  • Here we are once again with a cheap camera I bought from Facebook marketplace. This time we've got the Canon SX30 IS, a great little 14mp superzoom camera, that I picked up for £20!
    Let me know if you've got a superzoom camera or whether you'd consider getting one for photography like this.

    I have a mint one I bought for £60 pounds off marketplace, complete with dedicated flash.The picture quality is superb,and the image stabilisation gives a good 4.5 stop advantage in low light/telephoto usage.I often take it out with a D300/D5100/D3200/D7200 combination,and some of the images produced are superb for such a small sensor.

    What were your settings??? Can you please share more details on this. Because I have the same camera and wanna learn more about it. It'll be great if you help me!!

    • @stephenfphotography
      @stephenfphotography  21 день назад

      I shot in Aperture priority mode, JPEG set to Fine with the stabilisation on then made subtle adjustments to the EV/ Aperture based on what the shot needed 😊
      I'd suggest learning a little more about Aperture & exposure,if you don't already know, because it will really help with getting great photos 😊
      Enjoy the camera and thanks for watching!

    I've just picked up the same camera and I'm a complete novice in photography. Do you have any recommendations for settings to get the best quality images possible.
    Thanks

    • @stephenfphotography
      @stephenfphotography  5 месяцев назад +2

      Hey! As the camera doesn't shoot RAW just make sure it's in the best JPEG setting possible and try shooting in Aperture Priority mode rather than Auto once you know more about the shooting modes 😊
      Also double check that the IS (image stabilisation) is turned on as it works really well, especially when you're zoomed in fully!
      Hope you enjoy the camera!

    I paid £350 from an airport for one of these when they came out 😂 or 😢
    ❤❤
    £20 is more my kind of price!
    3 successful semi pro photos in around 100 shots (with the cannon) and 30 successful out of 300 with an iPhone 15 pro. Technology….
    You done the canon proud and it’s still half decent today. That zoom is still good compared to a lot of zoom lenses.

      Thanks for watching! Yeah I love finding older camera for prices like that 😂 they are still so fun to shoot with too!
      But yeah, technology has come a looong way in the last 5/10 years for cameras 😂

    I do have a superzoom, a Nikon B700. Decent camera for wildlife, and a nice all rounder. Sort of a little brother to the Nikon P950. Fully articulating screen, 60X zoom (24 - 1440mm) takes nice photos, shoots 4K video. I'd say if you were going for a slightly newer superzoom, the canon SX50 or 60 would be a good bet. Or the Nikon P900. The pinnacle in my opinion is the Sony RX10iv, but those are horrendous expensive even used..

    • @stephenfphotography
      @stephenfphotography  6 месяцев назад

      Great suggestions! I've been looking at the sx60, seems like the choice for me I think!
      I used to have an RX10, the mark 1, but I agree they cost so much ha!

    The Price you got this camera for is insane, isnt it?
    I just bought one for around 100 Euros.
    Really excited to get it delivered.
    Im not too much into cameras, but i wanted a nice camera with good Zoom which is easy to operate and also quite cheap.

    • @stephenfphotography
      @stephenfphotography  3 месяца назад

      Yeah it was a crazy cheap price! Managed to find someone selling it who didn't really know what they had ha!
      Hope you love it, I enjoyed shooting with it!

      @@stephenfphotography Hi, can I ask you something?
      I got the Camera today and wanted to test the zoom out.
      Im in Automode and wanted to zoom by using the zoomwheel.
      It Zooms a liitle bit but then it starts making knacking sounds and a on the screen appears a Objektiverror and the camera turns off.
      Am i doing something wrong ?

    • @stephenfphotography
      @stephenfphotography  3 месяца назад +1

      Sounds like you might have an issue with the motor that extends the lens. When I got mine the plastic "pipe" around the lens was a bit dirty which made it shudder when zooming. Cleaning that helped.
      Hope you can get yours working!

    Great video! It is a reallt great steal for thet price and is incredibly capable. Obviously you won't win any awards with it. But, when it's at the right place at the right time, you'll wish you had it in your pocket.

    • @stephenfphotography

      Yeah I couldn't say no for that price haha and enjoyed using it! Keeping my eyes peeled for a newer super zoom now 👀
