Shooters. I need a good starter camera
 

Going to play around with some amateur shoots with my gf and her friends

Need a decent camera that’s idiot proof to start.

Canon t3i.

/thread

Phone,Samsung galaxy/]

5 years ago; now go with the T7i

He said starter camera to learn on.

You can get a perfectly fine t3i with the lens kit for $250 shipped.

Camera is just the 1/2 of the issue, then comes where and how to edit ( maybe play with the sound a bit) and an output it to video...the whole chain should be discussed..

Well I figured I’d shoot some then post here for input.

I’m not saying you’re wrong.. but I’ve been doing this since 2000. Editing & shooting. A good camera is a good camera. I went from a sony pmx z100 to a sony fs7 mkii and night & day difference

Yup. And get a gimbal like the smooth Q to help you hold, stabilize and move it around...

a second hand nikon d3100 for about $150 on ebay to start off :2 cents:

Why not a T1i then?

:thumbsup

yep, all you need

mmmm, some sony camera? maybe the alpha 7iii, will be super good for videos too

To me it is ALL about the chain of events so you do not get a surpise later.... so

Lets say ( shooting in HD/ 2K) or ( 4 K ?) you need to know what you need:

1) camera ( + what kind of cards, Codex, how fast/slow is the output) and to what:
2) computer and how big and fast is the strorage ( + what kind of editing software what kind of sound and mix software) then:
3) ouputing to what computer with what software to color correct and master for various media..

So, if you buy a wrong camera you may need to replace the rest of the "chain".

thats why the phone is perfect, and takes great pics and vid... just get off board audio. you want to make sure to pick up the heels hitting the wooden floor :thumbsup

Canon SL2. Great capabilities, modern sensor, good price

dean would be the expert... he doesn't post here anymore

iPhone and a good makeup app?

We sold off a RED Scarlet and for 4 of this particular camera and two Ronin S gimbals. There’s still money left over.

dean is a glamour shooter, those guys have very specific needs. very few are able to use that situation in photography, and dean is non political.
