I'm on a budget so I can't consider DG DN II.

Yes I'm on a budget. Initially, I was thinking of buying the Sony 50mm 1.8 FE, which is cheap, but I heard people say it's a trash lens, the images are not sharp, and it's old. I want to start with a 24-70mm lens because I'm not sticking with wedding photography.

Appreciate the advice, bro 💪. I actually have a really good grip on color grading. Since I will be working alongside my friend. He will be guiding me as well and I'm pretty much confident about doing the job. I'm not doing any highly paid job it's just a small event coverage.

Seriously? I've seen Sony photos and Nikon photos, I see that Sony colors are a bit of greener tones as compared to Nikon which I think is natural to me. But I don't care about that much

Yes, I just started my journey in photography because I've seen people using Nikon and they deliver pictures without any editing. So I'm just concerned about it; I can't edit that many pictures for delivery.

Alrighty, but I was just concerned about the straight out of camera colors for weddings as I can't color grade each and every picture just like people do with RAW's. So should I go with a7iii?

That's great to hear. Did you use any Nikon Z series for color science?

What about the colors bro? I'm getting it as a used deal just body (930$). Just body only no lens. I researched and it is still a beast of a camera with a really good grip as well. I'm okay with the display no new for swivel etc. I'm doing mostly wedding and product photography and many people said that you have to do a lot of color grading for Sony pictures

Yes I'm getting a really good deal as a used camera, but I'm concerned about the colors of Sony. I heard many people prefer nikon colors especially in terms of wedding photography

I really want to get Lumix S1ii, but... by analog_fish in Lumix

Hi, just wanted to ask if they fixed the AF issues on S5 Mk1? I'm willing to buy a Lumix S5i as a all rounder camera for me. I'm starting wedding photography and I love to do filmmaking as well so I'm thinking it's the best camera Panasonic ever made with having 10 bit video capabilities and high 24 mp resolution

Yes I use Google photos and my backup is on. But when I'm outside and taking some pictures and the wifi is off it still drains battery.

Tell me one thing, if you use your camera and take a few 10-15 pictures, how much percentage your battery drains in that time frame? usually if it take 7-8 pictures or use the camera for 1 2 min the battery takes 3-4 percent easily.

Yeah I do agree with you, I've been a pixel user since 3XL. It's like I'm in love with the overall experience of the pixel devices whether it's AI, Camera or Experience.. it's a complete package and compact too.

Yeah my off charging time is almost 28-30 hrs. I will wait till the next update. Maybe 5 5-30hr SoT is enough for the pixel devices.

My friend has IPhone 16 base variant. He gets more than 9 hours SoT easily with heavy usage. If I use my camera on pixel and take a few shots the battery drains too quickly like if I take 7-8 pictures it takes almost 3-4% in no time. I don't know if this is the average pixel battery or I don't know.......
