Buy a SLR camera, SLR master,

Quan Huafu's 5D MarkII can be selected regardless of the funding problem, and it is the most suitable medium and high-end machine for amateur use at present. Canon 1 series and Nikon D3 series are too heavy, and the functions of rain protection and 10 continuous shooting per second are of little value to amateur users, so there is no need to buy a top-mounted machine. Don't worry about unfounded things. The principle and operation of SLR are the same, but the advanced machine is more convenient and comfortable to control.

The matching of lenses is more complicated. Journalists like 16-35, 24-70, 70-200 are very good, but they have no personality and are not recommended. Amateur users should pay more attention to playability and match a fixed-focus lens according to their own preferences on the basis of a 24- 105 that can cope with various situations. Canon's trump cards are 35/ 1.4L and 85/1.2l. The former is suitable for taking pictures of people, while the latter is suitable for taking portraits. If conditions permit, you can experience it all. A 35mm lens is a great exercise for photography, and countless masters have made masterpieces with a 35mm lens. If the cost is not considered, Zeiss Makro Planar 100/2 is an unforgettable macro, which can also be considered. If telephoto is needed, Canon's new generation 70-200/2.8L II is excellent and the best choice.

In addition, if you are interested in playing macro, you should have a tripod, and the weight of the machine should be at least two or three thousand; If you like to take portraits, you should have a flash, Canon's 580EXII, more than 3,000.

Camera bags should also be considered. Personally, I prefer Crumpler, Domke and National Geographic (mainly good-looking). The fuselage plus two or three lenses, as well as tripods/lights and bags, add up to 50 thousand or 60 thousand in the early stage, which is probably enough. There is no need to buy them all at once. It is also fun to buy and experience your favorite lenses slowly.
