Choosing a Canon SLR Camera

I am constantly updating and supplementing this article. The article was last edited on 12.09.2019/90/XNUMX (added by XNUMXD). Ask your questions in the comments (my site 'Radozhiva' does not require absolutely any registration, and you can leave no e-mail or name).

Every day in the comments on my blog 'Radozhiva' the same question is heard - 'which Canon SLR camera to buy?'. In this article I will share my thoughts on this. Please note that the article is very full of subjective factors, since there are a lot of little things to consider when choosing a camera. I work as a professional photographer, and also do reviews of photographic equipment, shoot on almost all Canon and Nikon SLR cameras, you can say I ate a dog with these cameras and lenses.

Canon EOS SLR Camera Selection

Canon EOS SLR Camera Selection

All Canon digital SLR cameras can be divided into 3 classes:

  1. Amateur - These cameras are aimed at people who just need to get a high-quality photo without understanding the intricacies and settings of the camera. Most often, amateur cameras are best suited for people who do not take pictures professionally, but simply want a good camera for home, leisure, travel, family, nature, etc., so that the camera is light, easy to operate and inexpensive. Actually, Canon has the largest range of cameras in this segment.
  2. Advanced amateur - have advanced functionality with a large number of specific settings that you can deal with for a long time. These cameras are suitable for advanced amateurs who already know the settings, or want to get good potential for mastering skills in photography. Also, these cameras are noticeably more expensive and heavier. A distinctive feature of advanced amateur cameras is the presence of an additional monochrome display on the top panel of the camera, which helps to quickly access a number of settings.
  3. Professional - these cameras are designed for people who take professional photographs, know a lot about photography and are not afraid of manual settings. Typically, these cameras have a much better body and functionality. A distinctive feature of such cameras is the lack of a built-in flash (for the pros it is not particularly important). Usually these are full-format cameras or cameras with crop factor Kf = 1.3. Also, cameras of the highest price range have a combo case with a special additional handle that helps to keep the camera in portrait (vertical) orientation. I do not specifically touch upon this class of cameras in this article, because there is a million and one nuances in choosing professional equipment, and professionals themselves often know which camera they need.

For beginners and amateurs, I recommend Canon amateur cameras, which are represented in 2017 by 17 models.

The camera is a complex technical device, and the equipment does not stand still. In the tablet I indicated your rating of cameras based on the date the camera was released and its technical characteristics. I think that now the best amateur camera is the Canon 800D, this can be seen from the table below.

When choosing a camera I do not recommend paying much attention to the number of megapixels, in most cases, a huge number of megapixels is not in demand and even unnecessarily, in more detail in sections Battle of Megapixels, Gigapixels и Pixels and Subpixels.


Canon 800D is primarily interesting for its swivel touch screen, fast continuous shooting and excellent video quality.

In the plate in the column about focusing points, the letter 'k' means the number of cross-shaped focusing points. Such points help better cope with focusing in difficult conditions. For details on how focus points work on Canon cameras, see 'Canon EOS Camera Focus Sensors'. Cameras for which 'Tracking Focus' is not specified will automatically focus when shooting video unless the '*' button is pressed or the shutter button halfway pressed.


About the video: I want to convey to buyers that auto focus on all Canon cameras (except for cameras that support focusing Dual Pixel AF) when shooting a video, it works very poorly. This is due to the fact that the mechanism of a digital SLR camera is poorly adapted for focusing with a raised mirror, which requires a video mode. Typically, focusing when recording video occurs in contrast, rather than using the phase sensors of the camera. Canon says cameras 750D.760D 700D, 650D, 100D they use a hybrid focusing system to achieve fast and accurate focusing when shooting video, but in reality the automatic focusing with these cameras is still quite slow.

The same goes for Nikon SLR cameras and Pentax. If autofocus is very critical when shooting video, then I advise you to look towards Canon cameras with focus Dual Pixel AF, which provides high speed and focus accuracy when shooting video.


Various Canon camera names: 'D', 'Kiss Digital', 'Digital Rebel'

Canon in different countries calls its amateur cameras differently: in Japan they are known by the name 'Kiss Digital'and in the USA under the name'Digital Rebel'. Below is a table of correspondences of names. In Europe and other countries, cameras have a familiar name with the letter 'D'after the model number.

4000D (3000D for Asian markets) T100

Canon EOS 77D for Asian markets may have a name '9000D '.

If you are limited in funds, then a good option for an amateur Canon camera is the simple and affordable Canon 1300D, which, together with a standard (whale) lens, costs about 400 USD.


As for the advanced amateur camera, in my opinion, full-length Canon 6D и Canon 6D MarkII are a very interesting option. If there is no desire to get in touch with the full frame, then Canon is an excellent advanced amateur camera. Canon 7D MarkII.

I did not include the Canon 20Da and 60Da cameras in the table because of their specific features, which are of little interest to the ordinary amateur photographer. If you have limited means, then a good option for an advanced amateur camera Canon is Canon 70D.



Usually cameras of advanced amateur and professional classes are sold separately from the lens, such a kit is called a 'body', and when a camera is sold with a lens, it is called a 'kit' (this is how cameras from the amateur segment are most often sold), and the lens from the shipment is called a 'whale lens' (sometimes abbreviated and simply called "whale", which creates confusion - both a kit and a lens from such a kit are called the same word).

Attention: you cannot take pictures with one “body” camera, you should always take pictures with a lens :)


Important: usually, if you buy a camera with a whale lens (the so-called whale kit), then such a kit will cost less than buying a camera and the same lens separately.


There are lenses really different, for different purposes and for different tasks. Usually comes with a camera universal standard lensthat can be used for basic tasks. With a standard lens, you can shoot landscapes, close-ups, portraits - almost anything. Most often, the kit contains the cheapest lens of class 18-55 / 3.5-5.6 - Canon Zoom Lens EF-S 18-55mm 1: 3.5-5.6 IS or Canon Zoom Lens EF-S 18-55mm 1: 3.5-5.6 ISII... Also, you can find options with better quality options - Canon Zoom Lens EF-S 18-55mm 1: 3.5-5.6 IS STM or Canon Zoom Lens EF-S 18-135mm 1: 3.5-5.6 IS STM.



The choice of other lenses requires a separate large article, but in addition to the standard (universal whale) lens, I recommend getting a fast, discrete fix the lens. Such a lens does not know how to zoom, but has a higher aperture than "whale". This will allow you to easily shoot in low light conditions, control the depth of field (create blurred background in photos), create a 'bokeh effect', get brighter and more vivid colors in photos.

  3. You can read general information on the Canon EOS system here.

My experience

I recommend spending less time choosing a camera - more time will be spent on the photo itself. All cameras are presented in tables (except Canon 6D / 6D MarkII) have the same physical size of the sensor, and therefore at low ISO values, you can get good photos with the same probability. The camera is not always plays a decisive role When creating great photos, the skills of the photographer, lens and light sources are almost always more important. For example, below are my shots on the very first digital SLR camera from Canon, produced in 2000, with a simple lens Canon EF 50mm F / 1.8 STM:

My very useful advice - if there is no money for a new camera, ask your friends for help in buying a used one. camera. Personally, I would opt for the cheapest amateur cameras Canon 1100D, Canon 500D or advanced Canon 60D. If the video recording function in the camera is not critical, then you can stay on amateur Canon models 450D и 1000Das well as advanced models 40D or 50D.

Mirrorless cameras

Canon also launches a range of mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses, as cropped (bayonet mount EF-M) and full-frame (R mount) EF-M and R mounts are completely different and lenses cannot be used between them.

  • Tati

    Good day !!
    First of all, I want to thank you, Arkady, for the site !! a lot of the necessary information.
    Please help me figure it out, otherwise I’m completely confused.
    I am an advanced amateur. I have been fond of photography for a long time. Owner of Sony Nex3. Now I want to move to a new level and start making money on photography. I choose a camera from: Sony Alpha7, Nikon 5600, Canon 800d or Sony Alpha6000. Sony A7 we now have a promotion for 845 euros "SONY ALPHA 7 KIT (ILCE-7KB) + BAG + MEMORY CARD 24,3 MEGAPIXEL SYSTEM CAMERA WITH 28-70 MM F / 5,6 LENS, 7,6 CM DISPLAY, WIFI".
    Thank you in advance for your advice !!

  • Tati

    I want to add the canon 77d and the canon m50 to the above devices.
    Purpose of shooting: weddings, love story, studio,
    I’ve taken a shot at Sonya in the store. Sony6000 didn’t understand at all. But the doubt crept in that it was somehow defective. Alpha7 is good, scoundrel. But it’s embarrassing that everyone writes that he has troubles with autofocus. Yes, there’s a little. But , does this mean that photos of people in motion I can’t get from the word at all ??
    And Alfa7 lll is sooo good, but there is no money for it ...

    • B. R. P.

      UPC for commercial shooting in motion - risking personnel.

      • Tati

        Is this the problem of all mirrorless ones, or only Sony?
        I saw a photo with Sony Alpha 7 lll in motion, great!

        • hedgehog

          A7m3 has a very decent AF, as well as Fuji X-T3 (and very soon there will be an announcement of X-T4).

          • Tati

            I don’t consider something at all Fuji (maybe we should

        • B. R. P.

          To one degree or another - everyone. It is not known how many photos have gone into marriage of those that you saw with SonyA7m3 (for which you do not have enough funds yet), because you need a stable result for commercial filming, and not from time to time.

          • Tati

            And Nikon 5600, how are you doing with shooting on the move? I bow to him, plus I discovered today the action “NIKON D5600 Kit + 16 GB + SLR camera, 24,2 megapixels, Full HD, 18-55 mm lens (AF-P, DX, VR), touch screen, WiFi, black ”for 579 euros.

            • Pokemon

              What exactly do you mean by “movement” - you have not specified exactly.
              If serious Sport, or there for example dogs in open areas, then this is something at least (from the crop) d300s or d500, from the full frame: d3s, d4, d4s, etc.
              If there is a rental / rental nearby - borrow cameras of a similar level and compare with each other and understand what suits you best.

              • Tati

                No, it’s not sport. Well, for example, a person is dancing. Or it’s not running fast. Like the attached file

            • B. R. P.

              Mileage based on camera class. But when buying b. at. not only mileage is important.

            • US6IBD

              For commercial photography, look towards FF. 5600 - amateur crop.
              If you start from scratch, the Nikon D610 or Canon 5d mark 3 (2) version will cost you $ 700-800 on the secondary.
              Prof. cameras have a “screwdriver” - an internal autofocus drive. And this is saving on lenses.
              Nikon - tenacious autofocus, Canon - better skin tone (skin color), Sony - in-camera stabilization by matrix shift. Each system has advantages and disadvantages.
              In the dialogue, you mention the Nikon D80. A very good camera, but there are limitations on the limiting ISO, and these in turn are limitations when shooting in low light conditions. Raising ISO above 400 you get noise ...
              To shoot indoors, you will need ISO 2000-3000. Workers such ISO are only prof. apparatus and advanced amateur.
              Look at https://www.dxomark.com/Cameras/
              A popular set of many weddings: Nikon D810 + Nikon 70-200 F / 2.8 GII VR
              (You can even estimate the cost in the secondary market). And you also need a powerful flash, and preferably two - otherwise, due to refusal, you will screw up the wedding shooting. Spare memory cards, spare batteries for the device and flash, softboxes or umbrellas, reflectors and diffusers to soften harsh shadows when shooting outdoors on a sunny day, synchronizers ... Just start listing :-)
              Well, in general, look for the money. Maybe it’s really not worth investing until you have gained experience and a client base.
              The opinion of many acquaintances “weddings” is generally depressing - the middle price segment, where they have worked for many years, is dying. There are fewer and fewer orders. Solvency falls and people are content with amateur photography. You will never reach those who celebrate the celebrations in the Seychelles.
              Pancake. The whole novel turned out. Hopefully not very upset.
              Take what you can afford and over time you will understand what you are missing.
              Good luck!

              • Pokemon

                d750 is the most popular wedding bomb camera.
                On the secondary, right now it costs a little more than d610.

              • Ivan

                People, do you really think Tati will become a professional wedding photographer? Your advice at this stage is completely useless. See how the girl chooses (memory card + bag). And she focuses on the price of about 100 euros. What are you talking about?

              • Tati

                Ivan, thank you! You will not believe it, but it is precisely this kind of comments that urge us to live and work) how many times have I heard the phrase “you won't succeed!”, But everything worked out.
                But in general I do not see the contradictions, a woman and a handbag, everything is normal))
                But seriously, the carcass costs more than the set carcass + kit lens + bag. Why not a reason to buy?

              • Tati

                Thank you very much for such a detailed explanation! Clearly and in the case.
                And in general, it is a rarity these days that people share knowledge without a lot of things))

              • Ivan

                Dear Tati, I do not mind at all! If you wish, you can achieve success in any field. Just at this stage it looks something like this:

              • Tati

                Yes, actually, but who cares what it looks like at this stage? And then, we are decent people. And decent people in strangers do not throw memes.

          • Tati

            Or if not 5600, but what Nikon?

            • BB

              If you look in the direction of Nikon, then at least D7100 (7200) - there is quite a nimble AF, noticeably better than in the 5xxx-series.

              • Tati

                7100 (7200) we have only bush carcasses. The new camera is 7500 and starts from a piece of euro. A little expensive (((

            • BB

              The D7500 has already been cut decently. Why don't you want a BU? We (in Ukraine) now have a lot of offers for the D7100 with low mileage and the price of $ 320- $ 450, D7200 used. normally start at $ 400. The new D7200 is already more difficult to find, but in our online stores it seems to be still “in stock”, the price is really high (IMHO) - $ 800- $ 900, the price for the new D7500 starts at $ 850. Now I want to change the D7100 to D7200 myself.
              The D7100 has a pretty nimble AF: I shoot ballroom dances, modern dances, and often in not very good lighting. There are misses, of course, but noticeably less than on the D5100, and there are more focus points. The main lenses that I use on the 7100 are 18-140, 18-105, 70-300 / 4,5-5,6G. I am looking at Nikon 16-80 / 2,8-4

              • Michael

                10000, 20k is not a new camera. Further worse

              • BB

                There are offers with 5-10-20k mileage. I would take up to 50k, but be sure to look at the appearance (as used), well, the more mileage, the lower the price should be.
                Here is an article about checking the camera before buying: https://radojuva.com/2013/10/where-are-you-bug/

              • Tati

                I have 7100 in the city. Only on ebay to buy. But there you will not feel.
                And if from the canons, what do you recommend?

              • BB

                In the hands of the Canon I was holding only 40d, 60d, 70d, 1100d (I didn't like this one at all - a toy one, even compared to 450d), and 1dx. I didn’t work closely with any of them, more or less liked the 70d. But the ergonomics of Nikonov are closer to me, perhaps a matter of habit.
                Let the Canonists suggest :)

              • Tati

                Sat down tightly on the ebay in search of d7100. and everyone leaves, I do not have time for these auctions.
                And what do you say for d300, d80, d 5100?
                I read that d80 fire. You can buy it for 85 euros.
                Or d300? Costs 110 euro

              • Ivan

                Tati, if you analyze your posts from the very beginning, the conclusions are as follows. You claim that you are an advanced photographer, but your questions suggest that you don’t understand anything at all. You can search endlessly on Ibei. Either you buy faulty equipment, or you never master it. But to make money on the photo as you plan, you will not succeed. Better, keep taking pictures for yourself, for the soul.

            • BB

              Anything older than D7100 (from crops - d7000, d90, d80) will be much worse in noise / ISO. 5xxx series worse in autofocus + less choice of suitable optics.
              Therefore, from the crop it is worth looking at the D7100, D7200 (maybe the D500, but the price ...).
              Or FF: D750 (fell in price over the past six months), D610 / 600 - on our secondary housing they cost about the same (or even cheaper) D7200 - from ≈ $ 450. The FF is doing great with high working ISOs, the 600/610 has a slightly worse AF than the D750. But for FF as a whole, there is a greater variety of optics (including on the secondary), some AF-lenses (for example, 28-80) can be found for a penny at all, and it's easier with wide-angle optics.

            • BB

              The old D300 loses to the D7100 / 7200 in most parameters, although it belongs to professional cameras. I dreamed about it when I took the first digital camera (not yet a DSLR). Recently I figured that my D7100 is in fact no worse than my old dream (well, except for the professional management and 8 fps, and then only in Jpeg and with a baht block with AA). D7100, by the way, can 'accelerate' up to 7 fps in the 'crop crop' mode (kf = 2), and even without baht. block :-)

      • Saule

        Hello. I want to do a newborn shooting. Tell me which camera to buy? Eye on see canon 4000d and canon 600d

  • B. R. P.

    From Canon - 7D, 6D for example. Here Arkady has reviews.

  • Artem

    Hello
    I can not choose a used camera for amateur photography. The budget is 2500-3000 UAH ($ 100-120). I choose from the whales Canon 550D, 600D, 1200D, Nikon D3100, D3200, D5100. On the extreme Canon 1100D. Also looking towards mirrorless Sony A3000, A5000, NEX-3N.
    Most attracted to Canon and Sony because of the ability to put the old M42 optics through the adapter. And Canon has another 50 / 1,8 cheap ones.

    I choose not myself, for a gift. I use Nex F3 myself, I am very pleased with it, only the price of native optics upsets (

    • Oleg

      5100 is a good device, at least in comparison with the indicated triples, but it will not fit into such a budget. The Canon 600D is likely too. So the circle narrows. If for a gift to someone from the family, it is beneficial to take the same system that you have (if everything suits you), then you can take each other's lenses.

      • Artem

        Now I mainly choose between 600D and Alpha 5000. The former likes the price of optics and more convenient control, the latter has higher ISO working capacity and compactness (fits in a pocket in jackets even with SEL1855, not to mention SELP1650), and also focus picking “from boxes ”. But there is no phase detection autofocus, external flash and viewfinder, and the prices for Sony lenses are quite disappointing. For example, a fifty kopeck AF on an E-mount on the secondary costs about UAH 4-5k ($ 180), and on Canon EF you can find it for UAH 1000-1200 ($ 50). And Sony is already a little familiar with inexpensive UPCs, in general they suit me. But I never held a DSLR in my hands, not counting Zenith's grandfathers))

        For 2800 UAH I found on the alder A5000, 600D and 550D. As I understand it, the 550D is the same 600D without a rotary display? I will ask for status, mileage, etc. What mileage is considered normal for a purchase? Somewhere up to 15-20 thousand operations?

        I’m buying a camera for my friend, she’s now photographing on a Canon semi-working soap dish-super zoom and on the phone.

        • Ivan

          Only zero mileage can be considered normal for a purchase. Everything else is a pig in a poke. The mileage will tell you nothing about how the owner operated the camera, carefully or not, whether there were any breakdowns, disassembled or dropped the camera, whether it got exposed to water, left it in the cold or under the scorching sun in a closed car, and so on ...

          • US6IBD

            And if the previous owner was shooting only video, then there is a chance that broken pixels appeared during matrix overheating.

            • Ivan

              I can't say anything about all manufacturers, but on Nikon cameras, if the “broken” pixels are light, they can be easily corrected by the service program.

        • Ivan

          And yet, using the usual service program, you can write absolutely any mileage to the camera's memory. Everything is like in the automotive business ...

          • B. R. P.

            It is unlikely that someone will “wind up” the run on cameras of this class.

        • twm

          a5000 is handy for manual optics: focus peaking is magic. Plus a short working distance.
          If autofocus is in priority, I would look towards Nikon / Canon. a5000 (with its autofocus in contrast), dynamic objects and dark scenes will work out slowly: misses more often than we would like / long focus.

          > Sony A3000
          She, by the way, has an excellent grip for me - a deep rocoat. But this is not for everybody.

          • Artem

            I worked with focus peaking, a good thing, it is very convenient to aim at Helios-44M and Tair-3C. In the end, I think I really will take another Sony. In the A3000, only the display is confusing. I really like the grip in my Nex-F3. Compared with 3N, F3 is much more convenient in the hand.

            A5000, unfortunately, have already been bought, but he bargained, ordered F3 for 2900 UAH with low mileage in perfect condition. Not too bad, I think. I ordered delivery via OLX, I hope everything will be ok, not the first time already. We will walk together with completely identical cameras))

            It seems that these cameras do not differ much in picture quality, according to DXOmark

            • twm

              > In A3000, only the display is confusing
              In fact, visually it is a little worse than the “normal” F3 display: I hardly notice the difference and aim without hesitation. No discomfort when changing C3 (in my case) to a3000, but the convenience of a “mirror” grip appears :)
              I can be subjective, but like that. The only thing on the a3000 is the screen is rigidly fixed to the camera body.

              By the way (again), Fuji has excellent picking in X-series carcasses - it seemed to me more tenacious (accented / detailed) than Sony. True, I did not find the usual Sony chips: I failed to enable BW mode with simultaneous picking. Maybe I was looking badly (Fuji X-T10).

              • Artem

                I didn’t know about the BW mode simultaneously with picking, thanks. May come in handy

    Good day. There is a budget ~ 70t.r. Tell me which camera to choose?) Where to start?) Video is not so important. I want to earn money in the future as a photographer) I will shoot mainly on the street, I would like one universal lens and portrait)

    • Arkady Shapoval

      A full frame is best for work. New on a budget - Canon 6D in kit 24-70 / 4, 24-105 / 4, 28-135. These are universal lenses that will last for 1-2 years. The option in a set with 28-135 can be found in the region of 70 tr. (such a set)
      If all the same from cropped cameras, then the most optimal is the Canon EOS 80D in the version from 18-135 (such a set).
      From B.U. options a good solution Canon 5D mark II + 24-105 / 4.
      With lenses 18-135, 24-105, 24-70 / 4, 28-135, you can do without a portrait lens for the first time. In the future, you can look at the inexpensive 50 / 1.4, 85 / 1.8

  • Vladimir

    Hello
    Can't choose a D600 optics 18-135 or D700 18-55? The price is the same 300 euros. Application for the novice amateur plus video shooting

    • Michael

      Eem, probably the canon 600d? And not d600? It depends on what 18-55. If stm, then this is a good option. In general, 18-135 will be more convenient

      • Vladimir

        Thank you

  • Sergei

    Hello! There are 5k rubles. This is about 70 dollars. Which used can I take a reflex camera? On Avito and Yule for this money you can find Nikon 3100, Kenon 1100, 500, 400. Or is it not worth taking the device for this?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      D3100 will be the best of these

    • Pokemon

      Today I just wandered around Avito and saw for 6-8 thousand rubles Nikon D80 and Nikon D200 (I was very surprised at these prices) with low mileage. If you can add and clearly know that you will NOT shoot anything in the dark without a tripod, then you can take a closer look at these cameras.

    • Oleg

      But if you intend to shoot with inexpensive Soviet lenses, Canon is still preferable. In this case, Nikon will have to take an adapter with a lens in order to use the lenses over the entire focusing distance, and this may steal a little quality. Well, since in the Nikon 3100 there is some kind of video and shooting through the screen (live view), then its alternative is from the specified Canon 500 (400 lacks, and 1100 has a weak screen).

    • twm

      Build on the optics with which you intend to work. And from the subject.
      Manual Focus - Sony (NEX / E-mount range) / Fuji (X range): The focus peaking function in their cameras is the most convenient thing for manual lenses. Moreover, in the case of these brands, any manual “glasses” will be available to you.
      But - shooting moving objects (conditional children / birds), focusing manually is not an easy task.

      If you are thinking about complete optics (“kit” - the one that comes with the camera), choosing between a kit from Canon and Nikon, I would choose the second option.

  • Irina

    Hello, I really want to buy a good camera, an amateur, even a beginner in this matter. The camera is needed for travel, family photos, dogs. The budget is $ 400-700. Please tell me the options

    • Pokemon

      400-700 $
      Is this price already with a lens?

    • Valery A.

      If you are not afraid of the used option - Canon 100d with a whale lens for 150-200 dollars, if the hobby does not pass, you can buy light lenses.

  • Lena

    Good afternoon. Please advise which camera the full frame of the initial professional level to choose. It is important that there is the ability to shoot a report, not sporting events, but for example running children. I considered sony a7 m2, but read articles about it and doubted it. Perhaps the best solution would be canon 5d m2 or some kind of nikon? Thanks in advance for your reply.

    • BB

      Amusing wording of “initial professional level”. That is nonsense.
      If you choose not the first device, you should know what does not suit you in the previous one.
      If you choose the first, are you sure you need FF?
      If you need a truly reportage FF camera, the available one is the Nikon D3.
      If you choose an amateur camera - Nikon D610, a relatively universal lens for it - 24-120 / 4.
      Crop - Nikon D7200 + 16-80 / 2.8-4

      • Lena

        Thank! Now I have a sony nex7 and a 30mm lens, like a working one. Not satisfied with the number of frames in serial shooting and not tenacious autofocus, plus the fact that on the lens crop it is already 45 mm and you have to go far. Therefore, I want some kind of faster-firing and fairly fast-focusing camera.

        • BB

          Now I use Nikon D750, D7100, D7200.
          The D750 (compared to the 7100/7200) has poor coverage of the frame with focus points - only the center. However, all DSLRs suffer from this in one way or another. The D600 / 610 has a slightly worse focusing module, but I did not use it.
          The D7100 has a very small RAW buffer for reporting - only 5-6 frames. The D7200 has a slightly worse add. display (compared to D7100), but a normal frame buffer.
          There are no complaints about the focusing of these cameras, I often shoot dances in poor lighting conditions, even whale 18-105, 18-140 are quite nimble for tracking focus.

        • BB

          PS looked at the characteristics of the Sony nex7. On “paper” he can do 10 fps. Missing the rate of fire? Amateur DSLRs can't do that, the average rate of fire is 5-7 fps. Only then can they have time to refocus if the object has not moved much.

          • Lena

            Thank you for describing so much about Nikons in detail.
            Nex7 takes about 5-6 frames in raw, stops and after a couple of seconds makes another frame. In general, for some reason, the buffer is small.

            • BB

              D750 and D7200 have a buffer in 16-bit RAW mode - 13 frames (two seconds of shooting); in 12-bit RAW mode - 16 frames (almost three seconds of shooting); in JPEG - 23 frames, and with a fast memory card, you can shoot continuously until the card is full. If the frame buffer is full, the shutter button is locked - that is, focusing works, but the shutter does not occur. As soon as at least one frame from the buffer is written to the memory card, the release is unlocked. The number of available frames in the buffer can be seen in the lower right corner of the viewfinder.

              • Dmitriy

                What other RAW 16 bits does the NIKON D750 and D7200 have?

              • BB

                * 14-bit, of course

        • US6IBD

          Any DSLR provides acceptable focusing when shooting fast-moving objects - children, birds, vehicles, because it focuses using a special system with phase sensors. Its performance is measured in tenths or even hundredths of a second without taking into account the inertia of the lens. But in general, focusing is within 0,2 ... 0,5 seconds. In mirrorless cameras, focusing is carried out by contrast and in equal conditions of illumination and contrast of the objects of photography takes up to 1,5 ... 2 seconds. Moving subjects are out of the question. The rate of fire will not save.
          So the problem is not focusing tenacity, but speed. You yourself understood this and the right decision is to switch to a mirror device.
          I don’t think that the proposed D3 is really necessary for you, but now D610 or D750 can be purchased on the secondary market for 600-700 cu with low mileage.
          Also reasonable prices for the 5D Mark2 / Mark3.
          Photographers who are used to mirrorlessness are tempted to use the LiveView mode, but in this case, phase focusing will automatically be replaced by slower focusing in contrast.
          In new mirrorless cameras (Nikon Z6 / Z7, Canon R, etc.), phase sensors are located directly on the matrix and the devices have a hybrid phase-contrast focusing system. But the price of these devices goes off scale for 2500 ... 3500 USD.

          • Lena

            Thank you for explaining about the focusing system, I did not go into this question, but this turns out to be a decisive factor for the shooting speed.

        • Pokemon

          From used cameras:
          Nikon D700, D3, D3s (there are more recent D4, D4s, but they should be taken if there is extra money), from those that are now available and are inexpensive D750.
          Canon 1D mk4 (crop 1.3)

          • Alexey

            I do not recommend the D700 - the camera is removed from support, shutters and everything else are no longer supplied. If you only look for spare parts at flea markets.

            • Lena

              Thanks to everyone for the recommendations. There is something to think about.

  • Vyacheslav

    Good day.
    I want to say thank you very much for such an informative site in which the information is presented very well and, and most importantly in a very convenient presentation, gradually from step to step.
    I want to ask you this. In 2012, he took a Nikon Coolpix p500 camera. Took honestly more for the video. Recorded videos from his vocal academies. Over time, he slowly began to delve into the settings of the camera and slowly take pictures. A couple of years ago, the sound quality on the camera ceased to suit and began to mix video with the sound recorded on the Olympus recorder.
    Now the question itself. Two years ago there was a desire astrophotography. You won’t squeeze out normal photos from my Nikon.
    Therefore, I am looking for such an apparatus that shot a video and helped in the development of astrophotography.
    Another fad, there are two stereo microphones on my camera, and actually I am looking for the same camera. Is this true? Or it makes sense to look for a normal camera and buy microphones, although this is a material cost.
    I liked the models Nikon d7200 (I didn’t find if I had a stereo microphone), Nikon d610 (again I didn’t find information), Nikon d500 (similarly), and Canon 7d mark II (Wikipedia writes that there are stereo microphones,).
    Tell me whether I think in the right direction, and apologize in advance for such a long post.

    • BB

      A stereo microphone is present on the D7200, there is also a jack for an external microphone. Video, though I have not tried to write on it yet.
      There are telescope adapters for DSLRs.
      But unprofessional video is easier to shoot on a camcorder (now there are a lot of available used offers, sometimes FullHD cameras come across for ridiculous money).

    • US6IBD

      On the built-in microphone, during video recording, clicks will be heard from the movement of the lens unit of the lens by the focusing motor, which will correct the focus even with small movements of the subject. I use AF lenses with a “screwdriver” driven by the camera. Claps deafening! Maybe AF-S lenses will be quieter.
      Of course, you can disable tracking autofocus, with the following consequences, but it is better to use an external microphone.

  • Larissa

    hello Arkady. the daughter wants to do photography, in the future, of course, professionally, but for now, start taking pictures of friends, corporate parties, etc. wants canon, which camera and lens will be more acceptable in quality, within 100k.?

    • 1Ds_mk3

      Canon 250D with a whale lens. Enough for a start.
      If your hands burn money, you can take Sigma 17-50 / 2.8 or Canon 17-55 / 2.8 instead of a whale lens.

      • Larissa

        thank you

      • Roman

        17-55 looks very uncomfortable on the 250D. It’s possible to adapt, of course, but it’s like that.

  • Jury

    Good afternoon. I have a question. There is a choice between buying Nikon Df and canon 5d Mark 4. Tell me which one to choose and why.

    • Alexey

      an extremely unusual choice - between a somewhat strange camera, it is not very clear for whom a designed and professional camera for any shooting conditions. As Arkady once wrote, there are questions that require 10 or more test pages to be printed in response. this is one of those questions. cameras are too different, they cannot be compared. and in general the choice of nikon \ kenon \ sony \ something else is very difficult. no one will give advice without any specific wishes of the photographer.

    • Jury

      Start by answering the question, are you planning to make a video? Maybe the choice will end on this issue.

    • Pokemon

      You better tell me why such a choice.
      DF, understandably - nostalgic design. By the way, on which Fuji and Olympus make money successfully.
      Forum trolls called DF as Digital failure.
      Well, yes, strange, the matrix is ​​from D4, but the shutter hbz from which the AF module from d7000 / d600-610.
      And this camera was discontinued.
      In this sense, the 5D mk4 is a better choice.

  • Julia

    Good evening!
    I want to update my camera, which I use for amateur portrait shooting and subject shooting. While shooting on a Canon 20D with a 50 1.5ft lens.
    I want the camera to have WiFi, well, the overall image quality has improved.
    The budget together in the lens (1-2 pieces) 800-1000 euros.
    I would be very grateful for the advice!

    • B. R. P.

      Here, for example, a selection of cameras with WiFi: https://magazilla.ru/m1_magazilla.php?brands_=34&presets_=194%2C2062&katalog_=206&pf_=1&order_=reviews&save_podbor_=1
      It is not clear what kind of lenses (1-2 pieces) you are interested in. Any decent macro lens + portrait lens can eat up the lion's share of your budget.

      • Julia

        I'm not interested in macro photography. Subject shooting means that I shoot for Instagram cosmetic products in different interiors.
        If I can do portraits and do it with one lens, then it's wonderful.
        I want to get advice on which lens is best suited for these purposes, given that on my own I already have an acceptable result.

        • Roman

          Canon 250d with the stock 18-55 is compact and with Wi-Fi, quite decent image quality, a good leap in comparison with the 20d, your fifty dollars and a tripod. The rest is better spent on lighting - a ring lamp, for example, an LED and a softbox for four powerful housekeepers. Well, the backgrounds. Normal lighting and a tripod will improve the quality of your images much more than a full frame and cool lenses.

          • Julia

            Roman, thanks! I already have a tripod, I thought about lighting.
            I do not shoot in the studio, so I do not need backgrounds. More often nature, hotels, places with a beautiful interior. I do not know how much lighting can be compact for transportation.
            And if I still decide to change the lens, what should I pay attention to based on the tasks?

            • Roman

              A pair of radio-controlled flashes, folding softboxes like Godox, two folding tripods for flashes, a remote control for a camera - when folded, all this will fit in a small backpack, but will significantly improve the quality of pictures and make it easier to retouch (or make it more natural).

              By the lens ... I don't quite understand your task. For photographing people in the interior, on the beach, in some places where you do not stray too far from the model and at the same time you can use a variety of angles - top, bottom, side and portraits from full-length to front, I have enough Canon EF-S The 17-55 / 2.8IS is the ideal lens for this purpose. There are simpler and cheaper counterparts from Tamron, for example, without a stabilizer (17-50 / 2.8).

              The subject is usually a macro. But in principle, for a subject without much detail, and also on a tripod, with the aperture clamped to 8, you can do the same 17-50 (17-55), it will also remain for people.

              It's just that you already have fifty dollars, and for all its mediocrity, it closes the middle of the range well. Some kind of macro 35 / 2.8IS gives stabilization and macro, but is too close to it. Some kind of macro 60 / 2.8 can be used for portraits, but it is also next to the fifty dollar. You need to look at your tasks and go to solve them either in a wide part of the range, or take something like 100/2 or macro 100 / 2.8 - this is already a purely subject and close-up portraits or full-length portraits at a great distance and with good separation from the background ...

    It will probably be easier if I show examples of my shots, for which I need a camera.
    Portrait shots are for your own pleasure. Subject only for social networks. When I need better pictures for magazines, catalogs and advertising, I work with professional photographers.
    That is, my pictures are not for printing, but for Internet content.
    The question of additional items like a tripod and lighting is not worth it, as it is burdensome for me to move around with it. A backpack with equipment is definitely not my topic.))
    A box and one or two lenses with me is my maximum.
    Here are the photos that I took on my camera. In pictures with people, I would like more background blur.

      In principle, a 17-50 or 17-55 class lens will cover your needs. This is a rather massive lens, so cameras of the 200D / 250D class will be small for it.

      In your XXD line, the first thing with WiFi is the 70D. A decent waterproof camera, a movable screen, more focusing points, about the same size and weight, you won't have to retrain much.

      The ideal option is the EF-S 17-55 / 2.8IS, the cheaper one is the Sigma / Tamron 17-50 / 2.8, look, there are options with and without a stub.

      Two flashes, two foldable softboxes - one is enough for simple lighting schemes, the second is enough when one is not enough or for more complex lighting schemes, this will help your interior photography as well.

      Honestly, such pictures can be taken on a mobile phone. No camera has yet been able to think through the idea of ​​a picture, the expected impact on the viewer and creative decisions to achieve them. So why pay / carry more with yourself?

      • Julia

        No, the phone doesn’t work either, unfortunately.

        • Trueash

          I ask you not to take my words as snobbery or teachings, but for the end result “carcass” has the least meaning. You don't have to go far: on this site Arkady has posted a bunch of cool pictures taken with the ancient Nikon d40. Because the main thing is the skills of the photographer; then - an interesting light, then - a lens, and last of all - a carcass.
          For example, all the objects in your pictures are centered. This is a very boring composition (apart from knowingly using it). The top bottle rolls to the right, accentuating the shadow pushing it. There is too much white space in all the pictures, which does not work and is rather distracting. To remove these bottles larger, as I understand, MDF did not allow. So, you need to either crop to the detriment of detail, or macro - and here you can't do without a tripod. And without a bright light.
          You have quite a lot of money, so I would advise you to start from the lens. I don’t know Canon’s technique, but, for example, Tokina 100 / 2.8 is both a wonderful makrik and a portrait photographer. It costs, emnip, about $ 400. The rest is a tripod, a pair of reflectors, a remote control, and a composition tutorial.
          And to blur the background, try to shoot the object as close as possible, and the background behind it to be as far away as possible.

          • Roman

            You can’t take off a hundred people in full growth. Especially in the crop, especially in cramped conditions.

            Half a ruble of MDF has something from 30 to 40 cm, this is not a macro, but you can definitely take a close-up of a bottle or a jar of cream. There, the task is not just in a close-up, but in the surrounding space, which should be guessed, and not just a green spot. As for framing, I agree, but you don't have to wash the space so much, rather, on the contrary, cover yourself up to 4-5.6-8, and so that all this does not look like a photo from a phone, separate the object from the background with light, not blur. Time, experience - everything will come, you need to shoot more.

          • Roman

            Weaving for a portrait - this is a typical one - moved away, the background in the trash, the correct facial features and three-quarters full face. Well, some more variety with the upper plans - like climbing a tree-stone-stairs and from there you yell at the model. You can't take it off from below, you can't fit it into the interior, except perhaps into the palace. Therefore, most model photographers have enough 24-105 on a full frame, while their pictures are located somewhere in the middle of the range, gravitating, rather, to 24 mm than to 105. A 100, and even on a crop - this is immediately a wild amount of restrictions.

            • Julia

              Roman, I'm lost)
              Yes, you correctly understood that taking jars close is not my goal, and a lot of the background around the subject gives me the possibility of further modification, since my Instagram feed follows the principle of a collage on a white background.
              That is, everything suits me.
              I need some advice on hardware))
              Based on everything you read and saw, could you summarize?

              • Roman

                Climb up the tape, I replied, maybe you missed a comment.

          • Julia

            I am not offended by your words, if I knew that only photographers working with national geographics and vogue exchange information here, then of course I would not ask my question.
            But as I understand it, there are many lovers. I posted my photos in order to clarify for what use I choose a camera and of course I did not expect to receive artistic recommendations for three photos.
            As for the lens, I understood you, but I want to change the box as well, increasing the budget if necessary. As I wrote above, I would like to be able to transfer photos via Wi-Fi.

    Good day)
    Thanks for the article, but I'm a little dull, with the names in general porridge. I took myself the first Canon 1200d SLR 16 years old. I walked with her for a couple of years, got used to it a little, with a whale lens, really. after I put a 50mm lens, I went into night shooting. realized that in her case the lens was not enough. even with not bad lighting, the detail is very lame, otherwise a lot of noise. the only option is to click on the shutter speed with a tripod, but this is still a crap. the model must be absolutely motionless, which is almost unrealistic. in general, what am I for. thought to take something more weighty. 5d and 6d, even on the used market, are categorically expensive, and in general they are quite ushat and with huge mileage. from everything figured out that I need something with a two-digit value. on your article more or less seen enough model 80d. I plan to assemble the kit together with the lens, and try to beat off its price, taking pictures for money, because for the last to take the hand did not rise, only took pictures of friends.
    budget 500 dollars think

    • Pokemon

      Instead of replacing one crop with another, if I were you, I would dig up a used Canon 6d.

      • Pokemon

        By the way, a really nice camera. Think about her.

        • Denis

          6D is hard to find in normal condition. usually with space runs and a dead body

          • Pokemon

            If you are from the Russian Federation, then there are a lot of them on Avito right now with runs up to 50 thousand frames.

            • Denis

              no, I'm from Belarus, we have poorer here)

  • Alina

    Good day! Can you please tell me if the Canon 80D is suitable for photographing animals. Including dogs in motion and in competitions? Does autofocus work well for this model?

    • Alexey

      AF is excellent there, but it depends very much on the lens.

  • Ii

    Hello. Now I choose a camera with a good quality of shooting, I take bu rubles for 10, well, plus or minus a few thousand. So far, I settled on the Canon 000d, but decided to look even better. I would like to have a rotary display and a microphone jack. Can you tell me please?

    • B. R. P.

      The Canon 100d has a microphone jack. With swivel display 600d, 650d, etc.

    At one time I switched from Kiev-19 to Nikon 80D,
    there is a small park of lenses:
    Nikkor AF-S DX 18-135 / 3.5-5.6 G IF-ED
    Nikon 35mm f / 2D AF Nikkor
    Nikon 50mm f / 1.8D AF Nikkor
    Nikon 55-300mm f / 4.5-5.6G DX AF-S ED VR
    Tamron AF 28-75mm f / 2.8 SP XR Di LD
    + Nikon Speedlight SB-600
    Recently, I rarely get it, the quality of shooting on a smartphone is comparable in normal conditions.
    And then they made an unexpected gift - Canon 2000d kit
    Canon, on the one hand, feels like a rattle after Nikon D80, but it shoots better.
    The first idea was to sell it, and buy a Nikon 3500, but after studying the current Nikon line, I realized that to use
    For all my lenses, you must take a model of at least 7 *** series, and with an adapter for Canon, screwdriver lenses will work the same as on the D3500.
    And then there was a 40 / 2.8 STM pancake turned up for little money, and with it Canon 2000d became more interesting.
    I'm still thinking about which system to stay in, and why the 2000d is so bad, except for tactical sensations :-), compared to the closest models from Canon
    for amateur use?

    • B. R. P.

      There are three good full-frame lenses among your lenses. If it is possible to take a full frame, you can make a tangible step forward in the technical capabilities of the equipment. If you stay on the crop, then from 7 *** series D7200 is a good option, IMHO.

  • Georg

    Hello,

    in an interview on YouTube, Arkady talked about one of his hobbies, looking at photographs on websites and trying to determine which lens was shot.

    Maybe someone knows where to see which photos were taken with which lens to decide which lens to buy.
    Any sites?

  • Ilya Vysochinsky

    Thank you for this article, it was very helpful in choosing.

  • Novel

    Good afternoon!
    Recommend a universal lens for canon 800d.
