Buy A Camera You’ll Use Often

“Buy a camera you’ll use often…” is the kind of advice I give to camera enthusiasts. As a photographer, I am usually asked for advice about cameras and the like. Most of the questions start out like this…

“I want to buy a camera and I want to know what is the best camera I should buy…?”

There is no particular answer to this but if pressed, I will recommend the cheapest digital SLR body and a general purpose lens with a large range.

The best camera anyone can buy is the camera that they will use most often! Why? Because great pictures aren’t the result of an expensive camera but the result of a creative photographer!

Seriously, buy a camera you’ll use often and upgrade when you want! That’s the best way to get the most value from your camera.

This also ensures that you will grow in comfort and efficiency with your new creative tool.
