Hello friends, welcome to my channel, today I would like to share with my friends what kind of camera is suitable for middle-aged and elderly friends, as well as friends who are learning photography for beginners.

In fact, what kind of camera to buy, it has a lot to do with our age, don't think it's strange, it's true, then I'll share my experience.

First of all, if you are a middle-aged and elderly friend, for example, a friend around 60 years old buys a camera, you and friends in your thirties or 40s or 50s, this age group, the needs of buying a camera are definitely different.

In the past, when I played with the camera, more than ten years ago, I played this SLR at that time, at that time, I was younger, I was full of physical strength, no matter how I went, I carried a camera bag, and then brought a tripod, 3 yuan, SLR, including some filters, batteries, chargers, etc., a camera bag, all your photographic equipment was nearly 20 pounds, and the weight was relatively heavy.

So when you are old, after you are in your 60s, that is, after retirement, then your physical fitness will obviously decline, and at this time, if you go out with these equipment to play, or where to travel, you will obviously feel very stressed.

Let's say at that time, a 70-200-28 This lens, its weight is more than 1400 grams, plus a single-lens reflex camera, the weight of this lens and this camera, together there are four or five pounds, you with other lenses and tripods Indeed, it is indeed very heavy, especially when we are holding such a lens, shooting, after a long time, the arms feel a little sore, wrists, fingers also feel a little sore.

Therefore, the older we are, the more we need to consider the performance and weight of the device, which is an important factor.

For example, I changed the mirrorless and the Canon 70-200-28 This lens, after I took out the EF lens, I put in an RF lens again, this lens is 400 grams lighter than that lens, so after changing the mirrorless, it is also much lighter than the original 5D4, so it reduces the pressure of our photography.

I shared with my friends in the last issue**,SLR needs to change the micro mirror,Of course, this is based on your own budget and needs to decide,My point of view is that if you are friends who have been playing photography for a long time,You should replace the SLR with a micro mirrorless。

If you only play with your camera once in a while, or if you don't have photography as a hobby, you can also not change it.

Mirrorless lowers the threshold of our photography, regardless of its focusing performance, anti-shake performance, its metering system, etc., it has a better sense of experience, after all, it is to buy new not to buy old, with the development of science and technology, the performance of the camera is now more and more powerful.

A netizen friend said, you can't write good words with other pens, so can you write good words with a gold pen, this metaphor is not very appropriate, I can say this, for example, you use a modern sniper rifle and an old-fashioned sniper rifle, which one has good efficiency and which one has a high success rate?Obviously, the modern sniper rifle has a high success rate, the modern sniper rifle not only has a scope, but also on the scale of the scope, it indicates the distance, and even your wind speed, wind speed measurement wind speed it is automatic, to correct your aiming target, so its success rate, its efficiency is definitely much higher than the efficiency of the old sniper rifle in the past, and it is much more accurate.

In the past, the old-fashioned sniper rifle, a bullet on the trigger, a shot after a shot, and then a trigger, then it is an automatic rifle, you can load the magazine, you don't need to move the bullet, after a shot, it automatically fills a bullet, so after all, it is a high-tech product, it can bring us a better sense of use.

Especially our middle-aged and elderly friends, we have reached this age, if you really reach the age of 70, you may not be able to play with the camera, so when we retire at this age, we can upgrade if we can upgrade, of course, within our budget, we can use a slightly better camera, and if we can use a good lens, we can use a good lens.

After all, we can't compare with those young people, they have a lot of time to waste, a lot of time to spend, so as a person of our age, don't be reluctant, money is something outside the body.

As long as we play comfortably, have fun, play fulfilling, and play cool, it's enough, it's OK, and I'll share it with friends today.
