How do novices choose cameras?

How do novices choose cameras? 1. Is it really necessary to buy a camera-

1. Occupation: Your occupation determines how much free time you have and how much time you can use the camera outside your daily life.

2. Learning: I warn you here that you can take beautiful photos without buying a camera, just like buying a car. If you don't drive, you will eat ash, so you need to learn and master some basic knowledge, such as:

① What are the three elements of exposure aperture, shutter and IS0 and how to adjust them?

② Most cameras don't have the functions of beauty and face-lifting and slimming. Friends who like to take selfies should at least send them to their mobile phones for retouching.

Second, the budget-

Budget: What you can spend on buying photographic equipment, including but not limited to camera body, lens, memory card, card reader, battery, camera bag, tripod, fill light, stabilizer, radio equipment and so on. The budget should include all the equipment you need, not just the fuselage, or just the fuselage+lens.

Status: price increase, premium, out of stock

1, Canon, Sony, Nikon, most models have price increases and premiums, and a few models are out of stock.

2. Fuji premium products and out of stock are the most serious, and the e-commerce platform is out of stock.

Budget proposal: (only represents my own point of view, and the bar is your right)

Below 5000: camera phone, second-hand APSC micro-single or SLR.

5K- 1W:APSC micro single or SLR, second-hand Quan Huafu micro single.

1W- 1W5: Quan Huafu micro single or SLR.

The above suggestions are based on the model prices of current mainstream brands, such as:

Canon entry-level micro single R50 kit 5599 SLR 200Dl kit 6499

Nikon entry-level Z30 sets of mobile single 6499 SLR D3500 sets of machine 4899

6400 sets of Sony starter collection micro-sheets ￥6899 micro-sheets ZV-E 10 sets of machines ￥5799.

Therefore, it is not recommended to consider brand-new cameras for budgets below 5,000 yuan. We play photography, not be played by photography. We play with more money, and play with less money. It's good to have enough equipment, and it's important to have fun.

Third, use-

Usage: buy a camera to shoot something, such as taking pictures, videos, portraits, scenery, sweeping the streets, pets, travel, life records, sports, etc. This should be considered according to your own situation. Personally, I suggest choosing one first. The more subjects you want to shoot, the more camera functions and lenses with different focal lengths you need, and the higher the cost. I don't want to shoot everything, but the budget is small and unrealistic. You should learn to choose between the two.

Suggestions on purchasing portrait photographic equipment;

1. Camera: APSC format can be used, if the budget is enough, choose Quan Huafu. Priority is given to eye control focusing, which is fast, suitable for snapshot, anti-shake, flip screen and full touch screen, and more friendly to novices. With WIFI function, it can be connected with mobile phone to transmit pictures and shoot remotely.

2, lens: recommend a fixed-focus lens with medium telephoto and large aperture, with better background blur and better anti-shake function. If not, practice hand-held focusing stably.

3. Accessories: reflector, flash, portable LED glow stick with adjustable color temperature, soft mirror.

Second-hand photographic equipment purchase channel: second-hand water depth, purchase should be cautious.

1. Offline physical store: choose a merchant with large storefront, long operation time and after-sales warranty. If you can make an invoice, you must make an invoice. If you can't invoice, you must also have a receipt, invoice or receipt, indicate the warranty items, and affix the official seal or signature of the merchant. If the merchant is unwilling, change to another one.

2. Online e-commerce platform: give priority to merchants with good credit and guaranteed quality. All chats and transactions are conducted under the platform. Don't switch to other chat software and individual sellers. Generally, there is no quality guarantee, unless you are familiar with the people and the equipment you are trading.

Fourth, personal preferences-

Do you have a favorite brand, such as:

1, the reddish complexion of the Canon portrait.

2, Fuji filter straight out colorless.

3, Nikon for landscape photography software tuning, the fuselage grip is comfortable.

4. Sony maintains a good image quality, and at the same time has a small and light body shape and a rich lens group.

Choosing a brand is more like choosing a system, just like a mobile phone. It's up to you to choose the diversity and playability of Android or the quietness and stability of Apple.

Do you care about the camera's face value and some useful functions?

1, the face value of the camera may affect whether you will take it out.

2, volume and weight, affect the convenience of carrying, and the mood of shooting in a day.
