A Guide to Shooting With Sony Cameras and Lenses on a Budget

Sony offers some of the most advanced cameras and lenses in the world, but of course, tricking out your entire kit can quickly cause the costs to add up. That being said, if you do not insist on having the absolute best equipment, it is quite possible to build a competent and capable Sony kit without breaking the bank. This helpful video will take you through the best options for cameras, primes, and zoom lenses. 

Coming to you from Dustin Abbott, this awesome video will show you the best options for shooting with Sony cameras and lenses on a budget. No doubt, you can spend a ton of money obtaining some of Sony's best, but unless you really need features like 30 fps or 8K video, it is worth noting that the lower-level options are impressively capable and can tackle a wide variety of options. In particular, it is well worth taking a look at Tamron's lenses, which are highly practical and capable. And when it comes to choosing a body, I really recommend both the a7 III and a7R III, which are still fantastic cameras that can easily tackle a wide variety of needs. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Abbott.

Right up my alley. :D

It’s crazy nowadays that one needs to apologize because some fan boys were triggered. People are going in the wrong direction. Good video!
