Hi everyone.
I recently sold my Nikon D3100 with my one and only lens, the 18-55mm kit lens. I want to upgrade to a new camera, and it can be of any brands or even mirrorless camera if it fits my budget.
What i'll probably be doing is Landscapes/Cityscapes, a little bit of street photography too. Being a design student, I might have to take photos of products and record some videos for school projects.
My budget for the camera body is probably not more than S$1300 and the lens for not more than S$600. I already bought a MeFoto tripod and couple of ND filters.
May I ask what suggestions do any of you have?
Personally, I scaled down my choices to a Canon 70D, Nikon D7100 or the Fujifilm XE-2.
I chose the 70D for it's lens, and also the video quality that might come in handy in school projects. However, what I'm unsure of is that whether the 70D will work well in night photography of cityscapes. And also, whether the image quality will be good for my style of photography. (Landscapes/Cityscapes/Street) For the Canon 70D, I scaled down my choice of Lens to the 10-18mm STM lens, and also 50mm f1.8 for the sake of some street photography for it's price. The total cost of the lens will be around $500 and $1300 for the body. Which fits in my bill. What I'm unsure of is just the image quality for landscape/cityscape at night.
I chose the Nikon D7100 mainly for the Image Quality, which many people say is better than the 70D. However, I don't think that S$500 will be sufficient for a UW angle lens + 50mm f1.8 lens.
The Fuji XE-2 is also rather tempting, with it's body price close to the 70D and D7100. However, to my knowledge I too don't think that there is any cheap wide angle lens. And also, the video quality is really bad. But i heard that it's really good for landscape photography.
I would love to know your choices if you was in my shoes, and would love to get any suggestions for what to get. Also, if there is any camera + lens that fits in my bill and is better than any of my choices, I would be more than glad to hear or try it out. Thank you all for your time.
*would love to get full frame but it's not in my budget yet as I am still a poly year 1 student.*
THANK YOU!
