Best camera + lens combo under €1400 for toddler photography?
Please recommend me a body camera and a suitable lens for taking photos of my child. That’s basically the main reason why I want to buy a camera, so I’ll focus more on portraits and less on landscapes.
What I’m looking for:
- good stabilization, or at least decent stabilization; as I mentioned, I want to photograph my child (currently 1 year old), who moves around a lot
- decent performance in low light
- good-looking photos in automatic mode as well (I’m willing to learn and use manual settings too, but I don’t really have much time since I’m a single mom)
- a total budget of maximum €1400 for the camera and lens together
I also really like taking photos with zoom/background blur (that blurry background effect). Sorry, I don’t know the technical terms, I’m a beginner.
A photographer friend recommended the Fujifilm X-T50 with the TTArtisan AF 56mm F1.8 APS-C Fuji X autofocus lens. Would this be a good combination for what I want. While searching online, I also read that the Sony A6700 might be a good fit for my needs.
(1) Budget, country, and currency: max 1400€ for both camera and lens, Romania, lei/euro
(2) What equipment, if any, you have now and why is it no longer meeting your needs?
I don't have any camera at the moment
(3) What kinds of subjects do you intend to shoot?
My kid 😄 who is constantly running
(4) Is it primarily for photography, videography, or both?
For photography
I’d really appreciate your recommendations. Thank you!
