(Buying Used) A7R III vs A9 I vs A7 III and lenses? Looking for a camera for both video and photography. I am going to buy used off of MPB probably.

FF sensors and MP’s? I need someone to explain this to me. Are we talking density here with similar sensors?

FF sensors and MP’s? I need someone to explain this to me. Are we talking density here with similar sensors? For instance: Sony a7c2 is a full frame mirrorless sensor with 33MP. And the Sony A7Rv is a full frame mirrorless sensor with 61MP. So, if I were to compare images from these two cameras. The SIZE (i know that’s a loaded word, but general terms here) of each image would be the same since they are both Full Frame sensors, but the pixel density w…

Beginner friendly cameras? I’ve never owned a camera before so I’m looking for the best bang for my buck lol. I like a film look but I also want the option to have other kinds of photography styles (so no film camera lol). I’d also be willing to buy secondhand from anyone that has something to offer; I don’t have the money to spend a lot on a camera so pls nothing too exp…

Trying to get back into photography – lens and resource recommendations? Ok, I’ve dabbled with photography for a LONG TIME. I’ve taken a few quick start classes… but they were so long ago I don’t remember much from them. I remember bits and pieces about composure, lighting, etc… What I’d really like to do as I am starting to read and try to re-learn things is to take three types of pictures… wildlife, landscape, and…

I’m doing my first event photography gig at a ren faire. Any tips? I’m still relatively new to photography and have never been hired as a photographer for an event or really anything else. It’s all just been a hobby up until the other day when a small ren faire I was going to asked for volunteer photographers. Immediately I messaged them to see what the details were. It’s seems simple, but I keep overthinking i…

best camera bag? I like shooting film alongside digital, so I’m looking for something that has the capacity to carry two camera bodies, plus 2 or 3 lenses. Ideally I’d like to have easy access to everything, so a backpack isn’t really what I’m looking for. I’m thinking some kind of cross body that I would normally wear on my back but can easily flip to the front…

Definitive source on United State law photographing ON train tracks? I was told by another photographer that it is illegal to take photos ON train tracks. Plenty of photographers do I’m sure. I live in Mississippi and the only thing I found was it being illegal to transport vehicles and such on tracks or enter or exit moving vehicles on the tracks. I think railroad tracks belong to the parent company but if it’s …

How to zoom on a canon 6D? It sounds ridiculous I know. But there is no zoom buttons, no zoom settings and the only twisty thing I have on my lens is for the focus. I’m lost for words. Can you really not simply zoom in or have they way over complicated it? MK1 btw. submitted by /u/k10001k
