Do you burn money by playing photography

Come on, let's talk about how much it costs to play photography today.

There is a particularly popular saying among online photographers, which is called "photography is poor for three generations, and SLR destroys life" (now I want to add that there is no reverse, after all, there is no reverse price). In addition, many aunts and grandmothers are shooting birds and lotus flowers in the park with large black telephoto lenses. Outsiders seem to be demanding, so many people think photography is a very expensive thing.

But it is not as exaggerated as most people think. According to the equipment and price in 20 18, the flagship level of 2w yuan is actually affordable for most people or families, and most people who buy this machine can live on it. For those who tinker, they just find photography interesting. They buy an entry-level or mid-range camera to play with, take a photo when they travel and record their daily life. For them, cameras are like dispensable things, and they don't invest too much in them. The mid-range camera+lens will not exceed 1w, which is not a big problem for white-collar workers.

However, for professional photographers, 2w flagship machine, plus 3 yuan, is about 7w, which can basically meet the shooting needs. This is for outdoor landscape photographers. If you are a portrait photographer, you can add lighting equipment, but it is almost the same to shoot scenery such as super wide angle. After the shooting needs are basically met, if you want to pursue more gameplay, try film, medium format or even large format, which costs more money than digital photography.
