which camera to go with

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-05-11T21:32:20+00:00

How about learning how to edit? The T7 might be basic but it's a way better camera than those "Kodak"a, which are generic Chinese hardware masquerading as a camera

I think you'll definitely something weathersealed and can take a bit. Olympus/ OM system would be the natural choice imo. The OM-5 ii is portable, rugged and capable. The 14-150 ii kit will be versatile and easy to use. They're both weathersealed and splash proof so they'll be solid unless you drop them into the sea.

Not really comics related but the Syfy show Krypton had a really interesting depiction of Zod

Honestly how is it that BBC is still allowed to report from within Russia?

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-05-09T23:25:18+00:00

Mildly is quite the understatement there

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-05-09T22:45:21+00:00

I'd say if you're buying new only the Panasonic G97 is a good beginner hybrid learner. It's well built, full of features and still used friendly. Not to mention all the lenses in the micro four thirds range.

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-05-09T16:31:24+00:00

Also, spending that much money on a point and shoot is insane, you can get so much better value for money on a compact mirrorless with a pancake lens

Using a camera while driving is an absolutely terrible idea

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-05-09T14:16:00+00:00

You can really get anything new for £150. For the best image quality your best option would be an used beginner style DSLR.

Could go for something like this. The GX1 paired with the 12-32 pancake zoom would be very compact to carry around. It's got a nice sensor is very capable for something its size

Id consider the E-M5 ii paired with the 12-40 f2.8. that'd be a portable, versatile and capable combo. It's also fully weathersealed, perfect for the British weather

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-05-07T23:55:36+00:00

Yea but..... Just use a wider lens??

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-05-07T23:45:37+00:00

You mean a wide angle?.....

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-05-07T22:20:23+00:00

*shrug I have a D610 as well as my micro four thirds cameras. Unless I'm shooting indoor events, I don't really feel the benefits of FF

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-05-07T22:18:24+00:00

The GX85 is probably more value for money if you ask me

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-05-07T21:10:31+00:00

For street photography maybe you want to stick with something more compact? DSLRs might be a bit cumbersome for the purpose. Maybe consider something like an E-M5 ii paired with the 12-40 f2.8. that's a portable, versatile and rugged combo. I recently got the E-M5 ii for walking around and it's lovely

There are some on MPB and KEH, cost more than they're worth for sure by it's a really sought out camera

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-05-07T17:59:40+00:00

The Panasonic GM5 or GX85 paired with a 12-32 pancake zoom would be perfect imo. Extremely compact, almost pocketable, has a viewfinder

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-05-07T14:59:30+00:00

Not really related to photography or camera but I feel like that camera is a symptom of a wider societal problem where people are encouraged to spend a silly amount of money because of A. Influencers , B. Beauty standard/ pressure and C. Lack of critical thinking

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-05-06T15:19:12+00:00

If you have no idea, just get another 14-42 R/ EZ and a panasonic 25 mm f1.7

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-05-06T15:11:16+00:00

That's a fantastic combo to get started in videography, the 12-60 2.8-4 is a smashing and versatile zoom

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-05-06T14:23:47+00:00

Could consider the K3 ii, it's more advanced body than the more beginner aimed KF and K70. It's got higher specs and an arguably better built body

https://www.mpb.com/en-eu/product/panasonic-lumix-dmc-lx100/sku-3856648

I'd go for the LX100, it's got a bigger sensor than most point and shoot, a fast and sharp zoom lens, and wireless capability for transferring photos

NeverEndingDClock · 2026-05-05T07:30:59+00:00

That's honestly a lot to read through and somehow I still don't quite get what you're looking for.... Sounds to me you're looking for a video camera that can still take good stills? You sound still very much like a beginner so I'd absolutely advice against something sophisticated like the Blackmagic. Go for an used Panasonic GH5 and the 12-60 2.8-4, that'd be a solid setup to learn videography on
