Recommended equipment for summer lotus shooting season

When it comes to summer, what comes to mind first? Is it cicada singing in the hot sun, laughter in the evening breeze, or tenderness and comfort in the moonlight of the lotus pond? For photographers, the lotus in summer is always an indispensable subject. The flowering period of lotus flowers is from June to September every summer, and it varies according to different conditions such as regions and varieties, but in general, August is the most suitable day to photograph lotus flowers.

How to choose the body for shooting lotus flowers in summer

You must shoot the lotus with a telephoto lens, and naturally you should shoot it with a camera. Some friends want to ask, and they all say that telephoto watches Canon. Canon has so many camera bodies, which one should I choose to shoot lotus flowers? Don't worry, I'll recommend some Canon cameras suitable for shooting lotus flowers.

Professional advanced new experience: EOS R6

For most people, the first choice for buying a camera now may still be a full-frame camera, preferably a micro-single camera. After all, the "bottom layer" is very important, but size and weight are also important. But someone must say, since they all choose micro-cameras, why not go further, including continuous shooting, video and so on, and it is best to have anti-shake of the fuselage? For this demand, my suggestion is EOS R6.

EOS R6 weighs about 598 grams, and its volume is about 138.4 97.5 88.4 mm, which can be said to be very compact. It also inherits the body appearance and buttons of Canon professional SLR camera, as well as various professional control buttons such as dial wheel and rocker, and the control experience can be described as a new level.

However, the biggest highlight of EOS R6 is the Quan Huafu CMOS image sensor with about 2,065,438+effective pixels, which is developed based on SLR flagship and brand-new DIGIC X processor. This is a hardware configuration only available in SLR flagship 1DX3, so some people affectionately call it "Xiao 1DX3".

In addition, the focusing system of EOS R6 has also been upgraded to the second-generation full-pixel dual-core autofocus. Compared with the traditional SLR focusing system, the focusing speed has fully evolved. It is also equipped with an autofocus algorithm for animal eye detection after deep learning, which can identify the eyes of cats, dogs and birds and keep tracking. This comfortable focusing experience without worrying about focusing will never be forgotten.

CMOS image sensor and high-performance DIGIC X digital image processor based on EOS SLR flagship EOS- 1D X Mark III not only bring more accurate focusing, but also bring purer high-quality performance. At the same time, EOS R6' five-axis anti-shake lens can provide up to eight kinds of hand shake compensation effects, and you can shoot lotus flowers by hand without tripod.

High-end choice of cross-border flagship: EOS R5

For those "adults don't make a choice, I want it all" and then add all the high pixels, 4K and 8K, I recommend EOS R5. Like EOS R6, EOS R5 has a variety of professional dials and rockers, and even a shoulder screen that R6 does not have. While maintaining professional control, it also brings a new and convenient control experience of flipping the touch screen. Its touch screen can not only change parameters and menu settings quickly by touching like a mobile phone, but also "shoot wherever you click" by touching the shutter, which is very convenient.

In the past, we always said that high pixels were of little use because there were too many compromises at that time. Now it seems that with the development of science and technology, high pixels are an indispensable configuration for a camera, whether it is the pursuit of extreme details, contrast or wider dynamic range performance. EOS R5 is equipped with a new generation of CMOS image sensor with an effective pixel of about 45 million pixels developed and produced by Canon, which brings more post-cutting space, more exquisite details and more delicate image quality performance.

Summarize the difference between R5 and R6 in one sentence, that is: EOS R6 has it, EOS R5 has it, R6 does not, and there are also. EOS R5 can be said to be the highest pixel model in Canon's dedicated micro-single. If you want a model with high pixel, high-speed continuous shooting, anti-shake and other professional functions, you must not miss R5.

The above equipment is recommended this time. Lotus is in summer. If you miss it and wait another year, your heart is not as good as your action. Pick up your Canon camera and go out and record the fun in those colorful summer days.
