【Lifestyle】Introduction to Photography and Reasons to Choose Canon EOS RP

A while ago, my daughter was born on a whim, and I wanted to buy a single-lens camera to record my daughter's life. For such a high unit price product, the more and more difficult it is to choose, the more information you read, the more difficult it is to start. Considering the burden and brand , There is also the difference between parallel imports and companies or companies. For the original photographers, they may be used as a plate by those photography veterans, but after reading so many articles, no one has clearly pointed out which camera they would recommend for new photographers. A camera.

Selection criteria

type

For those who want to choose a single-lens camera from the beginning, the goal is of course to search for the recommendation of a single-lens camera, but after looking at it, another choice will appear, a full-frame digital single-lens camera.

Before seeing the entity, the advantage of judging from the data is that it is small in size. Because there is no traditional scorpion structure, the fuselage will be thinner and lighter, making it easy to carry. In addition, because the photosensitive element is a bit larger, the effect of night shooting will be much better than that of traditional single-lens cameras.

Because it is a relatively new type compared to traditional SLRs, I finally chose a full-frame SLR as the first digital SLR, but the price is relatively high. If it is a traditional single-lens camera, canon has an EOS 850D . The cheapest body and lens can be around 24,000 (parallel imports), which is a relatively cost-effective choice.

I don’t think about the single-eye camera. I think it may be more convenient to hold the phone better. After all, the differentiated feeling it brings is not so obvious, and it feels more redundant.

brand

In addition to the three major brands Canon, Nikon and Sony, online search will also find brands such as FUJIFILM, Olympus, Panasonic, etc. My choice of cameras is not the same as that of cars. I would rather choose the ones that are used by many people. After all, I usually hold There are very few people who travel with a single-lens camera, so there is no need to worry about the problem of stopping at a red light and getting together, so I started from the three major brands.

Canon

In the initial search for information, the Canon EOS 850 D was also on my pocket list. Its target customer group was originally a novice photographer. It was considered a lightweight starting price. Including the 18-55mm travel lens recommended for beginners, Canon and Nikon will be better in terms of price-friendly options. Sony is really not for beginners.

Nikon

When I told my colleagues that I wanted to buy a single-lens camera, their first recommendation was Nikon. This brand is popular with the public, and many people have a good reputation. Moreover, its entry-level camera is more affordable, and the Nikon D5600 is a parallel product. Even if it is less than 20,000, it is very kind to the petty bourgeoisie who want to step into the field of single-lens cameras, and it is also a successful product positioning.

But in the end, there are two reasons for not choosing it. The first is that its launch time was in 2017, and it has been four years since 2021. It feels a bit long, and the second is that its operation interface looks really bright, and it is coming You don't want to have it. Everyone knows that consumption is divided into want and need. The camera itself is no longer a "need", and it can't even have a "want".

Sony

This is really not a recommended brand for entry-level monocular cameras, so I don’t have any special attention. This time I want to write an article and go back to check Sony’s entry-level monocular camera. I found that there is a Sony A7M2 that can be bought for less than 30,000, but , it is a product from 2014. It is really not ideal to buy a technology product so long ago, so I will ignore it.

If Sony wants to buy a full-frame camera, you can't buy it for less than 40,000, and it's still a relatively old style. It's not too late to make a pilgrimage when you really have the experience of photography.

Parallel imports, company goods

The price difference between company goods and parallel imports can be as low as 5,000 yuan, which is really a hesitant point for people with a small budget. In the end, I chose the company's product, and I still hope to have a little more protection, so as not to encounter too many problems when sending it for repair.

For the maintenance of the company's goods and parallel imports, the general agent in Taiwan can do it for you, but the charging standards are very different. If you are interested, you can refer to it ( understand the three major differences between the company's goods and parallel imports at one time ), I don't think my camera is so Fortunately, there is no possibility of sending it in for repair. Compared with Guisensen's camera maintenance cost, it is better for me to spend an extra 5,000 yuan to avoid large expenses in the future.

finance

Financially, I think it's acceptable if the next one is less than 1/10 of my salary, so I will save money and find a way to open source.

Based on the above considerations, I finally chose the Canon EOS RP full-frame digital SLR camera, which will be launched in 2019. The company's body + RF24-105mmf/4-7.1 IS STM entry-level travel lens set was originally purchased for 41800, but now I can't find this price anymore, momo's buyers will include some gifts, some are very practical and some are cheap, just to make you feel a little bit more cost-effective.

out of the box

When I buy a camera on momo, the delivery speed is really fast. I order it in the morning and it will arrive in the afternoon. I don’t even have time to regret it. It would be nice if the iPhone pre-order could be so fast. It is rare to see that the same store sells so many 5~10 units. At most, one is waiting for you to buy. The difference will be in the gifts they send, and usually this store will not restock after it is sold out. , it is difficult to find a store with the exact same content. The Canon EOS RP I bought this time has the following contents in addition to the body and lens, which I personally think is quite cost-effective:

content

• • body
  • RF24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM Lens
  • UV Protector
  • Lightweight aluminum alloy tripod + mobile phone clip (super impractical)
  • Canon dedicated remote control
  • shutter release
  • Decompression harness for single eye
  • original camera bag
  • Camera cleaning group (similar to the laptop, can be shared)
  • Secondary factory battery and charger
  • 128G memory card

In principle, the necessary things to choose a camera on the Internet are the memory card and battery. The camera bag is also very important. You can ask the store to see if it comes with a bonus. Other things are not so necessary. Among the above gifts, I think it is the least. All I need is a tripod. The tripod provided by the store is so unstable that I can't even put the camera on it. If it falls down, I really have to send the camera to the original factory for repair.

The UV protection lens is another thing that I think is very practical. It is to add a glass cover in front of the lens to protect the lens itself, so that the lens can be photographed in a protected state, and a protection cover can be directly installed on the protection lens, so there is no need to do any more. Disassembly is reassuring.

It is very important to have an attached battery and a memory card. Some stores have to purchase it. It is about a few hundred pieces. Basically, the battery life of the original battery is not very strong. It is necessary to have an extra battery. Shooting, if you don't include these two, there is probably no other choice except that you have a single-lens camera that you can use.

Reviews

Cameras with reversible lenses in the early years were a very novel design. Now almost every camera has such a function, which allows you to shoot from top to bottom and from bottom to top without having to climb too high or squat. Especially low, it can be said to be a very thoughtful design.

Another great thing is that now the screen is touch-sensitive, just like a mobile phone, where you want to focus, just click on that spot on the screen. If you are afraid of scratching the screen, buy a screen protector and stick it on it. Everything is beautiful.

In the upper right knob part, I only use automatic mode and situational mode, and I am not very good at more advanced photography skills such as adjusting shutter time, ISO and so on. As for the part of situational mode, there are actually children photography that can be used. The goal It shows more lively and active children, and the photos will not be too blurred when moving. Simply speaking, it is dynamic photography. It is really a thoughtful design for the handle. As for the more commonly used, it is probably the portrait mode. Others, currently Not often used yet.

The 4K images recorded in the recording part are very textured. After all, the difference between upgrading from a mobile phone to a full-frame digital monocular is quite large, so everything is quite impressive and satisfying.

Compared with traditional single-lens cameras, the weight part is really full. It is completely unburdened to hold in one hand, and it is extremely lightweight. For us who are not professional photographers, the easier it is to use, the more useful it is. Its power, if When I go out, I have to carry a bunch of luggage and a heavy camera, so I don't want to take him out for a long time.
