My canon 7D died after 5 years of use at the launch this past weekend. I have 3 lenses for it and I am thinking buying another Canon. Which DSLR do you Use?
Which Mark? I know the ones after the II that I have some interesting features, but nowhere near enough for me to run out and get one. Does one of these have HDR?The FPS is higher on the 7D vs 5D - 9.5 fps vs 7 fps. I am not sure that this would be that noticible.
I am almost certain I am going o buy the 5D.
I just popped back onto Ken Rockwell's site that I mentioned earlier in this thread. He mainly reviews DSLR, but he does do some other cameras. One pocket camera he likes is Sony RX100 MK V. He also tells you where to buy it and provides links. His reviews are well done and include sample photos with the actual cameras. The zoom capability isn't great for rocketry, but it takes great photos.Is there a reasonably good camera that can take rocket videos with zoom capability along with the capability to take still photos for on the order of $1,000? Is it better to shop on-line or go somewhere like Best Buy?
So, you do have a video option? What lens do you have now and what lens are you planning to get. It seems like mirrorless cameras are cheaper than DSLR's.I love my new Sony a6500. Amazing 12 fps, always catches seveal great pics during launch. It has a pretty good zoom. But I'll be getting a better lense for more distance.
I have a Canon T6i which will do a serviceable job for rocketry pics if you get a fast SD card to go with it. It is 5 frames per second at 24.2 MegaPixel, so you can crop the crap out of a pic if necessary. You can get it as a kit with two lenses that will cover most of your needs. If you shoot RAW it will take 7-8 pics to fill the buffer (then it slows to about 3 fps, but keeps taking) with the card linked below. If you shoot jpeg it is continuous. Videos are good too, but I haven't done rocketry videos yet...no reason it won't work well for that.Is there a reasonably good camera that can take rocket videos with zoom capability along with the capability to take still photos for on the order of $1,000?

Yes, There is a video option. It has HD video, the next model up does 4k video. The stock lens is 18-50. There nice 18-200mm lens is amazing and costs as much as the camera. But Sony's 55-210mm lens looks nice at half the price.So, you do have a video option? What lens do you have now and what lens are you planning to get.
