Camera advice

[PrinceVlad]

Hi Guys

I currently have a Nikon P7700 and Panasonic FZ70. My wife and I are estate agents and I find that whilst these two cameras are fine for outdoor shots of properties. The image quality for indoor shots is just not that good.

I want to buy a camera that I will just use to photograph the properties we list, but I also have a limited budget so it will most probably be a DSLR with the kit lens. The options I am looking at is the Nikon D3400 or Canon 1300D or the EOS M10.

It seems that the two proper SLR's might be more user friendly than the M10, but that the M10 has a wider lens which is important for real estate.

Any advice?

Hire a decent photographer to help.

Either of the 3 will be great, but having a viewfinder is useful indoors.

Been doing that, but we do it only for select properties. About 70% of the houses we list are newly built with no furniture and does not justify the use of a photographer. And the other problem is cost. If we list between 30 amd 40 properties a month its going to cost a pretty penny.

I got a Samsung NX500 and tossed my Nikon D7000. Samsungs prime was the compact mirrorless NX500 with 28mp, and 4k video and in raw mode its brilliant.

The canon m6 is the one to go for. The m10 is old and never get the old M itself as was deathly slow to focus. Your own death came sooner. The other is getting a fuji mirrorless, ironically theyre really good.

But the nx500 with 16-50 lens, 50-200 and the 50mm will be great.

Out of your option the d3400 is best.

It has a wider lens but you're going to want even wider. If it was me I'd get a decent entry level second hand camera and something like the canon 10-18mm. It's relatively inexpensive and will give you the equivalent of a 16mm lens on a full frame body.

Then get yourself a tripod and invest some time in learning how to bracket and produce HDR images from those bracketed shots.

Houses don't move particularly fast so focusing speed isn't really an issue.

A nice thing about the original M is that you can load Magic Lantern on it.
