DSLR or ILC?

[Mustank]

i believe u should know the focal length are not the same.

u can also consider the 70-200mm F2.8 IS,this is also a very good lens second to the IS II.

can get it a slightly below $2k for 2nd hand.

 

yes. i saw some guys selling at around 1900 but i heard the f4 version is sharper than the old f2.8 and i am only needing that range in outdoors where there is sunlight (eg children outdoor activity like swiming)

 

wish i got marnie for 5dmk3

NEX sensor is definitely same as DSLR. In fact they are the same sensor as Nikon D7000.

 

what you saying about smaller than 1.6x crop sensor are those 4/3 cameras......

 

Not many people are as high class as you, bro. You can afford to use full frame.....

 

 

thanks everybody for clearing my doubts.

anyway,i started photography with a humble 1000D and until now i had changed my 3rd camera(not a full frame).

i had never used a full frame camera before.

are you talking about the F2.8 without IS?

i had rented the F2.8 IS and its pretty sharp.

the old rebel, hmmm... are you on the 60d now?

[Turbonetics]

Taken with 1000D and 70-200mm F2.8 IS in 2009.

 

 

Little girl

 

100% cropped

 

considering shooting with an entry level camera,i think the result is not too bad with this lens.

the only thing is that it doesn't control noise that well.

yes,the 5D3 will be much better in controlling noise.

 

*photos uploaded here is degraded,in actual file it is quite sharp.

not a 60D.

i had used 2 APS-C sensor and now iam using APS-H sensor.

Different generation DIGIC processor with different noise processing algorithm. Different sensor size with different pixel grain size. Definitely can't be compared with.

cool. very clear that you are very into photography. good for you.

exactly,will stick to my current Digic 4.

it still controls noise pretty well,though sometimes i hope it can do better.

I honestly wonder how different DIGIC V is compared to DIGIC IV. Separately, i wonder whether Canon ever toyed with the idea of implementing BMI onto their large sensors.

[Lala81]

and if you need beyond 110 mm?

 

wah seh u hard to please leh.

 

Walk to the bloody object lah! :D

[Lala81]

Canon got ILC?

 

Sorry, G1X.

Not really interchangeable. But Mirrorless.

I have been SLR all my life including flims. When i started to use X100, it give me a different perspective for photography. From now on, i think i will go prime lens as it is lighter & more about composition.

 

Prime lens are usually sharper,but not to my liking as its less versatile.

I have a 50mm f1.4 which I seldom use .

Some fast prime lens are actually quite heavy due to the aperture blade design.

That's why i like APS-C DSLR. The lens are smaller.

Can enthusiasts comment on BSI CMOS (Backside Illuminated CMOS) Sensors? I know how they work and the basic principle behind this relatively new innovation. My doubt stems from its perceived improvement to noise control at poor lighting which traditionally is a weak suite of small sensors. As some of you probably know, i am stubbornly intent on a bridge camera and as God will have it, i can't have a bridge camera with megazoom and a large sensor (at least APS-C). Most bridge cameras are stuck in the 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55 mm) and 1/2" (6.4 x 4.8 mm) sizing territory.

 

The ones i am looking at incorporates the various manufacturers' interpretation of BSI CMOS. The question is how much "improvement" can i expect out of BSI? Can I expect performance to be as good as say, 2/3" or God forbid, 4/3"?

 

Is it really impossible to find a megazoom fixed lens camera with a sensor larger than Micro Four Thirds?

Thanks for all the pointers.

For me, portability is important as I tend to shoot mostly when I go travelling. That was why i was attracted to ILC initially.

But now I notice that some DSLRs are relatively small as well and I do see a lot of people travelling with SLRs.

One question for those who have SLRs, which lenses do you bring with you when you travel?

 

 

Unless u are on an assignment or hv lots of time to interchange lens, if not a zoom lens that zoom from 24 to 120mm or higher (in 35mm or FX ) is good enough for most suitation.
