Best DSLR camera for travel

[reiser]

Still got ppl use DSLR?

Because I think hp camera is a different ballgame from DSLR. My hp pics look like I have never used a hp before. Everybody in the family thinks the pics I take are horrible. They didn’t have such complaints when I was using a DSLR.

iEyes, can recall at any instance and can last a life time for meaningful event.

50mm is nice if u have Full Frame..

its horrible on APS-C

It really all depends on your standing distance and how tight u prefer the shot

I often shoot with “cropping” off of the forehead. Perhaps it is unorthodox

but agree that 35-50mm is great for environmental portrait that u want to show some surrounding

The equivalent fov will be x 1.5 or 75mm. It’s too zoomed in to be useful

For apsc get a 20-30mm lens to shoot portriature

yeah.. but 35mm prime lens is so bloody expensive

u could sub with 40mm or 28mm if the 35mm is too ex........

aps-c. cursory inspection is decently sharp towards corners at wide open. I had a blast using them in near pitch darkness wide open high iso recently. last trip to jp i wasnt allowed to use tripod for the gundam show or temple night illumination so basically shot them mostly wide open.....

I wonder if monopod allowed.

that said I dunno how much it helps and I had never seen anyone used it before

nowadays if you go touristy places with dslr, be prepared that you may get asked alot of times by other people to help take their photos
because of mirrorless and phones, people now see dslr user as some zai fotographer lol

its not going to add more than 1-2 stops. chances are if u can find a rubbish bin its probably much more stable.......

I hate only if it's a dino or lao kwei bu, or any guy/ghey

If it's a xmm or at least decent looking bu, I will feel honoured to be asked for help

Haha, yeah. People asked me to help them use their hp take photos when they see me using a dslr. They thought if you use a dslr, you must be very good with any kind of camera.

Unfortunately Sony sizes are getting bigger and bigger. Went to Sony centre to molest an A7r5, it is way heftier than my current A7r. It is even bigger than the A1. At this rate they are going to become nearly as colossal as a DSLR..

Detractors complained about the early Sony shallow grip. I rather have a tiny full frame with option to add on small rigs or batt grips than to be stuck with bulk.
Dun usually hear Leica folks complain about ergonomics when they dun even have an integrated "grip"

wow thanks
didnt realised but it seems like it was due to having a bigger grip that people complained...

my next europe trip - I'm really contemplating what camera to bring. hahha

Any smaller it will be the A7cr.

yes prob just a light lens to go with, lime 35mm-

but the thought of bringing a minimum 6L camera bag is... *lazy*. btw I'm also a hobbyist not a pro.
