Dreaming To Be A Famous Photographer

If i were to test a second hand camera, what should I look out for? Am just a newbie and only have Php 8K to spare and I see lots of second hand EOS at that price range. But what should I test first?

 

well, check for any physical defects and if its working. Kung dslr yan, ask the seller about the shutter count kasi yan ang parang buhay nung camera, pag nasira yan useless na cam and costly ang magpa replace nyan tapos tanong mo na rin kelan nabili.

i was an avid hobbyist of photography during my bachelor days...it gave me a lot of satisfaction and relaxation....then work got in the way...i am thinking of going back to one my former love (i.e. photography)...i was using a minolta before, then shifted to nikon.....but they were all film based camera....now, i starting to read magazines (again) and i am getting confused which camera to buy.....i am thinking of a full frame camera (medyo meron nang budget because of the work)...but i am not sure what to get...a canon or nikon? i especially like portraiture and a little of landscape, actually lahat! any advice will be appreciated both from canon and nikon users. salamat mga pre!

Astig ka pala master. Film era ka pa pala. <hats off> Pero parehas lang ata kung Canon o Nikon kung hobbyist pero kung pro and business kalimitan canon ang gamit. Di ko alam kung bakit. Hehe. Panggulo lang.

ahh yes, the film ones, mas masarap pa rin humawak ng film cameras napaka-challenging pero satisfying naman gamitin. Namiss ko yung x700 tuloy ng erpats ko hehe... kung kaya nga naman ng budget mo mag full frame at hindi ka nanghihinayang sa presyo then go for it, durable naman at siguradong matagal buhay nyan kasi mataas ang shutter count regardless kung anong brand pa piliin mo.

 

Kung bibili ka ng second hand, pwede na yung mga first generation na full frame pero kung mag brand new ka at para makamura ka na rin, I suggest mag sony ka, magaganda line up ng mga yan. Tapos later on, invest na lang sa lente. :ninja:

personally and as far as image quality is concerned, yes. Entry levels ng alpha tsaka point and shoot nya ok na ok na pano pa full frame. Nikon and canon are good in their own way, I've used all those brands myself pero pag standard setup lang ginamit mo parang mas sharp pa sony ...pero syempre subjective pa rin yun.

can we start a thread where newbies like me can share our photos? and perhaps the veterans masters can teach us a thing or two onhow to improve our shots. :P

 

pwede ka mag research online ng mga free articles guiding you on how you can improve your shots. Madali lang naman eh, importante matutunan mo basics, talo talo na lang sa subject :D

Marami nga sir. Pero iba yung inputs ng mga masters. :)

 

wala naman problema pero maganda kasi ikaw makadiscover ng style na kumportable syo. Pare-pareho lang naman din kasi sasabihin syo ng mga "master" which is magamay mo yung basics ng tamang exposure etc.

 

fyi, hindi ako masterclass, hobbyist lang ako :ninja:
