剛為人母, 多左時間影bb

用開0既sony P200... 但唔係咁好用... 而家想換過部, 想大家比0的意見~

我係攝影盲, 乜都唔識, 想有下列要求:
~ 易操作
~ 主要影人像(bb)
~ 感光好 (就算唔用閃光都ok)
~ 夜晚影要清(而家果部夜晚影, 加左閃光都好唔靚)
~ 屏幕夠大, 機身唔好太重/太厚
~ 有埋短片功能
~ 防震要夠, 容易捕捉bb (唔知點解而家果部有防震, 但都影都鬆郁曚)
~ 價錢最好 $3000之內 (最多$4000)

唔好意思咁多要求, 請大家師兄師姐們幫幫忙~
多謝晒~~

Try to go 2CAM to test by yourself

They show some different DC in shop

你既要求........全人類都好想真係有一部咁既DC就perfect.......可惜......

係冇﹗

DC既弱點就正正係感光度不高，稍為高就會有好多noise。即使有防震都唔會有乜幫助。在稍為暗少少既地方還可以，影BB就好難會有滿意效果，除非個BB唔郁(訓咗)，set埋腳架影。

稍為好啲既DC，$4000以內就可能性唔大。

2nd hand 1000D kit set better than all DC

[50D]

剛為人母, 用時間影bb ...
我當初買了50D也是為小朋友...只是一年每天攝影已成習慣....
其實唔好慳, 怕自己無興趣...平平地
要拍片嘅550D啦...
影相...1000D最低要求(快門同NOISE CONTROL DC比唔到較好你)
...如果唔係再花錢UPGRADE仲花錢!

平平地用S90
大光圈高iso唔洗用閃去影bb
全自動DC一定方便過單反

[叮噹仔]

你睇下IXUS 200 IS(半touch screen control) o岩唔o岩你心水
或者仲有IXUS 210 IS(全touch screen control),
同IXUS 130 IS(non touch screen control),
都係唔錯既選擇~

首先你可以係dcfever既用家心得睇下d回應,
再上canon 陳列室玩下再揀~

入門DSLR同部高級的DC的價錢都係差吳多。

大把c hing 因upgrade 而放售手頭上condition仍很好的DSLR，即使用過2年的款，很多時都仍然保養的很好，以二手價接貨，仲抵買過整部新DC，洗少左錢，但quality 夠曬影靚BB！

提議你考慮找部2手20D, 350D, 1000D 連基本的 kit lens，靚過曬d 頂級DC，仲節省吳少$$。

（通常d 甘basic 的DSLR，反而吳洗驚比人用過泥做“韻”食架生，無甘怕曾經比人粗用過）
至於二手DC，好多時上一手物主都未必會特別放入防潮箱或特別保養，太冒險。（都唔洗節省成甘gua?)

BB 攝影，真是最大的樂趣！！

[jaegerlecoultre]

otherwise, 揀返部吳係最新款的 Canon Ixus（貪已經跌左價）, 我外母都係亂影，d 相都好掂！！值得推介！

One most important thing that most ppl may miss (or may not understand), BB's skin and eyes are the most beauty part and key point of the BB picture.

All photographers understand taking pictures on infant and BB are even more serious than taking on adult models or landscape because the skin and eyes color and detail are 100% nature without any artificial effect.

If you can remember this most important points, you can understand what you need a DC with:

1. ) Extra low noise in dim condition with ISO 800 or above WITHOUT flash -- > it needs a big aperture lens (f 2.8 or bigger) and big CCD or CMOS sensor ( 1 / 2" or bigger).

* Tips : You must check the noise level on 100% (Ratio 1 : 1) PC or notebook monitor rather than the camera display monitor. RecentLy Canon DC's monitors are even more "beautIiful" than the real picture. You could be "cheated" by it.

2.) Need RAW format -- > for post-editing or further storage. Don't be so mean ( 吝嗇 ) on Harddisk storage size. a 1T HDD costs only $ 6xx but can keeps thousand of priceless RAW picture.

3.) Movie mode ---> It doesn't matter if it is VGA (640x480) or 1280 x 720 in AVI or H.264 format. When you are looking after an infant or BB, the first priority is always your BB's safety and you should always get ready to take care of . So, don't switch your hand from DC to movie camcorder from time to time or hand them by your hands !! This mode, at least, can let you still have one hand to hold your BB at any time and any sudden case. Pls note all DC movie mode DOESN'T HAVE AF and AE during the capture. But it should be OK for infant and BB capture because the scene should NOT be changed dramatically.

4.) Self picture timer with tripod -- You can either have 八爪魚 at home and small tripod for outdoor. Some camera comes with useful self-picture timer and function such as multi-shoots with intervals ( e.g. 3 shots with 2 seconds delay) , Face delay timer ( shoots when a face enter the scene) or Wink Self-Timer mode and a Smile Self-Timer mode (Canon IXUS 210).

5). Wide angel and Zoom power is useless here because the infant and BB will not move very fast and out of your range.

As father, I'd used the following DC and DSLR for my son and I have the following experience on BB picturing as below.

DC
Canon 860IS -- > Not good enough. Too bad on noise and no RAW.
Canon S90 ---> The best DC to fit point (1), (2) & (4). Useful ISO at 1600. The only disadvantage is the (3) comes with 640x480 only,.
Panasonics DMC LX3 --> The best DC to fit point (1), (2) & (4). The only disadvantage is the (3) comes with 640x480 only and I don't quite like its low resolution monitor and lower quality display comparing with S90.

Try Canon G9 ---> Failed at point (1). Useful ISO at 640 only and f.2.8 only..
Try Canon G10 and G11 --> Fit all above points and useful ISO at 1600 (because same CCD size as S90) but f.2.8 only.. The disadvantages are relatively bigger in size and higher prices.

APS-C DSLR
Canon 40D ---> For (1), accept noise level at 1600 ( with 50. 14 and no flash )and it doesn't not have movie mode. I used camcorder at that time. But I don't quite like its low resolution monitor display that cannot review picture quality instantly, .

Fuill Frame Canon 5DII ---> Fit all points above (noise level OK below 3200 with 50 1.4 no flash) but it is all about budget, And 9-point focusing system and AE system is a bit old date.

Hope it can help you. Enjoy picturing on BB is the priceless for all man kind.


( * If the topic is infant or BB ( 0 ~ 15 mths) before walking, my reply should be OK. But if it is for KIDS above 15 mths, pls consider DSLRs because of low shutter lag and shutter priority setting .

100% agreed but DC is still very good in many situation. When you carry too many baby stuffs for outdoor ( e.g. clothes, stroller, milk bottles and etc.) , you may not like to carry the DSLR but a good DC could help you.

So, I suggest you to have one DC for snap shoots (65 % time) and outdoor use and DSLR for indoor or home use ( 35% time). But in fact, the DSLR can last longer and provide your much better picture quality.

It is an equilibrium of use frequency, use condition, convenience vs picture quality and cost. Pls consider yourselves and make your own judgement on the equipments and conditions.

Enjoy and take more pictures on the golden moment of truth with your BB.

Wish your BB and your family all the best.
