before we get into the video.
If you enjoy chatting cameras and street photography, go check out
my discord server Mega pic skills in the description and
pin comment of this video following on from some recent
videos, I've done talking
about more budget camera gear.
I've had a lot of comments saying, You know, you can't
find cameras for that little money At the moment, it's impossible.
Well, I've compiled a
list today with
five cameras under $400 and then won just over $400.
That I would think is seriously worth checking out.
MPB definitely have a slight markup on their used gear compared to price you can find on eBay.
But they offer complete convenience in terms of fast delivery, pretty good returns,
policy and overall vetting of the equipment before it comes to you.
Today, you're going to know at least six cameras that are seriously worth looking at in terms of
budget gear for street photography.
Before I show you the exact cameras that I've already compiled into a convenient list,
I'm first going to show you how eyebrows MPB in a sensible
way to be able to find these sort of deals so literally
Go to the top left and then I go to cameras.
If you go to premium compact cameras, you actually, weirdly miss out on some compact cameras
that I have no
idea where they are actually classified under any of their new categories,
since the website has
recently had a bit of refurb.
So I just click on the cameras
overall, and you'll immediately be fed.
The most expensive cameras they have,
like Rs three is £12,600.
Reverse
that to sort from price lowest high.
And then now we're in the neck of the woods.
We want to be in for some fun, affordable street photography cameras
that you know you can probably sell back to
MPB for like
£30.50 dollars less than you originally buy it from them.
And this is what I
typically do when everyone is going out drinking on a weekend.
Eyebrows used cameras until I find a deal,
but I think tickles my fancy.
I've already done this exact process just today to compile the list I have
for you, so let's get into the first camera.
So the first and the absolute cheapest on the list.
We have a Sony Rx
100 mark
to for some reason.
At the moment, there's no Alex 100 mark ones on the market.
So we've got the mark
to hear, and we've got several in a well used condition,
which I've mentioned videos before
about buying things and well used condition.
Just check the actual condition on MPB.
They normally have a few photos to be able to show you the exact model
and its current state of either disrepair or whatever.
The main thing to look at is the L.
C D screen, I find, because if you have a completely ruined L C D screen that can be
quite distracting.
So this Rx 100
from what you can
see the LCD screen, it's totally fine,
Nick.
They've still got the hot shoe cover on for some reason, but have also
simultaneously kind of scuffed up the edges
but again scuffed up edges.
You're going to do that to your camera at some point
anyway, so
you might as well if you're going to spend £174 on
a full fledged decent compact camera.
There are X 100.
Mark
two is not a bad decision.
So
£174 comes in at
$205.95.
100 has a 20 megapixel sensor with a lens that is a 28 to 100
millimetre equivalent, and that is on a one inch sensor.
I believe you know one of those, not one inch
sensors.
It also shoots full HD video at 60 FPs.
I don't believe the second Rx 100 had any sort of stabilization
in the
body.
Might have an optically stabilised lens, but in terms of photography, you've got quite a
lot of reach on that lens
and more resolution than you should know what to do with its got higher resolution than this a
seven s.
So as
far as I'm concerned, that's a pretty that's a pretty solid by actually under
£200 and it's $205.95
in total.
That is our cheapest Cameron list.
Let's move on to the second one.
This is the Fuji X
30.
These two are also in
heavily used
condition, but both of which that I found actually have the L.
C D.
In perfectly good condition, which again, I think it's probably the most
important thing.
There's a little bit of stuffing around the DVF on one of them, and the lens
is lucky in a little bit funky.
But if
you read the notes on MPB, they'll always
state what condition the cameras actually in.
If you ever received it and it wasn't in that condition, just send it back literally.
Send it back.
This camera comes in £194 which is $229.62.
This camera also shoots 10 80 p at 60 FPs, which is surprising.
The centre is only 12 megapixels, and next 30 also has a zoom lens.
So it's a 28 mil, up to 112 mil.
This is the absolute cheapest, all in one Fuji.
I can currently find an M P.
B, but we do
actually have another
Fuji coming up later in this list.
Next is probably my favourite and most surprising find on this list and the one that inspired
me to make this video because I was just browsing the other day,
I found this
particular camera in such good condition and thought I would buy that I would.
Genuinely by this.
And also the lens choice we have here is quite broad because of the
fact that it's interchangeable lens and it's microphone thirds.
So this is the Olympus pen e pl five.
There are actually
other more up to date versions
of the pl seven, the pl eight available on MPB.
So they're
the newer models, but in worse condition for a little bit more money.
But this one caught my eye just
because it was in such good condition, and I kind of preferred the overall
styling of this model.
Having not used any of the Olympus pens before, this one looks pretty decent, in my
opinion.
Has 16 megapixels does 10 80
p at 30 FPs.
So nothing special there.
The fact that we have an interchangeable lens
system and overall quite small, compact sort of street
photography styling it's got a nice grip on it.
I think with the right lens, this could be quite a pretty little street camera.
The lens that I have found for micro
four thirds in this situation is the Sigma 30
mil F 2.8, art lens that is a micro four thirds lens, and it's only
£84.
So when paired up with the Olympus, it comes to £198 and then
$234.48
for that entire setup, which to me is decent like, seriously,
seriously decent.
And I've never really had an Olympus.
I've shot with one a couple of times, but this looks like kind of a nice, kinda nice
option.
The only thing that makes me sort of concerned here is the lack of like manual dials around on the camera.
But anyone
who uses Olympus and specifically the pen series we'll be able to correct me on
that.
I'm assuming it's sort of fun deal with, like a multi function set up.
So I think pretty nice little micro four thirds kit and also
upgradable in terms of the lens path and the camera body
path.
Next up we have
the loom x g x seven.
So the older brother of this camera has been mentioned a lot in the comments of my Alex 100
video, the G X eight and also the G X nine is also out there, Which, to be honest,
looks like a fantastic camera when it comes to video.
The G 87 not too dissimilar from the cameras just looked at offers
ABC HD.
I Love the ABC HD stickers.
We don't get them anymore.
Remember at one point every single video camera would put ABC HD
on it like it mattered like we were ever going to use it.
Similar
styling to the pen, but obviously with a big, beefy viewfinder on it, which is quite nice.
And also this screen is in good condition.
This camera is actually rated in good condition.
We also have an addition of dials on here, so there's like a rear thumb dial,
also a top dial.
Here we have movie recording, and this camera body is
only £154.
This to me
looks like the kind of funky cousin of my Alex 100.
So if I was looking to get something interchangeable
lens that's
not too dissimilar, this is probably what I would look at the moment if I wanted to keep things
along the same sort of budget again.
We're gonna pair this up with this Sigma 30
Mills and that Sigma
comes at a 60 mil
for frame equivalent.
So just over 50 millimetres moral portrayed lens.
So
if you're gonna be using for street photography, there were some other,
like 14 mills out there
as well that you can look at
those 14 mills and 17 mills for
about the same amount of
money.
This G X seven is 16 megapixels.
Then we've also got 10 80 p
at 60 FPs.
I think as well.
It's a shame
that this camera is only available on MPB at the moment in black on black, because the silver on
black combination looks really, really nice if you're after something like specifically
with quite a street style.
So I think this is a pretty good shout.
And again, this only comes in at 238
pounds, which is 200
and $81.85 for an entire camera set up For, to be
honest, decent, decent photography in one of these G X bodies, what you are getting is a
compact centre, but with interchangeable lens capability.
So if you're looking for an affordable street, photography sets up and you're mainly shooting
during the day.
Micro four thirds is decent, and also the lenses are pretty.
Stop and change that.
You've got all the like like Olympics lenses.
The limits lenses themselves, the Olympus lenses.
There's sigma lenses.
There's a really large amount of micro four thirds class out there, and the
bodies
are cheap onto our fifth camera, and this is the only
one from Canon.
This is the Canon U.
S M.
Uh, this camera was an absolute punch in the gut when it came
out, when Cannon finally
made a mirror less camera and this is what they made.
I think everyone who was a frequent canon DSLR user
for both photo and video was gutted.
But now, looking at
retrospectively,
it's kind
of a funky little thing like it's ugly, in my opinion.
£104 in well used condition, but the screen is in perfect condition.
I have a feeling it's touch screen, which
is quite cool.
Um, and you have
the canon
interface, which, to be honest to me, is quite a big deal.
You have canon colours, to be honest, as long as you're not shooting video, shouldn't really
matter.
It comes in with 18 megapixels as
10 80 p video as well as 60 FPs.
I have a feeling the 60 FPs is only in 7 20 p.
Yeah, that's
correct.
It's an A PSC sensor, which means it's actually the biggest sensor on this line
up so far.
And also you then have access to all of Canon's E.
U S M lenses and all the EF lenses via
an adapter.
This is not the perfect
little camera.
I have a feeling that the U.
S.
M is probably a better photo camera than it was ever a video camera.
You can actually get Magic
lantern on this,
and I've actually seen DSLR video shooter did a Magic London false cinema rigged with this camera.
You definitely could get it to a pretty weird beast level if you really wanted
to push it that way.
But in terms of street
photography, I think it's a pretty
interesting
little bit of kit now,
especially when
lens wise you can get one of the 22 mil lenses, which I think
is a 30 mil or 35 mil for frame equivalent, and altogether that would
cost you £273 or $323.74
cents
for again.
Quite a nice little nifty bit of kit.
Not the absolute like
street favorite is kind of not vintage style or anything like
that.
Lou Mix Olympus and, of course,
Fuji Love that sort of style having like the digital take on a
range finder body.
But I think it's still quite interesting
one, and that is all five of our cameras that are under $400.
And now we have just one more that is just over $400 by like $30
So we have the Fuji X E one.
The Fuji XT one
is, of course, is the XC
two nxc three.
I believe now
the Fuji X E one is kind of like a faux like it, if you will, and this body is actually
£199 in good condition.
Has a 16 megapixel sensor
video 10.
80 p at 24 FPs.
But it
also has an interchangeable
lens system.
So say, if you're looking at something like a few
GX 100 you're looking at pretty much the same styling.
You don't have that hybrid
optical e VF, but you get a really nice future body,
that cool sort of grip.
And then
you can pick up the Fuji 35 mil X C F two lens,
which
comes in at a 50
mil for frame
equivalent, making the full set up £363 or 400
$32.26
cents.
My top
picks from this list would definitely be the Fuji XT one straight away, just because
it's the most capable Fuji camera at that price.
But then underneath that would probably skip the USM, even though it's one of the more valuable with a
bigger sensor, I probably look at, like the g x seven.
Just because I've had such a good time with Alex one
100 having
a muralist, interchangeable lens sort of version of that would be really, really
cool.
And then I probably consider the Olympus
if I was just getting a camera to have around for anyone to use something like that
Rx 100 mark
two that's under £200.
Like already pretty stuffed up.
That's something I'd consider getting and just let anyone use it.
Don't be precious with it or just take the photos, get the videos.
You'd have so much fun playing around with that camera.
Okay?
We have been browsing
