big scary monsters posted:yeah it sucks. some of the sigma and tamron lenses are at least as good as the canon equivalents for a much lower price and I was looking forward to getting them in rf mount. the ef mount ones work fine with the adapter but still. honestly wondering if i should swap over to nikon before my next nice lens. could get a couple tamron g2 lenses and buy a z7 with the money I'd save over the first party versions yeah I’d probably have gone sony except sony has reputation for gross skin tones. technically superior cameras with weird menus and gross skin tones

no, i think most people itt that know about sensor noise vs. added noise realize that's added in post. they are genuinely pretty noisy as-is which makes any complaint about sensor size pretty ridiculous honestly. like, i could frame it this way guy that intentionally obliterates detail and adds noise: haha, i scoff at your tiny sensors obviously i'm joking a bit but, you know, it's kinda true. lol MFT sensors are not bad by any means. like, is there literally anything i've posted itt from a MFT cam that is unacceptable because of sensor limitations? i seriously doubt you'd be able to find even one example. i mean, i also shoot full frame with an objectively better camera by your own admission — the difference is not as vast as you'd been led to believe. photo blogs generally have an agenda because of sponsors

Achmed Jones posted:Important question: would an MFT camera be satisfactory for astrophotography stuff and bugpics? bugpics: yeah absolutely. anything will work so long as you use the right lens astrophotography: a lot of people will tell you "no, the sensor is too small to be useful", and that is complete horseshit. as long as you always shoot raw and use manual settings, it is absolutely definitely possible and you would get satisfactory results however: for astrophotography i would have to recommend a higher end body unfortunately, i know you're trying to keep things cheap. in this context that means a panasonic g7 at the least, g85 recommended, and g95 as the pro choice. if you prefer rangefinders instead the series sequence applies for those too. for olympus, any mark e-m5 or e-m1 will be able to pull it off with ease. they are comparatively ridiculously expensive though, but that's because they are really good. i have not read any reviews of the most recent e-m10, but if you want, i can look at a few and give an opinion. i have a mk1, thats admittedly pretty old i've never used the leica MFT cams, but they are manufactured by panasonic anyway. beyond body styling i have no idea what the difference is, maybe software

sensors with bigger photosites are objectively better at noise rejection than ones with smaller photosites, so if you have two 20mp sensors designed at about the same time and one is a crop and the other is full frame, the full frame sensor will be less noisy. however, if the sensors were made in the last 5 years or so, the difference between them will be marginal, and there will be no detectable difference if you're shooting in good light. sensors have gotten very good at low-iso performance, and the internal noise reduction algorithms go even further. echinopsis posted:unfortunately it ain’t no sony. it’s glorious when there is plenty of light but when it’s dark I do need to up the ISO. hosed up but true. it’s miles better than my old camera, and I would be intrigued to see it compared to other sensors, no reason to believe it would be particularly worse than anything else you used to have a 7d, right? your new camera takes less noisy photos not because the sensor is physically larger, but because it's like 5 generations newer. the noise levels of your eos R and an aps-c eos R7 will be essentially identical.

larger photosites can also give you have a higher dynamic range but idk how much value you're getting out of that

KidDynamite posted:what are some snow shooting tips? higher f-stop slower shutter speed if i have a tripod? i want to be able to capture the horizon sharply. Generally shoot snow how you would shoot everything else, but if it's sunny out you may need to take add a stop of exposure compensation to make up for how bright snow is. Getting your horizon sharp is just a matter of where you're focusing.

higher dynamic range can be great if you know how to use it the first time i was playing with raws from my a7iii i was genuinely amazed. it's crazy how you can lift the shadows, highlights, whatever without really any loss of quality at all, it doesn't even look unnatural. imo that adds a lot of utility and flexibility but that's not necessary. raws from my other camera systems do that too, just not as well. it's only really useful if you are doing heavy post processing or really whiffed it hard on the exposure or something, which is a mistake i really really really rarely make there are obviously benefits to using larger sensors but for most people smaller ones would be fine. MFT is great and the smaller and lighter bodies are a joy to use. i use them professionally all the time i can honestly say "smaller sensors suck" is a myth

Sagebrush posted:Well to a point. Cell phone sensors genuinely do suck balls that's true, but you can really pull out great RAW files out of them. Of course model dependent. My old Nexus 6P had an amazing camera, have printed from it and you cannot tell it was from a phone. Here's a scan of a print from it. My current phone is a pixel 6 or something and the lens is noticeably worse - distortion and blurryness around the corners. I've still printed from it and it's still serviceable. Moral of the story is print your photos.

fyi dpreview has an interface where you can compare raw shots from their camera reviews at full res side by side. one of them is a lens resolution check board, one is a white balance card, color balance boards, etc. if you are shopping for a camera or just interested, it's honestly a pretty good resource just keep in mind the site is owned by amazon. they're trying to sell the cameras too. lol Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Feb 3, 2023 |
