Well I think I’m gonna get a Sony Alpha a6000 later today. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod...ce6000l_b_alpha_a6000_mirrorless_digital.html
Yeah, I went from wanting a simple point and shoot to one of these. I didn't end up buying it today, but it's pretty what I have my mind set on now.
Not really sure about point and shoot, but I've used a Pentax K3 for the last couple years and have loved it. Everyone jumps on the big three, Canon Nikon Sony, but Pentax is really under rated for cameras in my opinion. I have been looking at the Sony A7r series to pick up in the next couple years though.
My iPhone in conjunction with my gimbal has been awesome for video especially when I’m alone since it can follow you. My drone has always been amazing but part of me wants to sell it for a DSLR and a nice lense. Just ordered some lense kit for my phone that looked pretty impressive so hope that steps my mobile game up
I had a canon rebel, it was a great camera.
For instagram and stuff like that, I use the iPhone.
For anything serious, Canon 5D MKII with the following lenses:
Canon 17-40mm f4L
Canon 24-105mm f4L
Canon 70-200mm f4L
Canon 300mm f4L
Canon 50mm f1.4
I always recommend searching eBay for used DSLR bodies and lenses. You can get something older but in great shape for a fraction of what it was new. That way you can get very legit gear for less than a new Rebel.
In a former life, I was a photographer, so I've done this many many times and never had an issue.
Anyway, obligatory pics:

been in australia for a week. nikon 810 w/ 28 / 50 / 85 1.8’s and 150-600. these are just iphone edits as i don’t get home until saturday
We were in Sydney for the week
I have a A6500 and it amazes me. I traded in my A77, which I had since it was released to get it. Lugged the A77 w/ a 16-50 f2.8 around Europe multiple times and had enough with the weight. so far the A6500 has been taking some great photos but I've used it only limitedly so far. I would have gotten the a7III if it was within my price range, still might eventually.
I just got my daughter a Canon T6 for Christmas. We started her off with a 20D and a Rebel XTi to make sure she would stick with it, and she did. Keep an eye out on the Canon manufacturer refurbished page. I got her set for $249 (it's back up to $349), and it shoots fantastic. In fact, I'm looking for a Canon body only right now (T5i/T6i) for myself (we have a ton of lenses). The 20D and XTi just sold on FB.
none of the mirrorless even come close to the sony. Dont even bother with nikon / canon
Yea as far as mirrorless, full frame, i really think sony may be the way to go. Only because i believe theyve been doing it the longest, and have really started narrowing down any problems/complaints with the cameras. Im definitely going with Sony, just a matter of liquidating a computer so i can purchase the one i want.
sony’s pixel shift is a game changer in terms of overall resolution. the fact that nikon/canon glazed over that is a testiment to them phoning it in while jumping on the bandwagon
Shit thats an expensive drone. I take it you make money from it?I shoot with a Inspire 1 w/ x3 camera.only issues I commonly run into are lack of low light capabilities.
Yes it was a bit expensive, I wish I went a different route to be honest with you but you live and learn
that being said, I attempt to make money with it. I've been kind of putting the business to the side. I'd like to pickup a handheld camera, something like a Sony a6000 or a6500.
for used equipment photogs love fredmiranda.com
can find good deals and honest sellers there

I will tell you this, the ar72 is a battery hog. Like unbelievable. Basically expect to buy 4-6 extra batteries. I sold my a7r2 because of this, its battery life made it almost unusable in the field.
I'd be careful to be honest, never know the condition until you ACTUALLY get it in your posession and I've heard some horror stories of empty boxes or different product sent in the boxes with no help from eBay.
B&H Photo and Video out of New York has a good used section, they test all their stuff prior to posting it.
I've bought more used gear from eBay and Fredmiranda than I could ever count. Never had a single issue and I've saved many thousands over the years.
Just be careful and do your research.
When you decide you want something else, sell it for what you paid for it and move on. Camera gear holds its value very well.
I bought 100% of my current kit used on eBay:
Don't forget at least one extra batteryWell i did it. i bought the A6500 and an F/4 sony G lense.
got 4 extras!
