FAQ // Which Camera Should I Get?

March 7, 2018

It is the belief of most photographers that it’s not the gear that makes an image great but how you use it. Yes, a quality camera makes things easier but understanding how to use it is the real kicker for beautiful images.

In this post I’m chatting about gear for everyday pictures. As a mom, I know it’s important to document those kiddos and life. Currently your phone probably has an amazing camera on it and you use that 80% of the time, which is great! I just get asked a lot about what camera someone should get so I thought I’d share.

affiliate links used. find the full disclosure here. if you buy through these links, know we’re thankful and appreciate it!

First off, let’s chat about some terminology you might see when shopping for a camera.

  • Point and shoot // Compact digital camera
  • Mirrorless camera // a digital camera that has a lens mount like a conventional single-lens reflex (SLR) camera, but uses a digital display system rather than an optical mirror and optical viewfinder, according to Wikipedia
  • DSLR (Digital single-lens reflex) //  a digital camera that combines the optics and the mechanisms of a single-lens reflex camera with a digital imaging sensor, according to Wikipedia

 

Best Point and Shoot

  • Canon PowerShot ELPH
  • Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II
  • Sony Cyber-shot HX80

Best Mirrorless

  • Fujifilm X-T20
  • Sony Alpha a6000
  • Sony Alpha a7II

Best DSLR

  • Nikon D3400
  • Canon EOS Rebel T6i

 

Once you get your camera, I know it’s boring, but you should read through the manual. You’d be surprised what cameras are capable of these days and you want to get the most out of it. Charge that battery, get your memory cards, and start capturing your life! 

I hope this was helpful and let me know what you get!!!!!

Joy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Joy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not something that I thought would be a word I ever used to truly describe life. But this life is a joy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Motherhood // Hard. Exhausting. Hilarious. Edifying. Sanctifying. Frustrating. Loving. Joy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Marriage // Hard. Worth it. Also sanctifying.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Friendships, life, church, ministry, traffic....joy. Because of Christ.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is only because of God that there's breath in my lungs. I will sing of His glory all my days. I will study Him, read His word, know Him, love Him, & live out His commands. Joyfully.
They will grow to love what they see us love. They They will grow to love what they see us love. They will witness more of our actions than listen to our words.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How important it is for us to teach our children with actions and words instead of just words.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We must have correct orthodoxy but we must have correct orthopraxy. We must live out the gospel.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When our children see us love God in words and action, they will learn more about our faith.
Last week it was freezing in my house because an i Last week it was freezing in my house because an ice storm knocked out our power. Today it’s sunny and beautiful and I’m showing off my legs today. Really I’m not showing them off but they are enjoying this sun.

This short season I refuse to be concerned/ashamed of...
-the deficits of melanin in my skin. [I literally cannot be less white. Nor will I be applying tanning creams. Not trying to look like DJT. I’ll be red like a crawfish before long.]
-the freckles 
-the fact that my calf muscles are bigger than some women’s thighs
-and anything else

Stewarding this body well is what God commanded.
Water. Moving. Sunscreen. Eating less junk. Better skincare since ya know 30s!

This summer will be the best yet. Because I’m less and less concerned with how the world sees me and more and more concerned with how God sees me.

Justified. Being sanctified. Will one day be glorified!
To God be the Glory.
Hold it all up to scripture. This verse from 1 Joh Hold it all up to scripture. This verse from 1 John is reminding us not to believe everything, but to examine it for truth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Discernment and knowledge come in handy here. We can easily spot lies when we know the truth. We see the same word for test, dokimazo, used in Luke 12:56 & Romans 12:2.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
dokimazo: I put to the test, prove, examine 
Original Word: δοκιμάζω⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Part of Speech: Verb⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Transliteration: dokimazo⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Phonetic Spelling: (dok-im-ad'-zo)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Definition: to test, by implication to approve
Usage: I put to the test, prove, examine; I distinguish by testing, approve after testing; I am fit

Are you behind on a reading plan you set out to do Are you behind on a reading plan you set out to do this year? I am! 🙋🏼‍♀️

Partially because I’m studying in depth, partially because I like sleep, partially because I skipped a couple days to read something else. And baseball.

So this morning I loaded the washing machine and set a timer. I finished 1 chapter and then decided I needed to move my body.

There’s no checklist needed. No deadline. No trophy for finishing a reading plan.
But nothing helps you see God like His word.
Nothing makes you want to know more about Him, than studying who He is.

If you would have asked me a few years ago if I would turn off the tv to read Leviticus....I would have laughed at you. Now moving into Numbers and I’m eager to learn more and also study Leviticus again.

If you want some accountability studying...join us @solasistersco !!!
