Is a TIFF file larger than a RAW file? I thought the RAW file was, considering that it holds all the information the sensor picked up.
Thanks for clarifying the taking versus making photos. For one who feels that innate sense, it'll help me in my choice of what equipment to get.
I don't think you can use a tripod in New York City. Better check it out before you pack it.
Did you try looking on You Tube?
This is a very interesting discussion going on here. I'm curious to know how you index all your photos. Are they searchable or do you just date and label the folders as to what the contents are?
Thanks, I'm fortunate that I live in New York City. I'll be going to Adorama and B&H and the others to try things out. I'm in no hurry. Maybe I'll be ready by the time Black Friday comes along.
I had a Canon AE1 I bought in 1979 and a 100/200 zoom lens I bought later. I have a tripod and a monopod. The Canon and lens were stolen almost 20 years later. That hurt.
DX is for crop sensor bodies, and FX is for full frame, right?
Thanks for all the links. They're already helping to reduce confusion.
I had a Canon AE1 for years until it was stolen. Several years after I bought a Konica Minolta bridge camera which was good but limiting without the ability to change lenses. The subjects I'm interested in are cityscapes and portraits. Plus, I'd like to have a good macro lens.
I've been reading about mirroless cameras. And what I've read says that they are smaller. I have fairly large hands. That could be a problem.
I like to photograph cityscapes and portraits. As far as money goes, I think $1000 is the very max I'm willing to do.
Posted last night and I don't see it in My Topics. So, here goes again: l am looking for a little wisdom about investing in a camera that is more camera than I need right now, with an eye towards the future where I expect to need more than an entry level DSLR. Any thoughts? Money is a factor of course, but a few hundred more makes better sense now, instead of needing to by a whole new system later.
