Shopper conversation with Courtney B on July 15, 2016

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?
hi, thought i lost this chat
Courtney B
I'm still here :-)
if i buy this open box 70D, which sense you recomend
Courtney B
I would personally go with the 18-135mm lens
It has a lot more versatility and range
EF-S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens
this one doesn't have it?
Courtney B
No. Let me bring up the 18-135mm option
is for traveling
Courtney B
Ok!
The 18-135mm lens is a bit larger, but has more range for a variety of uses
my budget is 1000
Courtney B
Ok, this one is $1099, so a bit over your budget
In that case, the 18-55mm lens would be good :-)
the difference is too much?
so, actually is more the effect for the image?
Courtney B
The difference is just that you'd get more zoom from the 18-135mm lens
got it
Courtney B
:-)
any recommendation for travel cameras not that heavy? this one is heavy right?
Courtney B
It is heavy. I would recommend the Sony A6000 for travel if you want a lighter camera
That's the one that I had sent previously
ok, sorry, thought it was a other person
Courtney B
No problem! That's ok!
i see you do portraits, what camera do you have?
because i like portraits too
Courtney B
I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark III
i want camera that I can use for traveling and normal days
Courtney B
Ok!
The Sony A6000 would be fantastic for that!
those are for more expert people
Courtney B
Yes, the 5D Mark III is over $2000
So it's more of a professional camera
ok, last question. any other recommendation for canon professional ones, good for travel?
Courtney B
Well, the professional level cameras from Canon are all over $1000
So unfortunately they'd all be over your budget
ok, thanks
Courtney B
You're welcome!
i got a 6D with 28-300 tamron lense, but will return it :-(
Courtney B
Ok! Do you like it?
havent open, seems very nice, but i think its more luxury and complicated for me right now since i don't understand much of these cameras
Courtney B
Ok!
That's understandable.
i shoot only in auto most of the time
Courtney B
Ok!
Then it's probably more camera than what you need
sure, i need to learn more and invest when I ready.
Courtney B
That sounds like a good plan! :-)
thank you!, enjoy your camera, that i know is a good one!
Courtney B
It is! :-) Thanks!
Make sure to stop back in chat if you have any further questions, ok?
thank you!, which is smaller good cameras in canon?
Courtney B
They don't get much smaller than the 70D, but the Canon SL1 is the smallest option
70D is better camera right?
Courtney B
Yes, it is
ok, fair enough tis!
Courtney B
:-)
