I know almost nothing about cameras and now I know that I know nothing about lenses.

This is seriously so helpful! Getting started with cameras is so intimidating and expensive 😓

I decided to get into photography after being away from it for some time, and had to get new gear. This video was helpful in helping me make the best choices about what to get. I’m super happy with my setup. Thank you for the advice!

[lindseyclark]

you! This is so so so helpful! I've watched a handful of videos, almost bought a camera last night but fell asleep and decided to watch one more video before buying. Now I'm totally changing my game plan.

Thank you!!!!

Totally agree with the fancy lens+okay camera setup. I started with an entry level camera body but I even got hired for a few jobs with this setup lol. It also helped me to understand what I’m looking for in a camera body and to be creative squeezing everything bit of performance out of my camera. Great video!

Awesome advice, Allison!!! I wish I had known all these points early in my photo equipment buying days! I especially like your point that a fancy camera won't make you a great photographer. That comes with experience. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!!

This was fantastic info given in a simple, easy to understand format. I’m as beginner as it gets looking to from taking bird pics with my phone to buying my first camera & lens. Thanks so much, you did a great job.

This was the wisest advice I received on the subject after going through maybe 25 videos. And it's shorted than most at 8mins. Well done, Allison!!

[angelica.may.wander]

This is great advice! I’ve been using my old camera and been wanting to upgrade - definitely going to consider a new lens for it before I go for a new camera altogether!! ☺️

Thank you so much for this video. We want to buy our teenage son his first camera and budget is tight. You have definitely started us on to the right track. Thank you also for the Skillshare free trial. The "Fundamentals of DSLR Photography" by Justin Bridges is a really great starting point.

I got a kit lens with my Canon 6D and it is a great lens EF 24-105 L Zoom. It's a really nice walk around lens. I generally agree with your advice but it really depends on what comes with the kit if it's a Canon EF L series Lens or RF series it's generally an excellent lens. That being said I did purchase my 7d MK II without a lens but I already had EF L lenses I use.
