Can I start with the camera in the photography studio?

A person who sells SLR cameras said that the old cameras produced by the studio have a relatively new appearance. In fact, the camera is no longer working, mainly because of frequent video shooting, and the camera sensor has long since failed. They are used in large quantities and have a short replacement cycle, especially micro-sheets. So if you buy a SLR or micro-order from a photo studio or photo studio, you will be in into the pit.

But how do you know this is the studio camera? Those who sell cameras, for example, say that the newer they look, most of them are from photo studios. Because they change cameras for a short period of time and use them for a short time, they don't wear much and look newer. This is what he called discrimination. Therefore, friends who buy second-hand SLR cameras and micro-cameras should be cautious.

Never start with the camera in the photography studio, even if the surface color is good, you can't buy it; There is only one kind of camera that a photography studio can buy, that is, it will not work after the studio has been open for less than three months, but this kind of camera will also be risky and must be bought with the help of professionals.

First, why can't the second-hand photographic equipment of the studio be used as the main working tool of the studio, and the frequency of use is not lower than that of the computer used in the later stage of the studio; The principle of using the equipment in the studio is to use it completely within the service life of the equipment; Most electronic products, such as cameras, have a service life of about 3 years: if the equipment is useless or rarely used after a few months of purchase, this not only means that the machine depreciates in disguise, but also means that the machine has not created much value; Therefore, in the purchase of second-hand equipment, the most unpopular is the camera body eliminated by the photography studio.

In various photography studios, in order to ensure the film production rate, high-speed continuous shooting is definitely not used less. It would be better if it were an electronic shutter. If the mechanical shutter sweeps wildly, the damage to the shutter is very great; Then there are some large-scale activities. It is normal to use the shutter thousands of times a day, and it is normal to use the shutter hundreds of thousands of times in half a year. Therefore, the machines eliminated by many studios are almost close to "corpses".

Of course, there is also necessary protection: therefore, the equipment in many studios will be maintained regularly. For example, in order to protect the appearance of equipment, stickers will be affixed to maintain a relatively new appearance, which can fetch a good price in the second-hand trading market; And some studio cameras, looking at the shutter is useless for many times, are almost always on when they are used, and a recording lasts for several hours. This kind of use is very harmful to the photosensitive chip (COMS) (the video recording function of a camera is still different from that of a professional camera).

Second, what kind of second-hand equipment can I buy 1 for my own use (excluding imaging practitioners)?

Most of these devices have good colors and are not used frequently; Some equipment is bought back and even eaten at home, which is the most sought-after equipment in second-hand transactions.

2. Equipment of some second-hand equipment suppliers with good credit.

Generally speaking, the professional knowledge of second-hand equipment manufacturers is relatively high. When they receive second-hand equipment, they will screen the equipment in detail. At the same time, many second-hand equipment manufacturers also provide shop guarantees for a certain period of time. In order to maintain good credit, they will even be more cautious than buyers and will not lose their reputation because of that little money. When buying equipment from second-hand equipment vendors, we must understand that second-hand camera transactions are also transactions, and some professional sellers want to make money. Naturally, it is to buy low and sell high to earn a difference; If you can buy a reliable machine, a little more expensive is acceptable. If you think it's cheap, you might as well spend more money to buy a reliable machine.

Iii. Where to buy second-hand equipment 1, second-hand equipment trading market

The biggest advantage of buying second-hand equipment in the second-hand equipment market is that it can be traded face to face. Some reputable second-hand equipment vendors will also tell you in detail the possible problems of the equipment, provide some after-sales service after purchase, and some are also responsible for the recycling of trading equipment. For example, Wukesong and maliandao in Beijing have quite large-scale second-hand equipment trading markets.

2. Online transactions

In addition to buying second-hand equipment in physical second-hand equipment stores, the biggest transaction of second-hand photographic equipment is through online platforms, such as the equipment trading area of a fish or a bird. In addition to some online merchants in second-hand physical stores, there are more personal second-hand transactions and some professional second-hand dealers who sell second-hand equipment on the network platform. Although most of the time (except for transactions in the same city), you can see the video and photos of the equipment through the network, but some equipment dealers with good credit and good reputation are still trustworthy, especially those with good evaluation, long trading time and volume. Of course, there are also some profiteers and people with moral deficiencies who fish in troubled waters. It is suggested that inexperienced Xiaobai should not get involved easily.

Four, buy second-hand equipment to choose some key points 1, fuselage

Test whether there is a problem with the image sensor by taking pictures; Check the shutter times through the software (the camera must look at the use time); Judging the use degree of the camera by appearance, especially whether the straps, hot boots, camera protrusions and screws have been disassembled, the wear degree of the bottom of the fuselage, the wear degree of the lens bayonet and so on.

Especially don't underestimate the shameless degree of profiteers. Now the equipment transformation technology is very advanced, and it can almost create a machine with a brand-new appearance. When you meet this kind of machine, you must keep your eyes open. If you are not careful, you will be deceived.

2. lens

Compared with the fuselage, the judgment of the lens is much more intuitive. When purchasing, it is necessary to check the old and new lenses, the lens condition (whether there is mildew or dust), whether the mechanical part of the lens runs smoothly, and whether the autofocus is accurate (not out of focus).

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Personal suggestion Nowadays, many second-hand equipment manufacturers like to recycle college students' equipment, because many students study photography or buy equipment to travel, and their equipment is used in class and shown off when they go out to play (in fact, most of the time they take pictures with their mobile phones). Most of the time, these equipment will sleep in the camera bag in the dormitory. If you are interested in second-hand equipment, you can go around the surrounding university campus at the end of the semester, and maybe you can receive cost-effective equipment.

But for those who don't have any camera knowledge, second-hand equipment is optional, but when buying, you must buy it under the guidance of experienced friends, so as not to fall into the pit.

The machines in the studio are worn out, and there are at least 70,000 or 80,000 shutters.

Buy cheap toys for children, don't start with your own use. If the camera is basically damaged and the maintenance cost is high, it is better to use it second-hand in the hands of others who restrict frequent use.

It's wrapped outside, but it's hard to make. This is work equipment.

Generally speaking, it is not recommended to buy and use it too hard, which is basically the end of its life. If you don't know yourself, you are not an expert. Don't touch it.

Too much unpredictability

Don't buy it. Play with second-hand photographic equipment in circles, just like people who play with second-hand cars. If you know nothing about machinery, don't touch it. The equipment in the studio is used frequently. Although it may not take long, the shutter times are already high and the sensors are nervous. Buy new ones. I have bought many kinds of cameras and lenses, except a seagull 135mm medium focus lens, which is second-hand. Now I have added a connecting ring to Canon 700D, which can be regarded as fixed focus. Everything else is new. If I don't have much money, I'll buy a low-grade and practical one.

Novices don't recommend secondhand, let alone secondhand! Unless your relatives are experts or the camera shop has a doorman! ! Buy a new machine only recommend ssss or factory outlets in JD.COM!

Because the novice problem can't be seen, when you can see that the return period has passed, it will affect your mood too much! !

If you play by yourself, forget it. The machines in the studio are too labor-intensive, and the environment has been encountered. In case they have any problems, add some money to buy peace of mind.

Appearance, shutter and sensor are the biggest problems in eliminating chickens in high-intensity work. It's best not to buy it.

The equipment in the studio is public, but not your own. Who cares? Usually used very frequently, don't buy it! [Tears streaming down her face]
