Do I need an expensive camera?

There is a misconception of having an expensive camera to take better photos. But don’t believe this myth as long as you are a good photographer. Even the cheapest cameras produce good photos. A camera with a decent resolution, optical zoom, a shutter that suits your needs, and a good sensor will definitely give you good results, as long as you know the proper use of light and exposure. So basically it is you who should take good photos and not the camera. The camera functions are there to help you.

All those expensive equipment and optics hardly matter if you are a good photographer. Expensive cameras just simplify your job. They have fast processors with better build quality, but that doesn’t mean cheap cameras deprive you of good photography. Expensive cameras mainly have a higher optical zoom, better sensors for clicking clean and clear images, faster shutter speed, automatic noise reduction, etc., so in other words, photography is easier.

You can buy a less expensive camera initially, practice with it, become more skilled, and then go for an expensive camera when you think it is capable of using all the functions. To use all the functions of DSLRs, it takes a lot of practice and dedication towards photography.

Remember one thing that a good photographer can take good pictures even with a bad camera, but a bad photographer cannot take good pictures even with the best cameras. Hope you got my point!

Practice makes the man perfect and photography is no different. Keep practicing …
