Are Old Dslr Camera Somewhat Comparable To Modern Ones Reddit

In praise of older cameras

I was invited to a friends birthday party. I decided to exercise a simple setup( 2 lights) photo booth. Since alcohol would be involved, I didn't want to take my latest and greatest camera and lens. I decided I would utilize my onetime, catechism 5D mk 1 with a 50.

I had forgotten how skillful the files looked. Information technology was also a joy to non have wait forever for Lightroom to download and render the image files. I accept some other fun shoots coming upward…. This camera may exist coming out of retirement for these as well.

level 1

This really demonstrates that lighting is actually the most important factor in photography. E'er advanced cameras really merely give yous the ability to harness always more than farthermost and unforgiving forms of light.

level 2

That is so true, from camera phones to the latest megapixel monster, information technology is all about the light.

level ii

Truth human being, truth. I love these fancier and fancier cameras, but proper lighting and composition are nearly of the boxing, and it shows.

level 2

Even with a ten megapixel camera, a Ricoh GRD Iv, I get superb photos simply as you lot suggested, the photo is dependent on the quality of the lite and composition, non solely the photographic camera..

level ii

The autofocus though. Subsequently switching from a Canon 6D to a more modern photographic camera with center-AF and face-AF I've realized how much ameliorate my photos became. I tin now etch my photos all the same I desire without caring if my subject field's eyes are covered by the measly 12 AF points.

level ii

This actually demonstrates that lighting is actually the virtually important gene in photography.

Information technology really is, and this is the primary reason why new cameras are actually worth ownership. Low light performance is improving in leaps and bounds every generation.

level ii

The single most of import photography lesson I always learned is that cameras only photograph one thing: light. Made a big difference for me.

level 2

And glass. It'southward hard to beat a good prime number.

There certainly is something special about the 5DC, simply in full general this is the reason that spec chasers make no sense at all. Cameras do not degrade in performance over time in the aforementioned mode equally computers, and the world does not get increasingly hard to photo. That 5D Classic is simply as skilful today as the day it was brand new, and information technology was fantastic when information technology was make new. I love shooting with mine.

Too many people think they demand upgrades to make their photos improve and in most cases it's just ridiculous.

level 2

I have to grudgingly concord.

My kids each accept improve cameras than my daily driver (their grandfather is a gearhead and very generous and gave them an a6000 and a nex-6 for Christmas plus some lenses, where I have a catechism 550D with the dual-iso hack), and I however adopt the look of my onetime battle-damaged catechism.

Depression low-cal response is pretty much the but reason to upgrade these days, or to switch to mirrorless for better ergonomics and lens compatibility

My wallet really needed to hear this. Cheers.

degrade in performance over time in the same fashion every bit computers

Computers don't really degrade in operation over time. There are only 2 ways a computer can degrade:

If you lot ever run out of space, the filesystem will get permanently fragmented. This is specially grave for SSDs, if they go block fragmentation they're semi-permanently hosed. Both performance and durability falls by a big factor. This might be helped by deleting all data and overwriting information technology with all zeroes.
A laptop running out of power will offset throttling operation. This is more likely if the bombardment is in poor shape.

If you lot treat your system well, it can continue working for a airheaded long time though. My first generation retina Mac, must be about a decade old, nevertheless goes strong in both performance and battery life.

Our entire chief hallway has large (20 inch) sail prints taken during a trip to Ireland in the mid 2000s. The camera used was a Nikon Coolpix 4200. All 4 megapixels of point and click glory (information technology was small and easy to bring everywhere). Everyone said you can't impress those that big. Wrong.

I printed them a adept 6 years ago and simply slightly tweaked them in lightroom. The indoor shots from that trip exit plenty to be desired, merely the outdoor ones still look fantastic.

I even had a photo published that I took of a car accident with a Nokia N73. That photograph notwithstanding looks pretty great for a 3mp camera phone as well... especially 1 from 2006.

level 2

Hey, whatever risk you lot could share a pic of those prints?

level i

I agree.
I love my 5d and even so get great photos with information technology.
The autofocus is crap, though.

level 1

Digital cameras (speaking of mostly dslr'due south and some high end compacts) have taken great quality pictures from the early 2000'due south on. Sure some of them weren't not bad in low low-cal (especially what nosotros're used to today) only neither was film, and digital handily beat that out in many areas. I was blown abroad by my dslr in 2006, I all the same accept it and I still get surprised by the files when I use it on occasion.

level ii

I notwithstanding retrieve when nosotros were astounded that cameras could take clean images at 800 ISO. So the D3 came out and people'southward minds were diddled at 5 digit ISO numbers with somewhat usable image quality. And even that was most fifteen years ago (only had to wait upwardly the release engagement, it feels similar yesterday..)
