Greetings,

 

My first post on getdpi.

 

I am looking for the optimum choice for a second hand purchase with these needs:

 

I need to shoot from very freely without looking at screen or in viewfinder - 100% experience and intuition when it comes to framing. And I need to work with at least one speedlight hand held detached from camera. Mainly used 17-40mm before, and the range suites my purpose.

 

I have used Canon so far, but am looking for face detection and eye AF. In the combination 'best working for the least money' pro use semi rough - and without knowing anything at all - I think Sony is the brand to look at? 

 

Really looking forward to read your input on this matter, since I am completely in the wild. 

 

Best, Jesper

 

(If at the same time this camera could be my new over-coat for bringing everywhere it would be a dream come true - but not a must in this search)

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.

      Sony a6300 after shutter repair

      By dev001 · Posted

      Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
