Good camera to take pictures of games?

I got interested in taking photos when I was you my friends moms camera to take pictures of her at a game( she's in drill team) and I really want to take photography up as a hobby. I want a camera that takes good event pictures. I thought getting the nikon d3200 but some people didn't like how it worked but then I saw the nikon d3300 and nobody had anything bad to say about. Except one guy who said it didn't have AEB but I don't think I need that.

Fujifiml x-e1 and nikon non cpu lenses?

So, i am a bit confused and need some help.

I was considering getting an x-e1 over my d300. I dont really want to invest into the x mount lenses as they look quite pricey for me, so id rather stick with my ai-s nikon lenses.

Im wondering if there will be a problem with the distance of the nikon lens on the x-e1 (with a lens adapter), from the sensor?

Also, if the xe1 has a light meter which can read the arpeture ring from non cpu lenses?

And lastly, is there an option on the xe1 to fill in info about non cpu lenses? (Like there is on the d300).

If anybody has any good reasons why the d300 trumps the xe1 please let me know too! :)

Recommended Lens for Nikon D300?

I am planning to get a used Nikon D300 body. I am planning to purchase some lens.

I was suggested by one of my friends to get a prime lens and a zoom lens. However, I'm not too sure which one should I get.

I have did some research and I found that the 35mm and the 50mm prime lens are the more preferable ones. I have some confusion regarding which focal length should I take (1.4 or 1.8) and also the D or G version.

This will be my first time indulging in DSLR. I am planning to learn most of the different kinds of photography such as landscape, portraits, the 'bokeh' effect, long exposure shots, low-light photography, and perhaps timelapse.

Are there any suggested lens for the Nikon D300? I have a budget of roughly USD 300 to 400. As I am aware that lenses can be reused and I hope that I could get some quality ones so that I could use them for another 5 years. (I am planning to change the body after 1 - 2 years when I have learnt most of the photography stuff). Whether it is a used or new lens, it doesn't really matter to me as long as I could use them and learn the required skills.

Thank you.
Added (1). * Also, it seems that lenses with AF-S are more costly compared to the AF only ones. What is it used for and does it really matter in my case, say the D300 with a built in AF motor?

Can i get some fun park tips?

my family and i are going to an amusement park later on and i want to take better pics than i did yesterday

i have two strikes against me from the start…

1. With the crowds they have a tripod is not feasible

2. We cannot stay until nightfall, my niece's baby has to be home much earlier than that

so, that being said, how should i go about getting good shots, action shots for instance ie rides etc?

i use a Nikon D7100, i have an 18 to 105, 85mm micro, and 55 to 200 telephoto lens to work with as as well as a remote shutter release. I have a mini tripod but i just do not think it will work with so many people around, plus a tripod will draw more attention, which i do not want

Taking DSLR to concert at Rod Laver?

I'd like to take my Nikon D7100 with me to see Miley Cyrus at Rod Laver in October. I have tried contacting Rod Laver with no response as to lenses. All that is on their website is 'professional cameras' revolving around being prohibited. Does anyone know if it's just a flat out no to DSLR's, even if they've got small lenses - or if there is a restricted focal length?

Thanks.

DSLR or Mirrorless for video?

Hey guys! I was looking at picking up a new camera for shooting movies and what I want to know is: the 1080p on the Nikon D5300 worth the extra cash over the 1080i on the D5200?
Also I was looking at the Sony Alpha a6000 and really like the specs, but the semi articulating screen is a real put of for me. Is there a way around this via a smartphone app or something.
Maybe next gen I'll go mirrorless. What do you think?

Can someone recommend me a good DSLR camera around $700-800?

I don't specifically interested about any brand, but I love Canon, Nikon and Sony. Can we use full-frame lenses for Canon, Sony and Nikon APS-C cameras? And I would like to know what is the difference between Canon USM and TSM lenses.

I saw in some articles that Canon has 1.6X crop factor compared to 1.5X in Sony and Nikon. Does it significantly affect the picture quality or photography? Should I worry about it.

Wandering about a good selling price for my epuipment?

Ok so I bought a D3200 about a year ago after my D3100 and lenses was stolen. So when I bought the D3200 it came with the 18-55 kit lens but I also bought a sigma 70-300mm F/4.5-5.6 DG OS, Nikon 35mm F/1.8, and a very nice $150 bag. So now that I've been doing some research and have some money I've decided to make the big switch and get a Canon 7D which a friend of mine is selling (body and kit lens only) and it's in great condition and he's selling it to me for $700. So basically I'm wondering what a good price would be to sell my equipment so I can buy his 7D (it's ok if I need to use some money on top of the sell to buy the body and lenses)

Thanks for all any answers!

How to manually set up the controls on the Nikon D3100 for videography?

I've done everything, but I think the video mode is not affected by the manual controls. The only manual thing that works is the focus. I don't know If the shutter speed setting works fine. One obvious thing that I notice is the ISO. I've pushed down the ISO to ISO 100 and opened the aperture to it's widest point, but still the video looks really grainy

Selling my current equipment wondering what a good price is?

Ok so I have a Nikon D3200 I bought for $550, the 18-55 kit which sell for $100 new, a Sigma 70-300 F/4.5-5.6 DG OS which I bought for $200, and a Nikkor 35mm F/1.8 which I got for $200, plus a $100 camera bag. I want to sell it all fast so I can buy a Canon 7D which I find for around $700 but I'm not sure if that's a good price to sell my stuff for. I'm ok with spending a little for the 7D and a lens! So basically what would you guys be happy with spending my my current equipment? Thank you!

P.S. The Body only has about 1000 shots on it with probably half on the 18-55 kit lens and the other lenses probably all have about the same so about 250 or so each! Thanks again!

Photography logo designs?

Hey, guys. I'm an amateur photographer in need of a logo for my pictures. I've been taking regular sunsets and scene shots on a basis, and have been suggested to buy a professional camera. The Nikon D3100 suits my budgit so far. But before I start taking pictures with it, with some studying and practicing, of course, I would like to have a logo that I could add to them.
Does anyone knows a simple, but yet, advanced software, website, program, etc. That can do so?
Nothing fancy. Like this: TC (my name), and "photography" under it.
Something like in script that would make it seem like the 'T' and the 'C' kind of joins together…
P.S. I'm adding a sample that I've been messing around with.
Any help or volunteers would be highly appreciative.

Replacing LCD Screen?

So I have this broken LCD Screen on a Samsung WB30F Camera… Looking cheap to get it replaced and I found a couple of exact replacements but they say they are for Nikon and Canon and I thought, would it be regardless considering that the measurements and the KP matches my WB30F camera? But then I took a look at the ribbons and I am not sure if they are preview versions but they look different on the Canon and Nikon.

Considering what shape the ribbon is on my camera, if I bought one exactly the same, would it fail to work?

I have few doubts, does both have VR?

Which is a good lens for taking experimental photos/videos.

100mm difference will make higher difference?

Digital SLR For Pictures and Video & Audio recording?

Hello all,

I'm planning to buy a DSLR to take pictures and record video and audio
and mount it to a tripod
(Not to do professionally, but hobby/interest like).

This will be my first DSLR, i've only owned regular digital cameras in the past.
I do have some experience with DSLR's but not a lot (but i'm willing to learn).
I've been looking a lot at the Canon Rebel series, Nikon, and Samsung

I guess these are my perimeters:
- DSLR
- Max $800
- Newbie friendly but still good for more experienced persons (if not possible then, more experienced)
- Comes with a lens? (Unless you guys know how to get a good body and lens for under $800)
- Mountable on a Tripod

Thanks in advance:D
Added (1). Update #1: When I said $800, I meant after taxes as well… So I live in Toronto so its 13% so
whatever retail is, its multiplied by 1.13 D:

Do you have to add PC syc and HotShoe voltages together?

I have a Nikon D200 and two flash units. One attaches to the Hotshoe and the other with a PC sync cable. The one on the cable is old and has a 234V trigger. The other flash is a Nikon SB-20 with a 5.5V trigger. Will I have to add these voltages up to see if it's under the rated max voltage (Which is 250V. I know they add up to less than that but I'm a bit oo err with the old flash by it's self) or do the connectors have their own separate max voltages? Thanks

D7100 / D610 / Cannon?

Hey guys,
I have a question, So I'm thinking about buying the D7100 (now I own the D3200), but also thinking about the D610, I really want the full frame option, yet, it's way more expensive considering that I'm not a professional, if you think I should get the D7100, maybe there is a better option at the same price for a Cannon body?
Thanks for everyone who helps:)

Nikon D series technical issue?!

I really love my Nikon. Seriously love it. However, it is battery operated and only takes lithium batteries (4 AA) which run out after about 10 pictures. I believe this is because I used to try using alkaline, but either way it's so pricey and irritating to handle. Does anybody have a solution to this other than rechargeable batteries? I don't have the paperwork with the warranty and it's a few years old. I KNOW I will want to be using it when the baby is born, and it is a favorite birthday gift of mine that I will not sell/trade.

Which lens should I use to shoot my first wedding?

I have a Nikon d300 and am shooting my first wedding on Sunday. I have an 18-55 mm lens and a 18-135 mm lens. I am much more comfortable with the 135 but have read that the 55 will produce better images for the wedding. I will bring them both but which should I plan on using more and what should I definitely plan on using each for? Any any other tips for shooting a wedding?

How to talk and what to do when you see a celebrity?

This probably sounds stupid to you, but oh well.

How do you get a picture with a celebrity if you're unprepared? For example, you're just walking around somewhere and you spot a celebrity? I don't have a smartphone, all I have is a shitty slide phone. Don't tell me to bring my Nikon around because it's just too heavy and space consuming.

How do you ask them to get a picture? I'm kind of shy and I don't want to be awkward.

What do you get signed by them? Do you ask them to autograph a piece of paper or something? What items are good to be signed?

Upgrade Nikon D3200? Or buy better LENS to perform as FullFrame?

I bought my Nikon D3200( 18-105 DX) around November 2012. I am not a professional photographer, but would love to develop my pictures taken as that of a full frame output. When i bought my camera i didn't know the term sensor crop/ full frame. With time the use of Nikon D3200 in my hands has improved, and i feel the need to go for better lens for crispier and lenght of depth pictures. While hunting and researching for an additional lens for my D3200, i came across the full frame factor. Now, i am in a fix, whether to upgrade My D3200 to full frame body or to go for additional lenses. I like taking pictures while travelling, and also landscapes, monuments, buildings, peoples, market etc. I am not into portrait and studio photography. Can you recommend me on this issue as budget is another factor for all the above mentioned reasons. I Cannot afford a Brand new full frame camera. Please ADVICE.

Hello! I am currently looking for a solution to a problem with my Nikon D5100… I have owned it for 2 years now, and have had no issues up to now. Last week I switched lenses (the same way I always have) but when I take pictures now, something is obstructing the view internally… I have tried several lenses to make sure one of those is not the issue, so I know it's internal… Anyone know what's up and how to fix it? Example of a photo showing the obstruction attached… I have not dropped it, so I'm not sure how or why it started doing this… Thanks!Nikon D5100 camera issue

Nikon 1J1 showing Lens Error: Contacts a Nikon-authorized service center?

I don't get how this happened. I didn't drop the camera or do anything to the lens. I had just finished filming a video when this message popped up. I was zooming in on something (gently as I always do) and the message just popped up and wont go away! I've tried removing the lens and leaning it, turning the camera off and back on and removing the battery and SD card. No matter what I do the message pops up every time I turn on the camera. Does anyone know why this popped up and how/if i can fix it at home? I bought this camera when they first came out so it was really expensive but I really dont have the money to have it repaired now. :( help!

Which type of lens is better for handheld low light photography?

I am looking for lenses for my DSLR to upgrade from my kit lens so that I can improve image quality on my trip to Disneyland, especially in low light conditions since my fastest lens is f/3.5 (18-55mm kit lens). I am trying to decide whether it would be better to get an f/2.8 lens with image stabilization or an f/1.8 lens without image stabilization (the specific lenses are the Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 and the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8). I plan to use the lens without a tripod as much as I can, especially on dark rides. Would I benefit more from the image stabilization or the wider aperture? I have a Nikon D3000, so anything above ISO1600 is out of the question, and anything above ISO800 looks terrible.

Why do I think 640x480 image size enough?

Am I the only person who thinks 640x480 image size is enough? I occasionally take print out of the images at 6x4 and it looks quite good. Then why did the camera manufactures always tells that we need atleast 12 mp (4000x3000) for our normal use. And now they even promote 16 mp point and shoot camera.

It is all marketing hipe?

Trying to decide what DSLR to get?

I'm having a bit of difficulty. I thought I decided on the rebel t5i but I recently read a few reviews that say it's beginning to get outdated and that it's basically the same as its predecessor. That stresses me out a little bit. I mean, there are better and better cameras each year so I don't want to get anything too outdated. I read about another Canon (forget what model) and read something similar. So now I've started looking at Nikons. I like the sound of the D5300 but read that is best for "experienced shooters", which I'm not. I really want to become a good photographer and I want something I can grow into, however I don't want to go over my head. What do you think of the D5300? Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks a lot

Is there any such thing called FX to DX converter from Nikon?

I was wondering if there is any such thing called FX to DX Converter because I really fell in love with this lens from Nikon - AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G (Special Edition) and I really want to buy it. But the problem is that this lens is basically based on FX cameras and I have the D3200 which is DX so, there comes a crop factor.

Okay so please answer my question and please don't be rude. Okay so I'm 12 (girl) and I'm pretty mature for my age but anyways, i really, really want to make a youtube but the problem I think is my age. I want to make funny / vlog type of videos but I'm trying to save up for a camera and all those things. I already have a tripod and I guess I could use my sister's camera (nikon) and yeah but do you think that 13 (i will be turning that age very soon) be too young to do that?

Is it worth upgrading from the Nikon d3000 to later models?

I have had the D3000 for about 4 years now and I find it quite limiting in it's manual mode. I'd like to learn more about proper photography rather than "point and shoot" but I feel like the D3000 is not very comprehensive when it comes to manual mode. Firstly am I just making this up?
And if I were to upgrade, what camera would you suggest? I was looking at the D5100 but I'm wondering if it's worth upgrading to that since it seems pretty similar to the D3000 (correct me if I'm wrong?)
I was also considering the D7000 but I don't have a lot of experience shooting in manual mode. Will the step up be too complicated or should I just try it?

Which camera should I bring with me on my trip to Central/Eastern Europe?

Hi all, I'm going on a trip to Central/Eastern Europe in a few weeks, and I'm facing a dilemma over which camera I should bring. I have a Nikon D90 and a Nikon 1 S1. I'm not a professional photography, but it is an avid hobby of mine. I usually take photos with my iPhone. I want nice pictures for this trip but I also don't want to lug around and be so invested in being alert over the D90 that I won't be enjoying the trip. I havent practiced all too much with the D90, but I know enough to take OK pictures. I don't like the quality of the S1 very much, but it's easy to use and it's much lighter. This trip is one of those "once in a lifetime" trips. I want to make sure I have good pictures, but I don't want to have to compromise too much comfort for it. Thoughts?

Which is most reasonable to get? Canon G1x, Nikon p7800, or Canon G16?

I like that the sensor is largest on the g1x meaning better image quality for the most part, it is also a bit large and lacks macro capabilities. The G16 does not have a flip out screen or large sensor, but is faster than the G1x in terms of autofocus. The p7800 has the flip out screen and takes better macro. My main concerns are the macro capabilities, image quality, and flip out screens. I am planning on buying used (or new), so I don't plan on spending much more than 400. Which camera would be best for my concerns and is there any other cameras that would meet my criteria with image quality of the G1X, speed of the g16, and macro of the p7800?

Should I upgrade Canon 600D (T3i) to Nikon D5200 for Photography as well as Videography?

Hello
I'm canon user & currently I've using Canon 600D. But personally I'm not fully satisfied with my 600D in terms of Photography. But in terms of Cinematography it's a great camera & using with Magic Lantern it's awesome. After watching your video personally my vote goes to Nikon D5200 because it's comes with full manual control in video mode like my canon as well as great features for photography. 39 AF points & 24.1 MP really worth investment. But my question is can I switched from Canon to Nikon? I'm doing in studio photography as well as prewedding,event,music cinematography & my working ratio photography:viddeography is 40:60. Please I need a proper advice.
Your personal opinion please.
Appreciate.
Thank you.

Why do all vintage cameras look the same?

look at the canon ae-1 the pentax me/me super, and the nikon fm3 a. They look almost exactly the same. The logo is in the same place and the model is too, same font as well, they're even the same texture! Was this some sort of marketing gimmick?

Debating switching over from nikon to canon…thoughts?

So long story short, I've been a nikon user 100% for two main reasons: Nikon is cheaper than canon, and two, I started off with all nikon lenses, so I stayed nikon.

However, I'm currently getting into videography as well as some cinematography, and recently had the opportunity to film a wedding using the canon 70D and I was amazed at the way the camera worked. This being said, I have been saving up for a while now in order to buy a new better nikon DSLR, such as the d800, or now even the d810 due to it's video features and that I have all nikon glass. But since recently using the 70D, Ive been debating switching to canon for it's video features which most say beat nikon, and buying a 70D would certainly save me some money which I could use to buy canon glass.

I'd like anyone's thoughts on this as well as advice on both makers/cameras. Thank you!

I need some serious help?

I have a Nikon D3100, and am looking at getting a speed light or two. I have heard good things about the SB-600, but I have also read that it doesn't allow you to use your flash as a commander? I am planning on getting wireless triggers for it. Would it even matter that I cant use it as a commander if I have the triggers? I am VERY inexperienced with flash, and I really need help. I would like to get a fairly descent flash or two because I have a few weddings in the next couple months. I have told them my concerns about low light, and they still want me to be their photographer. So, I would just like to get a descent flash before then, and understand at least the basics. At the very least, I just need to know how to bring in a bit of light to the room. So, would the SB-600 be a good option? I do believe that I would like off camera flash, that is why I will get triggers. So, with the triggers, everything should work out good?

Canon/Nikon Camera Rifle?

Ok, so I'm a pretty big photographer, and recently I've found some pictures and items like the ones pictured here of cameras with a stock and trigger like a rifle. The trigger actually works and takes the picture (i.e. You can see the wire on the top one) and the stock would help to steady the picture. I'm looking for something similar to one of these.
The top picture looks like an attachment for a regular camera which I can't find, and the bottom picture is a Fotosnaiper, an antique Russian camera that's no longer made or really sold.
I own a Canon Kiss Digital X, so it would be best if there was one for that, but I wouldn't mind upgrading cameras either.
A huge thanks to anyone who can help me outCanon Nikon Camera Rifle

How to get better lighting for better quality pictures?

Ok me and my friends started and run a car meet. We have been taking picture of the cars coming out with a d3000 and a cannon and other Nikon dslr that I forget which model.
However, we meet in a parking lot at night where the lighting is absolutely awful. We are wanting to set up a station to set up with some lighting and tripod and all that to get great pictures but no clue what equipment I need to get as I am not that experienced with photography right now. Prefer to spend as less as possible but need stuff that will last. Thanks in advance!

Can't choose a DSLR?!

I finally decided to buy a DSLR, i did some searching around on the net and decided to buy the Nikon D3300, but a few commenters say that the Nikon D5100 has better image quality. Others even say that i should get the Pentax K-500, because that's the best beginner DSLR. Could any of you help me pick one of these three, or maybe suggest something in the same price range, because i'm kinda on a tight budget.

Upgrade from a Nikon D5200?

Which entry level dslr is better? - 1

I've narrowed it down to:
-Nikon D3300
-Nikon D5200
-Canon Rebel t3i

Now you're probably wondering- why are there two, relatively new, nice Nikons along with an outdated Canon?

I really want a rotating screen, which the t3i offers. But the other two are considered the BEST entry level dSLRs (I've checked many sites, and they all say these two.)

Is the rotating screen not worth the lag and outdated model? Are there any other better cameras that are similar to the Nikons with rotating screens? Or do you have any other recommendations for an amateur photographer?

Also- which camera bag do you recommend (good against water/dust/etc for outdoor photoshoots.)

Thank you all so much!

Camera lenses help?!

I'm a beginner photographer.

I have a Nikon D3200 with the lens that came with the camera and i also have a Nikon 55-300 and a Tamron 70-300.

They're both really good lenses but sometimes when I'm out in the field doing my bird photography I find I sometimes need a bit or a lot of extra zoom.

What would be the next zoom up from the lenses I have?

Thank you for any help, I really hope someone can help 😊

Newer Nikon Camera with significant quality difference over the Nikon D40x?

I bought a Nikon D40x six years ago and later added a Nikon 18 - 200 mm lens. I like the camera and the photos it takes. People often compliment my photographs. But on a cruise recently, I was amazed at the quality of the portrait photos the ship's photographers took with their Nikon cameras. I asked the guy how he got such great photos and he said "start by buying a $3,500 camera".

My question is what model or price of Nikon camera would I need to move up to in order to see a difference in my photos? I know equipment isn't everything but a much larger sensor has to make a difference so where is that sensor size level ( and thus price level) where a newer Nikon model would show a better quality photo?

What Nikon camera and lenses will be good for newborn photography?

I am not a professional just a regular person with a little experience in photography. I am interested in newborn and family photography for a side thing. Photography has always been a passion of mine. I learned to shoot on a Nikon and I am interested in finding out what are some good lenses to capture the small details. I am not looking to spend a whole lot of money as I am just learning and beginning.

Would a D5200 be sufficient? And what lenses?

Thanks!

Should I purchase a 18-55mm or 55-250mm lens?

I have just purchased a Canon 7D after selling a entry-level Nikon and need to purchase a lens which will be primarily used during an overseas trip to Europe. Due to my limited budget I am currently looking at the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II or Canon EF-S 55-250mm F4-5.6 IS II Telephoto Lens.

I know the benefits/advantages of both but was more asking based on others experiences to see which lens you personally found more useful or of better quality. Thank you in advance for your responses!

Confused between 35mm vs 50mm prime?

I am confused between buying a 35mm prime and 50mm prime for my new DSLR Nikon D5300.

I know the difference between these lenses. 50 mm will act like a 75mm which is perfect for close up or half body portraits. I am aware that on my system the 35mm will act nearly as a 50mm lens, which is a standard lens and close to what human eye sees.

But I am confused that which lens will I be needing more in my daily life. I will do portraits but groupies or street photographs as well.

Needless to say that I have 2 zoom lenses 18-55 & 55-200 which will cover all my needs, but I want one prime lens which will provide superior pics to zoom lenses.

Being a newbie to DSLR I know that I won't be shooting models most of the time, rather I will be shooting my friends and colleagues more. But it is also true to create an impression and attract models one need to capture good portraits.

Reading all these please suggest me which prime lens should I go for and why.
P.S.: I need to buy it urgently.
