Out Old - In New (Camera)

[BNA/LION]

Out with the Sony Alpha NEX-5N and picked up a new Sony A6300. My lenses for the other Sony NEX work on the new one. Looking forward to using it the next few weeks. The Wife is using the Sony RX100 IV and will have the point and shoot category covered!

Wanted to have the Sony FE 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 for my upcoming trip but ran out of time to get it. We will likely be close enough that the 55-210mm 4.5-6.3 will work nicely.

I know we have a lot of camera guys out there.
Q: What are you shooting with these days?

[Wesley Crusher]

My buddy just got the RX100 IV and he said that it's an awesome camera.

I have not owned a camera in a few years but I am looking st the new Fuji X100F.

[daveathall]

I have a Sony RX-100V and a Fuji X100F, both are fabulous.

Nice, Dave. The X100 really dwarfs the RX100!!

Before I got out of photography, I had a Leica M3 and MP. The new Leica digital M cameras are pretty sweet, but add a Leica lens or two and you're talking solid gold Rolex money! I'd rather have the watch.

Thank you Wes. The Sony is tiny and a real nice pocket camera, the Fuji is fabulous and not really that big, I'm really enjoying using it.

Although i have always lusted after a Leica, I feel that I am not an accomplished photographer and it would be wasted on me, having said that, the Fuji isn't in the "loose change" category, but I feel that I am keeping my head above water with it. My previous cameras have mostly been Canon, I took this with a G7 (I think) some years ago, it was pure luck, I just pushed and pulled some sliders in Lightroom and it just popped out.

I have a Nikon D5300 and i love it!

[Alexwwjd]

Wow! These cameras are very nice!

Mainly Nikon

Lots of great gear in this thread

I use mostly a Nikon D700 or a D3x for studio shooting.

Nikon CoolPix S9900 for macro when I travel and a Sony RX100 IV for point and shot.

Aloha Jocke, the family and I are doing well here in paradise. Can't believe so many years have passed since the get together in Vegas. That was a fun trip. Hope all is well your way and I always look forward to your photos. Aloha my friend. Tim

[Abdullah71601]

Mostly Nikon D7000.

[themast]

I have a Canon EOS M, got it dirty cheap a few years back. I am debating whether getting a DSLR next, stay with the EOS M ecosystem (eventually Canon will get serious) or get a Sony Mirrorless and be done with it...

The EOS M is frustrating on many levels but image quality is good and with the 22mm pancake you have a very portable and capable system.

Leica D-Lux Typ109

Nice Larry.... the nex is a nice piece for the money I had one for several years and really liked it a lot very versatile and compact

[dmash]

I bought my wife the RX 100 V earlier this year for her birthday. It does all we need and is compact enough to take everywhere

[uscmatt99]

I transitioned to all Sony and now use a Sony A7 for rangefinder lenses, A7ii for my Sony and old SLR lenses, and an original RX100 for a pocket camera.

[returntorolex]

That will be great for your Safari!

By the time you shrink the images down to 800 pixels on the long side, you've neutralized the advantages of the purpose built cameras.

Anything is good to take a photo Paul, I took this with a Galaxy S8, looks okay to me even when it is viewed much larger.

yep me too..... point and shoot and hope for the best, thats my photography moto

Nice Sony. I wanted to go mirrorless, but found a great deal on a gently used D3300 bundle. Couldn't pass it up. And coming from a Canon 7D, I'm actually enjoying it way more.

[swils8610]

We've got a Sony RX-100. Not sure which version. Haven't used it in 2 years. iPhone for pics at this point.

I'm all in on the Fuji system. Love them. These are all seriously low res shots (3mb wireless transferred JPEGs from the camera to iPad)

The RAW files are flexible and the full size JPEGs are good enough for printing large.

Decent tele options

Mirrorless autofocus is catching up to DSLRs. 600MPH on a very smoky grey day? No problem.

Great color straight from the camera and a nice compact system for travel. Good choice of prime and zoom glass - especially on the wide/normal end.

Thanks, Dave! I love that lume shot. I've never been able to take a truly interesting picture of a watch face like that. Well done.

You must be really enjoying the X100F. What a great camera.

And for everyone using your phone as a camera the iPhone can be a serious camera with amazing results

[Valenciawatchrepair]

Wow, great stuff with the Fuji. Been seeing some amazing results from Sony and Fuji. Maybe my next upgrade will be one!

Thanks! If you're considering a full frame camera I think Sony is the system to have.

If you're good with APSC I can't recommend Fuji enough. Just loving them. The user interface with dials for shutter speed, ISO, exposure comp and aperture on the lenses really work with the EVF to give you a pleasurable shooting experience
