For anyone who wants to get into photography, ask yourself what do you want to photograph, and what's your budget. Then do research on what lenses are great for the niche you want to photograph then look online for used gear that fits your budget. A good rule of thumb is that 80% of your budget should go to everything other than the main body. That's the advice Zack Arias gave in a podcast and I find it to be useful.
Out of a lot of budgets and I don’t suggest this for new photographers but I paid 1,600 for a Sony A7IV with a 24-70 F2.8 GM with very low shutter count. Used cameras are also an option.
@@BouncingSparksJ yes used is definitely the way to go, I buy used when I can too. Return on investment is definitely better on used gear, great combo you got for that price 👏
Im looking at the canon r100 for Christmas. I'd like to do some wildlife photography, portraits, and landscape. Is the r100 suitable for this, If so, what size lens should I get?
@@FilmMaker2878 great little camera, Canon make a RF 100-400 which is a great lens for the price and nice and compact. Will give the equivalent of 150-600 on r100 👍
Just buy a camera you like and you know you will definitely take out and use. No point in spending money on something you’re going to use a few times then put on a shelf.
ive just ordered the Sony Alpha NEX-5N and it comes with a lens, it was a decent price but im not sure if i will actually enjoy photography, so im only using it as a test :)
Your not just buying a camera, your buy in into a system. It is best to go to a camera shop that sells new and used cameras and put your hand on them. How they feel in your hand and their button layout, menus..etc makes a difference. Also learn about light and practice, practice, practice.
Down graded to lumix gx80 so I always have a camera with me and it’s all I need for street, still have my good gear for major work but love the old lumix
this dude is goated
Super honest and straightforward! Appreciate it :)

@@mrfuzzy2954 great advice! And yes good glass on a cheap body can give great results 🙌
Just bought a Sony A6000 paired with a 7artisans 35mm 1.4f for quiet a deal and I think/hope it’s a really solid setup
@@redfire7538 great start for sure 👏
Thank you for the Information bro! May God bless you and guide you towards your goals! All the best :)
My pleasure, that's much appreciated 🙌
I recently got into it. Bought an old used Nikon dslr. Very cost effective lenses for starting out.
@@RobVI perfect that's the way to go 👍

Iam low budget film maker please offer one camera please requesting
Fujifilm xt5 don’t have to edit anything if you use the filters they already have and the stuff looks very good for not being a full frame

Good work, the everyday carry camera is definitely the go 👏
