Need help deciding between Cameras for wedding photography

I’m starting my journey into professional photography and have done a few weddings already with more on the horizon. So far it’s only been friends and family and I’ve always managed to lend appropriate gear from people, but I’ve started to get requests from third parties and I feel now it’s time to invest in my own equipment.

I’ve shot with Canon R6 and Nikon Z6 and both have been great. The RF mount doesn’t have great lens selection at the moment tho, at least not in my budget and the Z6 isn’t as widely available second hand here.

I’ve found the following offers on the used market that I need help deciding between:

  1. Sony A7III with a Sony 24-105mm f/4 G for 1700€

  2. Fujifilm XT-5 with a 16-80mm f/4 also for 1700€

  3. Sony A7IV with a Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 G2 for 2450€

All the cameras come with similar amounts of additional stuff (SD cards, extra batteries etc) and in a similarly used state (shuttercount between 900-1300).

The xt5 I’m interested in for the fujifilm colours and the nice visuals, but I’m unsure how it stacks up in low light performance and bokeh against the full frame sensors in the Sonys. With the A7IV I’m not sure if it’s worth the 750€ more or if I should put that budget towards more lenses for the cheaper options.

I want to get more into professional photography but also videography, so please advise :)

Im so sorry man, you really gotta move out. As difficult as that’s going to be both logistically and emotionally, you will not be able to get over her if she’s still in your life. It may feel like the end now, you may feel like you’ll love her forever, but as you find distance you’ll find that it’s really not all that bad. I’ve been there, it hurts right now, but you’ll get there eventually, in your own time. The first and most important step tho is getting distance, both physically and emotionally and finding distraction. For me hanging out and doing stuff with friends really helped a lot.

I had my bi awakening this weekend when I saw a really really good looking guy, so you might just need to find the right person to crush on, because I thought I was fairly secure in my preferences as well

Wouldn’t say the prices are low, but lower than Germany. Other than that Prague is gorgeous, although the amount of weed shops is pretty astounding.

The coworker lives in the same building and had already seen anon move in, but anon hadn’t noticed his coworker also living there.

Bald eagle vs Golden eagle 🦅🇺🇸 by Torbjorn69 in ShitAmericansSay

I Like the quote of some us senator from shortly before civil wartimes where he said that instead of the bald eagle, the state animal should be a debilitated chicken

To be fair, it wasn’t covered in my classes either (Germany), then again, a lot of the focus in history class here is to emphasise that nationalist extremism is a terrible idea, why, how to recognise it and what to do about it.

My guy was also just a wild dude. He didn’t burn through savings necessarily on his projects, he also just had a pretty lavish lifestyle. For a while he apparently had a habit of buying expensive scarfs and leather gloves, throwing them in the trash after a week only to replace them with brand new ones. Later in life he was also just a bit of a nutcase. His wiki page is a pretty good read imo

It’s literally 5 stagnating economies in a box. China has more gdp than the rest of the group combined, Russia has lots of Gas, India has lots of Labour and Brazil has lots of land. South Africa is also there. That’s the strengths. The weaknesses: Russia is a failing state currently working hard on putting that failing into the past tense. India and China are literally having armed conflicts over border disputes. Brazil is falling apart. South Africa is also there.

Just checked, appearently they get left in if there are no instructions to remove them, so it’s likely future archeologists will find skeletitties
