    Re: QOTW: Which camera do you use to take photos?

    Canon 6d and 70d, with lenses ranging between 17mm-600mm.

    Mostly shoot with my 17-50, 24-70 and 70-200 f2.8s but my 150-600mm is great for sports (960mm on the 70d).

    My Huawei P8 in manual mode which does for when I don't take my cameras out.

    Hmmm lots of questions from Hexus lately about what stuff we own. Hope they aren't planing a robbing spree.

    Question next week : So what type of security product is on your house? Whats your favourite alarm code.

    My phone. The best camera in the world is the one you have with you.

    Re: QOTW: Which camera do you use to take photos?

    The camera I use depends on what type of photo I'm taking.

    I entirely agree with ...

    .... but for me, the solution is to make sure I have the right camera with me. I have yet to see the phone that is as good as even a half-decent point and shoot and, as a keen photographer and a phone-sceptic, you're FAR more likely to catch me carrying a half-decent super-compact than a phone. In my case, either a (sort-of) Leica-lensed Panasonic, or my larger but venerable old Olympus C5050. Or, a MUCH larger, superb-quality but limited resolution Olympus P20.

    You might even catch me with with a 1970's manual Canon SLR, or a 90's auto-focus Canon SLR both of which are 35mm. In very rare cases, you might even catch me with a 645 medium format camera.

    Then, on other occasions, it'll be in infra-red conversion supplied, and highly competently converted by, out very own g8ina.

    But most commonly, it'll either be that Panasonic (TZ25, IIRC) or my Canon DSLR and lenses. Given that my main hobby is macro, it'll often either be a 100mm 2.8 macro, or MP-E65 super-macro, supported as ne essary by an MT-24EX Twinflash.

    All that is supported by a range of accessories, from filters to teleconverters to extension tubes.

    Then, there's a variety of other 'collector' type cameras, from an ancient box Brownie to Minox 'spy' camera and a fantastic but 'hard to get film for' Voightlander.


    In other words, most of the time, the camera I have with me is determined by what I'm seeking to use it for. A phone is great for snaps, but very limited indeed, or outright useless, in many more challenging photographic situations.

    Re: QOTW: Which camera do you use to take photos?

    I would like to have a nice camera but, whenever I have some money to spend on something new, my PC has an extraordinary ability to hoover it up and nothing else gets a look-in...

    Mostly my LG G4, unless I've went out with the specific intention of taking a photo of something or going to an event/occasion that may be photo worthy, at which point it would be my Sony A58, with the kit lens.

    I have my S6 phone for spur of the moment, a Sony RX100m1 for "probably need the camera" days and trips to the beach then my Sony ILCA-77M2 with either the 16-50 SSM or 70-300G SSM lens depending.

    Re: QOTW: Which camera do you use to take photos?

    I like photos, but really can't be bothered to learn how to do it properly (I've got other time consuming activities - ie kids, motorbike, gaming) So I just use a Kodak Pixpro AZ526. I wanted more than just a point and shoot, but not too much. 52x zoom, 16m, manual modes, and wifi so I can use my phone as a remote. Suits me fine :-)
