Camera talk...

But 1st,pls grab a 1200D , its an absolute steal
If you can take amazing shots with a high zoom,I cant imagine what you will be able to do with a L series lens and a dslr

Yeah, there are lot of things in my buying list. Just that I am giving priorities to few things than a DSLR.
I have tried to get an used one, just that my price was little away from the buyer's offer. I am hoping one day I will buy one. Just that I don't know when it's gonna be.

 

[izzikio_rage]

Wait for it... I had tons of fun with my canon SX120. And even with a DSLR there are times when i miss it. So use it to the best

Seems like Nikon P900 is a super hit

Do Panasonic and Fuji have any idea of bringing their next bridge?

^ Even in this situation Akkies managed to buy one. Did you see his photographs?

 

[sujoyp]

2000mm equivalent...definitely need a tripod...or you wont get a single sharp pic after 1000mm depends on light offcourse

Someone you know have this cam?
Though the reviews aren't extremely good, it's sold out. The article is about 1.5 months old, I don't know whether it's because of high demand or low supply... If anyone just announces a bridge with very good spec, that will kill the sales of P900 when Nikon stocks it.

Canon needs to step up its game
Its easily the best camera company in my eyes but Nikon is really taking this range by storm now

Even Fuji makes some good bridges, sad that they are not that prevalent in India. Sony is kind of unheard in Bridge scene....even though have the best in class Bridge(RX10ii).

Overall, I think it's Sony now.....well atleast after A7RII, that thing focuses Canon lenses faster than canon(Lens problem....solved!!), can use PDAF for third party lenses, has Dynamic range unmatched by any camera......and is cheaper than the high-end Canon/Nikon models. I think they have nailed it, Mirrorless is the future.
(Practically, there is no advantage of a separate focusing sensor now, and hence no use of the complex mirror assembly, moreover, digital viewfinders show a more realistic output image.)

Sony's only drawback is the slippery grip of its mirrorless cameras
My dad had a Sony Nex before,no one was too comfy with its grip
which is why we all switched to DSLRs again
but they have truly mastered mirrorless cameras
pricey lenses though

Yeah, I agree about the price of lenses. (But there are some good lenses available from Sigma, Rokinon and Samyang for cheap)

I want to see sony calmly persistant on a single system..and adding more lenses....just 3-4 lens is not enough to attract people like us enthusiasts ...we want cheaper lenses too..
And canon lens will again need an adapter on sony..soo it is good for those who are jumping from canon to sony...but not sony users.

but adapters have high failure rates and issues usually from what ive heard
IS and Autofocus dont always work etc

Technically then you buy A7Rii.... xD. Well, that one is expensive, and Canon lenses will work like hell on any other Alpha, even with good adapters.
The only enthusiast Mirrorless out there there is A7(ii....because of sensor based image stabilization) series, personally I find my A6000 to be an upgrade from Bridge, but not exactly a camera which I can take out in wild without any fear of environmental factors.

It's Nikon's time, but don't know how long they gonna hold the front seat. It's alright to have a soft corner for a brand

Even Fuji makes some good bridges, sad that they are not that prevalent in India. Sony is kind of unheard in Bridge scene....even though have the best in class Bridge(RX10ii).

May be coz of low sales last year, Fuji bridges isn't making it to India. Ones in the shelf are pretty old and HS series is overdue for an announcement. I am wondering when they gonna announce. Sony does have bridge and they are still in the market, HX series.

They do have battery grip, you can get that

I want to see sony calmly persistant on a single system..

If they take considerable market share, hopefully they stick to it, I guess.

I take you're on cloud nine with your new Sony MILC.

I have always used ILCs/Rangefinders, the first one being NEX-6, before that, I had Zeiss Ikon(my family, not me..), and now A6000. I was planning to buy A7ii (not A7Rii), but since I am spending a lot on my already sponsored internship, I decided to tone it down a little, and go with A6000.
(Fuji...well I couldn't make myself fall for a 16MP sensor...regardless of the JPEG quality)

 

[kkn13]

Battery grips are a bit cumbersome for my taste
that reminds me
My friend bought a used 5D mkii with a battery grip this week,its huuge even without the grip
bit heavy for my taste but that full frame though!! I wish full frames were cheaper !! or even fisheye for that matter

true but its a great buy overall for those comfy with the grip and light size
personally I have big hands so I love bigger heavy cameras but not heavy like 5D,thats too heavy for me(both in hand and on pocket)

I was expecting something good on SX60 before announcement, but it wasn't good enough (at least to my expectation) after two years that's what Canon could come up with. I was kinda thinking that Panasonic would do the same with FZ300, it seems like they did (as of now just a rumour) it. Same sensor, same lens. The new one gets speedier AF, touch, wifi and significant thing would be 4k. If anything gonna save it, that would be 4k (if the rumour happens to come in real). We will see...

 

[sujoyp]

I want a small full frame from nikon ...it should have F mount ...these D750 and D610 are still heavy...and one would definitely use pro lenses which will have f2.8, f4 apertures...the combo will be more heavier

 

[izzikio_rage]

Id want something like a sony a7 II, which is small, light, full frame and has in body image stabilization. You can pair it with quite a few lenses, even primes that typically do not have image stabilization and use them to the max. Plus a series of good adapters like the metabones to mount all lenses
