need new camera for photography class

[Lil Chillbil]

I dont see any need to habe more than one name.

 

well because some of the names are copyrighted in different country's etc. i'm just spouting bullshit and defending canon for god knows why i'm going to bed. Maybe grab some tea and a subway first

personally i wish dearly that the micro 4/3 would simply die out 

 

Why must they die out? I thinking about a GH3 or maybe wait till the GH5. (rumours that they announce it in december) M43 cameras can do everything that your DSLR can do. Who needs a mirror?

I don't like the smaller size doesn't fit in my big ass hands.

The GH3 has a decent size. And with a battery grip it becomes even bigger

 

 

I dont need a big camera to impress people

M4/3 are decent for Photography, the only drawback I have with them are the large Crop factor they have when investing on Lens. Not to mention price point and lens availability for the M4/3 systems. A lot of M4/3 users invest on Lens converters that you can find online pretty cheap, They have all kinds of Lens converters that'll let you use old Analog Manual lens. Another drawback for converters that most of them are made to use on Manual lens, and not many are fond of manual focusing.

 

Mirrorless M4/3 are good cameras too, many would say they are more for the semi-photog/casual user. If you're looking to be more in photography, I would invest in a DSLR later on in the future.

 

But in all actually the Camera is just a tool and all the skills are on you.

I agree with like all of this.

I bought my GH3 this week for 1325 euro used. with the 12-35 f2.8 lens. Thats is a 1850 euro kit new. I also got some accesoires with the deal worth around 100 euro. So just look around for a good deal
