Travel Photography: d800 or 5d mark iii?

enxenogen · 2012-05-25T19:15:04.606408+00:00

FWIW, I take my 5DII on short (1-week or less) urban trips all the time. I don't know if I'd take it on an extended hiking trip, but it's certainly do-able for some.

Either is a great camera. To debate the difference is to split hairs.

Personally, I would consider a used Canon 5D Mark II, you'd save well over $1000 and get all the camera you'd really need. Spend the savings on the trip.

EDIT: I'd really consider a recent-model APS-C crop sensor camera body for an extended trip, if I didn't already own a Mark II.

The photojournalist that I know earned a graduate degree from Columbia School of Journalism.

For me, the amount of Don's personal life in any episode is inversely proportional with my enjoyment of it.

Less Don's personal life = better episode for me.

There's a bunch of chain restaurants in Seekonk. :-(

Almost five o'clock, time to go home.

Just as long as it's good. I don't care if it's faithful or not. Either way can be interesting.

Used Panasonic TS1 or TS10? Waterproof, but doesn't have GPS, though. GPS is too new of a camera feature to be available for cheap on used cameras. I'm sure you can find a used GPS logger for cheap, though.

While you're shopping, why not pick up an Opteka wireless remote trigger for only $8. Heck, pick up one for each camera bag, and a spare or two.

I have heard good things about Boinx iStopmotion for OSX.

Of course, now you're going to tell me you are a Windows user.

Ah, you left out that important detail. Egg timer and Powershot camera with CHDK. Good to know.

Expose to the right. Use high ISO. Shoot wide open. Consider converting your images to black and white.

I always assumed that they bought stock photos, but ... who knows.

AmateurPhotographer · 2012-05-24T19:55:31.624616-07:00

The tricky part is the "time-lapse function on your camera". Most cameras don't have one.

Pentax, Ricoh, and Chinon all shared the same mount AFAIK.

P&S images should not blur in good light. Maybe your hand shakes?

Develop the film. Scan the film. Make 3D wiggle gifs.

More wiggle gifs.

Aka wigglegrams.

Used Canon 20D or 30D. (don't confuse 30D with D30, they are not the same. The D30 is older. It will do the job, but it's not as good as the 30D).

Back-button autofocus is like having manual focus when you need it, and autofocus when you need that. Try it for a solid two weeks. Once you get used to it, you'll never go back.

Yeah, because airline prices are not high enough as it is.

Wait, who's "our" and "their" in your statement?

Yeah, except for the fact that you have an official state religion.

During the height of the AIDS crisis in the 1990's, you could find some really good bargains on fashionable mens clothes at thrift shops all over New York City. :-(

For what it's worth, I was listening to the "Breaking Bad" podcast, and almost every minor character's name is a reference to some movie character or real life person. It's just what writers do.
