I’m convinced…

I was invited to a few events over the past year. I probably won’t be invited back because I just can’t make content off products I don’t personally enjoy. I’m a Fuji lover myself with plenty of cameras from them. I think the XH2S is the best hybrid camera on the market. The x100 line is always fun

Is it worth going with the EOS R50 over the EOS R100?

It depends on what you want to do, how much you might spend in the future, and if you are okay with buying used: The a6100 is a very similar camera to the R50 - both of them have a plastic body, good autofocus, decent video, and very similar image quality. The design of the body is different of cour

Hello am looking to buy my first lens as a beginner videographer and I was looking for used lenses and I saw this 2 they both are 400 dollars and I was wondering which one should I go with am planning to use it for mostly short films, car video, food videos and for personal vacation. Cam: Sony a6100

The Tamron 28-75 is an INCREDIBLE lens. 100% go for that one. I use it regularly. If I had to choose just 1 lens to work with for a whole day of shooting, it would be that one (and have done). Autofocus is very fast and responsive on it too, if you’re using it with a Sony (not sure about your model

Looking for my first mirrorless camera (~€500 budget)?

Okay, problem here: a decent lens cost as much as your budget so you will have to stick with the kit lens. The a6100 + a sony 16-50 might be in budget. And yes, they are still good in 2026. Cameras don't really age, if it was a good camera in 2005 it is still just as good today. Of course there a co

first paid gig

I loved my Sony a6100. I used it for years and years and years for shows. I shot the first 5 new friends fests on it. I shot my first few album covers on it too. The body is incredible and you can find a good 28mm or 50mm lens for it for cheap. My sigma 28mm f/2.8 was only $140 used.

First camera?

If you’re coming from a phone and mostly shooting nature, I’d look at an entry level mirrorless kit like a Canon R50, Sony a6100, or Nikon Z50 with the kit lens. All of those are solid for beginners, good autofocus, and way more range than a phone. Later you can add a telephoto zoom for wildlife or

How do you become m43 user?

I shot, in order, Nikon APS-C, Nikon Full Frame, Sony APS-C, M43. My first "serious" camera was a Nikon D3100. I loved it and found myself finding reasons to take it out as much as I could as I was learning the basics. I upgraded to D5200 and eventually to a D810 when I decided I wanted to give full

Good quality cameras for ant keepers?

Apexel 100mm macro lens, you can get it off aliexpress for like $15 but will take a while to ship. great quality, unless you're looking for professional equipment, that will be enough. As for cameras, really any body (actual camera) will do. I use a sony a6100, expensive and over-the-top for macro,
