I shoot a lot of macro as well and I find the handling of the camera with my Minolta MD Macro Rokkor-X 50/3.5 to be superb. Good luck with your decision and best of the holidays,
#WHATS CONSIDERED HIGHT SHUTTERCOUNT GH3 FULL#
This is great value for money for a brand new full frame camera and lens. There is an unbelievable sale on right now of the 24MP Nikon D600 with the 24-85 VR lens for $1997. The only caveat is that if you do crop extensively, you might be better off with full frame and a higher megapixel count than you can get with the GH3. With a $1300 GH3 and a $500 Panasonic Leica 25mm f1.4 (50mm equivalent), you will have a formidable fast-focusing, low light combination. I think you would be very happy with the water-resistant, magnesium alloy GH3 (which is definitely not flimsy). Larry - I sold my T2i and moved over to the GH2 (and now a GH3) for similar reasons, and have never looked back. I would suggest the Leica 45mm and then go and handle the GH3 and E-M5 (the Leica lens can be used on both) in store and see which one suits you. Olympus (Micro 4/3) - 60mm/f2.8 macro about $500: also a great lens but may be too long for you as this is full frame equivalent of 120mm.Īll three companies offer a range of mirrorless bodies, but the top offerings from each are the NEX 7 (about $1200), the Panasonic GH2 (about $700, but GH3 is just being released and can be pre-ordered for $1300) and the Olympus OM-D E-M5 (about $1000). Panasonic (Micro 4/3) - Leica 45mm/f2.8 macro about $700: this gives a full frame equivalent of 90mm which is close to what you're using at the moment and is a great lens, but doesn't come cheap. Sony NEX (APS-C) - 30mm f/3.5 macro about $300: NEX cameras use similar size sensor as in your T2i so this might be too wide for you. Īs you say you shoot 90% of the time with a 50mm macro (full frame equivalent 80mm), it might be worth starting with what is on offer as far as lenses go. My budget is at most $2000, and I'll spend days hemming and hawing and obsessing over prices before spending that, but that said, I'm hoping someone here has been through what I'm going through and can give me some good advice on a camera or cameras to seriously consider.
I have looked at a variety of DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and point and shoots in the store, but the more I look the more confused I get. I might consider two cameras-a point and shoot and a more serious one such as a DSLR or a mirrorless one. I never shoot video (though did shoot lots of super 8 years ago!).
#WHATS CONSIDERED HIGHT SHUTTERCOUNT GH3 MANUAL#
Of course I want manual and RAW, and a reasonably sophisticated feature set. I do want a viewfinder, but could be persuaded otherwise. I'm not too concerned about flash or fast shutter speed, since I do not take action shots as a rule and only do flash photography at family events and the like. So, given that I'm disappointed in Canon and my lenses are crap, I think maybe it's time to seriously consider changing brands. What I want most from a camera are large enough files and sharp enough images that I can use a 50mm or similar lens and crop away a lot as needed and print up to 13x19 (or larger when I buy a new printer). (I also have an 85mm, but never use it.) I also have an Olympus SP-350 point and shoot, which is quite old and has problems of its own. Both lenses are dirty, and my wide angle no longer auto focuses. I work 90% with a 50mm macro, and sometimes use a wide angle. The T2i is a flimsy piece of crap that after only a few years doesn't work well.
A long time ago, I made Canon my brand of choice, and currently have the god-awful T2i (which replaced my Canon 20d). I'm a serious amateur, and have been taking photos for 30 years, but now I'm faced with a big decision.
