Nice photo, reminds me of my uncle who rides Triumph bikes until they are worthless and gets another one.

Somehow I never shared this photo before here.
Canon SL2 with a 24-105@ 105mm F4 1/1250 ISO200

There is no end point as there is still lots of work to be done and there isn't some fixed goals outside of specific projects who even then likely don't know when their research will be done.

For 500$ your at like a used Canon XA11 from someone like lensrentals which has 2 XLR in and a mini HDMI out

quick question I'm aware megapixels isn't everything but why is my 5 year old s21 ultra 108mp and a new camera 20mp, shouldn't these cameras be pushing 1000mp with gigantic sensors. is it a negative having more megapixels?

cameras are trying to get a good image by having a good sensor, phones now do a bunch of combining and software tricks to make a okay sensor look better. Most phones will take that 100mp sensor and downscale it to 25mph to help out their low light and noise performance meanwhile on a camera you can just have a big enough sensor to get good low light and noise performance.

Full Frame or bust!

I went fuji APS-C. I'm just saying canon still doesn't have any good value lenses

cannon finally pushing what their lenses can do. Still happy I didn't grab a APS-C R mount camera

Not sure how much I'm going to be able to this year but excited to see how the team does

Without a 3rd party camera app iphone time laps suck. 
I'd grab a insta 360 RS 4k for timelapse, you get full control and they'd don't have the the overheating and issues like the new go pros

A little taste of what I've been up to lately.

beautiful shot I wish I had time this summer to get out and explore.

I really hate the lights here, I think its sodium instead of LEDs. These trains were both late after a number of signaling and crossing gate issues delayed them
Fuji X-S10 Sigma 30mm 1.4@ F3.2 1/100 iso10000

it looks to just be a bunch of cheap converts. The case is likely worth a few bucks as is the HDMI splitter, otherwise its all junk

Is this good then? 

Canon rebel t5-exellent condition-$87

Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS - well used - $94

Uni sd card reader $15 new

Wasabi power 2 battery’s lpe10 - $18 new

@GDRRiley @Vilacom

I'd pay the extra 20$ for a good vs well used lens

I like Sabrents mini USB reader its like 8$ but you need to plug it right into a USB port. the reader you grabbed looks fine

Just as an update, I was looking at 1. Camera (first image), 2. Battery (https://amzn.to/3q9jp7G), and 3. SD card (https://amzn.to/3QewCH4). However, I still need a lens. My only want for the lens is good zoom and good quality imagery with max zoom.

 

 

Drop down to a T6 to save money for a better lens. The 18vs 24mp is not a big deal unless you plan some crazy crops. The batteries and SD card are fine, don't forget a card reader if you need one

I've posted lots in this thread using a T5 and 60D along with my newer Fuji X-S10. The image quality out of a T5 or T6 won't be massively improved by the 24mp sensor on a T7

the jack of all master of none on EF-S is a 18-135, I wouldn't go for the 28-300 or 18-270 as they compromise far too much on image quality.

I've got a few random cards like 2 Gskill 64gb but my bread and butter is like 20 Sandisk extreme 128gb with a few 64 and 256gb. So far I've not had a single card fail in my 15 years of using SD cards.
I've been meaning to pickup and try some Samsung SD cards given a number work quite well in abusive situations like dash cams. Their 256gb cards are also like 20$ right now on B&H.

The cannon T5 and T6 are good options but not at all setup for video, they lack microphone in ports and so any better audio would need to be done external.
I've used https://www.mpb.com to both sell and buy gear before. I like the fact someone has checked over gear and says exactly whats in the box along with photos of the items.
I'd pair that with 2-4 lenses. Typically a 18-55 and 75-300 or 55-250 are my recommendation but you could also grab 1-2 primes like a 50, 40 or 24

I don't use it for photos because all my work is stylized and for myself. If I was doing work for someone else and it was something where the color was important I would use one.

A T5 or T6 from https://www.mpb.com should be in the low 100s,

Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II is ~50$
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II in is ~60$

I'd get all these items used in good or better condition.
I'd then also grab 1-2 spare batteries and a 128gb or 265gb card.

I really like the mood in the picture, as the sunset floods the whole image in beautiful warm colors. The foreground with the rails between the plants and the background with the sea and clouds are truly idyllic.

Thanks, I really wanted a train in that sunset but it was super delayed.

The only minor points of criticism would be to make a slight crop to remove the car and the post. And (I'm sure you already know this) to increase the exposure time so you can lower the ISO, making the picture clearer and fully utilizing the camera's dynamic range.

I don't crop my photos till I pick what platform they are going on so most of the ones I share here are just the full shot.
I tend to embrace some noise in my photos, Fuji color science and filter pattern makes it look a lot more like film grain. I also need to be at ISO800 and above to get the most DR.

Some small white flowers in our garden at high resulution. (I later noticed there was dust on the lens so there are some visible spots)

Feels very sterile, I almost want a funky lens or filter to make it seem less perfect

I'm going to do 3 edits of the same image. Again I really embraced the grain here

Could you please add a notice that DP is discontinued (they will not do reviews on the new camera-gear), and add Petapixel?

I'll certainly add that if I have time to do a major rewrite

Crop of 108MP mobile photo. Edit in snapseed.

While the colors look nice everything is quite soft and has quite a bit of noise. The small sensor with high MP count isn't doing so well.

this feels so random, clean the object a bit more if you want a closeup

I should have set my ISO at 2500, shutter a little faster and maybe ran at F1.8 or 2 and just used the raw latitude but I wanted to push this lens on my first night outing with it

I just picked up a copy of it for fuji and so far I've liked it.
2 examples I shot last weekend.
