Camera Help

A tripod will allow you to keep the ISO at its best setting - 100.

I do have a Tripot but if there are movements I can't keep the ISO in 100

You can get a fast prime lens, i.e. 50mm f1.8 and shoot wide open. What lens are you using now?

I have the 50mm f/1.8

How are your processing skills? What are you using? From what I see, your shadows seem very dark.

I love my 60d!!! Wireless flash control and a lot of other "pro" features. Really loved the price $$$!!! The cropped sensor and lack of micro auto-focus will send the so-called professional photographers running, but in some cases a cropped sensor will outperform full-frame depending on lens choice. Remember a camera needs both the frame and lens to perform together for the best images. I got a great deal on a 60d and a 24x105mm L series glass. While the 24x105 works great on a full-frame, there are some issues like a lack of sharpness in the corners and significant barrel distortion, however, when paired with a cropped sensor the image is tack sharp all the way to the corners and barrel distortion is almost eliminated.

So in the final analysis choose your lens, camera, flash, and other equipment so they perform their best as a complete unit, and you will save money, time, and grief in the long-run.

Good luck!!!

btw...don't forget to allow for the crop factor on your focal range when buying the cropped sensor cameras. For instance a 24x105 on a 1.6 crop would be actually a (24x1.6) and (105x1.6) = 38.4 x 168mm. This reduces the wide angle but extends the zoom a little too.

switch it to manual, or P, move the iso down. i don't know what the noise levels are on those cameras, i'm betting its close to the same. because my 1600 was just about usable on my 5dmk2. on the mark 3 10,000 is usable. look at the reviews and the high iso samples at 100%.

also use a fast prime lens if your shooting at night.

Thank you for your answers.
So about the cameras I said, does anyone here have experience with those? And tell me some advantages and disadvantages you might have realised?

i had the 20d. the rest are more advanced. chances of someone having that same camera you have will be low, many either have the same size, nikon or pro cameras. still the best way is to go to dpreview or some place like that and he will tell you what's what. still i think you should play with the camera and find out how to change your iso, you'll run into the same issues with those.

on dpreview the 700d has the silver award

i have 600d, i vote for nikon

Jump over to the "dark" side (a.k.a Nikon) so that you can see the light at the end of your lens ;)....couldn't resist...

On a more serious note, have you considered renting the cameras that you have identified as potential candidates for purchase? Lensrentals.com offers good prices on rentals and doing this will give you an opportunity to "test drive" the system before you actually purchase it. Just a thought...My disclaimer, i'm not affiliated with Lensrentals.com in any form or fashion. Just a happy customer who loves their customer service and products.

Cheers!

Daniel, if you decide on a new camera wait for a couple of weeks until after Photokina; Canon, Nikon etc will introduce new models then (mid September) which might mean discounts on older models or the possibility to buy the latest of the latest.

If high ISO is what you want, the Nikon DF and Sony A7S are the cameras to beat at the moment.

What do you think about cameras like the canon eos m or the Nikon 1?

Do you already have a collection of lens? Professionals often pick a system because it offers a specific lens that they need. A good lens will serve you for 20-30 years while the body is maybe good for five.

I have 3 lenses for canon

So What do you think about cameras like the canon eos m or the Nikon 1?

If you have three Canon lens, that narrows down your choice. I don't know anything about the EOS M. Why does it attract your attention? What features does it have that you are currently missing?

i never even heard of those other cameras. just make sure the lenses are compatible. and yeah, if your going to nikon, you need new lenses, if you have a flash, a new flash. none of that is compatible with each other. once your in the family, you stay there, unless you really have to switch.

Daniel, what will be your primary subject matter?

While the Nikon 1 series offers the advantage of being lightweight, there are some other drawbacks you'd have to consider. One of your requirements was good high ISO performance. With the Nikon 1's using the CX sensor (the other two are Nikon FX and DX), you will be dealing with a sensor that offers a increased depth of field (2.9 stops to be precise) when compared to the DX or FX formats. In addition, i'm unsure how the high ISO performance of these cameras are as i've not used one. With a sensor size of 13.2 mm x 8.8 mm, you'd have to be using very good shot discipline to squeeze out the maximum performance from these small sensors in low light.

If you give us an idea about your subject matter that might help with the recommendations.

Cheers!
