is almost Double 11 again. Many people have not purchased any products for a year, and now they think they can consider it. For those who like photography, this year it is quite troubled, which is the money on hand, such as 12,000 yuan, whether to buy a mobile phone, a micro-order, a lens, or two lenses, this is a problem.
So this time, I will study with you how to go about the next digital photography life. Of course, it mainly talks about the choices of ordinary people. For enthusiasts, the budget and choices are definitely different.
First look at the new products. There are not many new products this year. For example, Canon has R10, R7, Nikon has Z30, Sony has ZV-1F... Yes, they are all small-size CMOS cameras.
It is said that Sony is going to release A7R5, but in terms of price and supply, there is actually no need to consider the short term. It is estimated that it will be 19,000 yuan or more.
In addition, Tamron Sigma, and Nikon Sony have launched some lenses, which are small in number, but they are all high-quality, but the prices are generally over 6,000 yuan, 9,000 yuan, and more than 10,000 yuan, so the idea of supplementing the lens group is also quite costly at this point in time.
So, how should we choose? There are too many products and too little money. Let’s consider it from the perspective of demand.
First of all, if you are shooting people in daily life, it is recommended to have two choices, one is full-frame micro-single and the other is high-end mobile phones.
Now it seems that half-frame cameras have many factors that are not suitable for shooting people, such as lens mismatch, inaccurate color temperature, and low purity under low ISO. Therefore, if you are taking photos, it is recommended to choose a full-frame camera, even if it is a lens worth more than 1,000 yuan, such as the Nikon 40 F2, it is OK. For example, the picture above was taken by Nikon Z5.
In addition, if you buy a mobile phone like Huawei Mate 50, the portrait mode photography effect is also very good.
In addition, you can choose the Xiaomi 12S series, which has Leica tone, but to be honest, there are certain thresholds for understanding color and light and shadow, and you need to discover more stories in light and shadow. In contrast, the XMAGE of Huawei puts less pressure on the shooter, so you can just take it casually. Of course, careful photography can also produce good works.
To put it bluntly, for ordinary users, if you take portraits, it seems that Huawei and Xiaomi are enough, and iPhone is also good. If you are advanced, use full-frame and large-light control. If you use half a mirror sheet, it is a bit embarrassing and difficult to use.
The picture above is a reviewer who took Z30 with Ma 50 1.4. It feels that the story is not very good, and the perspective is a bit far. In short, compared to the full picture, it is still a bit insufficient. Of course, if you want to have such a camera first, the cost is indeed lower, the body is 5,000-6,000 yuan, the adapter ring html is 41,000 yuan, and the lens is second-hand, even if it is 2,800 yuan, this way 9,000 yuan can be achieved. However, the reviewer still recommends the 9,600 yuan Z5 set, and the lens can be slowly drawn.
On the other hand, a half-frame camera can also take a very refreshing lens, such as 50 2.8, but this lens costs 4,600 yuan. If you buy this lens, is it better to have a good horse and a good saddle, or a full-frame Z5 and Z6II, instead of the 4,800-yuan Z30 half-frame camera.
Secondly, if you are taking pictures of the scenery, you should choose a telephoto phone or camera plus telephoto lens .
The advantage of mobile photography is that it can be taken at any time. Generally, the phone is around you, but the camera is impossible, and it is even more impossible to have a telephoto lens on hand.
As for the camera, if you take a telephoto, it will not be a big problem during the day, and it will be nice to use a tripod at night, and it is not impossible to take pictures. For landscape photography, waiting for the light is long, which is more suitable for the elderly or professional photographers. Ordinary enthusiasts cannot afford to wait, and they are more likely to take a quick look.
When we face good natural scenery, a Nikon 24-200, or Tamron 50-400, Nikon 100-400, etc. are often able to seize the opportunity at this moment, which is a good choice. It is big, heavy, and expensive. It depends on your personal considerations for whether a photo is worth it.
So can you take telephotos on your phone? It is also possible at present.
For example, the picture above is a photo of Pixel 7 Pro. This is true after
zooming, it is still available, and it can be further zoomed through super resolution zoom technology (Super Res Zoom).
Moreover, even if we only take pictures of an ordinary corner of the park, the 3X's light-changing lens is better than none, which can bring a very good experience. For example, the picture above was taken by Honor 70 Pro.
And even for night scenes, even for 3X small telephotos, there will still be a better chance of playing, and this opportunity is not available to ordinary main cameras.
Third, it is about video. It is recommended to choose an iPhone with a camera, and half-film mirrorless is also good.
Currently in the mobile phone field, the strongest video device is the iPhone. After iPhone 14 and 14 Pro strengthened the movie effect, the video performance of Apple has become stronger. Due to various reasons, such as the inconsistency and mismatch between the system and the ISP and the camera, the videos of other mobile phones have lagged behind in the overall smoothness to picture quality.
But iPhone also has shortcomings, because CMOS is relatively small, and Apple deliberately restricts it. 4K 60 frames can only be used on macOS to edit and process, so you either buy a high-performance mac and add Final Cut Pro, or you still be honest with 4K 30 frames.
At this time, everyone will think of Canon R6, but the 4K 60-frame video is very large, the storage is difficult and editing is difficult. As a fan, it seems a bit too hard.
So, let's take a second best view, let's try to shoot 4K 30 frames of video. Now the 4K video quality with half a micro-single is also good, such as Canon R7, R10, Nikon Z30, etc., and there is also a slow zoom function to achieve smooth zoom.
So for ordinary people, there may be two better ways. One is to use a light tripod with a micro-single to shoot static or slow-paced videos, and the other is to shoot walking videos with a strong sense of presence on your phone.
summary
Generally speaking, according to the function, we can choose this:
If you take pictures, you can choose Huawei mobile phone , or full-frame micro-single, or half-frame micro-single with large aperture lens;
shoot product pictures, you can only choose full-frame micro-single, and match various lenses;
shoot scenery, you can choose a mobile phone with telephoto, such as Mate 50 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro, or with camera and telephoto cannon;
shoot videos, you must use iPhone, and you can also use the camera to shoot 4K videos, 30 frames are enough, and you can also have a tripod.
As for you, after taking these photos, what is the use of videos? Just record life, just remember life, that's it. Time is gone forever, and it’s good that you can easily record it at this moment.
The most important thing is to have a heart that loves life. There are flowers in spring, moon in autumn, cool breeze in summer, snow in winter, and content can be taken at every point in time. If you don’t want to go out for a walk, you just want to take pictures, just don’t want to exercise. Don’t blame the equipment and the weather.
