Getting Started Junior Member 282 posts Joined: Dec 2005	Lately my friend ask why i choose small camera instead of good camera. Then i tot of this topic. P/S : not to compare between brands ya .. just to share story and view jerr .. Brand : Sony Model : NEX3 Reason : start to learn photograph, first tot of easy carry and able to change lens. But there are limited lens available, so have tried classic lens (M42) too Brand : Canon Model : 70D Reason : because of friend around mostly are Canon guys. So get myself a 70D + 50mm 1.8 + 10-18mm F4.5-5.6. Found that the camera body is too big to me and sometime even lazy to take the camera out when traveling. Brand : Sony Model : A7 Reason : got is 2nd hand at kldslr with kit lens. Size is just nice and enjoy during my taiwan travel lately. Soon i realize i just want an easy carry and interchangeable lens is not important to me anymore. Brand : Sony Model : RX100 IV Reason : just got it last few weeks. Good to go and so far so good. you may use below tag to start with : CODE [b]Brand :[/b] [b]Model :[/b] [b]Reason : [/b] peace This post has been edited by djboycalvin: Mar 29 2017, 10:28 PM

Brand: Panasonic Model: Lumix LX3 Reason: Starting to learn photography. Later on felt limited cuz bokeh not nice Brand: Nikon Model: D40 Reason: 1st DSLR...bought 2nd hand with 35mm f/1.8G. still remember when I received the package...the nikon strap was super smelly LOL. threw it away immediately n bought a crumpler strap. fell in love with bokeh~ Brand: Nikon Model: D90 Reason: Got more serious into photography and starting to get paid jobs. Also around this time I got my flash and 15mm and 85mm lenses. Good times! Brand: Fuji Model: X100 Reason: Change of job means I dont get to shoot much anymore. Mostly using a camera for travel. Got tired of bringing my DSLR, so I wanted a great APS-C compact. Long story short, I love the pics, but my tolerance for the slow AF ran out. Also quite annoyed how the exposure compensation dial turns too easily Brand: Sony Model: A6000 Reason: Pretty much solves the AF problem (by far!). 1st time enjoying wifi transfers, can quickly share photos on whatsapp and FB hehe! The 24mm Zeiss would be the perfect way to replace the fuji, but too expensive. However im happy with the Sigma 30/1.4. Really enjoy this compact system + possibility to expand. Now funding for 85/1.8 and the 10-18, returning to my D90 setup hehe actually i have quite a few of friend they moving to fuji and sony mirrorless ... ya one of the reason is portable. Most people say fuji color better but i dont get it why.. maybe im not a professional, i take photography as my hobby and entertainment jerrr ... so i dono how to use flash, know abit of touch up jer .. want to learn lightroom + ps so much ..

Started to get very interested in DSLR. Know nothing much about lens yet. Brand : Nikon Model : D7000 Reason : Same friend who loan me the D5000 took it back but swap this D7k. Came with Tamron 17-50 f2.8. First time to play with a F2.8 zoom and prime lens 50mm f1.8D. My friend took it back after his main weapon (D4) went for service. Brand : Olympus Model : E-300 Reason : Work for my other friend for 2 hours and it was a "wages" for the work I did for him. Came with 2 kit lens. Not a bad deal for a 2 hours work pay. ISO very bad, only usable up to 800. Very very noisy at 1600. Wanted to get a flash for indoor use, but before I could afford one, the camera body stolen. Brand : Fujifilm Model : X100s Reason : Another loan unit. It was to swap the D7k. Had it for few months. Like the fuji OOC jpeg. 23mm f2.0 fixed lens is very sharp, but bokeh quality so so....can be very distracting and cannot change lens has been very frustrating at time. AF quite slow especially indoor use. Good thing wasn't my own. Returned to owner after I acquired my own a6000 Brand : Sony Model : a6000 (current) Reason : Bought with my own sweat money. Best bang for buck, small size, 11fps, crazy amount of focus point. so good you have friend can loan you camera, while last time i only can puasa to save money. Still remember the moment when buying my first camera, so happy. but then people wonder why i going backward .. ya .. back to point and shoot .. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Mar 30 2017, 09:19 AM) yeah a lot of ppl saying fuji colours are better..i dont really get it as well TBH haha but since fuji X system only covers APS-C, they do have the size advantage when it comes to their lenses. the price tho... there are tons of lightroom tutorials on youtube bro. until now I still think lightroom is one of the most well-designed UX around because there's a lot of features but still relatively easy to learn. photoshop is the one with the steep learning curve. mostly i get the lightroom tutorial from fb page / youtube. about color adjust (brightness, contrast, etc) .. i found quite subjective to person. some may prefer sharper and higher contrast while i prefer softer .. more like japanese style photo (dono what it called) This post has been edited by djboycalvin: Mar 30 2017, 09:56 AM

I like canon (60d) colour as well. But then again, I supposed if you shoot raw, the advantage of fuji would be minimized. Yeah, I agreed, I do have a good friend in photography. For a few years (while I can't afford the camera), in my heart, I've committed to Nikon system and thinking that DSLR is the way to go for me, till he lent to me his D7K and helped me realized, I need a mirrorless instead. Yeah, why you go backward? After I've tasted blood (fun of ILC), I can never go back to camera with a fixed lens (prime or zoom alike) ya, no doubt A7 is a very good camera (fullframe somemore). I have bring my A7 to italy, france, london and taiwan, but most of the time the A7 will sleep in my camera bag until the next travel journey (local / oversea). i not taking photography job so extra lens may not necessary. so, my mind tot "why not just get the smaller camera yet not sacrifice the image quality so much " .. then rx100m4 /rx100m5 / g7x II come in my mind. fullframe sensor to 1" sensor. then i realized " everything i want not everything i need "
