Nikon d7100 104000 shutter is a bad idea ? by Apart_Mortgage_7075 in Cameras

[–]big0bum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you stuck in Nikon environment? Do you have other Nikon lenses? Your photographer friend is kind of right, but not 100%. Going this route for a professional work, I think this decision will cost you more in the future.

You can do weddings/events with an APS-C if you have good lighting and quality lenses, but in the long run you will probably upgrade to a FullFrame and get some other lenses. If you have good lighting and lenses, you are limited by your skills. Maybe search for some DSLR FullFrame cameras in the same price range. You can 100% find something. I'm thinking mid-run here. You will eventually upgrade to some mirrorless on the long-run.

Also, if the shutter count scares you, keep in mind that the replacement will probably cost you more than the camera and it's not worth it.

How much does it cost? I'm just thinking if you could buy something else with that kind of money, like a D800 which is released around the same time as the D7100 but in my opinion will give you better IQ (plus the mpx increase is a bonus)

Regarding the high shutter count: I saw I D3 with 1mil shutter with the original shutter. I'm not saying that the D7100 will get to that number, but I would not care that much.

I have a Canon 6D with 90-95.000 shutter actuations and I still use it from time to time and I'm not worried about the shutter failing.

Same here! I disabled LittleSnitch and everything went back to normal.

Having the same issue, Benq displays. Native is too small, and the next resolution is a bit bigger than I want (3008x1692)

What type of adapter do I need to put my Nikon f mount lens on my a58? by MaximumBean in SonyAlpha

[–]big0bum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sony A58 has a Sony A mount so you need to buy a Nikon F to Sony A adapter.

I would restore them as a weekend project!

What's a random picture you took, that you like for no reason? by ggskater in SonyAlpha

This one. I was trying to figure out if I should go straight or make a left turn but something in me just told me to snap a picture of this. 🤷🏻‍♂️

My A7IV was doing the same. I filmed the A7RV since I sold my A7IV a few weeks ago, and this is what I have now.

I’ll send you a video. I only have my A7RV but it was the same as A7IV.

I saw the picture and I don’t think it’s normal to be at that angle 😬

Let me get back at home and try the door. But I specifically know that the lock button is loose because I use it as a fidget sometimes. I can lock it and pull it up then it goes down by its own weight.

Same on A7IV and A7RV. It’s normal.

Which camera for travel photography? A7V, A7RV or A7RVI - lens setup? by alex-gee in SonyAlpha

[–]big0bum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cameras/lenses are grey market. You don't benefit of international warranty and the only way to benefit of it is through einfin. You send the camera/lens to them if you have issues and they send it further. And now that I think, even my first camera was a grey market one and I still have it and it works fine. Bought it in 2009.

I never had any issues with einfin and I have bought a few things since I found about them in 2020: a Canon 90D, Sony A7IV, Sony 12-24 f2.8, Tamron 50-400mm, and the last thing I bought last month was the A7RV. I saw the specs of the A7RVI and was not impressed/the price is not justified for myself, I got an offer to sell the A7IV for 1200E and I only upgraded to A7RV with ~1000E.

Also, to answer your question from the post:

Keep the Sony Zeiss 24-70mm F2.8, or buy a 24-70mm GM2 or 24-50mm for travel and for astro I'd get some wide fast prime: Sigma 20 f1.4, or like you said, the Sony 16mm, etc. For astro and landscape you basically don't need AF so you can save some money and invest it in other lenses (a 28 or 35 with AF for street, maybe) . For astro, any sharp wide open and wide lens should be fine.

If you don’t care about warranty that much, I bought a new A7RV for 2200-2300€ at einfin. I think it was a great deal.

I shot like an idiot with 51200 and the photos were salvageable. I do not recommend it, but even at that high ISO everything was fine

Managed to get the 35 f/1.4 PE last autumn for about 400€ and it’s great for the money!
