  • QuestionWhich Canon has a great distance lense for taking pictures for lacrosse. If sitting 50 yard line in bleachers/football field under $700.

    Asked by Dsc1212.

    • Answer This is a complex question. It will be the same for lacrosse (LAX) as football, soccer, baseball (outdoors), LIGHTING IS PRIMARY FACTOR FOR INDOOR SPORTS : hockey, basketball (inside), volleyball, swimming, etc. Even in full, bright daylight, you will see PRO Photographers using HUGE, expensive, long-lenses. Perhaps comparison to a telescope may be helpful. Astronomers have always built the LARGEST-DIAMETER lenses that they could design, or afford to build. That is to get the most "LIGHT GATHERING POWER" possible, to capture photos. Remember that "tele-photo" lenses get their name from being, literally, telescopes adapted to serve as camera lenses. (1) FORGET ABOUT so-called "optical zoom" numbers on small cameras. That is only enlarging the image on the cam's LCD viewfinder. OPTICAL ZOOM is the actual long / short of the lens, to make a wider (short), or "closer" (long) FOCAL LENGTH of that LENS. (2) The longest lens (tele-photo) will "bring the subject closer" (appear larger) BUT... like a telescope, that changes the "F- ratio". YOU WILL NEED TO DO SOME BOOK-LEARNIN' ON YOUR OWN, as well as get advice from others. (3) "Big Glass" lenses ARE EXPENSIVE. There is no dodging the issue. (4) To succeed with an inexpensive, "kit" lens ; either zoom or fixed - focal length [F.L.] You will have to have LUCK : full Sunlight, USE A LENS-SHADE, and a STEADY HAND (much like marksmanship - DON"T "SNAP-OFF" the shot, gently "click"). Staying with lacrosse (LAX), if possible, get permission to formally represent the school, or organization, offer to "share" (c) with yearbook, or offer images (paid) to local press ("PRESS" pass, if possible). THEN, YOU MAY BE ALLOWED, with assistant, and brightly colored "caution" vest, TO USE A 10-12 ft. STEPLADDER, AND MOVE IT AS YOU SEE FIT. Do this on the OPPOSITE side of the field from the teams & officals - be as un-obtrusive, and SAFETY - CONSCIOUS as possible. (4) Summary - Read-up on "shooting sports" action. Get the most light possible on the subject. Get the largest - DIAMETER lens that you can affford ("light - gathering power"). Decide if you should shoot from the field ( ground or laddder) or, the higher-viewpoint of the stands (even the PRESS BOX, or "PHOTO PRESS", ON ROOF OF THE PRESS-BOX. Have a hard-copy "portfolio", of sports-action, so you can negotiate with school, PRESS, or Stadium officals, so you can "free-roam" for the best POV. How do you get to Carnegie Hall ?? ... "Practice, Man... practice". STUDY ABOUT TELEPHOTO LENSES. BUY THE BIGGEST & BEST THAT YOU CAN AFFORD. Good Luck... LAX is a truly great sport. - Mark T, Michigan, USA ; 23 MAY 16 -

  • QuestionI'm 14 and I want to buy the camera and I really enjoy photography I want to be a photographer when I grow up would this last me until I finish high school and be able to take professional like photos

    Asked by Dj.

    • Answer I started out in high school photography in 2008, and had a 13.3 megapixel rebel xsi which I still have as a backup camera to this day. I now own a t6i (24.4 megapixels), They are long lasting cameras, I had a situation where my less than 3 month old t6i was thrown across a room (literally) and it sustained internal damage, however it was less than $150 to get the whole thing repaired and calibrated (turnaround was less than 10 days). So they are long lasting cameras, and if you do break it, its not an arm and a leg to get fixed. If your confident and have the patience to learn how to use this camera properly and compose your shots, this will be a good investment for you. Its a little more advanced than the T5 or Xsi, but if you can learn the functions, you will be producing much higher quality shots than you would going with an entry level nikon or lower-series Canon.

  • QuestionWill the Wi-Fi allow me to send photos to my Windows 10 desktop computer?Will the Wi-Fi allow me to send photos to my Windows 10 desktop computer, or only mobile devices?

    Asked by DB.

    • Answer Yes it will and works well easy to set up an excellent feature for a camera at this price point. No more having to pop out the SD card. The real benefit is being able to immediately send your pictures to your smart phone and post to social media.

  • QuestionI am looking for a camera/video camera to take pics and video at my brothers basketball games, is this a good choice or do you have any recommendations?

    Asked by Basketball101.

    • Answer The lens itself may be a little short at 55mm for tight shots, but you can always do a little post editing to bring it in. Be sure to use the sports setting to stop the action

  • QuestionI own a Nikon Coolpix and it does a good job for outdoors photos, but in a darker indoor room the flash is very weak, and no good for beyond 3 feet or so. My question is, how is the flash on the Rebel T6i?

    Asked by Saito56.

    • Answer The flash on this camera is awesome. I used it in the dark at Disneyland and got great shots of my family and the scenery. It does do a lot of preflashing sencing the environment which can be very annoying. But it is very powerful and produces great results. Great video in the dark too!

  • QuestionWhat is the difference between the t6i and the 70d? Which one would be the better buy based on price and value?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer I know this question is old but in case you are still looking or wondering... Dont base it on price. Just because one is more expensive does not mean it is better. Looks for the one that has the most features you are interested in. I would suggest making a list from 1 to 10 (1 being more important, 10 least important) and whats in your budget. I was in the same boat as you and went with the T6i over the 70D because it fit my budget and had all the features i was looking for. Google canon t6i vs 70d and look at the results. They will list the advantages of one model over the other and common strengths.

  • Questionwhich one is better for taking pictures the T6i or the T6

    Asked by T6iVST6.

    • Answer T6 is a great dslr, but does not come with the same features. The T6i is 24 megapixels compared to the t6's 18, which really does give you the amazing quality and resolution that professionals look for. If you ever decide to record video, go with the T6i, the difference is shocking when shooting in 1080. The t6i also handles backlit subjects better than the T6. My friend purchased the 1300D (t6) and i purchased the T6i. When we go on shoots together, I am able to compose my shots better, he regrets not spending the extra to get the built in wifi feature with remote viewing.

  • QuestionUsing the same lens, is the image quality the same with the T6i compared to the 80D?

    Asked by fasteddie.

    • Answer Whereas the 80D has 45 points of focus in autofocus mode the T6i has only 19. Their processors are also different(80D is better), allowing a faster, possibly more accurate focus. The 80D also has a 4,000 higher ISO value so image quality in lowlight conditions will be better than the T6i. Offtopic from your question the 80D also turns on faster and has a larger battery capacity. That being said while comparing these exact 2 models myself and viewing sample images from each, across a massive range of photo categories I couldn't tell the difference between them and plan to save $ and get the T6i.

  • Questionhow is the iso upgraded to 128.000on on a t61 canon dslr camerafor the canon dslr t6i camera how is the upgrade to 128,000 iso

    Asked by briana.

    • Answer I'm assuming you meant 12,800 iso because the t6i/s can handle up to 25,600 iso with custom config options in the menu. At max iso, results vary on just how low the lighting is that you are trying to compensate for. My raw shots contained less noise than I would have expected 7 shooting situations out of 10 (jpg not so much), IF multi-shot noise reduction is possible. Its not nearly as clear as say, the 5D Mark III which can achieve a significantly higher iso, but thats a $3,500 body and detail loss and coloring is still not beautiful after 1600 iso. Canon suprisingly made this range of iso an affordable option, and of course such a high iso is never an ideal for any photographer because of how much detail you lose and how terrible the sharpness compensation can make the subjects look, but having the option and knowing I can achieve passable images with it when I need it does help me in those situations where I want to shoot fast and cannot compensate the darkness with an external flash. One time I was not super impressed with a 12,800 iso was when I was shooting in an oddly colored gym enviroment with dim yellow lighting for a sporting event. handheld and bipod, shooting at that iso I'd say maybe 10 or 15 out of the 300 shots I took were passible with some post touchup, while the rest were either too soft or had too much color noise. So its great to have the option, and its a great feature for a less than $1000 camera, but results do vary significantly based on the subject and the situation. But you can compensate for the noise with the MSNR (multi-shot noise reduction) option which takes 4 shots and merges them to achieve a less noisey result, however this is not suitable for althletics or handheld situations obviously and you will still lose quite a bit of detail. Overall, I'm very happy to have such versatility in my shooting enviroments and it helps me avoid having to use a tripod for moving subjects in some semi-low light enviroments, but to truly utilize such high iso's with decent results, higher end cameras with more sensitive chips would achieve a little closer to a professional low light shot (nice sharp lenses help too!). Unless you've shot with a $2000+ camera in the same conditions, you won't consider the results below what you should expect, unless your attempting the impossible. So I'm satisfied with the abilities the t6i has at higher iso, but will go out of my way to avoid using them if possible.
