I Got A New Camera! | Canon 700D



For the better part of the last couple of years I've had a huge interest in photography and videography. I frequently would pick up either my Dads or Brothers camera and would go out all day taking photos of anything and everything i would come across. Last September i started doing an art course at the local university and this is when my interest for photography really kicked off but my brothers Sony A55 (which i love) just wasn't really an option anymore so i started my hunt for the new camera in my life.

After doing a lot of extensive research into cameras online id narrowed it down to a Nikon D5200 and the Canon 700D. I knew that a lot of people in the online world favoured the Canons over Nikons  but for some reason i still wanted the Nikon, that was until i went into my local camera shop and actually had a play around with them all and the Canon just felt so much more rounded, robust and like a better put together camera. It basically has all the same features as the 650D and comes with a very lovely 18-55mm kit lens which doesn't feel at all cheap or flimsy like some of the other kit lenses can!

On the initial startup i thought the autofocus was rather sluggish and temperamental but after a bit of fiddling around i managed to sort it out, but anyway, who actually wants to use the autofocus on a camera like this? The photo quality on this is outstanding, even on the auto mode which i tend not to be a fan of! Im just super excited to have my own camera to play around with now!

I also picked up a Canon 70 - 300mm lens as i do a lot of wildlife photography and this allows me to get closer shots without actually having to be as close to the subject! This lens actually helps the camera and produces clearer, sharper images even at the full zoom. Ive only had this camera for a few days but I'm already loving it and it's definitely a worth while investment!

    1. i'd get one of the more entry level cameras if you're moving up from your phone as it'll make it a lot easier to understand and will still produce great photos. Something like the 1100D maybe? xx
