what would be the best camera to take "street" portraits, with little to no editing? one with great skin tones and which has at least an 85mm and 135mm equivalent lens in its ecosystem?

all suggestions are welcome, as long as it's a digital camera.

Sounds like a really low bar, pretty much any digital sold today will manage if you know how to set it up. If you want it out of the box with good tones then I guess Canon.

If you want a cheap, lightweight walking around camera with good jpegs I'd suggest a used Olympus Micro Four Thirds.
If you are doing everything in the daylight it doesn't really matter which, if you have some money to spend get the E-M1 Mk1 or Mk2 and some nice glass depending on budget. They are better experiences than they have any right to be and even the weather-sealed telephoto are light enough to carry around with a wiimote-esque wrist strap.
That or just ignore the above advice and go for the cheapest 00s DSLR you can find, if such things still exist in the double digit range these days due to CCD hype memery.

i can still find d200s, k10ds, and km 5ds for <$100 so yeah. the d200s being more difficult because of boomers who think because they paid $3000 for it in 2007 means its still worth $300

i second the olympus m43 or nikon d200 suggestion, olympus if you have $500-800 nikon if you have $200~. the em1 mk2s go for $4-600 from a quick glance just body only.

>>4450705
if the z30 is anything like my z50 9/10 times i found myself using the canon 5d mk2 preset in nxstudio for my files which is embarassing because at that point i would've just bought a canon 5d if i wanted canon 5d colors

actually on that note consider the 5d classic/5d mk2 and the 7d mk2 sibling, you can find 7ds for <$300 nowadays. always look local whenever shopping for canonikon since they're available cheaply and you can lowball people who dont wanna ship shit on ebay

Ha, don't. I use that crop shit for macro and macro alone, which is just curiosity snapshits. On anything you can see normally IRL it looks uncanny because you can see how it looks, you remember how it looks, and then micro four thirds turns it into some kind of vibrant plastic.

That's a poor quality brand engineered old Sigma from Ritz Camera. You'll likely be unable to stop it down (it gives error 99 and shuts the camera off if you try). Those work fine with early 90s Canon SLRs. Back in the day you could send them to Sigma service for a rechipping, no longer the case. They don't even work with the EOS 50.

Purposeful color grading instead of editing for "reality but as nice looking as i remembered it"
Status signaling tricks like shooting environmental stuff with super long focal lengths
low ISOs on high end cameras

I have an R6 II and I felt the need to immediately get a second battery. Got a grip when they went on fire sale during BILD and now it's like a baby R3 :3
I know the R8 doesn't have IBIS but I can't imagine trying to use a diet R6 II with a T6i battery.
Extra dial is nice too. Primary reason I got the R6 II initially.
No I don't do video faggotry either.

Honestly would be cool, but it would be an investment for them to develop a modern rangefinder mechanism and integrating it with the Z mount. I guess it would have to have no mechanical linkage from the body to the lens and just have it be an electronic "experience".

Currently having the same argument with myself.
>IBIS, Dual card slots, better ergos, more controls, RATE (topkek) button, weird spinny fuckin back control dial, Biggur EVF, 2.2x battery capacity, fully mech shutter R6-2
OR
>Lighter, smaller, cheaper R8
Now, it's a bit of a meme on /p/ but lighter and smaller are genuine niceties, paired with the fact that you save a couple hundred bucks that go towards a lens that isn't some f/7.1, forced correction joke. I've got some old EF 'BEEG WHITES' and the 200g diference between bodies would be noticable not just for total weight, but also weight balance.
>>4451215
Lack of a D-Pad where the dial is, is a primary concern of mine if I were to pull the trigger on one. Tell me, is the shutter button actually too far forward for smol hands such as mein and is the DoF preview button at the front actually of any use?

R6II is in my cart right now, I just don't know if I'd want to wait the two-three years for an R8II to appear.

Not sure. I have exceedingly average sized hands. Here they are holding it at what I would call a normal orientation. As you can see my pointer finger extends well past the shutter. I guess the problem if you have small hands would be getting around the outside of the grip than anything. I guess try it out.
I have zero problems with the ergonomics personally.

I have never used a camera with a dial until I got the R6 II. I don't understand why a D pad in the middle is needed. There are so many mappable buttons and dials on this thing (especially when you have a control ring) plus 3 storable modes that it's such a non-problem. If you want a D-pad, the little joystick works as one in the menus. You can use it also to move the focus point around, though the touchscreen works better for that.

Actually, getting thinking about it, yeah, no I would be less happy if there was a D pad on the wheel. Letting it just be the wheel lets me be a bit imprecise with my thumb-aim. I use the touch screen (not viewing through the screen, my eye is up to the viewfinder and the screen is off but you can still use it almost like a touchpad on a laptop to move the focus point) to move the focus point around if it's needed. Though the autofocus is so goddamn good that there is basically no need to tell it what to focus on.

Many such cases.

If Nikon Z get a really good, native performance EF adapter, canon's probably going to sue. They'd lose half the hobbyist market except for the poor souls who already memed themselves into $2000+ of RF L lenses.

Looking for my first film camera and I have my eyes on this bad boy. Is it any good for taking pictures? Or is it more useful as an extra pair of weights?

Pentax K1000, MX, or Leica (digital or film). These are your only good options for street portraits. Anything else is trash.
Seriously, though, with no editing:
Sigma, Pentax, Fujifilm have the best "creative" color modes available.
Canon and Nikon have good color modes for portraits, landscapes, and standard, their "creative" colors suck.
All of Sony's colors suck.

Would likely end up the same way as the Nikonos RS. There's also less need for it now because you would have to buy new WR Z lenses, whereas the obvious solution is to buy a housing for whatever camera and lenses you have.

Because it's full frame. It's one of the most compact lenses in its class and was recommended to me right here in /gear/. It was overly sharp and had zero character. Why have full frame when you get f2.5 if you want an actual (semi) compact lens?
APSC is superior for this.

I had one back in high school like 20 years ago. The beauty of it itโ€™s so simply constructed that you could probably tear it down and cla yourself in a weekend (if you enjoy that sort of thing. If that doesnโ€™t sound like your cup of tea, Iโ€™d pass. If youโ€™re going to pay a serviced camera premium there aree much better ones for just as cheap. But it is a capable little thing, the lens has that characteristic vintage glow (Inb4 seething about โ€œitโ€™s not realโ€) and the thing is basically bombproof. Wouldnโ€™t be my first choice if you arenโ€™t used to RF and old camera quirks already though, unless itโ€™s dirt cheap. I wonder if my folks still have my old negatives from it lol, may have to check when I head back home for Christmas.

Equivalence doesn't include ISO. Sony has greater photon well capacity, higher real resolution, and no xtrans worms. The files are more flexible and render better above instagram sizes.

This is not perceptible to men.

Fuji is one of the few brands that is just worse than sony. The others are olympus (way worse autofocus, worse menus, worse colors, worse reliability, WAY worse image quality) and panasonic (extremely unreliable, autofocus doesnt even work). With competition like that, who needs to make good cameras?

Shooting fuji is how gearfags openly and constantly admit they are gearfags. They're just here for the cameras and the instagram clout.

Sony users do at least pretend to be photographers, but we all know that if they're not renting a flagship for work and shooting nikon/leica at home they're new at this.

Fuji just doesnt make good cameras. If you broke their market share down by model it would be 2/3s x100 and entry level cameras. Their attempts at "high end" cameras with the x-t/x-h probably don't sell. Only gearfags are stupid enough to pay $2000 for an aps-c kit that underperforms micro four thirds since they get so caught up in brand wars and "color science and rendering" schizophrenia that only a gearfag could make a decision like that.

When you think about it, fuji is just leica for poor people.

It's kind of like how real musicians just go to the store and buy a mexican fender with a comfy neck and a line6/boss multi-effects that can plug into a PA, and "guitar hobbyists" build a pedalboard and pay out the ass for a vintage gibson.

So if you're a "thing hobbyist" instead of a "artist who uses thing", a fuji is actually the most reasonable purchase, because your other option is a leica or a real film camera.

Despite what the autistic screeching here would have you believe, most modern cameras can out out a perfectly decent and usable jpg, so long as your exposure is correct. But there isnโ€™t much editing room for correction with them. If youโ€™re just starting Jpgs are fine to get the basics down, then maybe you can consider raws if you want further refinement. If youโ€™re learning a camera and the also learning editing, which are two different things, you might start to conflate the two if anything seems off

Feel free to ignore this guy. It's shooting jpeg that makes people believe phones can perform on par with ILCs. The sharpening and NR engines in these things just aren't good enough and the older the camera is, the worse it gets. The higher the ISO, the more jpegs issues show.

Fuji in particular goes from iphone quality to normal ILC quality just by opening raws in capture one instead of shooting jpeg.

Shooting jpeg is pre-editing in camera with one of the least competent raw processors on earth unless you unironically spent $2k+ on your camera.

White balance, "DRO", etc have to be controlled before the shot and it's a massive waste of time and an actual downgrade from the workflow of shooting film, with added frustration from cameras rear screens tending towards inaccuracy because they're meant to impress best buy window shoppers and every proper repeat customer already shoots raw so companies don't care.

The nice thing about digital is you can basically just blast away infinitely until it starts to make sense. Imagine only having 24 chances to get it right lel

Start with JPGs of course. You dont need to spend hours editing your photos on a computer because your camera is incompetent (unless you bought a Sony or something)? Go outside and have fun taking photos.

Yeah I only suggest +RAW because I know I have stuff I shot JPG only from years ago that I wish I could go back and edit differently

look at what I was able to accomplish with an optimally captured exposure and RAW processing that could not possibly be improved upon

note that this is an OBJECTIVE improvement
the tonality and contrast of the natural colored landscape that's blueish because of the clouds contrasts with the bright red gate
Would making the sun rays more pronounced make it better? Yeah but that would have required having the raw which you did not provide

well, it couldn't possibly be any better captured or any better edited, so it really is just a limitation of the gear used, but thats okay because im buying a better camera soon

you're going to need to spend at least $10,000
Everyone knows you start being able to make truly good pictures when you spend at least $20,000 on a camera and $60,000 on lighting

Zoomers and gen alpha are literally so dumb their premature dementia rates are projected to collapse the healthcare system - if they get any healthcare at all, that is.

Mju bro.
They're so expensive for what they are. I'd never buy one at Ebay prices but I got this one that was sitting in a box at my parents' house. I gotta test it out but it seems to function as much as I can test without film.

The battery door latch is also broken so it's currently being held together with electrical tape.
