    Thank you SO much for this. I was seriously thinking that my camera was probably outdated and considered trading it in for a bridge camera. I bought an A6000 a few years ago but for various reasons I haven’t been able to get out and use it much yet. It’s so nice to find someone in this country to follow rather than across the pond, good as they are it isn’t the same. I got the 2 kit lenses with it E3.5-5.6 16-50 and 4.5-6.3/55-210. I haven’t had much joy with them I’m sure that’s due to operator error rather than the equipment. I have purchased a couple of second hand lenses a Sony E 1.8/35 and really treated myself (I hope you agree) to a Sony E 4.5-6.3/70-350. I love wildlife photography but haven’t yet had much chance to use it. I did photography courses about 13 years ago so I really need to get out there and practice. I will definitely be watching more of your videos. Thanks again

    So I came across this video right at the time i decided to get into photgraphy. I had already previously thought of buying this camera and this video sold it for me. I would love to see a video on you showing us how to set this camera up for street photography, perhaps you could take it out and show how to shoot manual and ideas for framing our pictures and then subsequently a little showcase on using light room. I beleive for a lot of people that would be super helpful and interesting to watch also, I appreciate these lenses are quite good for this camera but id love to see this all done with the restriction of just using the kit lense :), otherwise I've really enjoying your channel.

    Without a doubt, just considering the idea of ​​starting out in photography leaves many questions, but although I am posting this comment before watching at least the entire video, I must say that it is very worth doing the homework, I mean studying, getting to know equipment before get them, see reviews, learn things related to photography and the use of the camera, in the end once the decision has been made you will know that it was the right thing to do, I am happy with what I bought, and I continue learning for what I will have later, while I take photographs with what I have and have fun.

    A5100. same 24.2MP sensor, touch-focus, great AF, easier on the battery.
    edit: when it comes to lenses maybe you choose the Sony 18-135mm lens which is AF, and some excellent manual lenses like the TTArtisan 10mm F2 and the 7Artisans 60mm F2.8 Macro. that covers pretty much everything and you learn how to orchestrate aperture and shutter speed. for the lowest price possible. another recommendation for portraits is the Brightin Star 35mm F0.95 for 150 bucks. yes, the manuals are that cheap now and are metal/glass builds with excellent coatings. sharpness, bokeh, aberrations, vignetting, flaring - you will be blown away at this price point.

    A6400 (used or grey market) + sigma 18-50 2.8. The A6400 for its sticky real time tracking and one lens is enough for a beginner. Later maybe buy the sigma 56mm or whatever prime lens focal length you prefer. You'll know more about what focal lengths you like after shooting for a while.

    oh yeah, i bought the a6000 2 years ago used for 300 bucks and paired it with the 50 1.8. since then i´ve upgrated to the tamron 17-70 2.8 and to me this is the perfect budget combination. yes the tamron is about 600 bucks but considering that its so many lenses packed into one its worth every penny! i´m into photography and videography and this is all i need. i dont even need 4k video because at 1080p the image quality of this camera is just good enough to work with. and even tho i wouldnt recommend it i´ve done photoshoots in heavy rain and the a6000 survived with no problems even tho its not weather resistant.

    Something to consider the battery life on the A6000 is horrendous. I bought mine in 2018, maybe it's improved since then. It'll chew threw a battery in 1-2hrs of use. I had 3 battery's for a day of travel photos. Also something with IBIS is actually a huge thing to consider. It's easier to get good shots when you start out if the there's less camera shake.
    Definitely get a good lens! The camera is super disappointing with the kit lens.... but the Sigmas lenses on it are taaasty, night and day difference.
    All in all a great starter body, but has its draw back quite quickly, if you think you'll use it better to get a slightly better model imo..... it's a better investment.

Main use arty self-photography and street :) considered Canon D5 mark ii first but mirrorless seems to be so far ahead :o

      I went on a cruise around Australia last year, a trip of a lifetime. Unfortunately, my wife and I had just moved and all but one camera was in a storage unit, at the very back and not reachable. The one I had was my A6000 and the two kit lenses. I ended up getting the 18-105mm to have a better quality lens to take. I was so very impressed with the photos that I took. The G lens was so much sharper than the kit lenses that I left it on the camera most of the time.

  • @paulm8157
    @paulm8157 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Much to chew on for folks starting out - shows what can be reasonable, so kudos for Curtis, the Accountant😊. A6000 a good choice but be wary of early copies that had lens mount light leak and hot shoe issues. A6300 a safer option and it had IBIS.
    Prime lenses have moving parts if they are auto-focus. A vintage manual prime adapted to e-mount would also work.
    Wasabi batteries a good value, in my experience.
    Camera bag - try modifying an army surplus gas mask bag (or such) and use cut up yoga mat for dividers.
    Getting near 50k subs😊. Cheers!

      Haha thanks Paul glad you enjoyed the accountants ideas 😆👌
      Somthing to be wary of for sure, however no such problem with the one I picked up. A6300 is a great option. However just out of budget range for this video.
      Correct primes do have mechanical moving parts for focus. I just meant not a zoom.
      Have a good weekend Paul! 😀

  • @David_Quinn_Photography
    @David_Quinn_Photography 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    great choice in camera 90% of the work is you and the lens the camera just focuses and writes essentially and after 18MP you are kind of getting past what the eye can distinguish. If you want to test the waters and tinker you can buy adaptors for other lens mounts for your body as well so I always recommend the A6000, depending on their subject a whole host of different lenses some expensive others could be 40+ years old and for a "camera" bag looks for bags that have nothing to do with camera I buy shoulder sling bags saves you money and doesn't advertise what you have.

    I am walk-around city, street-ish / travel type of pics.
    Perhaps how I think is not applicable to a budget beginner at all. Still, there were those who used to tell beginners to get an old film/SLR!
    If a the right new compelling Z body happens late this year or early 2025, I might trade in 2 Nikon DX cameras and lenses for it, and stick to only full frame. I have with a LOT of gear for 'hobbyist'.
    Traded away SONY APSC E and lenses, 3 weeks ago toward a Nikon Zf and lenses (and ZTF ii adapter) , as I have DSLRs and lenses, FX and DX and not interested in SONY FF a series.

I've left a link in description if you wanna check it out! I've also made dedicated videos on that 56mm it's the best out there. The Viltrox is good budget option but sigma is the best overall 56mm prime! Hope that helps 😁

      30mm I haven't tested out but have heard fantastic things. It's a tough one between those two if I'm honest. I'd say sigma 30mm. Sorry wasn't so helpful at the end, but hope the rest of that inform was useful! ✌️

    I want to get back into digital photography, I was heavy into photography, Im thinking of something like an eos2000d kit lens and a telephoto lens or something like the Panasonic FZ1000ii, Are those good choices? Last DSLR i had was the nikon D40, its been a while lol.

    In your opinion would it be worth getting the 6700 over the 6400 long term, if im planning to get into photography as a career? or would it be better to get 6400 or earlier, buy full frame lens and then get a fullframe more expensive camera in the future?

      sigma is a bit bulky. I bought Sony Zeiss 35mm 2.8 FE, same price. Very small, looks great, on aps-c its 52mm focal length. Also later u can buy a7c or any other Sony fullframe and use this 35mm there

  • @nicedward7544

    If strictly photography why not an older full frame? A7ii, og A7r, 5d, 5dii, etc. The newest AF is great but honestly bores me anymore. I use mostly manual glass nowadays for personal stuff. I'm glad i didn't have AF when i started out shooting. I loved the a6000 but i loved my original 5d and 5dii more... EF glass is dirt cheap now too. I've since switched to Sony but you can't beat the prices of older Canon ff ef mount stuff

    I messed up & got a Canon 80d & the Nifty 50 & a 18 & -135 , 3 months later I soldi it all at a loss & got Sony a6500 , Sony 50mm F1.8 & Sigma 30mmF1.4 & oh wow .... I went from out dated tech to Eye auto focus & superb quality lenses which were perfect for me to learn portrait & fashion photography , I don't have the a6500 , I switched it for the updated a6400 & still love em till this day.. I spent a little over a grand but with an a6000 or today a a6100 . you'll be.still kicking it in 2024 all for under a grand

  • @angelsjoker8190
    @angelsjoker8190 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Start with the a6000 and 18-50 Sigma, and wait before you buy any prime. Go out, take photos in a lot of situations for a while and then check your photos at what focal length you'd like to have that extra aperture most, and then buy a prime accordingly. 56mm is great for portraits, but if you are more a macro, wild life, or street photography, you may want to go for something else.

    What every beginner needs to know is you're buying into a lens system more than a camera body. Every manufacturer makes pretty similar bodies when their price points are similar but what lenses can you get for that body? Sony's advantage in recent years has been fantastic lens support for their cameras and allowing third party manufacturers to build for them as well.
