Cameras
Everybody wants to know what camera to buy?
Answer: A manual camera, film or digi, whatever.
Here is a photo of my first camera, a Minolta SRT201. My daughter is using it now. I bought it 28 years ago and it still works killer. Don’t get hung up on gear, it’s just a box with a piece of glass on it. It’s just a machine, it’s not the Car, it’s the driver, crappy driver in a hot car still loses the race.
You still want to know what camera to buy? A Canon or Nikon. Film or digital? Either, in the long run digi is cheaper than film. Film is more OG and you learn a lot about photography by shooting it.
The pro shooters use the Canon Mark II and III, or use a Canon Rebel to save money. Atiba just bought a Nikon D3, so I guess that’s the best since he’s using it.
I helped start another mag 25 years ago with a Pentax K1000 and that Minolta I was bragging about. They are ancient compared to today’s standards.
I could shoot a photo with my newer Canon EOS1n film camera and a photo with that old Minolta and you probably would not be able to tell which camera shot what photo? In the end, nobody cares what camera took a photo as long as it’s a good photo. You can have the best $7000 camera, but if you lack skills, it’s all wasted.
