Which SLR should I buy when learning photography?

For beginners, first understand the purpose of your camera.

Should I mainly take portraits or landscapes?

Should we shoot four times a year or four times a month?

Do you want to study and improve in photography, or do you just want to have fun.

If the poster is like me and wants to focus on portrait photography and record the beautiful moments in life.

Then I will only recommend one package, which is 6D (or 6D Mark 2) + 50 1.4. I think this set of equipment is a must-have for beginners for portraits, for the following reasons:

< p>1. Beginners mostly use Canon to shoot people, and 6D is Canon’s entry-level full-frame camera. It has high sensitivity and good imaging quality, and the focus is on full-frame! Very useful for portrait photography.

2. 50 1.4 is a large aperture lens, whether you buy it from the original Canon or the subsidiary Sigma, it will be fine. The key point is that this standard fixed-focus head is closer to the human eye's vision. It can advance, attack, retreat and defend. The distortion is small, and it is suitable for beginners to practice composition and positioning.

3. And the final point is. . . . . This package is very cheap! ! ! ! For a full-frame camera with a good standard fixed focus lens, the parallel import price is around over 10,000 yuan. The final imaging is very cost-effective.

In accordance with international practice, here are some pictures I took as examples:

All the photos below are from the 6D+50 1.4 package.

The full frame of the 6d can actually help photographers take good photos in low-light environments.

After adding the 50 1.4 calibration head, the foreground and background will be blurred to a certain extent, making the subject more prominent.

In the case of backlighting, a large aperture lens has a good amount of light, making it easier to capture backlighting.

The light spot in the back of this photo is also caused by the large aperture.

The foreground in this picture is actually some leaves, but after being blurred with a large aperture, it becomes a hazy beauty.

Summary:

If you want to learn portrait photography, this set of equipment 6D+50 1.4 is still good and recommended.

The above is my answer.
