Some people say that photography is a waste of money. what do you think?

Learning photography is not a waste of money, is it? Learning a technology or professional knowledge costs money. Learning photography is more expensive, but as long as you study hard, you will always get something. The following is the basic configuration that photography students need to pay at their own expense. In fact, it is similar to the money spent by photographers, and you don't even have to spend as much money as those photographers. Moreover, the photographic equipment that seems to be tall can actually be borrowed from the college, such as taking homework and graduating.

I still use 80D myself at present, which is basically enough, although not enough. (A photo taken casually)

An entry-level or intermediate DSLR SLR camera (APS-C format is enough, and you don't need to buy a full-frame camera when you study). Which to buy depends on your budget. An intermediate camera can make you not need to upgrade the fuselage in the next three years, which will be a better choice. Examples are Canon 60D, Nikon 7000 and Sony A66. Better Canon80D and NikonD7200. Of course, if you are a local tyrant or a rich second generation, you can choose 5D or something.

Canon 80D (price 8000-9000, a treasure or other channels will be cheaper, but you must buy genuine products. Photography equipment industry is relatively deep, standard lens 18- 135 mm, universal lens, which can be near or far, ordinary shooting, no features).

The purchase of lenses depends on everyone's different photography styles (but generally good, fixed-focus lenses are more expensive). For example, portrait photography generally uses a lens with a large aperture, and a 35mm lens is recommended. 35mm lens is a universal focal length in portrait photography, which is often used for environmental portraits. Generally, it is necessary to combine the shooting environment with the portrait, so it will be shot with a 35mm lens.
