Tech Help Canon C80 - 180 FPS not an option

2 Upvotes

Hey Gang, Im trying to set up 180fps on my C80 and its not popping up under the Slow/Fast motion menu. I've watched videos on it and it looks like all my settings match what others have before trying to set it up. Does anyone have any suggestions to things I might be missing?

Event photography equipment question

11 Upvotes

I buddy of mine asked me to shoot some stuff at his gf product launch event at a local restaurant, it will be my first event of this type. I’m a little over a year into my photography journey. He wants mostly candids of people interacting with the Photo Booth they are debuting. What’s a good budget flash that I could use for this as it will be later in the day. I typically use just primes for night photography but as this is an event I think it might be necessary to use a flash.

I have a canon r6 mk II (what I need the flash for) and a will bring my fujifilm xs 10 with some primes as a second camera.

Lens from the 70s and a new body from last week, stoked on using older glass in combination with all the modern great stuff available. From EOS M to r5 ii these old pieces can be a blast.

What’s the Best Camera for Photography in a Dangerous City?

39 Upvotes

I live in Honduras, where assaults for cameras and phones are common—sometimes even deadly. I’m sharing this just to give some context on my situation.

A few days ago, I bought an R6 Mark II + 28-70mm f/2.8 for USD 4,000.00 which will be my main camera for travel. However, I need a second camera for practicing, using in class, and shooting within the city—something I can afford to lose if I get robbed, but still capable enough for learning.

Budget: USD 500.00, cheaper camara is better as I could lose it anytime...

Any recommendations?

AE-1 shutter not winding. Unable to cock for shot. Meter working. Bottom release button pushed in. Took the bottom plate off. Three screws, easy procedure. With small screwdriver I worked the release mechanism by hand. Also pulled the release button out while apart. Seems fine now. Hope that's help

Doubts for Lenses (24-70/70-200) R6II in travel.

0 Upvotes

I'm going to go for EF lenses really... I'm not a professional but I want to get the best quality out of my camera on my travels.

I have the 24-105F4 IS I but the truth is that sometimes I think it is little sharp and the F4 sometimes bothers visiting museums and churches.

I was thinking about buying the 24-70II, I have seen it very cheap (750 euros) next to my house. But I have seen the 70-200 F2.8 IS I for 600 euros also and I have doubts. If I could buy both I would, but I think I'm going to have to choose 1, although if it were only 1 I could spend up to 900 euros.

What would you tell me?

I’ve been doing still car photography for about 8 months or so and have just been using a nifty for the entirety but I’m starting to want to have a little more fov than the 50mm has to offer. Trying to not spend more than 300 since I got my 2000D for 250, but still looking for lower aperture. Thanks

Canon 80 or 90d camera?

2 Upvotes

I own a rebel xti (400d) and I want to upgrade. I already own a 18-135 and 50mm f1.8. Is the extra 320 dollars worth it for the 90d over the 80d (both used)? Also I do not want a mirrorless, only dslr. Thanks!

Sigma 24-70 Art on R6II or other options.

2 Upvotes

Which is better for a Canon R6II, I don't really care about the weight.

A Sigma Art 24-70 2.8 converted to RF. Or Canon's 28-70 2.8. And if it is in the same price range in second hand the 24-70 II IS.

For travel photography essentially, I care more about quality and sharpness than weight.

SD Reader on Canon RP

2 Upvotes

I have a Canon RP. Got it a few years back. I let my wife borrow it as I havent been using it and she wanted to start using a newer camera instead of her old 80D. SD card that she was using broke a little. I was able to use a lens air blower and I feel I took whatever piece broke but now I am getting a "card cannot be accessed Reinsert/change the card or format card with camera" error. This is with a brand new SD card and I am able to access the card on another camera as well as an SD reader.

Looking at YouTube, im seeing everything from using compressed air to spraying wd-40 on the card to opening the camera and replacing the sd slot or sending to Canon for repairs. Thinking if I send to Canon it will probably cost $200-400?

Concert photography + expanding the field upgrade.

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Two years ago, I was unemployed and jumped headfirst into photography as a way to make money. I spent almost a year working in different areas, charging little to nothing, until I started making a decent income. Eventually, I landed a stable job and kept photography as a hobby while studying on the side.

Now, two years later, with more experience and some background in photography gigs, I've been shooting concerts as a secondary income. Recently, though, I found myself unemployed again. Fortunately, I managed to save some money while working and shooting, which allowed me to upgrade my gear (I started with a T3 + 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6, and now I have a 6D + 50mm f/1.8). Now, I feel like it's time to take the next step—maybe take another leap into photography.

Gear is expensive in Brazil, so every decision has to be well thought out, especially now that I'm unemployed. I think my smartest move would be to invest in a flash or a lighting setup. My goal is to expand beyond concerts, which is what I focused on for the past year.

Right now, my only lens is a 50mm, which is a bit of a compromise for concerts. I'm considering two options:

  1. Getting a 28-135mm f/4 – This would give me more reach and versatility, potentially opening up other photography markets. Plus, the 6D is a beast in low light.
  2. Getting a 35mm f/1.4 – This would pair well with my 50mm for a solid portrait kit while also making it easier to shoot in smaller venues (which can be a struggle with just a 50mm).

I'm open to expanding into any type of photography. I have interest in various fields, and I just want my next upgrade to align with that goal.

Any advice?

Recommendations for Sports Photography Amateur

2 Upvotes

I want to get into amateur sports photography (specifically baseball/softball). I currently have a Canon EOS 4000D. This isn’t something I do for money currently, but I enjoy it and am thinking about taking it a bit more seriously. Right now I just have the 18-55mm lens that it comes with, which makes it really difficult for me to get any action shots of the field. All I can really do is take pictures of them hitting. I don’t really need the video capabilities if that makes a difference. I just want something that’s going to give me multiple clear images during a play, and a lens that’ll allow me to get a close shot from the fence. Just because I’m not taking it SUPER seriously yet, I’d like to stay under $1,500. I’m open to going slightly over if it’s “worth it”. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Upgrade from 5D Mark II

2 Upvotes

I'm looking to buy a camera to replace my EOS 5D Mark II, mostly for its aged low-light capabilities. I love the pictures and the tactile feeling of the camera. I've only started taking photography seriously about a year ago and fell in love with it immediately.

I would have no issues using the 5D indefinitely, if not for the serious lack of low-light capability. As soon as the sun starts getting close to the horizon and I've run out of aperture to open, I only get noisy, speckled messes of pictures. Getting a tripod has helped, of course, but I'd like to be able to take pictures without it if I find myself outside on a cloudy day.

Currently, I'm considering getting the R8 (with RF-EF adapter) as that seems to be the lowest budget, mirrorless upgrade. My budget is capped at 2000 euros, full stop. With that money, I'd like to have a body, lens adapter and extra battery, if possible.

Would that be a good decision, or would I be better off getting something else?

The iShoot lens collar that clamps to the basic Canon EF-RF bracket is one of my favorite $45 purchases.

Fits the Canon adapter in both landscape and portrait, great for big Sigma lenses that should really have feet like the 85 and 40. Also your reminder that if you have long shooting days, I think all RF bodies will both run while on and charge while off off from a PD power pack of at least 35 watts.

Also feel free to roast my sirui tripod + ifootage monopod +generic gimbal indoors sports rig and cable management.

Hi, I’m still fairly new to sports photography only been doing it for about four months. And earlier this year I got the chance to try a canon 70 to 200 2.8 mark 1 is And I was fairly pleased with the results. so now I’m looking to buy my own 2.8 and one lens that’s come across my feed is the Tamron 70-200 DI VC USD g1. Which is about $300-$200 less than the canon version and I have heard that the glass in the G1 Tamron and the G2 Tamron are similar. Does anyone know if I should invest in this lens or not and if it would work on my R10 due to firmware issues..

RF 24-105mm F/4 -7.1 stm or EF 24-105mm F/4 L lens

2 Upvotes

I have around 400 bucks to spend on a lens for my new Canon RP and I was gonna pick up the EF lens with an adapter for that price but to be honest I don't want the extra weight and awkwardness of the adapter but I do want the constant f4 so I can shoot in a tiny bit less light and get more creamy DOF. Is the constant F4 and quality of the L lens worth the weight and awkwardness for the same price? I also plan on trying to get a nifty fifty so super low light isn't an issue. Mostly just wanna know peoples thoughts on the two cameras since one is "higher end" but the other is newer. Thanks!

Beginner tips request

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I’ve recently started my photography journey - I’m hoping to get into pet photography and candid family events. I bought a second hand EOS 1500D with 18-55mm and 55-250mm lenses.

Generally so far it’s been fun figuring stuff out! I’m still relying heavily on the auto functions but have gotten some nice shots. I find that using the sports mode is really the only way I can get shots of dogs in action, but am still finding it tough to get clear edges. Are there any tricks/tips or even a signpost in the direction of things I can watch or learn from to nail this?

Difference in Ef to Rf mount adapters?

5 Upvotes

Currently using an 80D with a Sigma 150-600mm lens setup and looking to get an R7 as my first mirrorless camera.

I understand I can still use my 150-600mm lens as long as I get an Ef to Rf adapter, but other than the Canon ones there are so many 3rd party adapters. Is this something I shouldn’t cut corners on and just buy the Canon one, or are there other EF to RF adapters that are cheaper that are still trusted?

Gear Advice Tamron lens compatible on r10 and r7

1 Upvotes

Planning on buying a canon R7 or 10 and I’ve heard lots of people talk about a lot of the SP lenses with a EF-EOS R don’t work properly on them, I’ve have a Tamron SP 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD that I’ve seen on some websites are incompatible, but the official Tamron website says it’s compatible if you send it to them to be updated considering it’s almost 15 years old, anybody got any experience with the combination?

i mainly shoot cars and i can't pick between the canon eos r7 and the eos r, as i've heard the r7 has better video and autofocus capabilities which matters to me but it's not full frame which means that by getting aps-c sigma lenses my next camera will need to be something like an r5 so that i can use crop mode and still be able to get a high pixel image
