Think got wrong person oops
 
What Rizvan Flickr as it ain't showing on app
 
Anyway girls i have a dilemma, Dads 83 and struggles to walk far now so Wifes agreed to come with me, ive said i,ll buy her a camera but I'm unsure what. My initial idea was another FZ1000 but then i thought what about Canon, as i have canon glass for the A7Rii.. but I'm a bit in Limbo, don't get me wrong i think Canon are ok but nothing magical, 6D is old 5D is old 7dii is kinda nice but APS-C, and then we have Nikon id Like the D500.... but D7200 kinda ticks the box..

Anyone wanna throw in the mix others. Ive thought about Olympus EM1 again but there new un will be out soon, Fuji maybe but expensive ish, 7dII seems like best bet but help me..

Don't mention the N word
 
Brand new Canon 5dIII and 24-105 on fleabay 1299 if anyone needs one....
 
I'd buy it but I know soon as I do canon will announce mk4 good price though....
 
Going to Yorkshire Wildlife Park next week all being well. Am hoping the 70-200 be ok with some cropping
 
It's not bad there you'll need the polar bears close to get a good one, but rest will be fine.....

Long time Canon user though I was I wouldn't recommend them to anyone just buying now as they seem to be behind the cutting edge these days and Nikon's are better... they're fab :D (I did use Nikon for longer than Canon but that was in the film days.)

I think Canon only makes sense now if you have existing lenses or want to use a specialist item not available in Nikon land. As you have the lenses why not just go either Sony or Canon for the Mrs?

How about just ask your wife which camera she likes? :0)

Nissin i40 as a compact on-camera flash

Nissin Di700a with Air Commander & PS8 external power packs for off-camera

:)
 
Just buy the camera you want then ask her to borrow it for a bit .... the wife has an a7sii lol ;-)
 
I see that having partners who like photography has its advantages. My gf only takes pictures with her smartphone so what can I do to persuade her she needs a set of three or four voigtlander lenses?
 
@woof woof that is a tough one..... take her somewhere she loves and give her your camera for a bit lol???

So.... the Nikon D750 eh?... only joking!
Anyone considering ordering the 24-70 f2.8?

Though you no longer a Sony owner? Or am I mistaken.

I love to order one but not for that price lol

I'm not currently, no but never say never, want mirrorless and have my eye on Fuji but the A7ii is a very compelling option too.
 
I've had Fuji xt1 only lasted 4 days it went back though it was poor well to me anyway. The Sony is much better. But people are getting great shots with the Fuji

As we're only also mentioning Sony's :D

To me the big draw with the Fuji's is the manual dials but for a mostly (almost exclusively) prime user like me the Fuji is the size of an A7 so why not have the A7? Ah... those manual dials... The lack of raw at high ISO's would bug me but I don't know if that's fixed with the new 2 thing.

Oh well, I keep looking at the Fuji's and the Sony A6000 series too but I can't see either displacing my A7 and despite my gripes with MFT I think that's relatively safe too. Fuji has those dials though :D

Perhaps some Nikon talk should be allowed otherwise we wont know which model to use to prop the door open.
