Do you have to buy your own camera to learn photography?

Yes After all, it's better to have your own things. For example, if you want to take a photo, you feel inappropriate after taking it, and you really want to modify the parameters, which will take some effort. If it is a company camera or someone else's camera, there is often no way to make you play so slowly.

If you are really short of money, it is recommended to buy an entry-level machine with short shutdown time, such as Nikon D3000. The price of these machines, including pan/tilt, is around 3000, and their performance is far from outdated. If the company happens to have the corresponding lens, you can lend it to practice, which feels very suitable.

If you don't even have 3000 yuan, I suggest buying a digital camera with manual function. At present, Fuji S2900 is a good choice, less than 65,438+10,000 yuan. Basic functions such as aperture/shutter priority, full manual exposure and custom white balance are readily available, which can be used for the enlightenment of beginners. But the biggest drawback of such a camera is that it can't take pictures in raw format. To know that post-processing is also an important skill of photographers, JPG photos are very weak in this respect. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, it is recommended to buy at least one D3000 or even a second-hand SLR.
