Recently I’ve mentioned about my Anytime Anywhere kit that I keep with me all the time for those just incase the chance of a portrait should present itself moments.
I’ve been asked about the kit a number of times over on social media having posted a number of portraits taken with it and you can see the main post HERE.
Basically, this is was the kit: Canon 5D MKIII, Lumiquest III Softbox, Phottix Mitros+ Flash and the Phottix Odin Transmitter:
Even more recently I’ve made a change to the kit by swapping out the Canon 5D MKIII for a new Canon 760D that I purchased last week.
Why? Well a number of reasons really, with the main ones being:
- It can stay in my Anytime Anywhere bag unlike the 5D which is my workhorse
- It’s small & Light
- The LCD screen is moveable
- Great quality
- Great Price
- Perfect for days away/holidays for the reasons above
PLUS it wouldn’t be such a disaster if I lost it whereas if I lost my 5D it would!
Like I’ve mentioned, I’ve only had the camera for just over a week now but am seriously impressed with the quality especially as it’s marketed as a for beginners.
I’ll be posting pictures taken with the 760D and my Anytime Anywhere kit over the coming days, weeks but to finish for today, a HUGE thanks to my Buddy Brian Worley for the recommendation for this great little camera/companion!
Oh one extra thing to mention…as this Canon 760D has a crop sensor (1.6x) I’ve also replaced the 85mm f/1.8 with a 50mm f/1.8 which gives me the equivalent of 80mm; a great lens at a crazy low price and is incredibly sharp!
Cheers,
Glyn
Thanks for the mention Glyn, you’re welcome and so happy that it is indeed the right camera for your Anytime Anywhere Portrait Kit
You’re welcome mate…thanks for the top recommendation 😉
Beginners cameras are soooo good these days, My first DLSR was a tiny Canon 350D which is absolutely prehistoric by comparison!
