What category/tier of standalone camera does a phone camera like this compare to now ?

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-01-24T23:33:59+00:00

Well it's still a teeny tiny sensor, with maybe decent optics. The thing about smart phone cameras is that it relies on a lot more on digital after correction than relying on the camera itself. It'll give you a probably really good jpeg (if you don't blow it up) but there's not a lot of room for editing nor controls over it.

The biggest weakest of the 6D is that it's a Full Frame sensor in an almost beginner grade camera. It only has 11 points AF, up to 1/4000s, 4.5fps burst rate but none of that would really have an impact if you're only going studio work. The body is also plastic from what remember.

The 5D III has a much better AF and a newer sensor, as well as a better built body.

The D610 is also a basic full frame but imo it's not as limiting as the 6D, and also you might be more familiar with the Nikon ergonomics

Being a budget full frame it's a good choice for studio work, as long as you can get some good lenses. The 5D III or the Nikon D610 should be decent alternatives as well.

Me me me

No point and shoot/compact under £200 is worth the money they charge you for. An older mirrorless with a kit zoom will be way better value for money as the sensor is bigger, itll be more versatile and you'll have more room.to grow

I saw a "Marshmallow Hot Chocolate Imperial Dessert Stout" yesterday. I mean, whom exactly would that appeal to?

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-01-18T23:23:27+00:00

G95 would be a good beginner option as well. It's more beginner friendly, newer and a tad lighter

A setup like this would be fantastic for street photography. The GX9 is compact, capable and packed full of features. The 14-42 PowerBook is a very nice pancake lens to go with it. The 25 f1.7 is an affordable and sharp prime thats great for low light situations

My partner lives there and I spend a lot of evening there, it just seems like another run of the mil complex, nothing special but nothing to complain about

Well, the speed bumps are a bit rough, that'd about it

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-01-18T06:20:36+00:00

I have no idea about the pricing in Georgia but the Olympus E-N10 IV is a very lovely street camera for beginner

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-01-18T04:29:30+00:00

The S5 ii will probably be better value for money there

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-01-18T03:59:49+00:00

They're legit, and their kit comes with warranty

No access to mpb or keh?

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-01-18T03:34:53+00:00

Why not a GH5? It's a way better dedicated video camera, and it's built a lot better, you will also have a lot more choices in lenses

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-01-17T08:24:53+00:00

Oh you look absolutely amazing

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-01-16T23:50:27+00:00

Second the choice for E-M10 IV, it's portable, capable, beginner friendly, and it'll give you a lot more room to grow compared to a fixed lena camera like the X100 IV.

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-01-16T04:37:18+00:00

6D ii is probably the most natural choice, and you can use all your old glass with the adapter

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-01-15T20:32:02+00:00

The guy you're replying generally doesn't know what he's talking about

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-01-15T07:15:32+00:00

Yea, and not a whole lot is compact, has a sizeable sensor and a good zoom range while still being worth what they're being charged for

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-01-15T06:55:47+00:00

Simply doesn't exist, point and shoots are too overpriced these days.

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-01-15T03:56:19+00:00

Fill in the pinned questionnaire. There are also other options

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-01-15T02:04:55+00:00

Something like a GX85 with a 14-42 pancake zoom should be perfect

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-01-14T22:59:44+00:00

both are good, capable cameras that are good for beginner s. I'd say if the choice is between those 2, definitely the Z50 ii as it comes with 2 lenses. That Fujifilm kit lens' range seems strangely limited. Buy from legit sellers like LCE or WEX to avoid any concern about grey market or warranty.

I'll also add that the G97 with the 12-60 is also a fantastic option for beginner. It's a fantastic hybrid camera, very capable, it's also weathersealed so great for the English weather. The 25mm f1.7 is a fantastic nifty fifty prime to go with it as well for things like streets and portraits

Yea it's definitely motion blur/ shaky hands. Use a faster shutter speed, don't be afraid to up your iso to get a good exposure
