Chuzhao Facebook Ad Digital Camera
Просмотров 3,7 тыс.19 часов назад
I’ve always wanted a TLR digital camera and when I saw this ad on Instagram and Facebook, I knew that I’d have to bite the bullet and buy this little toy camera. Please understand this is a toy camera. You can’t really adjust anything on it. It’s very confusing to understand how to do different operations on it so if you buy this, you should have very low expectations, but I do think this camer...

Sigma 70 200 Initial Thoughts

I'm borrowing a 70-200 f2.8 from Sigma USA for a long term test. In my first weekend I was fortunate to be assigned to cover 4 basketball games in 2 days. It was a great first weekend to get used to the lens for games that matter.

My dad Ira Kennedy and step mom Kathy Kennedy are living their best lives together in a small, rustic house in the Texas Hill Country. My dad has a very long career as a painter, writer and storyteller. My stepmother has come to realize her passion for quilting more recently. Together they lead a quiet life as artists that they both describe as “blissful.”
SLR Magic 35mm f1.2 Cine lens-I love it.
Просмотров 149Месяц назад
I’m really enjoying the SLR magic 35 mm F1.2 lens that I recently got. I’ve been using it on my Sony a7cR to shoot photos and video for a documentary I’m working on about my dad and this combination has been a lot of fun to use and for me it’s been the right combination I think for this project. This lens might not be right for everybody, but if you need a good quality solidly made cinema lens...
Sony a7rC Sports Video
Просмотров 34Месяц назад
A series of highlights from my last football game of the year for my newspaper. I shot this with the a7cR and Zeiss Batis 40mm & 200-600 Sony for the action clips. We do highlight videos for most football games. I'm still learning to shoot action video with the Sony gear. This camera isn't known to be a "video" camera as such but it's up to the task for sure!
a7cR for Sports?
Просмотров 203Месяц назад
You hear lots of "photographers" on RUclips tell you this camera can't do this, or this camera can do that. Well don't listen to them! Any camera can pretty much do anything! Take the a7cR for example, while it may not be the best choice for sports, it's MORE than capable!

I think it’s probably about the same weight. The image quality may be better on the Sigma, but frankly, I think even the first version of the Sony lens is probably better, but of course I’m talking about a used price. The sigma I think is a great lens. If you don’t have the money for the Sony version of the newest one or the Sony version of the first version Two.

    I have a Sony A7c mark i and was initially scared off by people stating how dire the EVF was. Yes, it’s not the best; very small and not a very large eyecup. I have, however, come from the likes of the Lumix GX85 and that has a field sequential EVF. That really is a challenge for my eyes. The A7cii improves on the first model and is par for the course, i would say with its resolution and magnification. Do i wish it was 3 million plus dots? Yes, but i find it very usable and quickly just crack on with taking photos. Sticking small primes on these cameras for travel and street is where it’s at for me. Great video; thankyou.

    Try, rent if you have to, the ZV-E1. You will find it an amazing piece of work, the perfect video centric compact camera. Picture wise, it makes great images. Keep in mind that it is only 12mp, but for newspaper work, it is more than enough. My days working for military base newspapers, back in the 80s, we used Tri-X. If newspapers work with Tri-X, they certainly can work with a photo from a 12mp sensor. I have the A7CR, the high-res version and it is a good and easy camera to use. Though, I think my a6700 is even easier. Both bodies are so close to being the same size that I often reach for the A7CR and grab the a6700 instead. Either camera is excellent and each produce excellent images.

I really do like the design with the EVF in the corner, but I do wish the EVF was like my Sony A7RV, because I use manual focusing 99% of the time, that leads to the next flaw, the missing joystick, so the next gen of A7CIII and A7CRII must have a much better EVF and a very good joystick, I do not mind a much smalle back side screen which I rarely use !

    I recently bought an A7C2 and the fact that the camera looks more inconspicuous than typical "full"-body models is one of the major advantages, as is the mentioned fact that there is less separation between oneself and other people when looking through the EVF. Although I have to admit that I am near-exclusively a display shooter anyway, which is why went for the A7C2. I find that display shooting (in combination with the A7C2's low weight and the excellent 7-stop IBIS) gives me much more freedom for composition.
