  1. Hello there guys, how are you?
    It's been a while since I was actually active on the forum, so, these last few weeks I've trying to post here and there...
    This time around, I wanted to share with you one of the things that I utterly love with all my heart: filmmaking and photography.

    I've been playing with my camera all my life. At the beginning, that camera were my pair of eyes. They still are, but obviously, I needed to upgrade those two for once so, I few years ago, I decided to invest in a camera. I had no idea what to buy, I just wanted to be able to take pictures and film, so I ended up buying crappy equipments, as always, in your first buy.

    With the pass of time, I started to study everything I could, I still do it, and my expectations started to steadily grow, bigger and bigger with any camera I had. I noticed that traditional cameras were becoming outdated even at they release date...

    How could I mix my two goals in a single camera in order to spend "as little as possible"? Well...

    I'm not going to talk about the advantages of mirrorless cameras, but I bought after a carefully research, a Sony alpha, which is for me the future in photography with amazing capabilities for video enthusiasts like me

    Right now I'm still using my Sony a77 and recently I finished an ad for a contest. The basic idea was to shine some light on a subject that we believe isn't the primary focus of attention. It could be a disease, an addiction, etc, etc.

    My case was refered to Alzheimer. It's only 60 seconds long. I'd really appreciate your opinions:

    I have other videos to share, and I'll do eventually, let's first start with this one.

    Regards,
    Pablo.
  2. I'm a Nikon person myself. My first DSLR was the Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel. It was super slow at processing a single RAW (.CRW) image but took amazing images; just slow. I researched DSLRs before 360 and decided on the Nikon D80. Sufficient megapixels and exemplary images with the right settings; even on the kit 18-45 or 18-70mms. Its startup time was near instantaneous as well which set it above the Canons in the similar price range. Battery life was awesome too. I could go through a whole U2 concert on just 1 battery, roughly 8GB SD card or 1300 RAW images at 10 MPs. I currently still have that model and a D5200.

    I avoided SONY because of proprietary media cards at the time. Everyone else but SONY used the SD card.

    I'm terrible at video, but photography, particularly for concerts is what I do best. eNJOY YOUR CAMERA.

    My next Nikon is probably a D7000 body.
