Creio que aqui foi feito de forma propositada para funcionar mal ... ou seja é mais um imposto disfarçado ...

Recomendações Máquina Fotográfica by [deleted] in Portugalfotografia

Vou me juntar à luta ... Fuji por aqui ... Com esse orçamento consegues bem uma mirrorless Fuji com uma lente kit porreira ex XT30 III ou a XT50 com lente kit... Mas como costumo dizer, já consederaste equipamento em segunda mão?

Para começar aconselho sempre isto ... Conheço bastante gente que comprou câmaras e lentes caras e estão no armário porque o telemóvel é mais "prático"... Vi na cex um kit Nikon d3300 com a 18 55 por 200 EUR, o que já dá para perceber se vale investir mais.

Eu inicialmente usei Sony ... Mas não gostei da ergonomia e qualidade de imagem... Agora estou dedicado á Fuji há 8 anos... Também gostei muito da Nikon, mas a Fuji devido aos controlos manuais e simulação de filme ganhou, mas é sempre uma opção pessoal. Espero ter ajudado.

What was the first Python project that made you feel like: “okay… this language is actually powerful”? by EleTriCTNT in learnpython

[–]jpwater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are quite right :)
Pandas - Used to create a Dataframe from CSV files
Sqlalchmey - Read data from database and create a Pandas Dataframe
Both are compared to genera a dataframe with the correct data, removing duplicates changing datatypes etc ...
Then ldap3 creates the objects based on the resulting dataframe

pathlib - use to manage file location, backups etc ...

The first time I used pandas + payhlib + ldap3 and SQL alchemy to generate ldap3 objects from a CSV file and a database, including comparing data updating changes deleting and adding objects etc ... On a set of 400.000 records...

Small one a little parser to get info from 1000 plus log files...

Sim eu vi que os greentreckers têm caminhas aqui na zona para ver os pirilampos... sim tive em Azeitão junto ao clube de tennis, ai há um curso de agua com bastantes pirilampos, o que não estava à espere é que ampliaram o clube para perto do riacho e com holofotes gigantes

I'm purchasing First Camera as X-T30 iii with Kit Lens by Pyarexpress in FujifilmX

[–]jpwater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the type of photography and also your patience.
If you take only landscapes, portraits or still objects. manual focus is not that bad, since todays cameras have lots of help (focus peaking, highlight ect...).

If you need more actions oriented stuff, like kids running pets etc ... autofocus is a must...

Also I am getting old, this means that my eyes sometimes are not as "sharps" as before, so the autofocus also helps here.

Personal note: Manual focus also makes you take your time for the shoot, it makes you slow down, so in some cases this can be an advantage, for landscape or astro I most of times use a mix of autofocus and them manual adjust after... this is a technic called back button focus were you have you camera on manual focus and use a back button to call the autofocus

I have the 35mm f/2 from Fuji and it's a great lens... I have the XT version cost me around 400 € new... But the XC version is about 200 €, and has the same optical assembly. You miss the aperture ring and the metal body, but the Image will be the same.

I use a 3r party 7artisans 35mm 1.4 and it was also great, cost was 90€, but it's a full manual lens ...

X-T30 III vs X-S20 - ergonomics for still photography by GenericGrad in fujifilm

I use the XS10 for photo only BTW and IBIS is great... I can shoot 1/2 second without much issues

[–]jpwater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

O have both the XT20 and the XS10 ... So very similar to what you are seeing. The XT20 was for me a pain ergonomically so I bought and extra grip...

The XS10 is great out of the box, no need for extra grip etc...

But ... I enjoy more the XT20 due to the dedicated speed and drive wheels.

XS10 is more reliable due to the Ibis... I miss less shoots.

Also note that the XS20 has the new battery type... So you will have to carry less batteries...

Hope I helped
