I'm in the market for a Nikon D5500 and I've been looking all over the place to buy it for 600-700 dollars. I wont be able to buy it from any retailer like Best Buy or Nikon's website, as they sell for around 900 there, so I've gone on a hunt through the internet.
I have a few candidates so far and I was wondering if you guys could help me out. Apologies for any of my ignorance when discussing this topic/if this isn't really allowed on the board:
I first was wondering whether I should buy from DigiRev, as I have seen their videos and...

Yeah no problem. Ill delete this right away

Thank god, dude. You saved /p/!
Have a free bump. :)
OP, buy your shit from Adorama, Amazon or B&H. Best Buy will price match. Cameras are a very narrow margin item and almost never go on sale, so if it seems like it's a ridiculously good deal, it's either a scam or an warranty-less grey market camera.

Hey /p/ I've just started developing my own film and I'm looking for a way to store / present them, I'd like to have placed in cards like the ones in the pic but I can't find out what they're called, anyone have any idea?

Don't be that guy, OP. Just scan the negatives to your computer and toss 'em out when you're done.
>>2870766
That looks like a slide mounted negative set.
Unless you're shooting with positive B&W, you don't mount negatives.
You need to cut your roll of negatives in to groups of 6 and put them into a special sleeve folder
You're supposed to mount slides that way, they're positive photos that get mounted that way so you can put them in a projector to display them. If you are shooting slides and getting them developed at a lab then the lab would give them to you already mounted that way.
I assume you're shooting negative film, though. That's not mounted because projecting a negative would be silly because all the colors would be inverted. You're supposed to cut your film into strips of 6 to fit the roll into a sleeve like pic related. That keeps them safe and protected...

Do pros really use Darktable and is it really the best free option out there for processing RAW at the moment? I've been playing around with it for an hour and it has been kind of frustrating to use compared to LR. Can't even get my exports to look the same as the preview.
I want to use LR but I'll be using my images for school and worried that someone will find out that I'm using a pirated copy (can't afford to buy it cuz no student discount). Is there any way to prevent someone from finding this out while also keeping EXIF data unaltered in my exported JPEGs?
>>2870720
why would the school care what programs you use? Does the school offer LR for a price...is that why?
what about this? (for nikon)

>>2870720
We have to submit our work online and the instructor will put it through a site that is supposed to make sure that what we're turning in is our own work and I think pirated software use might be one of the things they check for too according to some of the kids in my class.

Jesus christ what a shitty jpeg conversion. Could it be your OS is a 32bit version instead of a 64bit?
If you have the chance test it out on a 64bit OS and post results, I'm quite interesting as it could be a great option to install ubuntu 64bit+latest darktable in a basic laptop with 4gbRAM; 2gHz dualcore processor for editing on the go (trips, train to work/uni, spare time in the library...or just a basic setup for poorfags).
>>2870739
This too. I use ViewNX and though its only for basic leveling and lacks many advanced tools the results are top quality. Also very fluid and user friendly.
hi there i have a old yashica 35 gsn and i want to know if somebody can help me to put it in my canon eos 60D anyone know how to dissamble and put on there?
Remove the top and bottom plate being careful not to break the flash sync wire, peel back the leatherette, and the lens sits on a board held in by a few screws. You'll run into trouble with the little rangefinder doohicky that pokes out the back of the lens, and the fact the the shutter is built in.
>>2870672
i cant do something to use the ring and fix the shutter to use like a diaphragm or something? if ionly use on 1.7 putting away the shutter is not a problem at all
>>2870675
You probably could if you're mechanically minded. I've had my Yashica apart, but only to fix the POD (and to resolder the connections my dumb ass snapped). Do some maths and work out the flange distances before you gut the poor thing, you might not even be able to mount it on a 60D.
How do you guys get inspired to go out and shoot?
I'm sitting on the last day of my weekend, and I feel like I should be out there shooting something, but I'm not feeling anything in particular. Nothing in this neighborhood interests me. I've wasted an entire weekend, you know what I mean?

Mate you'll need to travel to be inspired regardless of what medium you're trying to creative in
>>2870553
what style photography most interests you, is it birds and nature?
>>2870553
I feel the same way. I have fun when I'm out shooting, but I have difficulty convincing myself to actually leave my room. I would probably have an easier time if my photographer friends came with me, but they're always busy/not in the city when I want to shoot.

How is the job market for photography? Thinking about going to school for photography, but after I finish will there be any jobs left?
>>2870401
We clearly have too less photographs and photographers. It seems like - especially in the 1st world - nobody wants to this job anymore. So, it gets outsourced to people who really need the money and are still willing to do it. We can be happy about everyone who gets into photography nowadays and has a professional approach towards it, instead of just doing it for the money. There is a lack of interest but tho it is much needed ... oh wait, I meant geriatric care, not photography ... doh, I always mix them up .. sry.

Don't go to school for art.

OP, if you're under 28, you might consider enlisting into the Air Force as Air Force Aerial combat photographer. It's one of the very few enlisted jobs with the opportunity to fly in some amazing aircraft that are off limits to everyone except pilots and crew. pic related
Well Im looking for a new mobile phone with a good camera, But Cheap, Arround 200/300$ So one of my options is Asus Zenfone 2 or the Asus Zenfone Zoom
http://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-Zoom-ZX551ML/
https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-2-Deluxe-Special-Edition/
Btw I hate Apple and Samsung
>>2870046
Every phone camera is shit because they can only fit a tiny lens.
Either an iPhone SE or an xperia z5 compact
>>2870046
those aren't good cameras.
That F/2 is more like F/12 because the sensor is too small.
And 13 MP on a fucking midget sensor gives terrible looking images.
Then every phone lens is some wide angle <30mm piece of shit, when faces look horrible at less than 50mm, and no professional portrait photographer uses less than 85mm.
Are GoPros actually worth it or are they just overpriced astroturfing fodder?
CaseyNeistat videos a lot of his vlog on it, so yeah,
>>2869941
TopGear uses a shitload of them. them and pretty much every other action oriented TV show that puts cameras somewhere where they will likely get destroyed.
a $300 gopro is much easier to lose than a $6500 Blackmagic camera.
As a photographer, they are what you use when you don't need the quality of a DSLR. As a sports videographer, they're great and significantly better than most of the competition, but unfortunately they suck at making budget cameras or branching out and so they're losing value. Only the future will show if they are as innovative as they tell us they are.

Should you try to be original when you photograph or should you just be yourself? Is originality still possible without doing something gimmicky?
>>2869766
originality is totally possible. thing is, not all the time the "true" and free output of someone is desirable or attractive as a work of art.
>>2869767
Has someone tried to prove scientifcially if originality is still possible or how hard it is?
>>2869768
Are you stupid? There is no way that originality is not possible. There are literally an infinate way of doing things with multiple variables to change or ad to make something uniqiue. Especially in an ever evolving world of technology.
I'm interested in getting into street photography.

Scratch that. I would much rather punch this guys face.

Vintage Lens thread?
I bought this one, I failed at being fool frame so this lens I guess will be good for my crop sensor to have this be a 50mm equivalent

hello Mr...curns! I bad...want...money now...me sick
Bought this for portrait shooting on MFT.
I'm thinking the Canon is one of the more ugly 50mm lenses around. Let's hope it at least performs well.
