Photography
A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.
Entry level that still takes good pics: I only know nikon, so I'll say the d3500. It can be had pretty cheap and still takes outstanding photos
Nikon 3500 and the 18-55 afp.weighs 10g more than my leica iiif and summitar.
Great choice - cheap, but capable of great photography. The D5600 is also quite compact, and can probably be obtained cheaply. Lots of good DX F glass is out there, too. For someone just starting and who wants a light kit, the VR kit lens (I want to say 24-55mm?) might be a good way to go. Should be dirt cheap used, and the VR will help a lot for a new shooter on a body with no IBIS. Lots of room to expand from there.
What are you taking photos of while out riding? What about your phone is limiting?
I don't do much more than some quick snapshots of things I find interesting (for Stories and maybe a hard post somewhere down the line) so my phone is good enough for that.
I do take my DSLR places on my bike to take photos but rarely keep it assembled and ready to shoot something right away.
Canon 6d remains the best value dslr period. Pair it with the 50mm 1.8 stm and you’re off to the races with a full frame beginners kit for around $500.
What do you find limiting? What are you photographing?
Scenery, buildings , cars
I just feel my phone (samsung s20) can't do anything that's not close range/ quality isn't amazing
Hasselblad h6d with the 150mp back. You won’t regret it.
You might need a bike trailer though.
