Beginner Camera Gear To Get started In Wedding and Portrait Photography

From my experience, as much as I like the RF 24-105, F4 doesn't cut it indoors - in any case, add at least the 1.8 niftiy fifty to this kit - it's not expensive, and will save your low light shots.

I've shot with expensive and cheap memory cards every since I've gone digital and I've NEVER had a card fail on me. Not saying that they won't or can't b/c I know people have had them fail, but just b/c you spend 3 or 4 times more for something, doesn't always mean you won't have a disaster. Take care of your gear (no matter how much you spend) and it will take care of you. Good video, with good advice.

I wouldn't go into an indoor wedding with anything less than a F2.8. If it was me I would get the Panasonic S5 II which I recently picked one up for $1,300 off ebay. Then i would get the Sigma 28-70 F2.8 contemporary which is currently $799 at B&H. The Panasonic blows away the others for video and is higher resolution than the R6 for stills. Canon hasn't allowed 3rd party glass so there are also fewer upgrade paths available when you get locked into the Canon RF mount. If you want to use older EF glass on L mount, there is an adapter. I use my older EF lenses on both my Sony and Panasonic systems just fine. They are all Sigma lenses, so they work great with the Sigma adapters for each mount.

2500€ budget : used Canon 5dm3 with magic lantern (500€) ; used Tamron g2 24-70 f2.8 (900€) ;used Canon 85 f1.2 (800€) prices from mpb you can get better deals but that is really secure; yongnuo / godox flash 100€ ; spare batteries and compact flash cards will be really inexpensive on 2nd hand. A license for affinity photo 75€ and a license on pureraw. video will be done in the free version of da Vinci resolve and mlv app for the raw video.

Because you have nice story here is one : "my pictures are good but i don't know why when i look in eye piece it's very blurry" " hum you see that small wheel next to the eye try to turn it to see when it's sharp, it's for people that don't want to shoot with there glasses"

Canon RP , RF 70-200 f4. Seen refurb Canon RP for $599, $1399 for Lens. $500 dollars left to spare. Snag a flash, snag a prime. Snag some batteries. 🫡

Know my equipment. Know my settings. Got it… 😂😂😂 👍

These are some horror assistant stories 😂😂😂😂😂

I fell over backwards into a koi pond at a wedding and baptized both camera bodies and lenses.

I finished with an old crop sensor body and ancient Tamron 45mm 1.8.

Redundancy rules.

I also keep a full change of clothes in the car.

No bag?
