Photography beginners buy cameras.

First of all, congratulations! The textbook "New York Institute of Photography" is the best textbook for getting started and improving photography. You can study it well.

Photography really needs practice. After mastering certain theoretical knowledge, practice filming, watch and evaluate films, and gradually improve your photography skills and level and artistic accomplishment through continuous practice. In a word-shoot more, watch more, watch more, watch more, shoot more.

As an entry-level camera, anything can be done. In fact, what matters is whether you put your heart into it. For example, if you shoot with your mobile phone first, you think it's not enough to shoot too much. If you want to change the camera, shoot it with a digital card machine first. After studying for a while, I feel that the card machine is very uncomfortable and I need to upgrade the SLR. When shooting fun shots, SLR is like scouring for poison shots, so it's the hottest time for photography.

First, it is recommended to go to the card machine, Fuji F 100fd, F200EXR, F305, or Panasonic LX2-LX5 series. The former second-hand price is below 2000, and the latter is below 3500.

Another solution is to find a second-hand SLR, such as Canon 20D, mid-range weapon, second-hand 1500, which is of great value. Equipped with a small spittoon (meter), hundreds, the best and most cost-effective SLR configuration.

Of course, it would be much better to find a master to take the lead in filming and let him (her) guide you more. In addition, there are many more exchange activities, and there are many more opportunities to go out to collect ideas and watch movie reviews.

The last sentence: As long as you put your heart into it, shoot more and think more, you will definitely make progress!
