What Should You Look for in a Pro Camera?

You have carefully perfected your technique, you have developed a creative style, and you are ready to truly invest in a professional-level camera. How do you choose the right one for your work? Before you drop a significant amount of money on one, check out this fantastic video that details what you should be looking for in a professional camera. 

Coming to you from Maarten Heilbron, this great video talks about what you should look for in a professional camera. Certainly, this can be a really exciting purchase, but it also a really expensive one, and as such, it is well worth taking the time to carefully consider the decision. One thing to remember is that this sort of purchase is not just about the camera. When you invest in a high-level camera, you are also committing yourself to a certain library of lenses, accessories, and more. In fact, the lenses are arguably more important. Professional cameras are all incredibly capable devices these days, and it is hard to go wrong no matter which you choose. However, the lens libraries of different manufacturers have considerable differences between them, and unless you absolutely need a specific feature in a certain camera, you might be better off letting the lenses lead the way. Check out the video above for Heilbron's full thoughts.
