Thank you for the great video! I am starting to get into photography and I am going with the R8. Nice video though, keep up the good work. I like your video editing btw :)

[@Christian_Kurz]

Thank you, the R8 should be a great choice.

I shoot with a GFX50r and just picked up a D200 for 80$ to try some 'retro' photography. It takes beautiful pictures and you will learn everything you need to know using it. There is no need to agonize over the choices just pick up something cheap and learn to use it.

[@Christian_Kurz]

You can learn photography with every camera out there. Of course. But let´s be honest: you bought the d200 to try some retro and the people that want to start with photography they don´t want to try retro, they often shot with their smartphones before and would be very upset if they compare the images out of a d200 with the ones out of any modern Smartphone.

@@Christian_Kurz I can assure you the D200 pictures look better than any smartphone

​@@ironmonkey1512 I can assume D200's CCD sensor is phenomenal. I recently got myself a Canon D30 (not 30D), it's a first digital DSLR camera Canon produced, it only have 3MP's, but let me tell you, with the right glass and software it's a pure wonder. In good light colours and details are gorgeous, noise and resolution is not an issue today, thanks to amazing tools such as Topaz Photo AI and Lightroom. It's a truly a renaissance age for old cameras we live in. Excuse me, do you like the GFX50r?

Here to save you some time and give you some amazing camera names that you can buy not expensive stuff like a6700: Panasonic g80 - mft Sony A6300 / budget a6000 Samsung nx cameras are cheap : nx30 , nx300

[@Christian_Kurz]

I‘m fine with the Sonys, but the Samsung System is dead.

Canon R50 aspc camera for a beginner, very nice camera with a reasonable price, and pair it with a tamron 16-300 : perfect match to try different kind of phtography before investing more in this hobby

[@mihalic17]

Soooo, $2K for a beginner camera. Riiight….

[@Christian_Kurz]

Never said that cameras are cheap. Of course the used market is cheaper and you get cheaper apsc cameras that i recommended. But i think you get a lot for the Price and that is why i said that it would be my choice.

[@jameschetwynd]

I paid $280 Nickon coolpix p510 a 42x optical 24-1,000 great photos full function camera 16 megapixel 1080p 30fps video

[@Christian_Kurz]

Great that you are happy with your choice. Enjoy it and take many great photos.

[@pf4773]

yep, $2000 for a beginner camera when you don't know if you will even WANT to be a photographer?

[@jameschetwynd]

I agree with the vlogger about a SMALL palm-sized camera, but I do NOT agree that a camera costing $2000 is a good idea for a beginner :)!!! Consider instead the amazing SONY RX100 i, ii, or iii that cost around $500, have zoom lenses, a built in flash, cheap batteries, and a wonderful pop-up view finder, as well as a pop out back screen, and most important-beautiful images. Even better, buy the latest IPHONE or Samsung Galaxy cell and learn to use the high quality cameras in these phones. If you decide not to be a photographer you still have a great cell telephone to share pics with your friends. You can learn to shoot as a photographer with a good cell camera just like on a regular camera, but it's much easier-much more user friendly. The photos will not be as detailed/sharp/rich when blown up a bit, but so what? You are learning and deciding if you want to be a photographer :)! If you buy a cell, review the many you tube videos about how to shoot with the cell camera, or if you use a new iphone, go to the free classes at the Apple Store in your neighborhood. No matter what, never buy as a beginner, a detachable lens camera, you simply won't use it enough to warrant the cost, and they are too darn big to travel with or take to local events. Again, start with cells or palm sized cameras (under $600) then move up from there to APSC or full frame interchangeable lens cameras. Lastly, always consider used cameras sold by private parties who decide NOT to be photographers! You get great depreciation on such sites as Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, Offer-up. Amazon, EBAY are good as well, but you pay tax.

Canon 90d is also an excellent choice....

[@Christian_Kurz]

I´m sure it is.

[@zaheeravlog]

why camera is so expensive😢 i want to get into photography but step 1 of getting a camera is the only challenge (at least for now) for now i just using my iphone 11, its been yearssss😢

[@Christian_Kurz]

You get some good prices at the used market. If you don´t need the fastest autofocus, even the first Sony A7 has good image quality, same with the a6000. Lenses are affordable too on the used market.

[@zaheeravlog]

@ thanks for the camera recommendation! Appreciate it.

The future of MFT is difficult, it was often predicted to go down but it is still here. I just can´t suggest it to someone that is new into photography, because it's future is unpredictable.

[@ironmonkey1512]

@@Christian_Kurz A camera is a camera there is no need to future proof your choices.

@@ironmonkey1512 i want a camera with a mount that still recieves new lenses. so i do care about it.
