Camera suggestions

[Eliel_Felipe45]

I’m thinking of going to the airports in a few hours and taking some photos just to relax, do you recommend some good camera for aircraft photos?

I do not know much about cameras 😬

[david_hartono_S]

how much is your budget? For beginners i would say canon 1300d with 75-300mm lens… Its a decent gear for you

[Eliel_Felipe45]

it looks like a good camera, I still do not have a budget I’ll analyze the people’s suggestions and see which camera would look better

I really liked the images thanks for the suggestion

Someone made a topic about this some time ago. Make sure to check it out, maybe you will find a good one there! :)

Cameras for planespoting

Hi guys! I’m currently saving money up for a camera, and before buying, I need some suggestions. So if any of you have suggestions for a camera that is good for plane spotting. Please let me me know. Also I need to know what type of lense I should get. I’ve been told 70-300mm. If it helps I’d like to keep the price of a camera in the 300-500 dollar range.

I like that ryanair 737 shot…

I think you should have a budget for cameras, because if you dont have the budget,it would be difficult to recommend you a camera… anyway, the most important thing for a planespotter to have is a telephoto lens… if you want to buy canon, 75-300 mm is a good choice, if you want to buy sony, 24-240 mm lens is a good choice…

There’s a good list of equipment here:

Spotting Equipment for Beginners

Hi everyone. I know a lot of people in the community go spotting at their local airports. I was wondering what equipment to use. I don’t have any cameras for spotting (except my phone). My budget is around $200-$350 for a good spotting camera. (If this shouldn’t be in the spotting category, please let me know). Thanks, Cbro4

I use a Canon EOS Rebel T6, with a 75-300mm lens.

so I had not seen this topic yet I’m going to look it must have very good cameras there

[Eliel_Felipe45]

then more is difficult because if I give a budget would have to give in dollar only that this is not my currency understands I live in another country, thank you for the suggestions

[Eliel_Felipe45]

Thank you for the list, I’ll check it out.

Nikon P5-10 It’s a great camera for spotters.

[MacGamer04]

I use a Nikon D5100 with a 55-300mm lens. Pretty good for starting out. Although I personally would get either the D5300 or the D5600 and a 70-300mm lens.

Some sample shots for you

[MacGamer04]

Yes it most certainly is

I can see that the 75-300 is popular, but it isn’t the best quality lens. The autofocus is slow, and the image quality isn’t the best. But for a budget, it should be fine. I’d recommend the 55-250mm IS STM. Exceptionally better image quality with fast and silent autofocus.

I recommend the Nikon L315 is very good, I use it and never gave me problem, to take some beautiful photos !!! If you want to see my photos go in my instagram @spotter_ws if you buy together a telephoto lens is necessary to take a few more from afar !!
