 Re: Couple's honeymoon -- what camera should we recommend they buy? | |
I really don't get the appeal of fixed lens cameras like the X100 series or the Sony ff version. I wouldn't want to only have 35mm. Idk that I'd recommend it for a beginner, but SL2 + 16-400mm ff equivalent zooms only about $800 right now (keh.) Plus the Fuji is just hard to find, and selling above MSRP. Hey it's cool maybe they'd like it for that reason. You're looking at getting an older ff DSLR (5D3?) + 16-35/4. + 70-200/4 L for the cost of 35mm fixed cameras ($2k)
Phones get on my nerves. Yes I've used them, yes I understand the benefits. I like 85mm+ ff equivalent for people photography, for one thing, that tends to be a problem. But maybe they'll get a camera, realize that the photos aren't really better just looking at the lcd , they don't want to carry it, which get on my nerves and I'd roll my eyes and think less of them
P&S's I'm not really interested in less sensor than m4/3. M4/3 is good you start to see issues with high iso though. I often don't like to move it changes perspective, as far as zooming with your feet
