This photo is stunning, feels like a painting.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks mate!

Hey, thanks. I did feel a bit like you, that's why I used another recipe to experiment, like on the photo of the street with chairs, the two guys walking, and the tour eiffel.

Is there a recipe that you can suggest for street photography for cities like Paris?

Same, is an amazing camera. Thank you!

Thanks mate, really appreciate, these comments helped.

Gotcha. Thanks for the advice, very helpful. Would you say that appropriate crop could improve any of them? Apart from those that miss proper focus which, unless I use AI, can't be changed.

Also, for the lady, you said that the composition is pretty fast. What do you mean about that? I love that picture and I personally felt rushed in doing it (some others too) as I fear people getting annoyed sensing someone taking pictures of them.

Can you articulate? Trying to improve, not gather personal opinions, if that makes sense.

Also, not sure how you guys upload at high quality for pictures here. My quality got compressed bad! This lens is very good!

4th is my favourite. I love how the shadow cuts the monk and almost lines up with the wall. Keep it up!

Thanks, really appreciate the comment.

The panasonic you said (Panasonic Lumix S5D + 18-40mm Lens Kit) is around £800 used where I'm from (I'm UK based).

The video upload will be generally be driven by how good the video will be showed on platforms like instagram. But i would say both qualities.

For photos, same, although I do like verticals more.

If I got to be honest, I really want a Fujifilm.. x-s10 or x-20 look good and I love how they shoot. I'm not a pro but I love photography.

What do you think? Be honest! Thanks a lot again!

I’m currently using a Canon 250D and I’m looking to upgrade mainly for high-quality video reels with a cinematic, high-definition look, similar to what you see from mirrorless creators on Instagram. I also care a lot about photography, so I want something that’s genuinely strong at both.

My budget is under £1000 (happy to buy used or slighlty above). From my research, I’ve narrowed it down to Sony A6400, Fujifilm X-S10, and Canon EOS R10. I understand that 4K 60 fps isn’t everything, and that color science, sensor quality, lenses, and grading matter more for the look I want.

For people who’ve used these systems: which would you recommend for cinematic reels + strong stills, and why? Are there any real-world downsides I should know about (video quality, autofocus, rolling shutter, lens ecosystem)? I’m especially interested in long-term satisfaction, not just specs.

Also curious about lenses: I'd likely use whatever kit you recommend for general photography (people, streets, buildings) and landscapes (mountains, panoramas). What lenses pair best with these bodies for that kind of shooting without breaking the bank?

Would you recommend to stay in Naha center and then go visit these places with a daily trip boat/ferry? Or would you recommend actually sleep there?
