For RM2000 or less, Sony a6000 (with the 16-50 kit) fit the bill. But, if you want to see substantial differences in term of quality from your smartphone photo or video, you need to spend more by getting at least a decent lens. If not, you rather use that money to top up your next smart phone purchase. Without a good lens, many has been disappointed from their camera purchase and end up not using it, collecting dust at home or sold at a huge lost. Don't repeat their mistake.

Type of camera/lens/accesories : Compact without interchangeable lens
Budget: 3000
Your Location: Klang Valley
Preferable brand : Any
Type of photography u want to do : Interior design and outdoor (hotel area)
Any specific models in mind? : Something like Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R II but cheaper
Any specific features u want? : If got 4k picture and video is bonus. 1080p minimum

If you really want compact, then Sony RX100 series. If you are willing to reconsider interchangeable lens system, I would suggest Sony a6300+ Samyang 12mm or Fuji XT20 + Samyang 12mm. The reasons being that they give you room to grow. You never know in the future that you might want to venture further into photography and both the 6300 and XT20 give you the room for that. They both give you 4k video and + lens should be under RM3K used.

Ricoh GRII, or top up a bit for GRIII

Budget: 4000
Your Location: Sabah

Hi sifu and professionals, I’ve just started record videos for youtube and would like some recommendations to UP my video resolution game (I want to achieve the video quality similar yo when Daniel Shiffer/Peter Lindgren do tutorial/talking video, i have Final Cut Pro X to do the editing and color grading)

Type of camera/lens/accesories : DSLR / Digital Camera
Budget: RM 2000 but flexible
Your Location: KL
Preferable brand : Canon/Nikon/Sony (flexible)
Type of photography u want to do : Selfie video (for youtube educational tutorial video where i sit infront of camera on a tripod and talk for about 1-2 hour per session; i want a camera that has a flip screen to see my recording view, and maybe a 3.5mm jack to fit my Boya M1 mic or a holder for future shot gun mic; I want the video to be able to focus on my face automatically (mainly 1080p, 30fps) and slightly bokeh blur on my background
Any specific models in mind? : Dont have specific, but i saw youtubers recommend the Sony Alpha series seems decent, but im a total noob in this
Any specific features u want? : i dont really use it for outdoor, in future might want to use it when travel overseas, but for now mainly just for video recording purpose (indoor lighting). Also if sifu can recommend a good lighting combination that will be great

I am looking to buy RX100 from mark 3 onwards. I really don't know which to choose. I am very active and adventurous person, think trail running and hiking. I mostly shoot in jungle and sea/ all nature setting, landscape, selfie portrait, flora and fauna, sunrise and sunset. I don't own any cameras before, only using my Xperia XZ1. I tried print out with photos from XZ1 but found that they are too sharp and not natural even in small print photo books. I do wonder if the latest Xperia 1 or Xperia 1 ii will have better print out quality?

Back to the topic, jungle is mostly little dark so please bear that in mind too. Which RX100 models from mark 3 onwards would you guys/pros recommend? If possible, please list out each pros and cons?

Thanks!

Both a6400 and m6ii can fullfill your need. Just that, Canon has better color for skin tone, which requires less editing. I would suggest you to take a look at eos M50 for the cheap, and save your money from 6400 or m6ii for better lens.



If you want camera with RM2k budget that has flip screen, the only one I can think of is Canon eos m50. For bokeh, you need to have lens with big aperture. For that, I would recommend the Sigma 16mm f1.4, but that is additional cost around rm1700. As regard lighting, you can take a look at this youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXe3rEWrDVg

If your budget can flex a bit more, I would recommend you to take a look at a6100, a6400. But both of them are above 3k

Hi I've seen quite some good review on the Canon EOS 200 D (Rebel SL 2), and it seems to fit every single aspect that I'm looking for (maybe except for budget). Not sure about the kit lens - do you have any thoughts on it?

I can stretch my budget to high-2k if needed.

Noted on the big aperture for high bokeh effect. Big aperture = wide lens right? Sry im a complete noob in this

It is interesting that you've made mention about the 200d. I happened to recommend that camera to a friend 2 days ago. Yes, it is an excellent camera. For starter, you can start with the kit lens first (18-55). Get yourself familiar with the focal length first and work your way up from there. If you need something wider, my recommendation is Tokina 11-16 f2.8.

Having said that, I'd still highly recommend you to look at EOS M50 (similar price point to the 200d). Because dslr (and 200d is a DSLR) in general is a dying breed. The future is mirrorless. If I"m not mistaken, the 1DX -Mark 3 should be the last dslr canon released. After that, the company will only make mirrorless camera.

Big aperture is not equal to wide lens. Big aperture lenses are those that comes with big F numbers, like F1.2, F1.4, F1.8 and F2....being smaller the number, bigger the aperture.

Wide angle lens are lenses that has focal length that is 16mm or less (for apsc sensor)

For your usage (vloggin and youtube content), I think the lens that best suit your need is the Sigma 16mm f1.4. It is wide enough and yet, give you the f1.4 big aperture to blur abit your background. Noticed that I said blur a bit is because generally, for wide angle lens, you can't get too much blur background. Blur background usually achieved using long focal length like 30mm above. But that focal length would be not suitable for vlogging.

Thank you very much! I will do more research and definitely reach out to you when i discover more grounds!

I did see that for my purpose, mirrorless actually seems more feasible (lighter, and no need the optical viewfinder thingy since im not doing any photography or cinematography etc.) - if what i read is correct.

That said im definitely eyeing something along this budget. Curious to see if there’s any good physical shop with competitive price for these cameras, or I should get one from Shopee instead

For fast moving object and function well in low light, you might want to get a dslr. Canon M50 may not cut it....you can look to canon 6D mark 2 with your budget.

I am looking for an entry-level but excellent mirrorless camera. I have done up some researches and so I kinda know the difference between full frame and APS-C lens. I obviously prefer the full frame since I will be shooting and recording underwater as well therefore a better image quality is preferable, but it is way more costly than APS-C lens. Also I, am not planning to upgrade my camera body for a long time once I get it. So can anyone please advise whether I should go for full frame or APS-C lens? Is the image quality difference huge?

Thank you!

Hi everyone!

I'm interested in learning more about photography since end of last year when I helped a family member to take pictures during their ROM. Quite happy with the results.

Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : Canon/Sony/Fujiflim
Type of photography u want to do : Landscape, Portrait, Food, Product, My Cat and other random stuffs, which includes video.
Any specific models in mind? : Canon EOS 50M, Sony A6000/Sony A6400, Fujiflim XT100/XT200.
Any specific features u want? : Not to bulky room to be able to change lens if I want to pursue this further. Thus cost of lens would come into consideration.
I have a old Canon camera but I rarely use it as its getting blurry.

Thank you!

The image quality difference is very minimal. Usually you can only see the differences if you zoomed in at least 100%. I would advise you to get into something like Sony a6400 and save your money for good lenses. The reason to go for sony is that you have the upgrade path from APSC to Full frame in the future. If you go canon eos M6II the mount is totally different from the EOS R and RP mount. OTOH, if you have the money to go FF body + lens, then go straight into FF. Any FF of those you've listed above is more than capable for underwater photography provided u can get the housing.


If you want to get Sony, at least the a6400, the a6000 is really dated at this point. If you want to go for fujifilm, at least get a XT20/30 body. IF you really wanted the flip out screen, then the XT200 is fine. Just don't go for the XT100 no matter how cheap it is, unless you going to get it for free. The AF is really slow on the XT100.

3 Creepy True Fire Drill Stories

Hi folks, I already own gopro and now looking for mirrorless for good quality pics, which camera brand are suitable for hikers or 4x4 traveler?

we usually drive all types of terrain, trails to waterfalls or camp near river. Would like to shoot sunrise, sunset, gang members and mountain view, most importantly how you guys protect camera gear to get dirty? because harsh and wet area will damage camera optics right?

And which camera brand are reputable on after sales service? Likes grpro malaysia which they very honored their warranties. thanks!
