How to choose a camera to take pictures?

When you want to take beautiful photos, besides learning your own photography skills, there is also how to choose your own camera. Find a camera phone or buy a camera! I believe many people have such troubles, and Bian Xiao has specially compiled this camera selection strategy, hoping to be useful to everyone!

First of all, let me talk about a knowledge point, that is, the problem of Quan Huafu and non-Quan Huafu.

Simply put, it is one of the most important components of our digital camera imaging, that is, the image sensor.

The image sensor is equivalent to the film of the film machine. The traditional film size is 24 mm * 36 mm

So in the digital age, if we buy a digital camera, its image sensor size is equal to 24mm*36mm, we say that this digital camera is a full-frame camera.

Usually, when we look at the parameters of digital cameras on the website, we will write them down, such as the following figure.

1. Is full-frame camera imaging better than non-Quan Huafu?

This is for sure, because the bigger the image sensor, the more advantages it has in restoring color and light and shade tolerance! With this advantage, everyone will feel this way when they have more practical opportunities. Because if you are a beginner, after all, you don't feel deeply about these things.

But be sure to buy a camera based on reality. According to the budget.

In college, it was very convenient because the movie machine handed in homework. At that time, there was a KodadaZ740 digital camera with large zoom, which cost about 2000 yuan. I bought an assignment at that time. I used many scenes, but I couldn't shoot them at all, and many applications didn't work. Later, I borrowed money to buy a Canon SLR 400D, which was my first SLR camera.

Why buy Canon? At that time, 300D was the first digital SLR of Canon camera, which seemed to be 6 million pixels. The college bought a batch for us to use, and we got used to it, so when I bought my own camera, it was all Canon.

My first SLR lens used Sigma 18- 125. A lens with a camera or something is about 7000. Around 2007, 7000 yuan is all I have.

Why don't I buy a more upscale camera? Why not buy original lenses? Now that I think about it, I bought an entry-level SLR, which is amazing. Because I bought a camera with the borrowed money, I bought an advanced camera without thinking. Buying a suitable second-hand horse is also to save money!

So, in fact, the budget actually determines what level of camera you buy.

Second, buy Canon or Nikon?

In my position, if my relatives ask me what kind of SLR camera I want to buy, I usually recommend Canon, because I use Canon more, so why do you find that sometimes your predecessors who have been playing photography for a long time will recommend you to buy Nikon or Canon, because he is used to it. And not necessarily familiar with another brand.

For example, you use Nikon to ask a photographer who uses Canon how to set up a Nikon camera. If the photographer doesn't play often, he can't tell the problem immediately and needs to explore, and vice versa!

But whether you use Canon or Nikon, there is no problem. It's all about which camera is more pleasing to the eye

Think about it. Now we see some famous photographers. Do you care what camera he uses? No, even people can take good photos with their mobile phones, because the creativity of good photos lies in people's minds, not in equipment.

In daily life, we also see many people holding good cameras, but the photos they take are still very poor, so we should learn to think more in the future.

Third, is it better to buy a SLR or not? Why do we see some masters slowly using card machines or micro-orders?

At present, unless I really can't resist the SLR, or the SLR is declining, for me, if I go out to create and shoot, I will still bring my SLR. Although it's heavy, if I change the micro-order now, it means my head is good. Must I change them?

Some people say that your Canon lens can be used in micro-single, but it is not enough to have an adapter ring. In fact, as you know, what really matters is the lens. I changed the canon lens to a micro-single. How much can this reduce? This is an unnecessary practice.

So it's not a special case. I will continue to play SLR. Sometimes, I know a lot about film photographers. Why do I have to use film sometimes? Because I like taking pictures slowly. Although the SLR is not so bad for the time being, I may choose the micro-single when my physical strength declines in the future, but at least not now!

Another student likes thick things, such as thicker tripods and bigger backpacks. These students all use SLR, so they need to get a handle. Everyone looks tired, but enjoys it, so this kind of classmate is also suitable for SLR.

Fourth, who is suitable for micro-orders?

For more than ten years, some DSLR have been successful in photography. For him, photography no longer cares about any tools. For example, I saw a landscape photographer win all the prizes, but I still want to travel. I don't want to be so tired, and I won't get up early and come home late again. Then, for convenience, I brought a micro-bill. Seeing the right record, the desire to take pictures is not strong. Blockbusters have lost their appeal to him.

Some people, take a SLR and add 70-200, and shoot people with sore hands all afternoon, the next day. This kind of person is more suitable for micro-single.

For example, in kindergarten, I saw many parents taking pictures, and they all like to take micro-orders. The lens is equipped with a wide-angle to medium-focus lens, which is in place at one time. It is also convenient and not heavy. They don't often change their heads. This is a pure record. This scene gives me the feeling that I bought a very advanced card machine to shoot! This situation is also suitable for micro-orders.

Some friends who like to travel and take photos, if they don't need to get up at 5 o'clock or wait until 8 o'clock, then spend the whole time with their families, eat, take photos and bask in the beautiful sunshine. These are all suitable for micro-orders.

Some photographers with fever, when you went to many photography websites like us, also took many photos that you were satisfied with. Now, you are more likely to spend some time feeling the mood along the way and care more about the time in a daze. You can also choose micro-single.

If your passion for photography is still there, but you can't keep up with your physical strength because of your age, but you still like to watch the sunrise and sunset, you can also use the micro-single!

In fact, I think you can buy a micro-order without going out to create or playing with photographers!

If you buy a camera, you never want to upgrade, change the lens or something. Then micro-sheets are the best.

If you want to shoot a product, it is still a SLR for the time being.

If you want to open a studio, of course, it is a SLR.

If you want to travel to make money, of course, SLR is more suitable for your creation.

If you want a wedding photo, of course it is a SLR.

If you are a young man, you might as well feel the SLR.

If you are a woman, what you care about is the feeling of pressing the shutter without pinching. SLR, of course.

If you like to use viewfinder instead of LCD, I also recommend SLR.

5. Is there a difference between SLR and micro-single image quality? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

At the beginning of the micro-camera, this battery was a big disadvantage. Because of the LCD frame, this power consumption is too large, including the current problems. Second, the focus is lagging behind. Of course, now there is 5-axis anti-shake. After using black technology, the focus and continuous shooting are very good, so if you have enough time to shoot the scenery quietly, the picture quality is actually the same as that of a SLR.

What's the point? I think there is a manipulation problem besides the students above. For example, many people, after buying a micro-order, finally use a SLR, indicating that they are not used to the manipulation of micro-orders!

I already have a SLR. Can I buy a micro-order as a backup machine?

Sure, that's no problem. You can use a SLR when you create, and you can switch to a lighter machine when you go out with your family.

I have a 5D3 now, and then I use 6D as a backup machine. However, if we can change them, I still think they are both 5D3, or one 5D4 and one 5D3, because if we compare the image quality, I think 6D3 is not as good as 5D3.

For example, when I shoot a scene, I don't know if it's a psychological effect or something. I always feel that 5D3 movies are like waxed leather sofas, while 6D scenery photos always feel that I just washed my face in winter without moisturizing cream. This is my feeling.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is everyone's feeling, because just like buying a car, some people like cars, while others just like SUVs. So think again from my point of view!

Ok, let's take a look at different entry-level SLR and micro-single!

The two giants of SLR, I have already told you.

Seven, each manufacturer will have the choice of entry, intermediate and advanced! It depends on everyone's budget!

What do we usually think of the budget? At present, prices can be found online, and there are basically comparisons. For example, the price of flagship stores is generally cheaper than that of physical stores!

This involves many problems, such as buying licensed goods or parallel goods? Generally, parallel imports are cheaper and normal. But if you are unlucky alone, for example, the probability is 1% for you, then there is nothing you can do but admit it. If you buy licensed goods, you can guarantee it! Remember, this camera lens is more of a second-hand pit. You said that anti-counterfeiting is like a battery, and it will not have such a strong anti-counterfeiting ability for the time being.

There are also anti-shake and anti-shake things. Like the last 70-200 generations? Actually, how much do you think these can be updated? Not much, just a little improvement will hang some consumers and buy new ones. Actually, I don't think we should care about these things. Do you think that not many people in the first generation played photography very well? So there is no need to say that you are always chasing new things. The key is whether it is necessary.

My suggestion is that if there is no trustworthy physical store nearby, you can buy it in the flagship store. Now that we have all the basic flagship stores, we have more money, but it will be more practical. If you are used to buying in a physical store, then basically friends around you will have a word-of-mouth effect. Equipment boss is also in business. If a person is too glib, I believe his business will not be much better! So at present, I still buy mostly in physical stores!

Eight. Selection of Canon Camera

Canon's entry-level machines have a code name, which is updated every year, such as 300d-350d-400d-450d-500d-600d-700d-750d-800d. Generally speaking, when a new product comes out, the old product will be discontinued in a year or two, and now the basic manufacturers are also. This entry-level machine is about 4000 yuan for a single machine and 5000 yuan for a set of heads. This is the current price. I usually look it up online. Because the equipment price is different every day, you can add a gap of about 1000 on this basis, which is basically your most basic budget.

Later, Canon appeared a relatively junior entry-level SLR camera, such as 1500D3000D, which means more numbers. These are relatively entry-level SLR cameras, which can be owned at around 3,000 yuan (including camera lenses). Basically, these are just to cultivate the market, just like when you buy Canon, you may also consider Canon when you upgrade in the future. That's why.

When the mid-range machine is not in Quan Huafu, it is usually 30d-40d-50d-60d-70d-80d, and the price of this level is basically a gradient of about 8,000 yuan (including sets of machines).

But now, I don't think any camera in the mid-market is an entry-level full-frame camera. For example, because of market competition, Canon introduced a quasi-full-frame camera, which means that the 6D-6D2 level I mentioned is basically 8- 1 10,000 for a single camera (excluding the lens).

In fact, you should also see that there will be a gap of about 2000-3000 between different levels of Canon, and sometimes it will slowly lure you to the bait. Because he will tell you, anyway, you bought 8000 yuan, so you might as well spend 1000 yuan to buy one from Quan Huafu. Add the lens, and you will find that your original budget was 10000 yuan to buy the camera body and lens. Finally, you find that you spent 13000 yuan on the lens and camera body, which is basically a pit for everyone who buys a camera, so you have to.

The high-end market has 5D3-5D2-5D3-5D4. At present, 5D3 has been discontinued, and the body price of 5D4 is around 6.5438+0.8 million. If a set of nose is equipped, it should be around 2.3-2.5 million.

There is also commercial grade 1Dmark2, which will be higher, so I won't say this according to your needs. Students or enthusiasts who use these machines now are basically burly people, so they deserve this machine.

Generally speaking, everyone has an adequate budget. I definitely recommend 5D4. Others can follow the budget. It's like when I graduated from college, although I knew that high-end models were better, I wouldn't buy a machine regardless of the actual situation. Do your best.

In addition, Canon also has a 7D2 featuring continuous shooting Express. Actually, I think it's better to get on a big machine than to shoot birds. So I won't say much about this.

As for Canon's micro-single, it is beginning to work slowly now, but to be honest, we always feel it first. For example, when Sony's micro-single slowly occupied the photographer's mind, how did Canon respond?

This is what we often say. Many times, the best in SLR may not be able to reverse Gan Kun quickly. This is also the case.

Remember, what I said above is basically the price of the fuselage and the nose. Later, we will discuss the lens. The lens group is too rich. Although we often use this, it is enough for fans to struggle. So we will explain later.

Nine. Selection of Nikon camera

Then let's take a look at Nikon's choice. In fact, Nikon and Canon are basically the same product line.

The quasi-entry-level SLR D3200-D3400 series for civilians contains about 3,000 yuan of lenses (equivalent to Canon's entry-level SLR series).

Introduction to SLR, in fact, Nikon used to have D50-D70-D80-D90 series, and later changed the name of the series.

Therefore, Nikon's D5000-D5600 is actually equivalent to Canon's 800D series, so it is about 5,000 yuan including the kit.

Nikon's mid-range model is D7000-D7500 series, equivalent to Canon's 80D series, about 8000 yuan.

Nikon's entry-level Quan Huafu is D600 and D6 10. I remember there was a gray door before, so the reputation of D600 has not been very good. Please be careful with this, because I have never used it, so I have no right to speak. After that, there is a series, which is the D700 series. The budget should be around 1.3 million.

At present, the transformation of Nikon's high-end model D850 is still very successful. Nikon, for example, does not have four modes of multiple exposure. At this time, the D850 will be available and the screen will be improved. Anyway, I think Nikon really pulled back a game.

So if you like high-end Nikon SLR, you can start. The budget reference price is 23,000 yuan.

Then Nikon's high-end model is D5, I don't need to say it! The key is your physical strength.

We also made it clear when we got to Nikon. Everyone must start with the preferred budget, right?

But there is such a problem in reality. What is this? For example, my budget is 20,000, but I don't think it is enough to buy a D850. But can I buy a D8 10, at least it will be better? There are many entanglements.

I think this is okay. The key is to find a store you can trust, because after the new model comes out, the old model will have many second-hand possibilities.

So choosing a camera is a very tangled process. It's like I want to provide some equipment for students to choose from, but the water is too deep. I'd better do my teaching honestly and sell some simple accessories. Some pocket money is hard to earn!

X. Sony micro-single selection

It is undeniable that Sony can't beat Nikon Canon in the SLR era, but in the micro-single era, after finding the pain points of users, it quickly occupied the photographer's mind.

If you don't know Sony carefully, you will be dazzled by Sony's products. So let's keep it simple. Let's choose between Quan Huafu and Quan Huafu.

Generally speaking, Sony's NEX series was basically discontinued before.

Later, the name was changed to a6000 series, so how to change these later depends on the manufacturer, so today our article is updated around 2065438+June 2008. Look at the product release form later and update it later.

If you want to get started with micro-single, I estimate it is @6000 series, probably according to your budget. 3000-8000 can't wait.

Then there is Quan Huafu's micro-single, Sony Point.

The latest A7R3 of A7R series (flagship machine) has a fuselage of about 20,000, and the lens will cost more than 30,000, so this is not cheaper than the professional SLR Quan Huafu.

A7 series (dark shooting of main video) The latest A7SII, with a fuselage of about 16000.

The latest A7III (entry-level micro-single Quan Huafu) fuselage of A7 series is about 14000.

As you can see, although the micro-single is light, it is actually a little more expensive than a SLR with a lens, so the camera is either small or cheap.

At this point, some people may say that the black card is Sony's RX series. Actually, it came out of the card machine. Although black cards have a good reputation among photographers, I personally think that Huawei's AI photography and other mobile phones will become more and more powerful in the future and can completely replace black cards. There is no need to buy another one.

But you said, I like the feeling of holding the camera. Then I have nothing to blame.

XI. Fuji micro-single selection

Speaking of micro-singles, actually Olympus was quite popular when it first came out. I don't know how I retired slowly. As for Fuji, many people say that the color is good, but in fact I think it is better than I feel. At present, Sony has a Quan Huafu micro-single, which shows its strength, but Fuji is also an X-PRO. Let's see how you feel. Another point is that his budget is still relatively pertinent!

Then, I won't introduce some other micro-orders, because it is unnecessary. Good manufacturers basically meet the choice of primary, intermediate and advanced.

So now it's time for everyone to experience it.

Twelve, the choice of mobile phone

Mobile phones certainly recommend Huawei's P20PRO. After all, powerful night AI is a good creation for enthusiasts.
