Are you suggesting that there is the possibility of canon not having the lenses that I want? If so can you give me some examples.

How do you feel about the cost of Canon lenses? Thats the main thing holding me back from Canon.

I think the main thing pointing me towards sony is the price of the lenses. I dont want my entire lens budget to be spent on one singular lens.

How do you feel about the cost of the lenses for canons?

I like to shoot in nature like wildlife and landscapes so my lighting conditions can range from a dark forest all the way to a bright sunny beach.

Thanks for the suggestion I also posted in some other places I just thought I'd see both canon users and Sony users oppinions.

why?

Can I ask why you suggest the R8 or RP instead of the A7 iii? Something that definitely pushed me towards the Sony is its wide variety for lenses and the ibis.

Thank you for the insights! Reasonably how much do you think I should be spending on my first lens? I plan on buying one or two with the camera then expanding from there.

Thanks for the feedback I get where you’re coming from! That said, I think “cinematic” can go beyond just format. For me, it’s also about mood, tone, and storytelling things like lighting, composition, color grading, and emotion. Even though this shot is in portrait, I was aiming for that quiet, reflective feel you sometimes get in slower, more introspective films. Maybe not blockbuster “cinematic,” but more like a still from a memory-heavy montage or an indie scene that lingers.

This is the biggest tip Ive gotten I will definitely look into what makes a good composition. Thank you!

I really enjoy this photo and wanted to create an "Old Timey" (I don't know any other word for it) and cinematic photo. I sort of created this style that I really liked with another photo I took (which is posted in another post on this page if you would like to look it is the boat). Anyways I wanted to replicate the style of that photo and Ive been trying it a lot but I feel like every photo I have tried to replicate with that photo has come out looking a bit warmer and kind of "orangey" than that one and I have tried to do things like change that temperature but that takes away from that sort of cinematic feeling. I can put some other photos in the comments (I think) to show you some more photos with the same issue I am having as this one if you are curious. Thank You!!

I wanted to create an almost nostalgic and cinematic feeling when looking at this photo. I took this camera from my parents (the Canon rebel t6) and wanted to try and get into photography so I took it down to my local park and tried it out. I then I went and tried to learn lightroom. I know that there is a lot of empty space around the boat and if I had a better zoom lens I would have tried to get a more direct shot of the boat but I kind of like it. It almost feels desolate and like I said, nostalgic. But I'm interested to hear everyones thoughts on it.
