People who shoot photos with their lens hood on backwards

[weltweit]

Look!

Hmmph.. On a DSLR you can mount your lens hood backwards

 

[neonwilderness]

Say what? DSLRs come with a sensor that is an order of magnitude bigger then the wee thing in your phone, and you can access a wide range of fast lenses and do things that aren't just possible on a cameraphone.

Depends on the situation I guess, horses for courses and all that. I regularly use both an iPhone and a DLSR for photos depending on what I'm doing, both are capable of producing decent photos (admittedly the SLR is vastly superior in terms of control and image quality). I'd be quite interested to try one of those phone adapters to see what difference it made, although I doubt I'd ever buy one

All smartphone cameras are wildly hit and miss for sports and low light photography, although with some skill, tweaking and luck, some decent images can occasionally be produced in those conditions.

Handling is always awful compared to a DSLR though, and those bolt on adapters just make the phones look more unwieldy and less useful as an actual phone.

Good luck trying to get 'DSLR results' from an iPhone.

They may well be very good - most high end cameraphones are pretty good as point and shooters these days - but any comparisons with 'DSLR quality' quickly fall apart when the light goes down, or true depth of field effects are wanted or the image has a high dynamic range. Bolting on third party zooms is hardly an ideal solution either, and phones have awful handing compared to a proper camera.

LOL! You've changed your tune. This is exactly what I was saying way back at the beginning of this thread....or was it the other one? Whatever. Point is I was, and it's exactly what you were arguing against.

You're a blinking nutcase.

You're a blinking nutcase.

It's all there, for anyone who can be bothered to look.

Tell me, is it difficult trying to remember from one day to the next which side of an argument you are supposed to be on? Or does it depend on which way the wind is blowing?

Unlike you, I actually know what I'm talking about when it comes to some aspects of photography, and I'm afraid I can't help your comprehension problems in this area.

Of course you do.............

You also seem to think you know better than people who have been doing it for years, and have the credentials to back up what they say.

But no matter. You're not going to succeed this time in drawing me into yet another of your pointless arguments.

I'm afraid the 'pointless argument' was all yours, mainly down to your bizarre inability to understand what was being said to you by several posters here.

 

[Athos]

I've not read this thread. Can someone give me a precis, please?

What's the consensus? Are backwards lens hoods good or bad?

Ta.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

Are backwards lens hoods good or bad?

It depends.

Hope that helps.

Yeah, that's great. Ta.

You're so full of shit. You mean like that person who tried to counter my argument of how a DSLR is superior by posting a bunch of pathetic images that were nothing like what I was talking about? Those statements you made just now are EXACTLY what I was arguing at the time, and what you were arguing against! This sort of nonsense is obviously something you get off on. How pathetic. I don't like liars, and I don't like 2-faced people either. I'd rather you didn't converse with me again.

Time to stop trying to blame everyone else but yourself, methinks.

The matter is closed for me now. I refuse to play any more of Editor's games, and I won't be talking to him any further.

I've just realised that if I get a zoom lens for my iPhone 6 Plus, I will have to keep removing the protective case I use, which would be so annoying and inconvenient.

So, my budget is maybe £200 right now but I could save more if needed I guess.

Can I get a camera small enough to easily fit into a bag that's very easy to use (I don't want to be fiddling about with settings etc) and can be used quickly and easily with good zoom (ie no bad grainy pics)?

Can I get a "DSLR" that fits my above requirements?

Any advice, greatly appreciated!

Devastated.

I just watched the above video and I think that camera was totally made for me so much!

And guy in video showed what the "sensor" looked like by taking the lens off (I guess I understand how much smaller the sensor on my iPhone is in comparison now if I imagined removing the small lens to see the sensor behind it, pretty small).

Just need to save a little more money, then, I'm sold!

Many thanks!

You won't get a DSLR that fits easily into a small bag, but you can get one for for that price if you go second hand or look for a discontinued model, but if you don't want to be bothered with settings it would be a waste.

I've just had a quick look on Amazon and there are nearly 300 point and shoot cameras (some pocket sized, some larger) with a 10x (or better) optical zoom and 12MP+ resolution for between £100 and £200. Any one of them would be better than a phone for taking photos. Look for Canon, Nikon, Panasonic or Fuji.

What is your opinion of the SONY A5000 that the editor kindly recommended me?

It looks almost tailor fit for me

 

[Spymaster]

Bungle73 have you any other messages for editor?

He's answered that quite unequivocally.

 

[Bungle73]

Why don't you get a super-zoom? They come with a massive zoom, in a small(ish) self-contanined package. The image quality isn't the best, especially at the extremes of the zoom range, but it's acceptable if you just want "a camera".

You won't get a DSLR that fits easily into a small bag,

What about the 100D?

Bungle73 have you any other messages for editor?

No thanks.

It's very good, but you won't get one for £200. £250 is about the best price.
