GAS attack new camera quest
Nov 11, 2019 12:35:41 #
I WILL say one thing. My daughter started out with a p&s and cell phone camera and took a lot of photos and showed not only aptitude but interest. For one thing, she had a great subject....my grandsons!! Eventually she came to the conclusion that she wanted a better camera. Now, that's how it worked with MY daughter, who is an adult. It doesn't alway work that way. Sometimes there are situations, like the OP's where an individual needs to just jump in to that "better camera" because of the need of the work.
Note: Julie has continue to work with her DSLR and shown continual improvement as she's learned the intricacies of an advanced camera.

Change things up. get yourself a pocketable Point and shoot like the Sony RX100 or one of the Panasonic P&S. You would be surprised at the portability and quality of their images.

Why not go all the way, a D500 with the 200-500 mm lens. Now go out there and get all the shots you have been missing with the D7100 w/80-400 lens.
Use GROUP AUTO FOCUS on the D500 for a superior focusing system, you do not have that on your D7100.

Please leave the comments. I think it brought up an interesting perspective about how integral photography now is to a younger generation, but with a caveat. The caveat is that the phone is now the camera and our notion of the importance of a traditional camera is probably out dated. How pictures are integrated into culture is also very different. It was, additionally, a nice perspective on grand parenting. It is likely written enthusiastically, making the tone seem harsh, but I appreciate the perspective.

I’m fine with him having an opinion and voicing it, but the critical tone was rather harsh and unnecessary.
Given his location, that is what you can expect. The liberal west coast states of this country are filled with people who adhere to a strict guidance of following the social code. They are afraid to look out of place, and are limiting the growth of a healthy social policy. There is no room in their liberal mind set of seeing things in a different light. That is why he wants his granddaughter to be a follower, it is easier than standing out and being different. We should all feel sorry for this person's weakness, and stand strong in not allowing this feebleness to affect us!

Why not get her a refurb D7500 with Tammy 18-400, and you keep what you presently have?

I like the Nikon D7500 with the Nikon 10-20mm, and the Tamaron 18-400mm.
I use the 24mm quite a bit on the Tamron 10-24mm.

You do certainly have some investment in DSLR Photography, and a very generous Grandfather too. Myself can only afford "1" Nikon D3300 with the 18-140 lens, a 50mm 1.8g, a 35mm1.8g. Which I consider a expensive investment for myself. I Would consider myself an Advanced Beginner now, still learning from others like you.

You are the reason good people drop of the Ugly Hedgehog. The man stated a simple fact yhat he was giving his Granddaughter a camera she could work with and you turn it into a negative. I've done the same thing with my Granddaughter and she loves it. You my friend obviously don't have kids or Grand kids or or if you do, they are not very appreciative to a gift. That is your problem.

The naysayers see failure in every opportunity. The successful buy a new camera.

Thanks for bringing politics into the discussion because that's exactly what I want to read about in a photography forum.
