Shopper conversation with Courtney B on July 15, 2016

hi
Courtney B
Hi! How are you? I noticed that you were looking at the Canon 70D?
Did you have some questions about this camera tonight?
Canon EOS 70D Digital SLR Camera Body Kit, with EF-S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens
Courtney B
Ok!
yes, is this considerate full frame?
Courtney B
No
The Canon 70D is a crop sensor camera
is this a good camera?
Courtney B
Absolutely!
It's a great camera!
im more into travel pictures
Courtney B
Ok! It would be excellent for travel photos
Would this be your first DSLR camera?
i know it is a heavy camera
Courtney B
Yes, it is
any other recommendations?
i have anikon D60
Courtney B
Ok!
Were you wanting to switch to Canon?
yes, i do
Courtney B
Ok!
What's your budget for the camera?
i would love less than 1000
Courtney B
Ok!
with a good lense
Courtney B
Alright! It sounds like the Canon 70D would be your best option then
If you go to the 6D or 7D Mark II, it will be above $1000
how about T51?
is for too beginners?
Courtney B
That would be a step down from this, but it's still a very good camera!
actually whats te difference?
Courtney B
Let me go over them!
field of depth and sharp pixels?
Courtney B
The depth of field is determined by the lens rather than the camera
if I compare my D60 nikon , 70D will be a step up?
Courtney B
The 70D is a prosumer camera, so it's more durable and weather sealed
It also has faster autofocus, better video and image quality, less noise at high ISO's, a larger viewfinder, longer battery life, faster shooting, more focus points and higher resolution than the T5i
Yes, this would be a step up from your Nikon D60
good!
Courtney B
:-)
any smaller recommendation for travels?
Courtney B
Sure!
Would you be interested in a mirrorless camera?
what is that? :-(
Courtney B
It's a smaller, more compact camera, but it still has interchangeable lenses
can i see one? is it a professional camera?
Courtney B
Here's an example
This is along the lines of the 70D and T5i, but not really considered professional
Do you have any questions about this camera?
It has excellent image quality, but it's a lot smaller than a DSLR
