I am going to buy a second-hand Quan Huafu SLR camera. Any suggestions?

It is a good suggestion to buy a second-hand Quan Huafu SLR. Brothers Maye especially recommend beginners who have a certain pursuit of photography to start with second-hand Quan Huafu SLR.

If friends who have seen Mustang's previous views know that Mustang's advice to novices is to start with SLR, and the price of the first SLR should not exceed 5000.

There is a premise here, that is, if you buy a camera just for speed and convenience and pursue better image quality than a mobile phone, then it is a better choice to buy a micro-menu directly. This answer is mainly aimed at photographers who have ideas about photography and want to learn more.

First, the choice of the first camera-SLR 1 5000 or less, why SLR?

Compared with micro-single, SLR has higher requirements for photographers. The micro-single is closer to the mobile phone, simulating exposure and even simulating depth of field, plus the blessing of body anti-shake and eye-controlled focusing, making it easier for photographers to take good photos. But it is not good for laying a good foundation for photography.

For example, we know that students majoring in photography must start from film photography, understand film, understand the process of photo printing, and even need to understand the whole process by themselves.

From SLR to learning, you can actually learn basic knowledge such as photometry, exposure and focusing, laying a solid foundation for subsequent continuous improvement. In the micro-unilateral aspect, it is easier to learn and use than SLR. It is easy to understand and master the operation of SLR and learn micro-single.

Just like learning to drive, starting with manual transmission and learning manual transmission, then driving an automatic transmission car is not a problem! 2. Why should it be less than 5000?

Beginners don't recommend using expensive cameras. The main reasons are as follows:

First, cameras that are too expensive are prone to stress. For example, they will be cherished and cannot be used at will. But if you want to improve your photography level quickly, a lot of practice is essential.

Secondly, most beginners don't have a clear understanding of photography, and they can't know how long their future photography can go and where they are going. Maybe macro is suitable for you, maybe portrait is suitable for you, and maybe bird shooting is suitable for you. These three shooting contents have completely different requirements for equipment. Don't expect to be equipped in one step.

Third, the more expensive the camera, the better. It depends on the subject matter. For example, we all know that Canon's highest-end camera is 1DX3, which is very suitable for shooting dynamic pictures, such as sports photography. However, when it is necessary to shoot portraits or commercial still lives in the shed and need large-format output, 20 million pixels are stretched!

So it is not a good camera, but it is suitable for beginners. Brother Ma Ye believes that beginners need a lot of practice and their demand for photography is uncertain. It is normal that you need to update your equipment soon after you get started. Therefore, buying a 5000-yuan camera to start learning can reduce the cost of learning and upgrading.

Second, choose Quan Huafu-the only way for most senior photographers. There are many arguments between Quan Huafu and APS-C, and these two frameworks have their own advantages and disadvantages. However, the statement that "the bottom kills people" is quite correct. The imaging unit area of Quan Huafu is more than twice that of APS-C frame.

Large area means low pixels per inch per unit area. Because electronic components interfere with each other, low density means less interference, so the imaging quality is higher and the noise is less.

At the same time, Quan Huafu has no focal length conversion coefficient and has advantages in understanding focal length, depth of field and shooting large scenes.

Moreover, full-frame cameras are synonymous with professionalism. A larger frame has a larger body, and at the same time, the button layout of the body is more calm, which can get a better sense of control.

Therefore, for photographers who pursue photography, Quan Huafu is the same choice. Instead of changing from half frame to full frame, it is better to choose Quan Huafu from the beginning to avoid lens switching.

Third, second-hand or brand-new? -The first camera is the same as the first car. Second hand is a good choice. From the perspective of learning, second-hand is a purchase choice that should be actively considered. And if the target is Quan Huafu, buying a second-hand full-frame camera within a budget of 5,000 yuan is almost the only option. Because of the full-frame cameras on sale, there is basically no price below 5000.

Second-hand equipment can be used normally as long as it is properly selected. On the second-hand platforms such as idle fish, as long as the seller's sesame credit score is not less than 700, the chances of buying reliable and good equipment are still great.

Fourth, the specific recommendation of second-hand Quan Huafu-When good goods are cheap, Brother Ma will recommend two full-frame cameras suitable for second-hand purchase and novice use according to his familiar Canon cameras.

1、EOS 6D

6D series is the entry-level model of Canon Quan Huafu SLR. Its main features are plastic body, single card slot and less professional control performance, which is suitable for entry-level photographers. Although the 6D is an entry-level camera, the image quality of the imaging unit is still good, especially the high sensitivity. The fuselage also integrates the wifi function, which is suitable for fast image transmission.

6D is a model who has just been removed from the list. The price before delisting was more than 5000 yuan. Now the second-hand market is about 3000 yuan, that is, you can buy machines with better colors.

2、EOS 5D2

This is also the first generation machine emperor, and the 5D series is the second flagship model of Canon. 5D series positioning is higher than 6D. 5D2 is the second machine in the 5D series. It is because of the appearance of 5D2 that the legendary name of 5D3 series was established. 5D3 and 5D4 are both classic models.

The pixel, imaging quality and video capability of 5D2 are enough even today. A solid body and good control are the sharp tools for beginners to take pictures.

At present, 5D2 has been delisted for a long time. If you want to find a camera with good color, you need to carefully screen it.

To sum up, Brother Ma thinks that second-hand Quan Huafu is cheap, and it is a good equipment for beginners to learn and even advance. Although devices like 6D and 5D2 have been out of the market for a long time, there are still many professional photographers who use them to shoot many very good works. The so-called equipment is not the key to limiting your photographic ability, but your mind is! I hope beginners can establish a correct concept of equipment, use equipment rationally and take more and better photos!
