Camera Suggestions?
Ok;

so the wife and I are in the market for a camera. We previously had a Sony digital camera for about 10 years but the wife dropped it and now it won't hold any settings etc.

So, it's time for another one. I'm by no means a professional photographer; but I also don't want some little $100 POS either. I'd like to have one that I could 'grow' into if I wanted to so to speak.

I think My budget is about $400-$600. I was looking at the Nikon D3200 DSLR....though, admittedly, I'm not 100% what "DSLR" is.
I like the design of it; I've held a few like it and they're much easier to hold IMO.

Suggestions?

Do you have any real clear shots from the Sigma at f/2.8? Can you post a couple?

I did some WSOP work a few weeks back and I really could have used the Tamron 70-200. Looks to be a pretty sturdy beast. I was considering Canon 70-200 f4, just for the weather sealing. Shooting 7D and only third party, can't afford L.

I don't know if it matters but I work for Olympus. They have some really good Black Friday deals. I have the E-PM2 but I would love the OMD-E-M5. I really like my Pen camera as it's more than just a point and click but not full on professional OMD series.

  • Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L
  • Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L USM (old version)

Anyone shot with any of these?
I shoot the Sigma 80-200 2.8 a LOT, and I love it.

You might find it interesting to kick Mrs. FMB off the computer and hang here for a spell if you haven't already...

OK, so I'm trying to decide between two lenses. This will be the lens I want to keep on my 50D most of the time.

Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM
-or-
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II

Right now I keep the kit lens that came with my 20D on most of the time - 18-55m f/who-knows-what.

I've never used the 24, but the Thrifty Fifty is a nice prime. If you've got the cash, build quality and f on the 1.4 are better than the 1.8.

Solid advice....

Prime 50s are the foundation of modern photograph..

So just general opinions...

Here's what's in my bag:

Canon 6D
Canon 50mm f/1.4
Canon 28-70mm f/2.8L
Tokina AT-X 16-28mm f/2.8 Pro FX
Canon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 (shitty, shitty lens; never use it, gonna sell it for a bag of Cheetos)
Canon 35-80mm f/4.0-5.6 (crappy, old kit lens; gonna sell it for a Diet Mt. Dew to go with the Cheetos)
Set of Xit XTETC AF macro extension tubes

I'm looking at getting a 70-200, but having trouble deciding...

To replace 70-300: Canon 70-200mm f/4L USM ($709)
or Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS USM ($1299)
or Canon 70-200 f/2.8L USM ($1449)
or Tamron 70-200MM F/2.8 DI VC USD ($1499)

I shoot mostly portrait, wildlife, and macro, and with full frame camera, I find most of my portraits need to be f/4 or higher anyway to get enough of the face in sharp focus.

I dig Tamron. I keep the 17-50 VC on my 7D and it is soft in the corners for still photos, but very good for video, which is what I use it for.

Does anyone know a youngster interested in learning more about photography? I have an older model Digital Rebel XT (8MP) I'd be willing to donate. It's got a kit lens, batteries, charger, and a vertical grip. It's not awesome, but it would be a good starter rig for someone new to non-point-and-shoot photography.

I don't have a need FMB, but that's awesome for you to offer it to folks.

That being said, the Nikon that sends directly to the phone is cool...

I just picked up the Sigma 150-600mm Sports lens it is so badass its crazy. I could read a name on a gravestone at a mile.
