Which one does Sony recommend for baby cameras?

The budget is 6000 yuan to buy a digital camera for the daughter-in-law to take pictures of the children. What brand and model do you recommend?

When shooting children, it is best to use a large aperture fixed-focus lens. For example, 50/ 1.4 and so on.

If you like SLR, then recommend Canon EOS550D or 600D, with a body of about 4000 and an EF50/ 1.4 lens of about 2500.

If the SLR is too heavy, Sony NEX-5C (or 5N) is the first choice. Sony's single camera is fashionable in appearance, rich in functions and very playable. And the picture quality is super good. It is estimated that 4000 yuan is enough for a single lens kit.

Many parents will take their children out to take photos on weekends or holidays, leaving a record of their growth. But taking pictures of children is not like taking pictures of scenery, especially younger children. They are usually very active and won't stay in one place honestly for you to take pictures. At this time, you need to master some basic knowledge of photography, but you also need appropriate equipment to assist photography skills. Here I will talk to you about the matters needing attention when shooting and what camera is suitable for shooting children.

First, don't deliberately compose pictures of children.

Many friends are taking pictures of their children. They always want to take their most beautiful moments, so they will think of all kinds of actions and expressions in advance. But if the child doesn't pose for you to take pictures, you have to take pictures. When using a camera, not only should the continuous shooting function be turned on, but also the focusing speed of the camera is very important.

Just like this photo, the expression of MengMeng, a child, is not deliberately released, and it can only be done by capturing it. It is perfect to use the micro-menu on the flip screen at such an angle (further read "How to choose the micro-menu"). Sony's A6000 is a very recommended camera. The most eye-catching thing is that the machine adopts a powerful hybrid focusing system, which not only contains 25 contrast focus points, but also introduces 179 phase focus points. Even the Quan Huafu micro-camera A7, which also has a hybrid focusing system, has only 1 17 phase focus built-in. So it's a good choice to shoot children.

Second, improve the sensitivity to the dark indoor environment.

If you shoot a child in a dark room, you can't reach the safe shutter speed with a large aperture lens. If there is no tripod fixed, the photo is estimated to be empty. Therefore, when the continuous shooting function is turned on, we have to relatively improve the sensitivity in order to shoot the desired effect.

This photo was taken in a dark room. At present, the noise control level of SLR cameras is very high, so most cameras can be used within IS03200, which can completely cope with ordinary dark environment. I have been in contact with many SLR cameras. I think Canon 70D is a camera worthy of recommendation, which can meet the needs of small white family users in terms of practicality and playability. If you like to take portraits, you'd better choose a 50mm fixed-focus lens. Not only the price is close to the people, but also the focal length is easy to use. Large aperture can improve the shutter speed, but also highlight the background blur effect that the subject likes. You can definitely make your little baby super cute.

Third, use an external flash to shoot children.

There is one of the biggest taboos in taking pictures of children: children's eyes can't be stimulated by strong light. So we can't choose the built-in flash, because it can't rotate freely, so it is very harmful to children's eyes. Of course, it is not impossible to choose a flash, but when using an external flash, you should also use a little skill, that is, use the reflection from the ceiling to complete the light supplement. This can not only restore the child's little pink face, but also damage the eyes, which is definitely killing two birds with one stone for shooting children. Therefore, if economic conditions permit, you can consider buying an external flash.

How about 40 million pixels for a children's camera?

Yes, it works very well.

40 million pixels is 1, Sony A7RIII.

2. Fuji GFX50R

I took a portrait for the first time today. Indoor French windows are hung with white gauze curtains from afternoon to dusk. 63mm head bellows is loud, but white balance is fast and accurate. Face recognition is particularly good, including Fuji's exposure algorithm. In the past, 6d2 was used for backlighting, and only where to find 18 gray photometry, either dark or background exposure. When Fuji opens its face to identify backlit figures and backgrounds, the light processing is particularly good, and the background will not be too exposed. It is a comprehensive re-exposure of the face, background and the whole picture. The only drawback is that it is difficult to recognize the face when the light is dark and the face is on the side, and occasionally it will lose focus and change when it is in focus.

3. Sony A7RII

: 40 million pixels, a sharp tool for counting hair. The picture quality is touching, Sony black technology sensor. Sony is an absolute pioneer in micro-single. Volume has an advantage over SLR.

Pixel: refers to the smallest unit in an image represented by a sequence of numbers, called a pixel. Pixel is only the size unit of resolution, not the image quality.

The combination of pixels and resolution determines the amount of image data. For example, for two images of 1x 1 inch, the image with a resolution of 72ppi contains 72x72=5 184 pixels, while the image with a resolution of 300ppi contains 300x300=9000 pixels. When printing, high-resolution images contain more pixels than low-resolution images. Therefore, the pixels are smaller, the pixels per inch is higher, and more details and subtle color transition effects can be presented.

What camera does a child photographer use?

Let me put it this way:

If it is commercial children's photography, it needs to take care of children's eyes, so it needs high-sensitivity photography to operate in a dark environment, and the post-processing space also needs pixels. Therefore, full-frame cameras such as d6 10, 6d and 5d3 with excellent high sensitivity are better.

If it is for home use, children are active. In order to capture a more vivid picture, focusing and continuous shooting are more important. D7 100, d300s, 70d and 7d are recommended, and Sony's single battery series can also be considered. Continuous shooting is good, but the focus is average.

If family records are needed, it is recommended to have a portable micro-camera with a certain image quality, which is very convenient to carry around. If there is no requirement, an ordinary card machine can also be used, depending on personal preference. Brand comprehensive consideration: Sony Canon
