What kind of entry-level SLR camera should journalists use?

In fact, the journalist profession should really be equipped with a good camera body, which is not from the perspective of imaging quality, because it is better to use a better lens with a camera body than a worse lens with a camera body. Mainly considering the speed of continuous shooting, now the professional fuselage can reach 8 PCs/sec, and the newly listed Nikon D5 100 can reach 4 PCs/sec. If there are not many interview opportunities, D5 100 is enough, and the lens is recommended 16-85VR. Up to now, the optical design of APS format has been very mature. From the test results, it is a veritable reporter lens, because the imaging of each focal segment and aperture of this lens is very sharp. Compared with the bull's head 17-55 in APS format, the large aperture background blur is slightly worse, but how many backgrounds do you think journalists need to blur when taking pictures? So foreigners call this shot a reporter's shot!

Actually, I use D3 100, and I also have D2X, but I usually sleep at the bottom of the box, which is too heavy and too big! Especially the cool shutter sound, which is too loud and very eye-catching.

The LCD screen of D5 100 is rotatable. I didn't like the rotatable screen before, because it felt irregular and not upscale. Maybe it's because the high-end machine doesn't have a flip screen, but now my point of view has changed. I think the advantage of entry-level SLR is that it is light and convenient, so it is convenient to the end. The day before yesterday, I tried it on my friend's disk-to-screen DC machine Canon G 12. I think this kind of flip screen has advantages that can't be underestimated whether it is composition or trying to get a unique perspective, so I am also tempted by D5 100, because from the portability point of view, the size of this machine is the same.

As for the 16-85VR lens, I have used it for many years. It's really a lens whose price is less than half of 17-55, and its image quality can compete with 17-55! If you want to know more about the lens, I won't say more. There is an article in the forum of color shadow mowgli. This guy studies optics and writes professionally.

Don't take too long, you will have a more comprehensive understanding of Nikon's lens after reading it slowly!
