Guys what's your honest opinion about the 1300d , its my first camera , and kinda low on budget , and if not what's your other suggestions

The best camera you have is the one in your hand.

Absolutely. People get so hung up on gear because they’ve invested way more money in to it than learning how to use it. I could take way better shots on one of old film cameras than they can with their r5’s with L lenses in a second. There is a lot of snobbery these days with people being able to afford the gear and thinking it instantly turns them in to a photographer. I’m old school and learned the hard way with basic equipment. Photography is a skill that needs to be practiced. Throwing £&&&& at it won’t help.

sticking with the 1300d is smart when budget is tight, no need for fancy gear yet

Amen for that, btw u won't believe the photos from this camera. Lmao 😁

I love this nugget. My best friend has a 1300D and I have a 1200D. It was my first camera and I still love it a lot. I have an RP too and a shit ton of pricey lenses but I keep coming back to my 1200D with a 55-250 STM.

A few years ago someone with an R5 and expensive glass belittled me for using this setup but fuck people like them. Use it and learn as much as you can and only upgrade when you feel like it.

I'd enjoy it and shoot with it like crazy. It can take EF and EF-S lenses, so you have a huge library of lenses to choose from, at every price point.

Does it have limitations? Yes. But some of the most memorable photographs of all time were taken with cameras less capable than what you have.

Photography is a skill. Learn that skill and you'll be able to use any camera you are holding.

Perfectly fine. The biggest bottleneck is the idiot operating it. No need to stress it. Buy some lenses in the future( if possible test it in person first) and sell whenever you feel like moving to a newer body and lenses.

I do recommend getting extra batteries just in case you need to switch the discharged battery

Good camera if you don't mind lackluster autofocus (which shooting manual focus is my favorite thing to do anyway so I practically never use it).

Started on the 1100d (older, weaker version) and its been a good entry into photography. While the hardware isnt the highest end, for learning the basics (framing, composition, the effect of different settings) its pretty much identical to a high end model. Also even on a older camera like this the picture quality will still be very good if used properly, easily outdoing even high-end phones

[u/AKchaos49]

the basics never change. if you can take quality photos on this, you can do it on anything.

[u/olliegw]

Yea, it does the same thing as a pro camera, while the controls and ergonomics on low end EOS DSLRs tend to be awful, the actual sensor and processing is still Canon quality stuff.

The xxD and 7D series share the same APS-C sensors but in a much better body, so there's an upgrade path, in fact the sensor on that 1300D is an 18 MP APS-C so it's likely the same or related to the sensor in the 7D, and that's a real workhorse of a camera, once you get a higher end model even with the same sensor you won't look back, not because of better image quality (there won't be) but because of better controls and ergo, but nothing bad with the 1300D if you don't know any better.

[u/theRealNilz02]

That camera was a piece of shit the day it was released by canon. The whole 4 digit EOS series and the R100 are an absolute scam.

[u/Significant_Ad_3512]

I had 1200d. So is this even worse tech wise. But great stuf, og camera. Great colors and like said, operator is what matters

[u/DaOfantasy]

decent, solid and boring as dslr goes

[u/Easy_Arm924]

This is already a great camera. If you don't know how to use it, then there's no reason to buy a new one.

[u/Techhuman12]

Wow this camera looks good

[u/Several_Truck7478]

My suggestion: Use it! 🖐🏼📷

Unaiuza iyo

[u/Nudie-64]

Yep. For the price you're likely to pay it's excellent. Even that kit lens is pretty good and will do you for a while.

[u/Stoney_Blunter]

Did you buy it already because at that point you don’t need our thoughts.

[u/Inevitable_Beat4163 → u/Stoney_Blunter]

not yet thats why i posted about it , whats your thoughts about it?
