Photography

I plant to buy a camera set, consisting of the lens and the camera body itself.

But, I don't just want to ask

> I have a budget of ~1000 bucks, I want something that is light sensitive, has modern software, is preferably not Sony, and has a low minimum focus distance. It can be, especially the lens, a few years old, since I prefer to buy it used.

I want you to help me by letting me help myself.

Is there some sort of website, that asks me simple questions on my preferences, budget and use cases, and then suggests me a few combinations of cameras?

Right now, I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the choices, and I don't want to buy something that is incompatible or just not what I wanted...

First attempt at any sort of astrophotography!

This time i set up my old dslr and a tripod for the shooting, and i shot 70 30s frames. It seems like there's a problem with sharpness, but im not sure if its because i lack a star tracker, the lens was slightly out of focus, or because of atmospheric wobble.

Here's some behind the scene images:

! The camera is a nikon D5100, a low/midrange camera from almost 14 yeas ago mounted to a cheap tripod. The white box on top of said camera is the battery which i made from 2 old powerbanks because im a cheapass and couldnt be asked to buy a proper one :)

I saw the nothern lights too! !

Hi guys! I'm just a newbie in a way, that some years ago inherited a Nikon DX D7100 with a rather good Nikkor zoom 18-200mm VR (I understand it's the first one, as they might have re-released it at later stages). I played with it for quite a while and took some really good pictures, but at this point it's rather cumbersome to pack in the luggage, together with the drone as well. I'm considering a smaller mirrorless camera perhaps, so I can have something easier to carry around during a hike/tour/scooter ride. However, I would like to keep the portability with the zoom to some degree, as I really love how easily it made to frame subjects and get really good pics. Would you guys have recommendations for cameras (Nikon or not-Nikon), that can fit a Nikon lens with/without some adapter? Just in case this is a DX lens, not full frame, AFAIK (but I wouldn't mind some...vignetting, or digitally/automatically cropping the picture after the fact, if needed).

I took about 30 raw 30s exposures from my phone propped up on the roof, stacked them with deep sky stacker, and I'm impressed at the result.

Edited and converted RAW in camera, then slightly adjusted the Jpeg in Darkroom.

I highly recommend listening to these two talking about photography and stuff in general. I'm not a big podcast person but there's something special about this one, IMO.

Got up at 5:45, rode my bicycle to the nearest forest, put up my hammock and got this shot =)

I am looking for a new backpack for every day carry where I always want my camera gear with me (a DSLR, a filter and a couple of extra lenses).

I am looking at the Ramverk Pro Backpack (26L) with their small camera insert.

I like:

• The simplicity
• The design
• The large main compartment
• Being able to simply add or remove all camera gear by adding or removing the camera insert

I don't like:

• No water bottle holder
• No quick access to camera
• To few images showcasing the insert in the bag

Do any of you have this setup? Do you like it?

Would you recommend something else?

Just a nice snapshot I made with a phone.
