Sony A6300 – Please help choose my next lens – 30 or 55-210? I recently upgraded from a Canon 600D to an A6300. I am just a hobbyist and trying to dedicate some more of my free time to photography. I used the 600D exclusively with the 50mm 1.8 lens, which I love, just seems to be so much easier to capture a nice photo. Only problem was I was always running out of room with the crop factor. I got the 16-5…

Is there a rule of thumb for when iso starts showing noise and shutter speed more likely to have motion blur from a moving toddler as a subject? New to non cell phone cameras and just got the sigma 16mm f/1.4 for my Sony a6100 and have been experimenting with manual mode. Aperture seems like mostly personal preference based on subject, aside from less light with higher aperture. I am mostly photographing my toddler who as you can imagine is never still. Any rec on shutter speed for thi…
