faq'z : good camera/lens?

  Tuesday, 8.17.10


it has been a little while since my last faq'z post & lately i have been getting quite a lot of similar questions asked in regards to good camera & lens suggestions... so i that i thought it may be beneficial to some of you out there, too! having a great camera can change the way you look at life for the better,,,that's for sure!

below are a few of the questions & answers. please keep in mind that i am in no way, shape or form the end-all to the end-all!!! my answers are simply based off of my own experiences & preferences. there truly are SO many amazing pieces of technology out there,,, this is just meant to be suggestions & maybe help you narrow it down to a few choices!



Q from H :
what kind of camera do you suggest a person like myself should get? =) I would really like to start doing some photography stuff but I don't know what type of camera to get...any suggestions??? ?

A from Ksen :

as for a good camera to start out with, i would suggest the Canon 50D. lens wise i would suggest you start off with a great Canon 50mm 1.4 prime lens. it is priced well considering how much use & versatility you will get with it!

there is also a Canon 50D camera kit that comes with a lens. however, the only thing is that i feel that the lens that usually comes with a kit is not that great. when it comes down to it, having a great lens is, in my opinion, essential.

lastly, if you are interested in purchasing a smaller, on-the-go type of camera that creates great quality photos, i highly recommend the Panasonic Lumix . i personally own it & L OV E it for an awesome little camera that packs a whole lot of PUNCH!

Q from L. :
what are your lens must haves?

A from Ksen :
that is a super hard question because i absolutely looooooove all my lenses!!! i think for anyone who is just starting out, as i mentioned above, the Canon 50mm 1.4 prime lens is a great classic lens. i also superlove the Canon 85mm 1.2 (delish!). this is a prime lens (which i prefer) & takes a bit of practice & getting used to,,, however once you do, it is ah!MAZING! tack sharp images with a softly blurred background. another fave is my Canon 24mm 1.4 -- a wide angle lens that allows me to get really close to my subject but still have a lot of the background in the image. couples, kids, animals & groups of people are fun to shoot with this lens, as well as architecture. some may find this lens to be too 'wide' -- but that is exactly what i HEART about it. in general the Canon 24-70 2.8 is also a great lens because it gives you quite a lot of versatility, as well as a low enough aperture to capture things with natural light. i could go on & on about so many great lenses... like the Canon 45 T/S, 35mm 1.4, 50mm 1.2, 70-200, 16-35, however i feel the ones mentioned above i feel are particularly great if you are just starting out. it is also a really great idea to rent out a lens & test out before you purchase it!

Q from K. :
where do you suggest i purchase the camera and/or lens from?

A from Ksen :
i personally have purchased the majority of my equipment online from B&H -- they have been wonderful with great customer service! i have also had fabulous service from the Ritz Camera in Somerset Mall in Troy.

.... and just for fun, the pics above were of the MOST ahhhh!mazing sky from a week ago or so
(straight from camera, unedited using my Canon 5D Mark II camera body & Canon 85mm 1.2 lens) .
it was insanely beautyFULL, to say the least.
hope they brighten up your day as it did mine when i experienced it.
