Photograph and Camera talk
-
Does anyone have experience with a Sony DSC-RX100? I'd like to get into photography and it seems to have a lot of good features for an amateur photographer and I like that it's compact enough that I would actually carry it regularly. Any input or recommendations would be appreciated!

Not a stills camera, but this is what I want for Christmas.

It's a 4K camera for $4K. They write onto SSDs, use standard connections, and all the smarts are in the software. I can see exactly where they're coming from in the design, and it makes sense to me as an IT nerd.
They've also announced a pocket camera, which has a 2.5K resolution for $999. It takes Micro 4/3 lenses, but could be easily adapted for Leica glass.

May have found some money in my company's books to enable a Canon 6D, 24-70 USM II L
Just got a 6D. Love it so far.

hi guys, i find it very hard to find information online about this, or maybe i'm just not looking hard enough.. everyone's either trying to sell me something or blatantly lying to me… so well my question is,
What's the difference between a macro lens and a normal one?
I know for sure a macro lens can focus nearer objects, but what I want to know about is if it will fare the same as normal lenses? Like auto focus timing and all, I have a 100mm macro lens and it's so slow.. takes forever for me to focus on anything. I need a lens with a close focal distance and will fare well in day to day event documenting! I'm not sure what to get though.. Any suggestions guys? (I'm using a Canon body & open to 3rd party lenses)

many modern "normal" lenses can focus plenty close enough for most of our needs, and a macro lens is bound to have some trade off, be it higher cost, larger physical size, longer focus throw, slower AF, etc. so if you don't have a strong need for the macro performance I'd ignore them. Just my thoughts

Entry level DSLR, which one….
Nikon D3000
or
Cannon EOS 400D
Help?

I am a Nikon man. Only cause my dad is and all Nikon lenses fit Nikon bodies. Not sure about cannon. Have a look at a Nikon d90. An older model to the d7000 i think. So you should find a good price and has a lot better features the the d3000 you are looking at. There is a pro shop in London that I got a second hand lense from that might have a good deal. I will look for there info if you want?

Ask Tommy, it's presumably he who will be using it most…...

you cant go wrong with either system Gav. Personally, I feel Nikon makes a superior body but, Canon makes better glass.

I will take my conflicted thoughts to Tokyo and search the second hand dealers of Akihabara for a bargain.
