Street photography suggestion

[Thad E Ginathom]

RX100 is a gem, but value for money, especially for a student? I'm not so sure about that.

Sony APS-C camera with Tamron 17-70/2.8 zoom will take you a long way! You don't have to shell out for latest models. I think a6700 is over 1 lakh still: look at previous generations, used. IIIRC, a6000, a6300, a6500 are first generation; a6100 etc are 2nd generation; a6700 is latest (although a couple of years old now.

I shoot classical concerts with my a7iv, but my a6500&17-70 is still my easy-carry travel camera.

I you like to keep a distance, a crop frame mirrorless with a 35mm/50mm can be your starting point or a zoom lens if you are still figuring out your distance.

Once you start carrying the camera, friends and colleagues will ask you to take their group pictures also :D
You will need a wide angle then. Those group photos will be in low light space or indoor and then you will think about getting a flash and then you will spiral into the hole of photography gear :D

The RX100 is inconspicuous and has a good image quality despite being tiny. You should try it out to see if it suits your purpose.

If it doesn't work for you, an APS-C mirrorless with a small zoom lens (like the Sony pancake 16-50mm) could be your ticket. Later you can add a bigger zoom lens if it's necessary.

Hello everyone I m manas studing medicine. For past 2 yr i m trying to improve my photography skills and  come to know I m good at monochrome street photography. I take them using digital zoom on mobile. Yes I use mobile (pixel8a) and sometime I use a decade old coolpix s3300. But now I want to do it in more professional way. So I'm searching for camera and now I can't decide which type of camera should I buy?

My style - monochrome street and documentary type

Shooting style - I prefer distance and use zoom for framing and then capture the shot. Going near subject just increase my heart rate.


Now, should I buy a old bulky dslr and a good lens, mirror less or point and shoot like rx100 which is easy to carry.

Condition- I m a student so I don't go regularly for hunting, but I want them to carry with me and take pics invisible way.
