Not sure if this is a camera or lens question, but am posting it here. Moderators feel free to move the post if necessary.
Wanted everyone's opinion.
I am a hobby shooter, these days mainly taking photos of my 2 year old (wolfiepup).
Wolfieboy was trying to take photos of wolfiepup and I last night and complained about my camera kit.
He's not used to my manual lenses, so I offered him my k-01 attached with the sigma 17-70/2.8. That is the best body and fastest focal range AF lens I have in my kit. He complained about the lag between pressing the shutter and getting a picture. Photo was taken in artificial lighting at night, ISO at its highest and shutter speed at 1/4000. It was set to auto, so really in my book this was as best as it was going to get....
He asked why I couldn't own a camera that could just take photos the minute you hit the button. And that there are lots of cameras out there that can do that.......
I wanted all your opinions on what my problem is. Is it the lens? Do I just need a faster AF lens? Or is it the body? I'd assume that the k-01 is pretty speedy, but what do I know?
I assumed that a dslr is always going to do better than a point and shoot - but perhaps I am wrong?
I just want to have decent shots of wolfiepup and I that aren't done by selfies, because wolfieboy gets too frustrated to take photos of us because my kit doesn't work for him...
Thoughts?
