BE HONEST - What were your results? FUN!!! :)

No, it's not about camera, it's all about Adobe lightroom skill.

If you’re not creating with the camera you already have, you won’t create anything with a more expensive one 👊🏻

I can't imagine how many beginners (in awe of the cost of high end equipment) this video has encouraged to continue to pursue their dream of learning the art of photography.

Looks at my $400 camera- It's okay little buddy, the bad people won't hurt you here

*cheap camera 500$*

Me owning a 50 dollar camera: suprised pikachu face

[JStieloSoloPhysique]

Me: I'm so happy I have my first camera. 4K .. great specs.. only $500.. Let me check out some YouTubers
PM: "I'm talking about bottom of the line $500 or less"

[NotThatGuySadly]

Me: *Just spent my life savings on a 500$ camera*
Peter McKinnon: "I'm talking about bottom of the line $500 or less"

Now my problem is: I don’t have the knowledge

With good lighting, the difference is small. But lets try the same game in hard conditions...

Thats the difference : a pro camera will allow you to not care about any limits. Thats all.

When you ask a photographer what kind of camera they are, it's like asking a poet what kind of pen they are

[Csongor_Radai]

Everyone’s problem: Their gear is not good enough...
My problem: I am not Peter McKinnon enough...

[allthingstech]

Canon will be like 'Cheers Pete, costing us thousands man!"

[DeanaandPhil]

It's so easy to go down the gear & tech rabbit hole. This video is great motivation to work on skills instead! =)

A nifty 50 prime does tend to help with nice sharp images.
It would be interesting to see what a pro makes of pictures shot with a $4000 camera with a cheap plastic budget kit lens on the front.

I’m new to photography and videography but I’ve been an audio engineer for 18 years. Coming to find the same principles apply. I tell people all the time, you don’t need a 3000 mic to have a great recording. The differences are truly minuscule if you know how to WORK the equipment you have

[MountainCrestFarm]

Having spent 30 of my 64 years behind a camera I'd say you need to spend thousands...on learning to be a photographer. A good photographer can run a cheap camera but a poor photographer cannot run ANY camera.

I love the when the fstop and shutter speed is given... those references help me a lot... graphic designer looking to level up and the content you make keeps me thinking photography should have been my second study in college...

[jupaz]

Peter, I gotta say your videos having been soo much help, been into photography for the past year and a bit now and recently decided to take it a step farther and create a business out of this passion. been checking out all you videos and Chris Haus videos too. I appreciate what you do and the info you share. great motivation for us beginners.

Loved the stories of your early experiences but times have really changed. It was 1952. I was 13 and had just thrown a roll of B&W 620 film into my Kodak Brownie Hawkeye and proceeded the 6 blocks to a grand opening of a new gas station. I shot 10 of the 12 shots on the roll and developed it that night using a Kodak tri chem pack. The next day I went to a local camera store and had him make an 8x10 of the best negative. Total cost, if I remember right (for the film and the enlargement ), came to about 2 bucks. That afternoon I sold the print to the owner of the station for the grand sum of 6 dollars. Wow, I tripled my money and got hooked for life. In the 66 years that have flown by since, I've never forgot my first sale.
