Tips to Buy a Camera

KNOW YOURSELF

Before buying the camera we have to know ourselves, we must know the ability of our pocket, the seriousness and purpose that we want to achieve.

This goal can be a variety, for examples photographed just for fun, call of office or family event, or want to get more money by being a wedding photographer or wanna be a contributor of National Geographic as the writers dream every night or perhaps only to get a girl.

CAMERA

After that, let’s find out what type of camera that we need. In this era of super-sophisticated, consumers are pampered with a variety of cameras from compact cameras, pocket cameras, SLR to a Digital SLR with a wide range of brands. If you need more details you can read it in the next post.

SYSTEM

Need to understand also, buy a camera that not just buy the camera alone, but following the system and that we buy at the first sometimes determine the next investment.

For example if we buy a Digital SLR camera brand X, does not mean we just bought a camera and lens only, how it goes? If the nest step you want more serious there is going to need to buy FLASH, other lenses, Vertical Grips, remote, Converters, Lens adapter, and much more.

We are necessary to make lists of questions and comparisons with several types of brands, such as whether the distributor in your country or region we provide it? What about after sales service? What about quality and price and so on.

BUDGET

For the initial purchase should first specify how much our budget and we make the list of what we want to buy. Prior to the store, we browse, check prices and so forth. It will be better if there are friends who have the stuffs, we can borrowed for trying first before we make the decision which brand or type to buy.

Anyways without good preparation of what we want to buy, we will confuse when get in the store.

We also got to know well, sometimes we just plan to go out for $700, but it rose to $ 2000. it is very common, because when you see the tripod… you freak out to buy it, and you could not resist the Direct Flash then you also buy some lens and the filters, oh don’t forget the bag and so forth. That's fine, but it will be better if we go back to the budget. Step by step Bro!

TECHNOLOGY / QUALITY

The most frequently asked question is what is the best brand for camera? Which one is the most sophisticated? We'd better make sure the technology according to our needs. Not all that sophisticated fit for us. For example, we buy a camera with a speed of 8 frames per second but we just use the camera for macro photos, or a camera with a big pixel but we just use it for a 4R photo or to make photos to put in your wallet.

 

And the most IMPORTANT thing after you bought the camera… you have to use it! Bring it everywhere you go!
