Camera for a computer photoshoot :P

Go to solution Solved by xQubeZx,

If you want super high quality images rent the A7r ii and a nice lens with it. I’d probably get the 16-35, 24-70 or a fast prime lens. 

 

If you don’t need high res files the 6D is a good option. Really any of these cameras would be good and proper lightning will help a ton for the images. But a fullframe camera like the A7r ii with 30+ megapixels will give really cripsy and detailed images you can crop in a lot on for example. I mean, if you are renting and they are somewhat similar in price then why not get something really good. 

So im doing a new build with custom cooling and all the amazing cool stuff, so i thought that i would spend around 120-130$ on renting a camera for a day and taking photos/video. There are only a few cameras that i could afford to rent and i will list them. I would also appreciate any recommendation on lenses/lighting. If you need anymore info just let me know.

Canon 80D

Canon 7D

I'd focus more on lighting than the camera.

Android magic, it means the previous owner was a power user. It doesn't matter day to day.

If you're worried about it don't buy it; it's your money. I think you should go for it but I can't make you do anything
