What brand camera / medium do you use?

LemonSpice

This reminded me of something. I find it a little funny how Sony RX100 (1st gen) can be bought for around 400€, but RX100 II is 160€ more for mere slight upgrades, and done again with RX100 III... I wish the prices dropped a little more for last gen ones, hurts my wallet a little just seeing them (yay for student budgets...) and can't find any second-handed that doesn't cost as much as new ones. I guess gotta wait for more of suck it up.

 

EDIT:

 

 

Yeah... Their cameras are great and they are actually willing to take risks by trying new things (unlike what other major brands seem to do), but the lack of compatible lenses just kill them.

They have to take risks though. It's the only way they can keep moving up, but at the same time they're isolating their existing market with the flurry of upgrades and they're also not entirely commited to their new tech (remember XQD memory cards?).

yeah it seems they are super dedicated to FE though its just taking its time

 

Looking at the 35 f2.8 but beyond that im probably getting the A mount Tamron 24-70 f2.8, and some Samyang cine f1.4 or t1.5 primes for video

 

Or Might grab some Canon glass to force me to buy a 5dmk3 or c100 (or similar)

Metabones powered adapter and Canon glass may be the best bet since you're tempted to get a Canon body.

aye, have been eyeing them up, if I decide to go that way, probably the best, since I can get some sexy canon glass, and like a c100 for videos, and use my a7 for portability

 

The other option is to some M mount voightlander lenses, really well priced, beautiful optics, they are tiny too

The A7 is not €9000 its like 1000 body only or 1400 with lens

even the most expensive A7s is less than 2000

Ehmm, meant the pentax, removed the A7 part form your quote, which acutally is a pretty nice thing, i have a lowlight crush on the a7s, if i could only make it reasonable to put my savings in it.

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

Honestly don't know yet. We used to use a few twin lens reflexes like the Rolliflex in school, but i've been looking at 500C series Hasselblad's. Partly due to the fact that there are a crap ton of 500C series cams out there and the dream of one day owning a digital MF (they make a digital back for the 500C's).

I would recomend for cheep the yashica 124g

Thanks. I was lucky to get them at good prices as I was willing to wait... I don't have any Leica lenses, mainly using Voigtlander (50mm & 35mm).

@JEman99 Yeah, I have have the CV 35mm 1.4 Single coat.  It gives less contrast.  I also have the CV 50mm 1.5 which I really like.  I really woulndn't mind getting the 15mm but that's something I have to save up for...

that 15mm is a black hole it sucks everything in for street photo at f/8 it shoudl be almost no focusing needed

Sony A3000 with the kit lens... Was more cheap than my current graphics card in my PC.. I want something better like a Nikon D7x00, Nikon D5x00 or even a Nikon D3x00.. I won't be shooting much video, but I CAN with a CANon.

I currently have a Nikon DSLR but I am contemplating on getting a Sony Mirrorless (a6000 maybe) as a secondary camera I can easily bring around but I am still deciding on what lens to pair it with.

then ensure getting a(n) adapter for nikon or canon lenses, since sony lenses are very underperforming or just way to expensive for the amount you have to pay.
