Magic lantern canon 350 d
OK so video is not a big priority for you at the moment. The camera is going to be used for pretty much all types of photography, landscape, portrait, macro, you name it. I already own EF lenses, so unless I sell them and start over completely, I'd have to stick to Canon. Speaking of which, my budget is €350 used.
Video capabilities are just a luxury as far as I'm concerned though, I'm mainly looking for the best sensor and the best low-light performance I can possibly get for the price. I hardly ever record video, but if I do it's going to be RAW video via magic lantern, which would be possible with both cameras. How much can you afford to spend? What do you want to do with a camera? Then again, that's why wide aperture lenses, flash units and other lighting systems exist on the market. Neither camera can be considered low light workhorses. Both are pretty much comparable to each other, though the 650D might have a slight edge. I suggest you look at some sample 650D videos online. Video color? Only one of them can record video, and Canon's color science for video is pretty good. RAW photos, you can post process and edit color in post. How important to you if the camera can record video or not? If having the ability to record video is important than between just these two models, the 650D is your only option.Īside from that, in terms of image quality: Out of pure curiosity though, are there any specific Nikon/Sony models that you'd recommend in the same price range? Sadly I own a bunch of EF lenses already, so it looks like I'll be sticking to Canon.
If the low light performance on the 600D is indeed better, I may try to get my hands on a 60D to get the best of both worlds (same sensor as 600D). If this were a dedicated photography site, this is about the time massive wars break out over every minor difference that in reality isn't so significant.Īwesome, I've been trying hard to find someone who has owned both. Note I only don't have the 50D any more since I got a 7D and later the mk2. If you want a technically better sensor you might look instead to recent Sony or Nikon models for example. The handling of the 50D is better than the 600D. Having said that, it depends on your use if that is the major factor. Expose well and don't try to do silly things and they're both more than decent for a skilled photographer. The 50D was more prone to visible banding if you try to bring up very dark areas. The 600D sensor is better, particularly in the shadow area. I used to have a 50D, and currently still have a 600D (amongst others).
