Low light camera?
Mar 9, 2022 18:54:21 #
Could I please have some suggestions for the best lowlight Canon under $3000. I have a T3i with a selection of lenses so something that would accept my lenses would be ideal but not imperative. TIA

What's wrong with your T3i? You might want to identify specifically your lenses and maybe post a problematic example of how you're shooting in lowlight today and which lens(es) are involved. All those actions are free and might serve to save you $3000.

A Canon 6D is a good choice but it is FF so your APS-C lenses will not work. An 80D would also be a good choice and it will take your lenses

If you can provide an example of where your current camera is failing you, it would be easier to make some meaningful recommendations. In general, good low light/high ISO performance is not associated with crop sensor cameras. Full frame cameras will almost always do a better job. Bear in mind that your camera was released in 2011, and almost every camera currently in production will outperform it, even crop sensor cameras. The question is - what are you trying to capture that you cannot with the T3i?

Crop sensor lenses will certainly work on a full-frame body, you just do not get the full benefit of an FF snesor.

Not if they are Canon lenses. EF-S (crop) lenses will not mount on Canon FF bodies.

Canon ef-s (crop sensor) lenses will not attach to the Ef (full frame) mount
The lugs are different on the mount and the lenses are different depth.
On the other hand full frame Canon lenses will attach to the crop sensor cameras because they have dual attachment points for both size lens mounts.

You can use both EF and EFs lenses on a R6 with the adapter, or benefit from the RF lenses native to this excellent low light camera. I have used it for some astrophotography and am very happy with its performance.

Yes with an adapter although one comment was saying that crop sensor lenses will fit on a full frame directly.
The crop sensor ef-s sensor is substantially smaller than the full frame sensor.
This is why the ef-s lenses I have for my old Canon 50d will not fit on my Canon 5d.

For me I bought the canon r6 with the adapter.
You might want to try the trial versions of On1 nonoise and Topaz denoise first. See the links below for comparisons..

Nikon D3s is the KING of low light. PERIOD, END OF STORY.

Using Google, I didn't find anything to meet your demands, mainly financial. You can get low light or low price, but not both.

I found my 5D IV has been great for me. A thought on the R cameras, the R5 has about twice the pixels as the R6, and with the more pixels in the same area the R6 (less pixels are larger) and are better for noise at higher ISO.
