Hi,
I'm just getting into photography and is hoping to get some advice from the pros. I'm completely new to the hobby, I've been taking photos on my smartphone for 2 years, while smartphone tech is pretty impressive nowadays, I've decided to step it up and get a real camera.
Just to give an idea of what my goal is...
I do primarily landscape, nature, and outdoor pictures and other non nature related things like buildings, benches, cars, and just interesting man mad things. I never take portraits and don't like taking pictures of humans usually. I don't plan to do any videos at all, just photos.
With that said, I did a lot of research on my own but there are just some questions I couldn't find an easy answer to on google.
I'm looking for a budget value camera. I researched on the cameras and decided mirrorless full frame cameras is the way to go for me and is thinking a Canon EOS RP would probably be best for me or similar cameras in that price range.
As to len/s, I think 16-35mm zoomlens is probably all I need for majority of what I'm trying to take. Maybe get a separate 50mm prime lens later when I have some money on the side.
1.) What is the difference between a 16-35mm lens from different brands? Are they mostly the same? Would a Canon 16-35mm zoom lens produce different photos than say a Sony one?
2.) I also see 17-55mm lens and seem like a good alternative to the above but most says for DSLR cameras. Do mirrorless cameras use different lenses? I would think a 17-50mm would be more expensive than a 16-35mm since it covers more but Canon has a 17-55mm f2.8 lens for about 599.00 only (on sale from 800) and their 16-35mm is about 1k for f4 and 2k for f2.8, why would a 16-35mm cost more than 17-55mm?
3.) Are lens interchangeable between brands? Say I get a Canon camera and I find a good deal on lens from another company, are most lens universal and if not, I assume most camera companies sell adapters? I've seen a few searching around but not sure what they are, are the adapters for changing between brands or for changing between DSLR camera lens?
And then if you guys have any other thing I should be considering when searching for which to buy? Any special camera features that might be really useful that only some cameras have I should take into consideration? What do I usually gain for going for a more expensive camera?
Thanks in advance
