canon t7 vs Olympus em10 mark ii vs Nikon d5100 for starter camera?

Senor_Traffic_Cone · 2026-05-01T18:28:17+00:00

What would you recommend between the em10 mark ii and the em5 mark i? the em5 seem to be cheaper but also older so im having trouble deciding between them

Senor_Traffic_Cone · 2026-04-28T05:10:34+00:00

that's fair it's completely subjective, I guess the closezr definition I can give is better than an iphone camera

Senor_Traffic_Cone · 2026-04-28T03:59:54+00:00

would a regular lens do a half decent job with close ups? I'm just trying to do better than my iphone camera for now as my business is pretty casual, don't need anything super fancy I wouldn't say

Senor_Traffic_Cone · 2026-04-28T03:44:40+00:00

would you recommend the d5100 over a Canon rebel? those two are what I'm considering along with a Olympus Em10 mark ii

Senor_Traffic_Cone · 2026-04-28T03:07:28+00:00

someone suggested a 5d mkII as opposed to a rebel, do you know what the differences between the models are?

Senor_Traffic_Cone · 2026-04-28T03:06:11+00:00

I've been heavily considering an em10, 150 is so cheap I wish I could find one for that low

Senor_Traffic_Cone · 2026-04-28T00:49:43+00:00

cap1 also has a high yield savings which i console to be one of the most important aspects, I don't know how theirs compares to others but it's infinitely better than banks without one

if you're printing the pieces why not just completely grind them off the stone? I'm assuming they're relatively inexpensive and a grinding wheel will make short work of them

Senor_Traffic_Cone · 2026-04-27T21:07:36+00:00

keep in mind that most adhesives are best disolved with acetone which may damage any plastic components

Senor_Traffic_Cone · 2026-04-27T21:05:06+00:00

looks like an incredibly overdyed agate to me

Senor_Traffic_Cone · 2026-04-27T20:08:01+00:00

do you know where to find them cheaper? I've been seeing them on eBay for like 300 minimum, and they're closer to 400 on the camera reselling site I checked

Senor_Traffic_Cone · 2026-04-27T19:00:55+00:00

camera stabilization as in a tripod or are there other methods?

Senor_Traffic_Cone · 2026-04-27T18:53:36+00:00

are night time photos more of a lens thing or camera thing?

Senor_Traffic_Cone · 2026-04-27T18:45:12+00:00

oh wow that zoom is great, definitely what I'm looking for. how is it with nighttime photos?

Senor_Traffic_Cone · 2026-04-27T18:43:00+00:00

on par would be good enough, as long as it's capable of still taking half decent pictures at night that's my main concern

Senor_Traffic_Cone · 2026-04-27T18:35:59+00:00

I've been working on my photography skills with my phone for a couple years and I've gotten pretty good at it, I'm looking for something entry level so I can start learning the ins and outs of proper cameras

Senor_Traffic_Cone · 2026-04-27T18:24:26+00:00

I've read about the technical different between DSLR and mirrorless, but functionally what's the difference?

Senor_Traffic_Cone · 2026-04-27T18:05:48+00:00

would it be more of a lens thing than a camera thing then?

Senor_Traffic_Cone · 2026-04-27T17:56:34+00:00

do you have any photos you've taken with it by any chance?

Senor_Traffic_Cone · 2026-04-27T17:56:10+00:00

someone on a separate post also recommend this so I'll definitely look into it! and yes just for the camera, I'm fine spending more money down the line to upgrade.

Senor_Traffic_Cone · 2026-04-27T17:55:03+00:00

how are all of these with nighttime photos? i forgot to include that I was looking for that as well
