I have Canon equipment now and it looks like Cameta Refurbs are Nikon. Thanks anyway.
I ordered from the Canon Store.
After hearing all the good things about refurbished cameras, I decided to order a SL2 for my Christmas gift. The web site said it was in-stock and I could get Free 2 day shipping. Sounded great.. but after a week, I called to check and they say it is backordered. It is still listed as in-stock on their Web site. Disappointing to me. Looks like a late Christmas gift.
Latin is a long maze
Or at least it used to be
First it killed the Romans
Now it's killing me
All are dead
Whoever wrote it
All are dead
Whoever spoke it
All will die
Who try to learn it
Blessed dead
They surely earn it
I am impressed with your album and how sharp everything is. Fantastic job.
I have tried several of my lenses on the T3i, from the 50mm, 18-55, 24-80, 24-105 and 55-250. Most are Canon lenses with a Tamron in the mix. The Sony has a Zeiss lens. I bought the camera used.
I have tried many settings on the Canon but mostly unsatisfied with them. The T3i is 18mp and the Sony is 20mp, but that shouldn't make that much difference.
I don't have GAS, yet. I have too much invested in the Canon equipment.
I realize the difference between the cameras. I don't mind changing lenses, (been doing that for over 50 years). The Sony belongs to my wife. Just disappointed with the big difference in sharpness between the 2 cameras. Why should the bridge camera be so much sharper?
I have been doing some comparison between the picture quality of these 2 cameras. I really like all the features of the Canon but the sharpness of the Sony is so much better. I have tried several lenses on the Canon but can't get the sharpness, no matter what mode or setting I use. The Sony in auto mode just blows away the Canon. I'm not sure what the answer might be.
Now if the Sony would do RAW....
Any suggestions for me?
I worked as a Camera repairman for about 15 years, so I know how they are supposed to work. I belonged to a Camera Club for at least that long a time. I have read the manual(s) many times but one of my limitations is physical.
My left hand and arm are the result of a stroke. So the only usage I have is with my right hand and it is difficult at times.
I love my photography and after about 50 years, it is still fun. Only problem I have is, the more I learn, it seems like the less I know. Always learning but then new problems always seem to raise it's ugly head.
Thank you for the kind comments. One-hand operation is certainly a problem. Decent lenses are heavy and more difficult to hold. Next time we do a Cruise, I will let the wife do the shooting on the ship. She can hold the camera better and also has an artistic eye.
I have the Sigma 18-250 lens also but it is heavy and difficult to use with one hand. It's nice on a tripod but on a ship, the tripod was not convenient.
Some were better and some were not. It was a mixture of good and not so good.
I was using the best resolution available with the camera so I don't think that was the problem.
The only filter on the lens is a UV filter
