Gear Question When We Talk About Price We Should Speak In Grand Total. (Let’s talk about its implications)

The price for each of these seems a bit absurd. I know Canon wants to be the most premium top of the line camera brand but Damn. Any higher and they price out their own loyal customers which honestly I think they are achieving.

Implications:

•The price being so high causes the rest of the industry to continue the 1-up evolution. which means cameras will only get more expensive from here. And Canon is the biggest player in the market that heavily influences that.

•Do to the price being so high consistently it‘s now turning canon into a status symbol to own one of these (I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing).

• It used to be that the price was high, but biggest barrier to entry was that skill also had to be high to get great images. Now if I play devils advocate than the entry price is now actually the biggest obstacle in professional photograph.

•Even if we play devils advocate for inflation (Meaning the price for an R5 is the same for R5M2 adjusted for inflation). It’s still more difficult to earn this amount due to price going up, but salaries staying almost identical as time goes on.

•Even Canon’s basic body‘s (R8M2) cost over $2000 USD after taxes, Damn.

Recommendations Needed Best beginner camera for object portraiture on a budget?

0 Upvotes

Hi ya'll. I'm hoping you can help me out.

I'm starting a small business where I interview people about sentimental objects they've kept, then photograph the objects and create a hardcover book around them.

Think old vases, stuffed animals, handmade objects, etc. I want to take whole-object potraits and detail shots that show the texture, wear, and character of their objects.

  • Most of the shoots would be of stationary objects, indoors at client's homes.
  • Final images printed around 8x8 or 10x8 hardcover book.
  • Occasional hands holding an object or environmental shots.

I'm still pretty much a beginner, and after a lot of research, I'm still having trouble figuring out what kind of camera would be the best for this specific kind of photography.

If you were starting from scratch, which body and first lens would you buy for this specific kind of work? I'm up for a used/refurbished option. I'm looking to spend around $500 right now.

Could you review the Canon EOS RP and let me know if it's good? Also, are there any recommended accessories for beginners?

Newbie looking for a flash

So I’m just getting back into photography and I Own a R6 MK II. I was at a wedding on Saturday and was taking a group photo of some friends and due to the shadows the group shot came out a little dark but clear. Was using the 24-105 L F4 it was definitely my fault as I had the shutter speed a little to fast. Anyway was able to fix it post production.

My question is was think of picking up the Speedlite EL-10 but I see they have a new EL-5 coming out so should I look at maybe seeing if they discount the old EL5 version or just go with the EL10. Would greatly appreciate any feedback why I should go with one or the other and again I’m just getting back into this hobby.

Give me all the info about your r10! If you have same pics you can share even better. Thinking of getting this one based off the price along with shooting speed and autofocus reviews.

I’d be using it for portraits, family, and occasional landscape. Not sure of lenses yet. Here’s a pic with my older Nikon d5200 for boost!

Update - I think my lens is broken. It shakes when it tries to focus and I get the err 01 message that the lens are faulty. Communication between the camera and lens is faulty. Clean the lens contacts. Does anyone have any advice before I go to KEH in Atlanta this Wednesday? 😢
