Recently I have been thinking about buying a new camera. The one I am using currently is from 2005 and has 8MP, 3456 × 2304px image size and ISO up to 1600 (but you don't even want to use 800 anymore...). So it's like not the best. While I really would like to have a bigger image size, my main issue is just that the battery only lasts for like 50ish images in a row - out of the 115 I could take, another issue. I could buy a new battery but that would cost me 20€ and these 20€ I could save for a new camera already.

But I am a bit unsure whether I really should implement a five-year-plan to save up for a really good one like I intended because in the end, it's not up to the gear whether you take good pictures or not. But perhaps it is a little bit, y'know? Like perhaps I could actually use the auto focus or a higher ISO without my battery dying even faster or crop the picture some more without being left with a thumbnail...

Then I thought that perhaps I should rather look for a used camera because that's cheaper so I could have it earlier, and also I will probably never be on a level where it pays off to have an insanely good camera. But I don't really know how old it should be at most to still make sense to buy.

And then lastly, I notice that the one extra lens I have takes way better pictures already than the kit lens that I am using most of the time, which makes sense. Unfortunately the better lens is more for stuff far away or something. But it gave me the thought to perhaps buy a new lens first and then a new camera later. While that would not solve my battery issues, I might have better results already and I could still use it later for when I have a newer camera.

If you are a photographer and have some advice, please share it! Please vote for what you would do, even if you are not a photographer! (I guess the poll still has more options than there will be votes in the end but I had to try.)

The Gear Blog - 2022

In response to a slew of questions recently - here's the gear I use for bird and wildlife photography.

The most common question I field through my various social media profiles is what camera gear I use. More often than not, I do put this info in the image captions on Instagram – especially when I’ve been lucky enough to test out new gear like the Z9 and Z800mm f/6.3! But normally my gear is a lot lighter (and cheaper) than a hefty full frame mirrorless and prime lens. I realised that the last…

Endlich ist es so weit: Nach 7 Monaten Lieferverzögerung ist sie nun endlich angekommen: Die Fuji X100V. Ich habe lange überlegt, sie mir zu kaufen. Eine APS-C Kamera ohne wechselbare objektive? Und das zu einem Preis von 1400€? Das klingt im ersten Moment nach einer Fehlinvestition, aber gerade Fotografen die schon Länger am Start sind. Die das "Equipment-Game" durchgespielt haben und auf Schwere Fotorucksäcke und langes Post-Processing keine Lust haben, für all die Fotografen, die müde geworden sind, ist sie eine gute Möglichkeit, wieder wach zu werden.

Für die Art und weise, wie ich künftig Fotografieren möchte ist die X100V ideal. Trotz ihrer Komaktheit und Reduktion, verzichtet sie nicht auf das Wesentliche. Selbst wenn du alles an Zubehör kaufst, das es für diese Kamera überhaupt gibt, passt trotzdem alles in einen kleinen Mini-Rucksack. Was ich von meiner Canon DSLR nicht behaupten kann... Jeder Fotograf kennt das: Du willst wandern, Landschaften erkunden, die Natur entdecken. Da ist ein Tele-Makro kombiniert mit einem Ultraweitwinkel genau das richtige. Dann noch ein 18-55mm Objektiv, falls du weniger Weitwinkel willst. Am besten noch ein Stativ mit Filter-Set, für den Fall, einen Wasserfall zu begegnen. Jetzt noch was zu essen und trinken. Am Ende schleppst du dich mit einem vollbepackten 30 Kilo-Rucksack den Berg hoch und spätestens wenn die Landschaft vielseitiger und Flora sowie Fauna üppiger werden, bist du schon nach kurzer Zeit von der Wechselei der Linsen genervt. Klar, du könntest auch einfach auf Equipment verzichten: Aber seien wir mal ehrlich: Am ende nimmst du trotzdem alles mit.

Vielleicht ist die X100V mit Zubehör eine gute Möglichkeit, mich diesem Fotografen-Lifestyle zu entziehen. Und wenn nicht: Eine gute Kamera ist sie dennoch.

Feeling a little bit warped today. Either that or it’s this new camera gear.
