I have been watching Tony and Chelsea for several years now and looking back, I didn't realize that they never accepted promotional sponsorships, but they have always said what I needed to hear when selecting gear and after buying them, I felt like what they said was right. Just didn't realize this until he pointed it out in this video at the beginning. Thank you, Tony and Chelsea.

@arthurmarshall6825 Год назад

That's not quite right. They take sponsorships all the time. They just don't take sponsorships from camera makers. That's Canon, Sony and the like. They do take sponsorships for camera adjacent fields, like website and used camera stores.

Fujifilm are very well capable to most situations other than having "fun" and being fashionable. Great for astro, landscape, portrait, street to name a few.

@rachelhaddock5531 Год назад

Fujifilm has some of the best lenses available. I wouldn't consider it a 2nd backup fun camera. This seems like an oversimplified and biased review not based on experience.

@jaimeriveras Год назад

I had a first generation Canon 70-200 F2.8 IS laying around. I recently paired it to a used $350 Canon T6 and started taking photos of hummingbirds in front of my kitchen window. The results absolutely blew me away. Lesson: it's the lens that counts - although I wish I had faster autofocus 😊.

@proksalevente Год назад

You shall buy a newer canon body and their adapter and keep your old lens at first and get better autofocus performance. Or you can pop over to sony land, tamron 70-180 vxd + a7iii/a7IV will do you great.

@garymc8956 Год назад

Glad you mentioned the D500 with the 200-500. That combo is just south of the Z 9 at a fraction $. The crop eliminates the somewhat soft edges. I moved back to the D500 after frustration with the Z6&7ii’s for birds.

@jimgulnac780 Год назад

Agreed, same here Gary.

@STrentGlobalStudios Год назад

Best time ever spent, I learned more from this couple then I did with 4 years for my BFA in Photography and Digital Imaging from Ringling School of Art and Design, graduated May 2007. I appreciated everything I did learn beyond photography at this school, it completely reshaped how I see, observe, and imagine a image in context and it’s development, but for actual photography knowledge this couple is the best. I greatly appreciate their efforts and support of every photographer and artist. They should be recommended for an award and recognition for their contributions to Art and Photography.

@Just-a-Guy1 Год назад

I'm surprised you didn't mention the D850 at all. I also use the Nikon 28-300mm for its range and versatility. I've used it successfully in the studio and for landscape. I'm not debating your choices. I don't understand overlooking such a great tool.

@rhonaldjr Год назад

I agree, a dedicated camera makes sense if you are willing to invest time to learn. Also, good camera suggestions. I've forwarded this video for a couple of friends looking for camera this Christmas season. Also, for landscape and studio, I'd recommend the GFX 100s, or the GFX 50s mark ii as the specialty cameras.

@ronstruble2860 Год назад

Tony, thanks for all the help you give to use still learning photography. I recently upgraded from a Nikon D750 to the Z9 and use my 24-70 F2.8 ED VR and 70-200 FL ED VR lens with the FTZ adapter. I found using the C1 and C2 focus fields while shorting high school basketball the eye tracking worked very well with almost 100 percent keeper rates. Again thanks for all you videos.

@benicio1967 Год назад

Wow!!! I’m not even a “beginner” at this point. I’ve always loved taking pictures but never learned or was taught the technical stuff. It sure sounds like you know what equipment to use for great results. I’m going to write down the equipment you’ve mentioned because I’d like to record nature, birds, rain etc. I had a Nikon years ago and hate that I never replaced it. It was the best. Thanks for sharing. I’m trying to learn what I can to help me make good choices when I do finally make a purchase.

I picked up a Canon RP last month based on your recommendations and I am loving it! You were spot on about its strengths, the full frame sensor is really fun for the kind of general, everyday photography I do. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in a way that is always practical and useful!

@Wumphenour123 Год назад

I got an RP a couple months ago and absolutely love it, the one and only flaw I have with the camera is the burst speed. 4fps is a challenge for some sports but it hasn’t stopped me from getting some great photos out of it.

@StatusQuo209 Год назад

RP is slept on. It's such a great camera that forces you to get good. But when you use it right, the pictures it gives you make it worth it and it's very rewarding. I upgraded to a A7IV, but the RP is a great backup.

@harrison00xXx Год назад

I had the RP for about 2 years, my first and for a while my last full frame camera. Yeah, it was great and i enjoyed it for all things i did, especially with RF 50mm 1.8 prime and a 50 and 100mm 2.8 Macro lens, but as soon i was interested more in wildlife and video, i realized HOW BAD the RP can be. The thing which lead me to keeping it for so long... weight and size! Rarely i hated the small and short lasting battery, but mostly i loved how small and light the RP was! Im now a happy R7 owner and as much i miss the full frame glory now, more often than not i can take advantage of the crop anyways and also for example the EF-S 17-55 2.8 IS USM lens is GREAT and super light, even smaller and lighter than a full frame 24-70 F4L, just little bit worse IQ and more disortion in the corners but absolutely worth it (and better in low light than the RP + F4 lens was) I dont regret using FF for a while, aswell that im back to APS-C again, in fact some things like astrophotography, super low light, ISO 50.000 video etc im now much more limited with the R7 than i was with the RP but it gives so much more back: sharper images, fast speed, great autofocus for wildlife, 120 fps video, nice 4k60 crop video, very high quality downsampled 4k from 7k, good IBIS even with adapted lenses (as long they are canon, 3rd party with IBIS make sometimes HUGE troubles)

@jackcroft315 Год назад

when you gain more experience like i did go to the canon eos R then when you gain more experience go with the sony a7r3 it's half the price of the eos r5 without all the software bugs and issues canon r5 has

@skesinis Год назад

Back in 2014 when I started watching your channel, based on your reviews back then (among some other channels too), I bought the Canon 700D with two kit lenses. The results that I’ve got out of it, made me extremely happy! Until then, the best camera that I owned was a super zoom one, and the difference in quality between the two was day and night! I upgraded to better camera bodies and lenses (80D, 5D Mark IV, 90D and a bunch of Sigma, Tamron and Canon lenses), when my skills improved to the point that the camera was the bottleneck in creativity. Thank you for all the advices that you gave us all these years, and for the effort you and Chelsea both put for making all your videos!

@alanm.6096 Год назад

Very refreshing to hear someone advocate learning how to max out the cell phone before even thinking about a camera. In my travels I have seen too many examples of people purchasing more than they really needed, facing buyer’s remorse. If you start with your cell, you’ll quickly determine what you ‘feel’ you’re missing - and what you should consider if you move forward with a camera decision. I don’t know how many times I have told someone that a good point and shoot is all they need….and to forget shelling out thousands just to post pix on social media. Good job Tony, and thanks for your honesty.

@borgdylan Год назад

Still in love with my M50 Mark II. It wasn't as expensive to start, invested more in other glass as I learnt.

@gaetanomaximus8650 Год назад

At your recommendation a year ago, I bought a Google Pixel 6, which has been AMAZING. Last week, however, perhaps in defiance of your advice, I bought a Nikon Z6ii, primarily for tennis photography and low light things like fireworks or, like now, Christmas displays in NYC. Haven't been able to use it on tennis yet, but it could not be better for the Christmas displays in NYC.

@apurv_kumar Год назад

I believe Nikon Z5 is much better than Canon RP and with the discounts running right now, its priced perfectly, IBIS, Lowlight advantage, dual SD, superior functionality which allows quick switching between various functions just outweighs cannon R(I)P entry level mirrorless functionality.

@sugenpillay309 Год назад

The nikon z5 went quite cheap on black Friday was so tempted

@apurv_kumar Год назад

The discounts are still ongoing, and the 24-200 with any one of the S lenses(preferably 50 1.8s) will be a wonderful combination for this segment of photographers, it will cover most of the requirements. And, with the cash back it would be closer to 2k overall. Z5 results are phenomenal. I will personally never trade off IBIS given a choice because we don’t roam around with a tripod all the time.

@shawnstallard Год назад

Thanks for your insights Tony. I thoroughly enjoy my Canon R5 for the real estate and commercial work I do. It is my day to day work horse, so solid and dependable. As a backup I use the Panasonic Lumix G9. It is very well laid out, well balanced in the hand and the weight difference between that and full frame is amazing. It is a joy to shoot with and it is my go to camera when walking about and especially hiking. It has had lots of firmware upgrades and for video is almost a mini GH5, and for a camera with so many features it seems a good price even new. From my experience I can earnestly recommend both the R5 and G9. Again Tony, thanks for helping us know some of those options... there really are so many good cameras out there.

@incor8253 Год назад

Agreed! I have a r5c, mostly for the ability to record in codecs that can easily match other cameras we use in a video production. But I primarily do photography. And the r5(c) never disappoints, it’s really good in low light high iso environments and is tack sharp even with old ef glass on a ef-rf adapter. Impressive highlight recovery and shadows too. Skin tones are excellent, use the 70-200 rf 2.8 and it’s amazing. Have the super old 24-105 but it’s so sharp I love it😂 also have a 17-40 for real estate and it’s great. Best camera I have personally ever used. 10/10

@kbarrett1844 Год назад

Great recommendations delivered in a nicely paced concise manner. Well done!

@lex1111 Год назад

Too many comments to see if anybody has already mentioned it, but if on a very tight budget, but willing to learn photography, a used Nikon D90 is a dirt cheap but quite able camera. Paired with second hand, third party, F1,8-f2,8 lenses you will get the results your smartphone just can't give you. Have a much, much better camera nowadays, but still keep it charged and pick it up every once in a while for a random family photo. One of the most underestimated cameras of all time imho.

@houserhythm Год назад

For wildlife, for $4400 I'd much rather have the Canon R7 + 100-500 L lens. You get more reach, better subject detection, higher framerate, better IBIS than the A7IV, a lighter, smaller lens with great MFD/max magnification if you're also into shooting insects. Only disadvantage would be high ISO performance, but noise is so easy to deal with in post nowdays that it's not a major issue.

I started shooting military airshows and sports, my D500 was awesome and the used D5 I picked up for indoor sports was just a great addition.

So glad you gave positive reviews of the RP. It was all I could afford and I had to buy an adapter to use my EF lens. I got lucky on eBay and have a Canon 85/1.8 and a Tamron 28-75/2.8. Both in great condition. Really wish I had more variety, but it’s not possible in my budget. However I love my setup, if it is lacking, then I’m unaware because I’m accustomed to what I have. I do both portraiture and still life in my little makeshift studio.

@samdavisphotographer Год назад

I notice a distinct lack of Olympus/ Om system cameras, any micro four thirds cameras for that matter. Do you think Tony that smartphones have replaced this format? I'm surprised as if I was going to recommend a used camera to anyone to help them get into photography then I'd definitely recommend the Olympus EM-5 mkII as it's weather sealed and takes beautiful pictures. Some of the best portraits I've seen and also taken myself have been taken with Olympus 45mm f1.8. travel lens the 14-150mm. This gear you can pick up for a few hundred pounds / dollars.

So I followed your advice and for this year's Kenya visit, I have added a D780 and a Nikon 70-200 f2.8. Can't wait to use them in Kenya. I've seen several of your RU-vid videos and they are all very good and very informative. Your tips on the best settings have been very helpful. Going to get your Lightroom book and I'm subscribed.

I mostly shoot Landscapes and was happy with my Eos 850D. This Year I was looking for a Fullframe Sensor because of the better low Light Performance. And because you get a wider Angle. One thing I didn´t like at the Eos was the "low" Dynamicrange (Still more than okay). And I wanted a digital Viewfinder. So I baught the A7Rii and I am still very very happy with it. Not the fastest Autofocus, not the most Pic/Sec etc. but in 99% I don´t need it. Together with the Sigma 20mm 1,4 and Tamron 28-200 2,8-5,6 it was 2500 € in total. Absolutely love it and can highly recommend it, too. I am absolutely sure, I won´t switch the Camera for a longer Time :)

I would love to take really good pictures of the various landscapes in my over the road journeys, the sunrises, sunsets and the dozens of shooting stars in my journeys documented. Videos also is an area I would like to delve into. Thanks you guys for all the inspiration effort and hours you put into your business and the business of helping others!

You’re absolutely correct with your recommendations. I still keep my DSLRs, I have a 5D Mk lll full frame and an APSC 50D. But now a days my Apple 13 Pro Max stays in my pocket all the time. I like my iPhone, but I will never give up my DSLRs for serious photography.

@lkrnpk Год назад

And I disagree that iPhone is better than any dedicated camera, of course say if you shoot handheld in low light iPhone will produce better pictures right away, like my a5000 which is 8 year old entry level mirrorless, but if you know what you’re doing and use tripod and a lens like Sigma primes, iPhone will not compete. But of course most people today will be fine with an iPhone

@ME2K23 Год назад

Realy good alternative as a compact camera or for beginner/budget buyer, with great performance 1 inch sensor is the Canon Powershot G5X. Won't describe all the goods here but look it up. I own many apsc and full frame camera with many lenses but that G5X (with its full frame equivalent 24mm f1.8 to 104mm f2.8) is the best compact for me; The camera I can easily bring everywhere and still get good quality photos. With its Raw file capability, it's like a miniature dslr/mirorless camera, full of features yet compact 📸

as an amateur photographer who isn't a full time professional but still takes the hobby seriously and does paid photography work, i would sincerely suggest to anyone watching this video to go learn more about lenses. the lens that you use on your camera matters significantly more to what the final image looks like than your camera body does. sadly, cannon is pulling third party lens support from their new RF lens mount. there are still a ton of lower budget lens options that can be adapted onto their mirrorless cameras, but those lenses are older, and worse in nearly every way. by contrast, there is a plethora of sony e-mount and nikon z-mount lenses from third party lensmakers which produce better images for less money, fill niche lens needs, and overall spark competition and provide modern lens options for these systems. this is something cannon cameras are no longer going to have moving forward, and anyone who buys an RF mount camera will be stuck using the lenses and paying the prices that cannon wants them too. which is often hard to stomach given the price to performance ratio of their in-house lenses. :(

No real reason why but I really like the looks of the Nikon Zfc in the classic look paired with the leather case. Seems like it would be a great grab and go camera for something light to walk around with.

Two years ago, I decided to find myself a hobby and buy my first ever camera. Fortunately for me, a friend was selling his Canon 60d in a near mint condition. For around 400USD I got the body and Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 VC. This year I purchased a used Canon 55-250mm f4-5.6 for around 150$. To be honest, even though the camera is quite old, I'm so happy with the photos I take with it. With the lenses I've got, I can take a huge range of different pictures, from portraits (which I'm definitely not good at) to wildlife. The only thing which the camera is bad at is low light photos, as iso1600 is very noisy. Still, I think that was a pretty nice deal for about a half the price of a new flagship phone. By the way, Stunning Digital Photography as a book is something incredible. All the knowledge, examples, videos... I really learned a lot from it. If anyone thinks of buying their first camera, they should definitely buy the book as well.

@backwoodstrails Год назад

Great informative video. People do seem to get hung up on what camera to buy and putting out price points can be very helpful. In most cases, it's the Indian not the arrow. I have seen some amazing work done with inexpensive cameras. When I started in 1976, all news & sports photographers used Nikon, most portrait and wedding photographers used Hasselblad and the landscape photographers used primarily 4x5 and some 8x10 view cameras. Now it seems that most digital cameras are pretty much computers that take pictures and have hundreds of menu options. This can make it difficult for us old film guys to find a camera where we simply want to control aperture, shutter speed and ISO (it was ASA when I started). Fuji XT4 looks like an old film camera, however, it has a long, long list of menu options. Would love to see a video on which camera (of professional quality) has the least menu options, leaving us to take photos the way we did with simple film cameras.

I'm really flabbergasted there was no recommendations for any of the Nikon Z mirrorless cameras. They are spectacular and can be had for amazing prices. To each their own 🤷‍♂

@danrickard1911 Год назад

I was also looking for validation after purchasing my Z9. My preference is street and landscape photography. Unfortunately, I buy Nikon primarily due to fulfilling my early photgraphy years (70’s and 80’s) dreams of owning a Nikon. I watch Tony and Chelsea for thier knowledge, skill, and evaluation of cameras across the photography spectrum. They research, test, and use everything they talk about. As a result, they report honestly the results they experience….good or bad. I always enjoy seeing the differences, strengths and weaknesses of all the platforms they encounter, even if Nikon is not being unanimously hailed as the grail of cameras all the time😊. If the Z was not mentioned, I would hazard to guess, that it was not a recomendation due to other cameras filling the bill better for those niche photography areas. At least in Tony’s opinion. Of course, that is the key here. An opinion still allows us to be correct in our own opinion, even when it is in contrast to someone elses.

Nikon Z5 for $999 new. On sale now. I just regret I didn’t purchase it for the same price this time last year, or the year before. For general purpose stills/video (not 4K because it has a large crop), such a great value that Canon and Sony still don’t match at this price now. Sensor is still great and IBIS works great, and I find the autofocus sufficient for anything other than maybe professional sports/wildlife. Though it worked fine for casual Thanksgiving family football game with new 24-120! For wildlife, I prefer APS-C so I still use a Nikon D7500 with Tamron 100-400 for that.

I've done side by side comparisons of the R5 and R6 taking landscapes with the 15-35 RF lens. I upscaled the R6 files to 45 MP and honestly, even when zoomed in to 100% , it's hard to tell a difference. If you use Adobe Camera Raw enhance then the R6 files always looks better (especially for portraits) at 45 MP. Resolution seems to be overrrated, at least when you go over 20 MP to about 60 MP.

@kerrygrim7934 Год назад

Disappointing that you did not mention any of the Nikon mirrorless. While the Canon R5 is better for focusing with wildlife and and better for video (I think), the Nikon Z 7II is excellent for landscapes and general shooting and a lot cheaper with a better selection of telephotos than Canon. Similar situation with the R6 II and Z 6II. Nikon is being written off because because their focus system is not quite up to Canon and Sony. And no, I still use a Canon 6D with EF lenses. The camera has a dumbed-down focus system but I have gotten excellent results. There is no doubt that I would get satisfying images with either Sony, Canon, or Nikon, but I do think you are not giving Nikon a fair shake.

Canada and shoot lots of more considerable wildlife and some that are on the dangerous side, so the extra length was my reason for the Tamron.

@charlescarlson1290 Год назад

On the subject of learning, I believe you gave short shrift to the Fuji system. They’ve got great lens and a great camera line. For the most part, I don’t see much difference between the image quality. It’s not a that I don’t doubt there are differences, it’s that realistically, I don’t spend that much time obsessing over image quality differences. That may come with time, but even though I said that, I would point out that there are a number of professional photographers use in Fuji equipment. You want to blow a equipment, be my quest. You want to learn the basics of all the variables in realm of photography, Fuji certainly gets one started and provides a depth of exploration that just not possible on other camera systems. Not saying its the only choice.

One thing that this video didn't touch upon is very important, and that is physical build quality, ergonomics, size, weight and how it feels to use the gear. I have wasted a lot of money in the past switching to another system because the gear I had wasn't enjoyable to use.

@marcp.1752 Год назад

Tony, it all depends, what you'd like todo, nowadays. You can even make landscape photography perfectly with (just) 10 or 12 MP gear, its only that you won't print that big, -huge hereby. But even for an A3 print size, it's perfectly fine, it's all about viewing distance. One usually doesn't rub the nose onto a gallery print on the wall. 🙂 And then, there's still that Adobe ACR "super resolution" feature to upscale the MP, in case it's being needed. Old gear isn't obsolete - but the industry wants to tell you that, because otherwise they don't sell anything new.

Pretty solid advice. Hard to get much more real significant benefit once breaching $5-6k as diminishing returns kick in. A photo 'nut' like me will always find new kit to splurge on, but it's technique and skill, beyond about $3k, that will help make the biggest gains. Heck that's probably true beyond $1k. I have 'loadsa kit' but I shoot a lot and it's one of my main life hobbies plus I can afford it, so that's justification enough for me. Each to their own.
