Nur Skill Issue oder würde eine neue Kamera helfen?

Du wirst mit der a6100 und dem sony 70-350 auf jeden fall einen deutlichen unterschied sehen. Das 70-350 ist ein absolut exzellentes Objektiv und so ziemlich das beste apsc birding objektiv für den emount (Die ganzen full frame birding zooms passen bei sony zwar auch auf die apsc kameras aber sind e

My friend wants to buy one of these 3 cameras, can you help her decide please?

Squeeze juuust a little bit more and buy the a6100 which has far better AF than any of them plus 4k video. Also she will need better lens than the kit ones

Did I overreach ?

I have a Sony a6100 and a Sigma 30mm f/1.4. You did not make a mistake. I have a good variety of lenses and I always come back to the 30 mm. You may decide to use a zoom lens in the near future, but this is a great lens. Not only to start, but overall.

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

28-75 for sure, super sharp lens and the constant 2.8 aperture is nice. Plus it’s smaller so great for travel when paired with the a6100. I’ve shot dozens of weddings and product shoots with that lens!

Bought my desired Sony alpha camera as a beginner but not feeling like I deserve this. What could be the reason?

So here's the thing, I am interested in clicking photographs. After suppressing my desire of buying a camera for 1 year I bought Sony alpha 6100 with dual lens 16-50 mm and 55-210 mm.

Ricoh GRiii vs Sony RX100 vii

Don’t forget the built in flash on the RX and the wider 24mm focal length! This is a pretty personal question based on your photography style. Take a look back through your albums, look at some of your favorite shots you’ve captured. Look for trends- are they at the wide end of the focal range? Gene

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

Koji fotoaparat kupiti kao početnik?

Takodje, kako budes ucila i savladavala fotografiju i htela da uzmes druge objektive imaces velikih izbor od jeftinih do profesiona

Camera for beginning sports photography

The issue is the range you’ll get. I shoot with the Sony a6100 which is the entry level mirorless. But I then use a Tamron 150-500 or a 70-180 depending on the lighting. The lens are more expensive then my camera. If you go for a Black Friday deal on the Sony a6100 + used f/4 lens you might get a be
