbps.”
>>3865076So what is literally stopping someone from just getting the better LCD screen and replacing it on their A7Riii with the 'a' model's screen? That literally seems to be the only difference.
>>3865396The screen is fed signal by a circuit board, you can't just swap screens most of the time. Maybe it could work, but chances are it wouldn't.
>>3865076we should all ask Sony if we can pay more for their cameras. they are a gift to photo
My camera doesn't have a screen
>>3865212Not sure Sony expects people to upgrade. They probably just slightly upgraded the production design for models that still sell because it was easily possible and an advantage to new buyers?>>3865421> they are a gift to photoThey certainly un-stagnated the market quite a lot.
What is this sort of red/green/blue lens flare called, and why does it occur?Subject of the image is the Buran, a Soviet Space Shuttle. So probably taken with a Soviet camera/lens in the late 80s, if that helps.
>>3865530>Image is way too sharp for thatthose produce the sharpest images out there tho>It's definitely diffraction of light as it's showing up on white light sources how regular and perfect it is is quite interesting thought as I have a diffraction filter and the results weren't this goodIt's Soviet diffractive optics at work. They got some advanced tech from the Germans after WWII that hasn't been matched today yet.Canon's DO lenses operate on a similar principle but they haven't managed to get as good yet.
to the people talking about tube/video/tv cameras... could such cameras in the 80s really produce still-image quality photographs like this?
