budget can determine the level of the camera we choose, because from entry-level, intermediate flagship machine, quasi-professional, professional, and top-level, the prices of different machine levels are also significantly different, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands.
When making budgets, you should consider configuration issues. You cannot just focus on the budget of the machine. You must think clearly about how to match the lens and other accessories, otherwise it will easily exceed the budget range.
2, target positioning
Positioning for photography enthusiasts means whether to take pictures frequently or occasionally, there are some differences here.
is intended to be a regular enthusiast, most people choose to start with ordinary machines, practice the technology and then upgrade the machine;
is just to play occasionally, many people choose to choose the best configuration within the budget in one step.
However, I personally recommend that if you plan to shoot for a long time, you can start directly from the full frame, even second-hand ones, which can avoid repeated investment caused by upgrading the machine within a period of time, which is more cost-effective.
3, shooting theme
0, shooting themes will also have different performance requirements for the machine.
For example, if you plan to shoot scenery, you can consider the pixel high point, so that there can be enough details when cropping later; if you plan to shoot portraits, you don’t have to pursue such high pixels, because the pixels are high, and the post-processing requirements for computer configuration are relatively higher.
If you plan to buy it to sweep the street, it will have requirements for the focus performance, continuous shooting speed, etc. of the machine with fast focus and high continuous shooting speed is more conducive to capture and a higher film output rate.
4. There is another reference factor, that is, it is beneficial to choose the brand of friends around you to use
and friends around you to use the same brand of machines.
For example, when you start using it, you can ask friends for some experience in using it. After all, it is a brand, and most of the operations are the same. The most practical benefit of
is that it can save some money on the lens. When configuring the lens, it can complement the focal length of your friends, so that when you play together, you can experience more focal lengths of the lens without having to enter more lenses.
Whether it is for contact photography or upgraded equipment, it is correct to consider the most cost-effective configuration within the budget.
No one stipulates that novices who have just obtained a driver's license cannot drive luxury cars, so don't be afraid of not using high-end machines well if you are new to them. In fact, it is more cost-effective to use high-end machines under budget.
Unless you plan to fight individually for a long time, you will be crowded with shooting and communication, and most people will not be able to escape the pursuit of better machines.
