I’ve been eyeballing a lot of older Sonys (a5000/a6000 era). They don’t look very vintage, but with lenses and edits, the pictures can absolutely produce vintage vibes.

I want to take better photos with my Sony A5000 Better in what way(s)? Maybe it's up to you rather than the equipment. the Pixel 9 Pro usually takes better photos in RAW and JPEG format, especially at night which I think is crazy. The Pixel is capable of taking 1080P60 videos as well, something my A

That's ..painfully expensive. It really isn't very hard to scan yourself using a simple digital camera / macro lens. Base cost probably $300 (if you don't have any camera yet) or $150 if you have a body, but no macro lens & no film holder. There are various kits with film holder, light panel & vario

I think people care too much about the camera body when really anything that fits your budget is fine, i saw a person make a short film with a £20 camcorder from Ebay and it was so moving and I personally liked the quality better than a phone screen where everything is overly sharp and the colours a

You’re going to have to compromise a lot more, whether it be budget, range/type of shooting, or features. The type of shooting you’re looking to do unfortunately spans most if not all focal ranges. For landscape you’re looking at around 20mm focal length and for wildlife that will be 250mm+. You wil

I'm fairly certain even the best 4/3rds camera would be a downgrade or at best a sidegrade from even a Sony A5000. You definitely want to look at MFT instead.

Oof, that has to be rough seeing all that carnage, but I guess someone has to develop the film. Thanks for your dedication to the craft and support to the medical community, for what it’s worth. I’ve had a few lenses that I got in a garage sale years ago, but didn’t have a camera that would work wit

An older crop sensor mirrorless camera is a good option. Something like an Olympus e-pl, Lumix g, gx, or a Sony NEX or A5000. I recently got a Sony NEX 5n for cheap, image quality is surprisingly good, and the files work great in lightroom.

It was actually a Sony a5000. I have a lot of old digital cameras but for some reason I love the grain pattern at high ISO even though it's a newish cmos sensor. It feels like ccd or even film at times. At least much more than my a7. My favorite ccd camera I own is my Fuji finepix S1 Pro. Takes grea

for that price an aps-c dslr like a Canon Rebel or Nikon DX series are quality cameras to learn the fundamentals and still make great images. maybe you could find a sony a5000 series mirrorless camera and a cheap lens, it uses e-mount so you can keep the lenses and upgrade the bodies later to more c
