oki.. That sounded kind of harsh. It almost made me teared.. But i still thank you for the advice... I wont get a full frame cam.
Hello, enzii. Firstly a warm welcome to you!
Actually, what Rashkae says makes a lot of sense.
Eh, don't feel disheartened... not that you can't use a 5DMkII as a newbie.
Let's use an analogy - does it mean that a brand new driver can't buy a Mercedes Benz (or a Porche, or a Ferrari etc. etc..) to use just because he is new? No, right?
Just that if you drive a Mercedes, some of the finer touch of the drive, the responsitive-ness, the road holding etc. etc.. the new driver may not appreciate it.
Therefore I guess that is why seniors in CS would usually recommend an entry level camera.
If you like Canon - sure, go ahead and get a 500D, a 50D to shoot until you are so familiar with the way the Canon system works, how it response to your tweaking of the parameters, how you hold the camera, how responsive is the shutter button...
When you then buy the 5DMkII (by then maybe MkIII), you will value it like crazy.
.. I hope I make sense...
Really easy to understand. :thumbsup:
hi.. Need some help here. Is it ok for someone who just get to know how a dslr function to use 5d mark II and learn using a full frame cam? Would really appreciate ur help.. Cause i reli like 5d.. And really wanna get it but aint reli sure if i should..
Rashkae: no... Not cause of itchy hands. Just that i've seen pictures taken by it.. And i like it's aperture effects..
Hey hey hey... (hahaha...) if you say you like the 5DMkII, because of the 'aperture effect', then you are going to kena scolding again liao...
It's not the camera, enzii... it's the lens..Remember remember...:bsmilie::bsmilie:
Thanks alot. Feel veri comfortable talking with you.. I mean the depth of field.. Just im not sure.. So im asking here before such big investment.. And kind of stunt by the replies.. But i still thank you thank you alot!
What do you like about it? Do you need it's functions? For you, what can it do that a smaller-sensor cam can't? Do you even have the skills to utilize a semi-pro cam like that? Or will you be totally lost in the functions and controls?
In the end it's your money. You want to buy a 5DMkII? Go ahead. You feel it's best for *you* to learn on it? Go ahead. We can't tell you what to do with your money.
Thanks alot. Feel veri comfortable talking with you.. I mean the depth of field.. Just im not sure.. So im asking here before such big investment.. And kind of stunt by the replies.. But i still thank you thank you alot!
In Canon context, I think of it this way for 5D MK2.hi.. Need some help here. Is it ok for someone who just get to know how a dslr function to use 5d mark II and learn using a full frame cam? Would really appreciate ur help.. Cause i reli like 5d.. And really wanna get it but aint reli sure if i should..
Rashkae: no... Not cause of itchy hands. Just that i've seen pictures taken by it.. And i like it's aperture effects..
Same thing. DOF (Depth Of Field) also is mostly dependent on your lens and its widest available aperture. (There are other factors contributing to DOF - sensor size and its relation to Field Of View, distance of the lens to the subject, and such and such... not so much your camera body. but you will slowly learn as you read more into the forums.)
But it seems to me that you need a bit of more intensive work out in the basics despite you having the 500D for a while.
Just go to the newbie section. There are a few 'stickies' there that hold articles and postings from experience photographers that teach the basics of DSLR.
Very harsh!! Respect ur choice if one day u might need the function. N of cos if u have the $$$.....
