  1. Full frame sensors are one full stop larger. a f1.8 on crop is f2.8 on full.
  2. he was talking about crop vs full frame I think I'm going to upgrade to the d500 and see how it goes, as well as get some flashes. Any suggestions as to not break the bank?
  3. What is the thought with this graph? Would it just be worth to invest in better lenses? (lights too just to please @LaFemmeEnVert)
  4. Lighting for my style of automotive work is not necessary. However, it is a future investment. I'd rather upgrade my body now.
  5. Okay, so narrowed down to the 5d3 and d810. d500 is also a consideration, however, I'd like to move to FF if possible. So besides the megapixel difference and AA filter, what are some other key differences? How is the high noise performance for both of these? Dynamic range? What about the 6d2? Should I consider this at all over the 5d3?
  6. From looking at this, it seems that the 5d4/3, a7iii, or d810/850. From price alone, I can take the 5d4, a7iii, and d850 out. The lenses and body would be too much investment for me at this time. With that, a 5d3 is about $1500, D810 about $2000, and the Sony A7R1 is about $1000-1300. With that, how is the dynamic range of the 5d3 vs A7R1? For the prices I could get on these, the lenses are at least more reasonable. (lol @sony still) but Video is more of an afterthought, just want something easier to use that shoots in raw so I can edit. Grading the current Nikon video is kinda impossible to make look natural/ good. Is lens quality between Sony and Canon pretty equivalent? I know they're both 'pretty much' equal in terms of sharpness. Mainly in terms of the 16-35, 24-70, and 70-200 (2.8i bc price for canon, f4 for sony bc price). These would be my main lenses as I need the range for automotive photography as it is my main niche. Weddings are out of the picture for now, wouldn't be for a couple of years anyway. Couples have trust issues for hiring a 17 year old for their most important moment. More realistically, my work comprises 3/4 automotive and 1/4 portrait/other work. So the body would be a future proof move. And Mechanical Engineering is my major, photography is just a hobby I enjoy, which also pays for food and graphics cards. My instagram is better for pictures Instagram.com/sea.n_ My website is a little outdated.
  7. Hello, I am sean. I'd like to apply for that resident porsche finatic position. just kidding but I love porsches and I just hopped on this forum two days ago and will be a regular. Currently in line to receive a 89' Turbo and 97' C4S w/ aero package Some random facts: My first word was car I am an automotive photographer (hmu if you're in norcal). @sea.n_ on ig My all-time favorite racecar is the Porsche 917/30 and will argue for it all day long I hate the fact that Linus DOESNT KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE PORSCHE I think 996's are the worst looking generation of 911's and I am sure everyone will agree anyways, enjoy this pornography of that 89 930 turbo I mentioned earlier:
  8. Razer Blade Pro w/ external hard drive. if it's too expensive, get last years model
  9. Hello all, Currently, I have a Nikon D7200 with a Sigma 18-35 1.8 and 50-100 1.8 Is the Sony lineup worth moving to (A7R/ A7R2 keep popping into my mind)? And how much would I be looking to pay to fully switch over? I would most likely keep the 18-35 as it's a good video lens from what I've seen. The alternative would be to upgrade to the D810/850 depending on when I decide to pull the trigger. I'm honestly looking for more dynamic range of my pictures, as low light noise isn't terrible on the D7200, however, the dynamic range is trashy when trying to recover shadows. (this would mean selling off both lenses and purchasing something else, 24-70. 70-200 etc.) I mostly do photo work, but have an occasional school project for video, and want to get further into it. My niche is Automotive and Portrait with the occasional landscape. However, I want to get more into shooting events like weddings (tbh for the money) Link to my website <--- Some of my work. thanks in advance ps: probably wouldn't make the move until later, couple months. still in high school and about to go to college. photography is just a hobby that I happen to make money off of, and this would be seen as an investment
  10. What's up guys! missing some ram, but those are 16mb sticks.
  11. May I just say, this is impressive. I suggest hiding those molex connectors in the back and zip tying them to the cable management places on the back of the motherboard tray. My suggestion is maybe to look at an ultrawide
  12. I haven't ever heard of buydig, is it reputable?
  13. 1440p. Sorry for the confusion Will consider, thanks!
  14. Hello all, Anyways, a little background, I'm in need of a new monitor, as my current is terrible. It's a Dell 2407WFP-HC. The backlight heats up the top of the screen, the colors are annoyingly off, it's old, etc... I am a photographer (Automotive/ Portrait) and need something with more color accuracy, yet something I am able to game with. Currently have a 980 SC, running a mild OC. Not looking to upgrade video cards as of now, but is a possibility later down the line. Attached is just an iPhone picture of my screen vs the actual image (note: iphone exaggerated the reds a little). Some things I'm looking for are: About $400-500 Ultrawide 2k but not that 2440x1080p crap 100hz+ is a want, but I can live with 60hz. Thanks
