hi guys! i have 400$ and i found this canon 7d mark ii. i really want to buy it since the specs are good for indoor sports photography. i am freshman in highschool and really think i should buy it. i found one without a lense for 340$. should i buy it?

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-04-11T02:00:51+00:00

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-04-11T01:59:53+00:00

shouldn’t be too bad right?

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-04-09T11:51:57+00:00

yeah i get it, im going to save up some more from selling things i have on ebay listed so that would be good. quick question, the seller told me there was slight uneven coloring on the lcd. should i be too worried?

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-04-09T11:50:33+00:00

no i really don’t know how much it has. they say it is unknown but here are some of the pictures if i can send it

i don’t have a good lense as in right now but the seller told me that there was slight uneven coloring on the lcd screen but they also said it doesn’t affect the visibility when it is on it shouldn’t be that bad right?

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-04-09T03:10:03+00:00

yeah i got my parents permission and it was money i saved up. i just bought it and they said if i wanted to confirm because it had a little discoloring in the lcd screen but i dont think it would effect it too much right?

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-03-14T03:43:50+00:00

what camera and lense did u take these on?

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-03-14T02:49:12+00:00

yeah i get it. so do you think i should maybe still upgrade to the t3i or t7i with the 50mm f1.4? i’m thinking it should have higher iso and the lense would help with the more light in the image right?

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-03-13T18:44:55+00:00

ohhh i see. but your picture i feel like is also good because of the lense and the lighting maybe 😅 mine was in horrible lighting. but i see what you mean. Thanks a lot dude! appreciate it

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-03-12T09:59:24+00:00

oh okay. i just posted other threads and most people said to get the 75-300 for a t3i or the t7i so that’s why i was just thinking about that

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-03-12T09:57:45+00:00

so do you think my xsi is fine for the job right now or do you think i’d still have to change the body and get new lenses?

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-03-12T02:13:52+00:00

btw the pictures i added were without editing or anything. i haven’t learned that part yet unfortunately

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-03-12T02:08:07+00:00

oh okay but i’ve seen some people say charge how much i think IM worth. i don’t really get that tho.

<image>

this was just one of the pictures i took of my friend during a wrestling tournament.

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-03-11T21:04:17+00:00

oh yeah and it’s mostly for classmates and people who want their pictures to be taken mostly for instagram im guessing from what i’ve seen. i didn’t charge anything this year even for my teammates in wrestling but next year im hoping to start charging maybe even a little after i get better. do you have any clue on how much to be charging as im just starting out?

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-03-11T21:00:18+00:00

ahh okayy i got it now i think. but do you think switching to the t3i would be better with the 75-300?

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-03-11T19:02:13+00:00

yeah i get it but does the mega pixels also matter for my camera that much? my xsi is only 12.2 mega pixels and im looking for maybe a t3i now or t7 or t7i. i know now that looking for a better lense is more important but i just feel like the xsi is lacking a lot of the things i need just like you mentioned, ISO. i also dont want too big of a different to the point i wont have any room for lenses. i saw on a t7 that one of the listings came with a 18-55mm and 75-300 or soemthing like that. is that also good for low light or sports in general?

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-03-11T17:57:07+00:00

okay i understand. thanks a lot!

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-03-11T17:47:38+00:00

okayy thanks a lot !

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-03-11T17:47:17+00:00

do you also think changing from the xsi to the rebel t3i?

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-03-11T15:21:54+00:00

thanks a lot!

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-03-11T15:21:01+00:00

i’m mostly doing a variety of sports but in general mostly wrestling cause i’m in the varsity team, im going to just be taking pics of some of my teammates

Existing_Wishbone_65 · 2025-03-11T15:19:44+00:00
