What Camera Do You Use?

[slief]

Started with a Canon XT from there Canon 30D, Canon 7D, Canon 5D and the 5D mkII.

Now Sony a6300. Still use my Canon 100 macro with an adapter.

Camera bag is 15lbs lighter.

Isn't that cannon 100 equivenelty to about 135mm on your 6300? His does that work out for you? What is the minimum focal point/distance with that lens?

On the subject of the topic, I just got a Sony 6500 for XMAS. It's my first "real" camera and I have a lot to learn. My iPhone has been my go to camera for many years. I've been reading countless threads and articles and watching countless youtube videos to get a crash course on photography as well as this camera. So far, I've surprised myself with some of my pictures primarily in manual mode using different settings. I rented a Tamron 60mm macro lens to go a Sony A-mount to E-mount adapter that I have. I was shocked at some of the results. I only played with the white balance and F Stop.. I've read a lot on shutter speed. I am ready to apply what I think I've learned on my next round of pictures. All shots were taken in RAW and processed in Light Room. Lighting is Kessil 360WE except for those in my frag tank which are under GHL Mitras LX7206.

Here are a few I took with the Tamron 60mm macro.

Shot with a Sigma 60mm.

I think this was shot with the macro. I took so many I don't remember.

From the above article.

First: There is no best camera. Each brand and each model offers different features. There are recommendable cameras and today I am going to mention the most recommended cameras from people who have used them, but it's important for you to know that the best camera doesn't exist.
Second: What do you want? What are you looking for? It's important to know very well which features are important to you. Are you interested in a camera with a rotating screen? Must it have good video quality? Will you be taking many pictures at night? These questions will help you rule out certain models and keep the one that best suits your needs.
Third: Don't be intimidated by the terminology and the technicalities. I recommend you keep this document open while you keep reading, since in it I explain, in a simplified way, all the terms and specifications about cameras that could possibly scare you.

This pretty much sums it up as far as I'm concerned. As far as choosing a body: Don't get hung up on numbers more is not necessarily better, go to a shop and play, find what feels good in your hand, which button layout makes most sense to you(especially important for manual shooting). Spend your money on the glass a cheaper body with a good lens will take better pictures than a good body with a cheap lens.
