10 Helpful Tips for Buying a Camera

Buying a camera is one of the most exciting and important decisions a photographer can make, and as such, it deserves some careful thought. Before you pull out your credit card, check out this fantastic video tutorial that offers 10 bits of helpful advice to help ensure you pick the right camera for your needs, wants, and budget. 

Coming to you from Roman Fox, this helpful video tutorial discusses 10 tips for buying the right camera for you. In my opinion, the most important thing photographers should think about when purchasing a new camera is not the camera, but the lenses. The truth is that pretty much all modern cameras are highly capable, and while there are certainly differences between them, for the most part, pretty much any option will cover that majority of needs. On the other hand, lenses can differ significantly between manufacturers, both in quality and range of options. This extends to third-party lenses as well, as some mounts offer a wide range of different options outside the manufacturer's own lenses, but others are more locked down, which can have significant ramifications on both your needs and budget. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Fox.
