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.

The exact and correct answer does not yet exist. In each case, the answer may be different.

Full frame or crop?

In each case, the answer may be different. In the general case, full-frame cameras are considered better.

  • Roksolana

    Hello! Please tell me, I plan to engage in professional photography in studios and outdoors. As for a beginner Canon 800d Kit, it’s suitable or something else budget advise please

    • B. R. P.

      How suitable for a beginner. For pro shooting, the Kit is weak. At least 17-55 2,8 or sigmo tamron 17-50 2,8. + 50 \ 85mm.

    • Ruslan

      Hello! And why do you need a kit if you are going to shoot professionally? Take then 77d body + 50 1.8 STM at the same price. Or from hand full frame 6d or 5dMKII

      • Novel

        What's the point of a 6D / 5D MKII without lenses? :)

        I agree about the lens. 17-50 / 2.8 and some kind of 85 / 1.8.

        • Ruslan

          For the price of the new 800d Kit just enough for a used 5DMKII + some lens, the same 85ka or 50 + 17-50 tamron / sigma

          • Ruslan

            lenses also mean with hands

          • Novel

            17-50 - crop lens. It would be difficult to find a cheap FF equivalent.

  • Catherine

    Good day! please tell me, I choose a camera for landscapes, a portrait one, basically there will be a street, and night shooting is not excluded ... there was a canon 350D model, advise me to choose between models: Canon EOS 80D; EOS 800D; EOS 77D; 5D.
    or maybe something else is necessary ... Thank you for your help in choosing!)

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Better voice the budget for the new camera

      • Catherine

        The budget is $ 1000, I'm more inclined to take a body, and a lens separately ... or take it with a standard kit lens for a start?

        • Michael

          And now there are no lenses? Then 6d will be preferable

    • anonym

      for landscapes you need a camera with a large DD and with a maximum number of pixels.
      for evening / night need with good high ISO
      portraits need accurate color and beautiful skin tone.
      In general, for $ 1000 there is no such camera yet :)
      if something is very averaged, then probably with a stretch of Kenon 6D.

      • Anonymous

        Oo-M-G! Does each story have its own camera? How painful!
        Wings, wings ... The main thing - the tail! Whoa!

  • Vladimir

    Good afternoon.
    I want your advice, it is possible to buy for little money "Canon 50D with Canon 28-80mm" mileage to 13000 ...
    The forums write that this model is a good workhorse, but demanding on the lens ...
    Please advise which glass you can buy (not from the top ones) for creative work ...
    And anyway, is it worth buying this unit at the current time? Not too old?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      For d50 it’s better not to take 28-80. For creativity, it is better to use something from the category of fixes like canon 50 / 1.8 stm, and you can take an inexpensive 17-85 as a universal

  • Al

    Say be a daska, Mayon canon 60d (all home camera), and all the functions are not Victorian (I photograph on auto post). In the road, brothers are important. I want to remember on canon m50. What is the photo in canon m 50?

    • Michael

      Purely technically everything will be the same, differences are possible only due to different automation algorithms

    • anonym

      highly dependent on the optics and where you will see the final photo.
      with good fast aperture optics M50, the pictures will be noticeably more detailed, the DD is larger, the AF is much better, there are no problems with back-front focus, it is much easier to shoot.
      60d - more battery life, more accurate color.
      IMHO, I would definitely change to m50.

      • Onotole

        Again this Anonymous with his back-front focus ..
        Anonymous, did this back-front bite you in childhood or what?

        • Michael

          Yes, not infected, apparently. Looks like a sausage!

        • Arkady Shapoval

          I looked at the ip of the commentators - really 'cat', etc.

          • Valery A.

            Stirlitz stood under Himmler’s balcony in a red embroidered shirt and with an accordion in his hands.
            Kopelyan's voiceover:
            - Never had Stirlitz was not so close to failure ...

        • Alexey_S

          Yuri, and Onotole, fully support.
          This Anonymous, Cat or whatever it is, I’m sorry, I have dirtied the whole forum with my flawed one-sided opinion, either the front / back focus bit him, the SLRs suddenly became slag, but the UPC is supposedly manna from heaven, especially A7M3 (which by the way have their own sores, problems).
          One and the same musolit, everywhere promotes his opinion and does not respectfully communicate with colleagues.

          IMHO, or is paid up the groom, who once Cannon, and now Sony, unfasten "Good" for this type of work, or is it just that type of people who would only dirtied (securing rezulate its undoubtedly the only correct opinion), and then they let though a plague or a fire.

          I begin to dislike Sonya precisely because of such fans.

  • Anastasia

    Good day. Tell me, for a beginner photographer 6d body with Ed 50 mm / 1,8 standards ?? I plan to shoot families, love stories, weddings. Thanks for the answer.

    • Michael

      Not the norm. I need a zoom at least

    • Arkady Shapoval

      It is advisable to have some kind of station wagon and fix for creativity, with one 50 / 1.8 stm it will be difficult.

      • Anastasia

        And can you please specify which station wagon ?? I'm not very good at it yet

        • Alexey

          If cheap and cheerful - Canon EF 24-105mm f / 3.5-5.6 IS STM
          More expensive and tasty options -
          Canon EF 24-70mm f / 4L IS USM
          Canon EF 24-105mm f / 4L IS II USM
          - can be viewed on the secondary housing

  • Vladimir

    Good afternoon. The issue, apparently, already all boring, but the head has overheated a little. I am looking for a replacement 350d. I know the basics of the photo, but I am an amateur, and 90% of the photos are landscapes from different hikes, a little from travel, animals / birds may come across. There are few people. The budget is now about $ 1000, and if you want to expand, ie dig. Options are now Canon 77d rit 18-135 or Nikon 5600d 18-140 (judging by dxo it with the scenery will be better). If you dig in, 7200d or 7500d will fit into the budget. Of glasses over time by acquiring the fixation 50, and possibly close. In general, the question is whether it makes sense to buy a more expensive device for my tasks, and what is preferable for them from the sounded.

    • B. R. P.

      If you have optics for Canon, then it’s logical to take a Canon camera. I think that an expensive or not very camera is not so essential, optics are more important.

    • Alexey

      Vladimir, even if you buy a used Canon 550D in excellent condition (within 10.000 on the market), you will see a huge leap in picture quality - due to the resolution (and the possibility of painless cropping), noise reduction at high ISO, and expanded functionality. For the remaining funds, you can take a couple of Canon fixes (50mm STM or 85 1.8 + 200mm 2.8), for a wide angle - Sigma 18-35 1.8. And the money will still remain.
      And you can take a chance and take a full frame - Canon 6D (new) or 5D3 (second-hand). If there's EF lenses, they began to play with new colors.

    • Roman

      If they are hiking, I would look towards the 7D II while they are still there. There is no rotating screen - this is a disadvantage for difficult shooting conditions. Plus it is heavier (but also more reliable at the same time). There is serious moisture protection, built-in GPS (though it drains the batteries terribly), more focusing points and an overall chic autofocus - this is for birds. Sometimes you need a shutter of 1/8000, sometimes - focusing on aperture 8 for the center point (this is if a dark telephoto lens with a converter).

    • Roman

      And so that it was really better with landscapes - a good shirik, a tripod, shooting with a bracket, so that it was possible to draw out light-shadows during development not only in one frame.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      I think that 80d with a whale lens will be the best solution. Better yet, if the whale is this (with lens 18-135).

      • Olga

        Thank you very much! You are my hero )))!!!

  • Larissa

    Good day! I look after my first prof. camera for shooting children outdoors and indoors. Before that I used only soap dishes. I turned my attention to the Canon eos 1200 d with add. a lens of 50 mm, f / 1,8. Tell me, is it worth taking this model for home use?

    • Roman

      Not the coolest camera, but if you find used and inexpensive, then quite. Make sure that the main lens is 18-55IS, ISII, IS STM, and by no means DC III. The latter is very slow.

  • Nicholas

    Hello, tell me please, I can’t find the information on the Canon fp film camera, discard who is not difficult))

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Here here

  • Anastasia

    Hello, please tell me how is the Canon 800D kit different from the 800D body?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      kit is a camera with a standard lens, most often 18-55.
      body - without lens camera

      • Anastasia

        And which is better to buy for yourself?

        • Arkady Shapoval

          Definitely a Kit. Even better if there is kit 18-135, a little worse if there is kit 18-55

          • Anastasia

            And please tell me more, what is the difference between USM and STM?

            • Michael

              In the focus motor. Plus, the stm version is newer and generally better

            • Arkady Shapoval

              These are the methods of focusing lenses, their motors. In general, STM is better, especially for video. For photography, the difference among whale lenses will be small.

  • Andrei

    There is a choice between 750D and 200D.
    Very concerned about the focus issue in LiveView. How much better is Dual Pixel AF focusing in this mode than Hybrid AF 3 ???
    Just a question about a photo, not a video: it’s obvious that dual-pixel is much better for video. And how do these focusing behave in the shooting mode in comparison with each other ???

    Thank you!

    • Arkady Shapoval

      The difference between Dual Pixel and Hybrid CMOS AF is significant in favor of Dual Pixex

      • Andrei

        Can you then clarify why 750D is higher in your rating?
        Focusing LiveView at 200m is better. In the video, again, DualPixel and 60 frames decide in the direction of the 200th.
        According to DxOmark estimates, as far as I remember, the 200th is also better.
        Purely by year of release, he is also older.

        The only plus I can see at 750m is the 19 cross points for optical autofocus.
        Solves only this?
        Or what else do you think is better in it ???

        Thank you!

        • Arkady Shapoval

          Because focusing through Live View is just one of the options for creating a ranking. By itself, the 750d is a class higher with a much more powerful focusing system through the optical viewfinder

          • Roman

            I looked at detailed comparisons, in principle, except for the number of points, the 200D is better in all respects, including the number of shots on the battery. Well, weight-size, of course, with seemingly no worse ergonomics. So it’s really difficult to somehow position better or worse.

            • Arkady Shapoval

              There are always many nuances, something more important for you, something less, for others it is different. Choice - a complicated matter

  • Sergei

    Hello. What can you say about the Cennon 600D or 650D? I'm more interested in macro photography and landscapes. Thank you in advance for your advice.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      I can say a lot. Landscape or macro photography in this case depends on the lenses, and the image quality from these cameras is almost the same.

  • Denis

    Tell a newbie what is the best choice: Canon 77d or Nikon d5600? I want to take creative photos like jordi koalitic and portraits like geoleon or Brandon Woelfel from Instagram. The quality of the d5600 photo seems to be better (according to the dxomark rating), and the device itself is cheaper. Given the more expensive optics on Nikon, these devices will come out at about the same price. The budget is about 20 thousand UAH. What do you say as a practitioner, where is the picture really better? Should you trust the ratings?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      The picture is better in the right hands, but to understand this, you need to shoot very, very, very much. Choosing the first camera is always tricky. To begin with, I would take the d5600, and then it will be seen how things go. But, very seriously consider that those pictures of those photographers whom you mentioned are 90% processing and staging and only 10% of the possibility of technology.

      • Denis

        Understood thanks. As for the processing, I am in the know. Only I still know that the processing capabilities also very much depend on the equipment on which the photo was taken. The better the source, the easier it is to process and the more space for creativity. Now I'm studying in a photo school, in the next lesson we will undergo processing😁

        • Valery A.

          What does the course teacher advise?

        • Roman

          In class? This is not a one-month study, and after one month of practice. Separately - Film development, separately - the colors separately - retouching. It only work with source code, except for aspects of the actual shooting.

          What do you expect to see from iron, especially on such frames? Color accuracy? It is distorted by wild color grading. Sharpness? It can be added (and it is definitely added). Blur? Background is very often washed artificially in the trash and this can be seen in half of the pictures. Black and white drawing on the face is completely redrawn. A typical situation when it seems that the master has everything ogogo, because he has the technique ogogo. Everything is awesome because he is a master. And he has a great technique, because he can afford it, and because at a certain percentage of personnel these advantages of his technique will be decided.

        • Roman

          https://www.instagram.com/p/B0qzxtoH2wx/ Is a perfect example. You can easily get the top shot on some even D40 with 50 / 1.8G. Here's an easy one. All you need to do is find a field with flowers, a pretty model with a full-fledged expensive make-up, and then sit down for six hours to kill all the colors in the trash to spite all TRUE color lovers.

      • Kanybek Parmanov

        Arkady Shapovalov, tell me please, which device is better than the Canon 600D or 650D? Thanks.

        • Arkady Shapoval

          In the general case, 650D. But there is no fundamental difference between them.

    • Roman

      Brandon has a wonderful section on the website (and in Instagram too) - before and after. This is for the fact that DO nothing super-outstanding is needed. Yes, it has a full frame (D750, D800, D850) and only four lenses - 35, 50, 58, 85 by 1.4. But in principle, even on Canon with a budget set 24 / 2.8, 50 / 1.8, 85 / 1,8, you will get almost the same. Everything else is models, locations, light. No wonder he has the lion's share in the list of equipment - these are different light sources. Well, crazy, crazy processing.

      The equipment is secondary. Catch ideas, principles and techniques.

      • Iskander

        I looked at this section of Brandon. On most photos, shadows are highlighted, since the sources are underexposed. Is that right? After all, when brightening shadows, noise can come out.

  • Vladimir S

    Arkady, good afternoon!
    Please help with the choice of camera.
    I had three cameras: a Canon 350d, a Nikon d200, and I also shot for a long time on the Sigma DP3 Merrill.
    Of all three colors, I liked Sigma the most, to a lesser extent Canon and did not like Nikon at all (I got rid of it without regrets).
    Now I want a more modern camera, a little more megapixels, the ability to connect a tablet (I’m mostly shooting still lifes).
    Can you recommend a camera that is closer in color to the Canon 350d? If possible, then two options: cheaper and better, no matter how much it costs.
    Thank you very much.

    • 1Ds_mk3

      What set you had a good one about.
      If you need a good color right away and a good dd right away, take a look at 5d mk4.

    • Oleg

      If you take off / see the photo, you need a tablet or smartphone to support OTG, and any camera will do with USB. Well, buy an adapter for UBS, and that’s all, you can immediately drop the photo on the gadget after shooting or use it to view the photo on the big screen. It is convenient if the screen on the camera is weak, but you want to better understand what happened on the output.

  • Sasha

    Good day! choose between canon 70d. 77d. 80d (you need to raise money), which is optimal for photo shooting (possibly commercial) + video shooting, I want the best option, I can take body + sigma 17-50 or something else, or a kit + in the future buying lenses for these purposes. help with the choice, I can not decide !!! Thank you all for your help !!!

    • Alexander

      Take 80D and sigma 17-50 / 2.8 for a start, and then decide on the optics. Although ... if you turn up and pull a whale from 18-135 for money, it will be the best solution, both for photos and videos.

  • Sergei

    First time on your site, I have already read several articles and descriptions of several cameras and lenses. I am delighted. So briefly, clearly and clearly everything is stated, without abstruse phrases. Building articles with links is very convenient. While reading one article, I have already opened 7-8 links and will definitely read them. Thanks a lot for the blog.

  • SERGEI

    Arkady, good time of day!
    What is your opinion, if 7D turned up (not Mark 2, but just 7D) at a price of about $ 200 in good condition and with low mileage, such an acquisition is advisable (as the second, my main FF) at the end of 2019?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Yes, $ 200 is an affordable price. Usually the second camera is rarely used.

  • Liza

    Hello! At the moment, I'm an amateur, Canon 60d camera lens 18-55. I want to take pictures of children (portraits) of families. I plan to change, advise what is better to take, poorly versed in rulers

    • B. R. P.

      Canon 17-55 2,8, 85 1,8.

  • Nastya

    Hey. I have a question about how to choose a lens for the camera so that it is a good option. I looked at the options fotik, the first time I buy, a beginner. Of the options for this article, 1100d, 550d, 600d, 200d (I still don’t know for sure, but I want it to be budgetary and at the same time, the photos will be high-quality. I heard that a lot depends on the lens and that the whale is the easiest. Please advise which of these models may be the best option (I want to take more pictures of people, but sometimes landscapes, mb night shooting) and how to choose a better lens for this option. I would be grateful for your answer)

    • B. R. P.

      200d will be just right + Sigma 17-50 2,8. A tripod is desirable for night shooting.

    • Iskander

      Even cheaper - 100D, if you don't really need a rotary screen. If you take with a whale 18-55, then for portraits and night shooting you can buy something fast, for example 50-1.8 STM.

  • for

    At the moment, I have a Canon 1100d in very good condition (8K mileage), with a kit 18-55 IS II. And four batteries. From time to time, we hear from advanced users that the camera is - fu, the most simple one.
    I would like to replace it abruptly, but the eternal tension with money.

    The question is: should I twitch and look for something cheap and old on the Internet flea markets, from the category of "a little better", or the game is not worth the trouble? For example, now there are canons on sale 20d body for 65 dollars or 400d body even cheaper). Most likely, you need to change the batteries immediately.

    I do not plan to buy expensive lenses, except that I can put them through an adapter as a high-aperture portrait lens, Helios-44, from Zenit. That is, I will use the one whale and this one. Of course, I would like a lens with a larger focal length, but, for now, I don't know which one and why.

    The tasks are diverse, amateur (landscapes, portraits, photo shoots, people, photography items, etc.). I like to shoot sunsets and night shooting urban illumination. You may have to get a job, where, among other things, the need to be a photographer. But it is not exactly.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      20d is definitely not worth it. I don’t see the point of a new camera without a new lens. Better to invest in a new lens and squeeze the capabilities of 1100D.

      • for

        And what inexpensive lenses with a large focal length of 170 mm can be taken at 1100d?

        • Oleg

          55-250 for birds, 10-18 landscape, architecture, 50 / 1.8 can be called a conditional portrait for crop. You can see a bunch of 1100d plus 10-18 in an urban environment here:https://500px.com/qpxc8g3ejw Modern crop will give about 1 stop gain when shooting at high ISO, plus a little better with dynamic range. In fact, the modern 250d is not much different from the 1100d a little better with ISO, a rotary display, a nice look, the same 9 autofocus points. You have diverse tasks, maybe the station wagon 18-135 plus 50 / 1.8 for a portrait will be better for you.

          • Roman

            From a photographic point of view, yes, but even 200D is preferable for ease of use. I still have both, 1100D is my first camera, now a child is using it. I shot it for a long time and well, on occasion I’ll take it off now, but somehow it’s not very much. According to ISO - more stop, the noise is much more pronounced even at 3200.

            Petrovich, 55-250 IS II / IS STM will close your need for a television range and even migrate to a higher class camera. Any other telephoto lenses will be too bulky and heavy for this camera. 10-18 / 55-250 and the fix in the middle - 24 / 2.8 or, even better, 35 / 2.8IS STM - and you can remove almost everything including macro on a kit that fits in a small bag.

        • Arkady Shapoval

          From the budget - Sigma 70-300OSTamron 70-300 VC

    • Roman

      If you change, see something like 60D, 7D. Anything else just won't give you such a REAL advantage to pay for. Moreover, if you yourself do not feel what exactly you are missing and what you would like to improve, and the only reason for change is the opinion of others. Buy 55-250, 10-18, tripod, flash and polaric. They will stay with you even when you change the camera to a more advanced one, and in terms of quality and capabilities, they will give an order of magnitude more than a new camera.

  • Eugene (ZOV)

    Salute to all!

    I ask for recommendations on buying a camera from experienced photographers.
    Budget: up to 17 thousand rubles.
    Purpose: I made photo content of clothes for Instagram, small photo shoots, portrait shooting.
    I consider options: CANON 60D, 600D
    Experience: zero)

    Which camera is best suited for these tasks? Buy cheaper and it is better to take a lens to it?

    • Michael

      Anyone can take

      • Eugene (ZOV)

        Thanks for the detailed answer. Maybe there will be more thoughts?
        Alternative options?

        • karen

          17t is about 250 euros, for that kind of money you can easily buy a 5D mark 1. For portrait photos, an excellent camera, and if you also have good analog optics, for example, takumar 100mm f2,8 or takumar 135mm f2,5, then it will be great. This lens takes excellent pictures at a fully open aperture, I have it recently, but I can't get enough of it, I just took a picture today, the camera is 450D aperture 2,8

        • Roman

          The 60D is generally more functional, especially if you plan to shoot outdoors - security + a greasy battery. Autofocus is a little better. In all the rest, they are almost the same fotiki.

          If the task is to take pictures of cats and enjoy, you can take 5D and manual optics. You will drool anyway - you made a sharp shot, the photo looks better than on the built-in screen and so on.

          If for work - something newer, 60D and 600D are not bad options, you need to look at the price. On glass - if there is a whale - good, for it 55-250 and 50 / 1.8 will cover almost all your needs for the first time - both a portrait and an object. If there is no whale, then 24 / 2.8 and 50 / 1.8 will overlap the whale focal points + will give acceptable sharpness and high aperture. Well, 55-250 is quite good for the TV range. Further under the tasks. Or shirik, or makrik, or something concrete portrait.

          • karen

            Well, actually, I have a 5D mark 2 for serious photos, for example, like this one

            • Roman

              I'm so happy for you. Photos are taken not by a “full frame” or a “big pixel”, but by a photographer. And if we are talking about work, and not about cats and “serious photos”, then other factors are taken into account.

              The 5D is a very old camera with no Live View, an awful screen that's not rotatable yet, the inability to shoot video (which may be important) and a lot of wear and tear. Its only advantage today is the low price for a full frame. If it is taken consciously, i.e. I rent cats and I have no money (extra money) for something serious, that's one thing. And to advise a specific solution to everyone and everyone - excuse me.

              • karen

                Now it’s clear that the cats just hurt you, apparently you feel personal dislike)), hence their repeated mention, and the factor that Eugene doesn’t need a video and therefore the rotary screen, too (he made it clear what the camera is and what budget), this it doesn’t matter to you, and if you take into account the fact that on this branch you advise almost everyone to take the Canon 60D, then a suspicion creeps in that you or yours want to sell, or you have something from this)) Confidence about a large 5D run? My first I took with mileage 38k and gave it when it was 56k. Once again, a person has only 17t, and what you advise is beyond his budget. For 100 euros, I bought 3 Takumar lenses, and although I have no habit of drooling while shooting, I am very pleased with them. I would see what a modern portrait portrait you buy for 100 euros. Therefore, before blowing tips, it would be nice to get acquainted with the capabilities and purpose of acquiring a camera

              • Roman

                I love conspiracy theories. A man asks which of the two fotiks to take. I describe the difference between the two models. Come, you begin to methodically shove your 5D, which you somewhere managed to take with low mileage, your Takumaras, which you managed to take a whole bunch for a hundred dollars, but I have a vested interest.

                I never give advice on the principle: "I have cheap shit, I take it off the shelf once a year and I'm happy, take the same cheap shit as mine." I describe the advantages and disadvantages of each option. But from you no arguments other than “I have”, “I was lucky to buy” and “I am satisfied” no longer hear anything.

          • karen

            Eugene budget 17t, 60D stands as well as 5D mark1 200-250 euros, which makes the photos better than kropnutyh camera - ful Fram and high pixel. If you're lucky, you can buy a 5D even for 150 euros and spend 100 euros on lenses. Pancake 24mm 2,8 second hand costs 80-100 euros, already out of 17t, I'm not talking about the new 24mm with IC, that generally costs 200-250 euros, so it's not an option for Eugene. 60D generally take on a tight budget does not make sense, 50D, as for me, even better and cheaper. Therefore, my advice to him was a full 5D format with manual optics. The same penta 50mm 1,8 costs 20 euros and is 2-3 times cheaper than any of the 3 kenonovski 50mm 1,8 or less, and have enough money for the portrait of manual lenses - 100mm or 2,8 135 2,5-2,8 . This is the only way to keep within 17t and have a full-free and good optics. The only cheap and good whale - is 18-55mm with IS. All the others are low value is not worth taking

            • Oleg

              He needs a universal device, including clothing and shooting all predmetki. 5D without live view will be more difficult for a beginner. At 60D and 600D is not only live-twist, but also a rotary screen, which is convenient for shooting predmetki. In addition, a person probably has some experience of shooting on a smartphone and it will be more convenient for him to start shooting with a camera with live view. If we compare 60D and 600D, then 60D is higher level, the viewfinder is better, less often you need to enter the menu to change the exposure settings, the presence of a second screen from the top ...

              I have 5D myself, and this is a very good camera, but before that I had the same ancient crop to which I adapted, so switching to 5D gave me a plus in the full frame, in the absence of minuses (there was no live view before , the screen before was not so hot, ISO workers were even smaller, etc.).

              • karen

                For photographs of clothes, not a swivel screen, but a tripod would be better with a whale 18-55 is stm, this costs about 50 euros, or a 24mm pancake. And 50d will be no worse than 60d, and as a bonus - cheaper. I had almost all Canon cameras from 350d and 30d. The picture quality of 40d is not worse, and in some cases even better than 60D, so I don't see a clear reason for Evgeny to take 60D, especially with a limited budget, in addition, the baud quality after 50d only worsened and there is live view. But again, if there is no reason to take full, then 450d is a very good purchase, and the rest of the money can be spent on lenses, better fixes, pancake 24mm and 85mm. I do not work as a photographer, I take pictures for the soul. And I just keep the cameras like that, sometimes I change them. Here are a few of my Canon

              • Roman

                Photos of your cameras, photos taken with your cameras and knowledge of your biography are exactly what allows you to make a choice.

            • karen

              When a person is considering only, this means that it is open to other options, he's not writing, that really wants to buy 60d. I have already explained the reason for shoving 5d, a cheap full. I saw 5d and 200k mileage, which worked without problems, as well as 5d mark 2 with 300k mileage. I rant about - a man takes and not the camera - no. Here everything is simple, in the same conditions ful to make a better picture than the crop. The only advantage of Kropa - cheap Zuma. 300mm on a crop is like 480mm on a full, a lens with a 500mm focal length costs a lot of money. It turns out that takumar 135mm f2,5 or macro 100mm f4 is cheap shit? A bold statement, then lost all meaning to discuss with you the lens or the camera on something and end communication with you. Good luck ... ..

              • Roman

                In 2019, the manual optics, especially the old manual optics, can be removed for two reasons.

                1. You are a genius of photography. You absolutely don't care what to shoot with, you just want to stand out from others. You are well aware of the limitations and shortcomings of your lens, you are willing to put up with marriage (or have an amazing shooting experience, and not “shooting for the soul”). Your photos are really interesting, they carry a message, your models are beautiful or at least unusual, your colors and processing are great.

                2. You stupidly have no money for modern optics. Either there is no money at all, but the desire is strong, or there is money, but there is no desire to spend so much on a hobby. Therefore, you buy your bunch of takumars for a hundred and try to convince everyone around that this cat or this cabbage is on the open (because you will hide on a canon with a manual - this is not Zeiss) - this is IT. And all the photos immediately become thoughtful, serious and unhurried. And the light comes on: "Attention, the lens is working!"

                All this has little to do with reality. The task is posed and restrictions are imposed. Sometimes the quality restrictions are so severe that you can move up in price. Sometimes, on the contrary, the price is so significant that you can suffer with the manual. But believe me, when you go to shoot something that you need to shoot. instead of going from cabbage to cabbage, you need a convenient tool. Most likely autofocus, sometimes compact, sometimes inexpensive, sometimes fast, sometimes makrik - we stupidly don't know what a person needs. But not 5D + Takumar, because I have this and I am satisfied.

              • Pokemon

                2 Karen:
                5D is a good camera, I saw pictures from it and somehow thought to buy, but I was stopped by the fact that there are a lot of ushatny cameras with high mileage.
                We must pay tribute to the 5D with high mileage, sometimes it looks externally better than the D700 with high mileage and even more so than the D200.
                With zero experience and such a low budget, it is very difficult to advise a person if he decided to embark on the path of commerce.
                If there are serious orders, then a mirror from old age can simply fall off on 5D - and you can't take and determine the mileage from the first guy / 5D (emnip) yourself.
                I recommend Eugene (ZOV) to buy 200D / 250D and start with them. Yes, it is more expensive, but more effective. And then already move towards FF, if the need forces. He also needs to buy a tripod and light for the same clothes or portraits. From the lenses, well, for example, I took for myself for a start what I'm used to from Nikon (I have a pair of FF Nikon for something money) - namely Tokinu 28-70 / 2.6-2.8, maybe later I'll take Canon28-70 / 2.8 ... But this is all for the soul. It is still desirable to start with something good and modern, because the competition has intensified.

                Manual glasses certainly have an interesting pattern, but in order to see it and get comfortable with manual glasses, you need experience. And Eugene (ZOV), by his admission, does not have it.
                For beginners, it is better to take a camera with a whale glass and there already a person will figure out what's what, if need makes.
                Nikon D7000 with whale glass or Sonya A57 with a set of glasses will also fit in its budget. But I would not advise the D7000 to a beginner, especially for portraits or clothes.

              • karen

                For Pokemon. Eugene pointed to the two Canon cameras, and then asked - Maybe there will be more thoughts? Alternative options? - That's why I advised him the Canon 450D or 500D if you need a small initial DSLR. Or more advanced 40D and 50D. Do not forget about 17t, to meet this budget and even with a portrait lens, which is 85mm, you need inexpensive cameras. Whatever they say - 50mm 1,8 is not a real portrait lens. Hence the conclusion, analog lenses, especially of such a brand as Asai-Takumar, I knew them even when I photographed them on film, this is the rating of 100mm f4 lenses

    Good day. Potrіbna your dopomoga, nіyak not mozhu virіshiti scho buy. Mayu kenon 1100 і sony nex 3n + sigma30 2.8 .., I want to buy something newer and more beautiful (in the future for the commercial) і can't really buy yakiy kenon qi sony bzk. Soul to lie more to sleep BZK, so as I cringe with a nex more often it is easier to take a photo with myself and a photo befitting more than a canon 1100 and lie without a die. And if in the future you can take a photo commercially, then I am so cleverly clever about the canon and ob'єktivi are available. ??? The I pіdskazhіt Yakscho photo ROBIT in rezhimі Life View the principle of the UPC? Odrazu of matritsі? Yakscho canon of the Bajan dual pixel often bo tre vіdeo !?
    Help be-weasel opridіlitysya !!!!! Bo's head already hurts!

    • Andrii

      Plus, on neksi I dabble in manual old people about'єktiva and on sleepyhead it is even more manual. That і results and befits!
      І chi ми smysl odraz immediately brother ff ???

    • Arkady Shapoval

      These cameras are not suitable for commerce. Yes, it makes sense to take a full frame right away.

      • Andrii

        Tse I rosumіyu. Is power in that on a yakіy system? Kenon Chi Soni?

        • Alexander

          The same question, and I'm interested .. and whether it makes sense to go with Sony to Canon in principle ?!) I have the A57, A350, and basically Minoltovskaya optics and Soviet M42 ..., amateur, but very keen!))
          I watched different reviews, just see what the professionals are talking about .., everything is contradictory and individually of course ...)
          One very relishly praised Canon "edenichki" ..., and shoots their whole story on them .., I was already wondering about Canon ..., began to read, but got confused to death in this swirl of models .., probably no one else has seen such confusion)
          Therefore, the question arose ... is there anything in Canon that would make me want to become its user instead of Sonya ?!)
          I like the vidka of that mark..1dh, or ds) .., such a huge, impressive !!, it seems and does such pictures? ..))
          I'm not joking, of course, but quite naively asking. Here one canon are relatively inexpensive ... is there any sense to plunge into this line ?!) I'm not afraid of manual settings, because I have a very positive attitude towards old film cameras.

          • Pokemon

            IMHO, you probably will be closer ff Sony A7.
            *
            If you look at full-frame units, then 1Ds_mk2 almost everything that lies on flea markets has a serious mileage and it is very difficult to find a camera in good condition with mileage up to 100.000 frames. If you find it, it will not be cheap.
            1Ds_mk3 is easier to find with mileage of up to 100.000 frames, for this model in good condition they ask for more than for the previous one, but at least there is plenty to choose from.
            IMPORTANT nuance: 1Ds_mk2 mileage can be found out for yourself, while 1Ds_mk3 can not be found out by yourself, but you can tell the Canon service. This is very unnerving.
            Management on 1Ds_mk3 is more modern and ergonomic and much better organized than on 1Ds_mk2. Autofocus on 1Ds_mk3 is significantly faster and more accurate.
            On 1Ds_mk2, it just dies in room lighting.
            The batteries on 1Ds_mk2 are afraid of the cold and hold worse than on the new model.
            *
            About 1DX I will not prompt anything. But I really like the frames with 1DX_mk2, and someday I'll take it for myself.
            *
            I would also recommend looking at 5D_mk2. There are a lot of them on the secondary and they are very cheap.

    The best option for Canon, if there is no money for the full format, in my opinion it is 450D. Pros: not expensive, a carcass costs from 50 to 17-80 euros, 12MP sensor, which is quite enough (I would say 400D, but it has a shutter designed for 50k photos and a 2,5-inch screen), 3 inches screen, the shutter is designed for 100k pictures. I have a 450D, I use it with analog optics and a viewer

  • karen

    Sorry, I put the wrong picture, it's 40D, sometimes I use it with analog optics, but here’s 450D

  • KG

    Hello! Please advise which carcass is better to take within 1500 €.
    I can not choose from 6D Mark II, 90D and RP. I plan to gradually buy lenses separately.
    Fullframe available - Will the Fullframe or 90D be better than the 6D Mark II in terms of image quality?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Or 6D Mark II or RP. 90D - for further development - the road to nowhere.

      • KG

        Thanks Arkady. What can you advise for this amount? I’m already spinning my head.
        The Sony A7 II has a somewhat uncomfortable screen, and in general I want Canon. Already figured out a little with the lenses ...

        • KG

          And I realized, thanks!
          Now I will be determined: 6D or RP.
          6D wins with a battery, but there is no focus bracket, I won’t pull the price of lenses for RPs, and if I attach Sigma 70-200 to RPs with an adapter, there will be few freaks.

          • Arkady Shapoval

            5D mark III, 6D mark II + 24-105 / 4L, Sony a7 ii, a7 iii + tamron 28-75 / 2.8, Nikon D750 + 24-120 / 4. A lot of things
            Canon and Nikon mirrorless cameras are still expensive due to the small fleet of optics and the high price of these same optics. The issue with the adapter is another.

          • Roman

            On RP, you can also hang EF-S through an adapter for poverty. 6D2 is no longer there. The same 10-18 will be both easy and cheap, in comparison even with 17-40, and especially 16-35. This is if you need to shoot already here and now. Well, as the appearance of native optics is not an L-class to acquire it.

        • Roman

          It’s very bad to play from the amount, not from the task. The fundamentally incorrect setting, leading to suboptimal solutions. Do you want to shoot what and why? Commercial or home. Walking or pulling on vacation. And other, and other. Is battery life important? Are there any preferences for lenses. Moisture proof.

          • KG

            I want to shoot nature to a greater extent, in the sense of landscapes and macro.
            It’s just that I know myself and try not to buy cheap tools, because then I don’t know: a tool or a hand is crooked. If I am sure that it is in the hands, then I will try to learn. The option of a subsequent replacement with a more appropriate one does not fit, well, I'm not the seller. Then this stuff will be in the closet.

            I think all the same 6D M II. Here's the lens ...
            Let it be without zoom, but not to change it later.

            • Roman

              EF 100 / 2.8L IS Macro will remain relevant for a long time, even when switching to RF. Because when they release a similar one, yes, they will screw it up, but they will also beat the horse's price. You will get a good stub, all-weather resistance and a good portrait - makrik in one bottle. Given the sharpness across the field, long-range landscapes in full frame are not bad either. Subject. Pretty versatile telephoto.

              At a wide angle of 17-40 for your money, it is very good as a landscape-architectural shirik.
              As an alternative, the 35 / 2.0IS is very good as an everyday fast lens with a stub, relatively new. And to him is already something native or external at the wide end. In principle, a couple of 35/100 I would have removed a lot. Three of 17-40 / 4L, 50 / 1.8STM, 100 / 2.8L IS - almost everything.

              • KG

                Thank you Roman!
