I recently upgraded/updated my camera gear for photography/videography.
I upgraded my camera from a Canon 50D to a Canon R6 Mark II. It can shoot full frame, APS-C (cropped) which I need with the lenses I have. The R6 came with a 24-105mm lens which works well but it doesn’t have a manual focus button like my Tamron 18-270mm lens. I use the Tamron when I am storm chasing. It can shoot video up to 4K60fps. It can also shoot slow motion (which is cool which trying to capture lightning. I’m still learning the capabilities of this camera and so far, I haven’t been disappointed.
My phone is a Samsung S24 Ultra and I’m using MotionCam Pro as the main camera app. MotionCam Pro is a paid camera app that allows you to shoot RAW. Yes, true RAW pictures and videos. The videos are huge because of the RAW data being captured. It is recommended you use an external SSD when capturing video.
I’m looking forward to sharing what I capture with my gear. Stayed tuned.
