If you're a brand new photographer the best camera and lens are the ones you already have.

Instead of just focusing on the low light aspect (I've had f3.5-5.6 lenses my while life and you can still work with that), the most significant upgrade anyone will notice is the image quality and sharpness when moving away from the kit lens. Both on Canon and Sony (the systems I've had), kit lenses are not terrible, but kinda bad. They also feel flimsy and non-inspiring. But yes, after that the aperture size is the most significant thing (for beginners). But there is also a "risk". Many 2.8 lenses so not perform very well at 2.8, and having to stop down to f4 or f5.6 to be really good, and that defeats it's purpose. Lenses that are good at f2.8 are usually very expensive. So it's all a big compromise and a big labyrinth. Just thought ppl should be aware of that too.

For a beginner apsc camera: 17-55 f2.8 35 mm f1.8 50mm f1.8 55-200mm or 55-300mm. With about 400, it's possible buy all lenses.

I've had a Canon M50 and the kit 15-45 lens for 2 years, built a career in photography with it. I'm just now upgrading to a telephoto lens and a good low light prime in a focal length I use often. I got all my stuff used or refurbished, many of my jobs that want a particular set of equipment have provided such equipment. Otherwise, I get good photos with what I have. I'm very very greatful for the way I started because it's kinda molded my own personal style, but I'll never tell anyone they should do it the way I did. My way worked for me because it's how I adapted with what I had, the most important things to learn when starting out are framing, what the exposure triangle means/how to use the tradeoffs to your advantage, and (if you do nature, wildlife, outdoors sports, etc. like I do) timing the weather and sunlight in your area to get the shots you want. Oh yeah, whitebalance too. Early on, I had very hard lessons learned about whitebalance. It's probably the least sexy part about photography, so nobody talks about it, but getting whitebalance correct is very helpful.

A few things I’ll add is not all crop sensor cameras are APSC, some are MFT or APSH. Also not all rebels are cropped because there’s the rebel Ti (not T1i)

Not all cameras are full frame or APS-C. Olympus sells a lot of micro 4/3rds sensor cameras. And of course there's also medium format sensor cameras, but beginners aren't using those.

Imo, for someone who is interested in taking good pictures, a decent prime will teach them how to actually compose shots well with their legs and give a much better image quality. If I were starting out again, I'd buy a 35 or a 50mm equivalent lens and shoot that until I feel like I need to move on. Zooms usually make begginers stay in one spot and simply compose everything by zooming in.

Crop sensor cameras are great if you want as much zoom as possible. And although full frame shooters might look down on crop sensor cameras, they're are still 10x better than compact camera and phone sensors. And if anyone ever tells you your aps-c camera isn't "professional", ask them if they've ever heard of medium format cameras.

You forgot the option of micro four thirds. I LOVE my Panasonic LUMIX GH5M2, and my G85. Intuitive to use while I’m learning, not exceptionally heavy or large. I do have a couple zooms, but I love my primes. Though I have a couple better zoom lenses on my wish list. A bit pricey though, I gotta save some $$.

● Best beginner lens is 28mm F2.8.. Wide enough for indoors & Landscapes. 40mm is great for Portraits because 50mm can be too close. 40mm has practically zero distortion & is very sharp. Walking forward is easier than retreating.

Olympus m5 mark ii with 12-40 f2.8, second hand. Best value for the money, most freedom in any camera and you don't need to care about the weather. 😊

I chose Sigma 17-50 instead and it's still great.

In the beginning my biggest reason for switching to a 2.8 was the fact it didn’t automatically change my f-stop when zooming in/out. That drove me crazy the year I started shooting

Absolutely agree. Sigma 17-55 f2.8. I love that lens for street photography. One of the best purchases I have made.

In my opinion, start the game with zoom lens can make beginner confuse because with each focal length there are difference focal effect that lead to the fact the we have to change the composition and the “style” of the picture. With beginner i’m affraid that could’nt catch that idea yet so this will make them frustrated.

I choose sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC hsm art for my landscape photography 😊

Kit lens for Nikon Z is the 24-70 f4, which is fantastic. Best kit lens ever.

Ooo i remember when i bought a sigma 17-55 f2.8 (one of the sharpest lenses on that zoom range) for my canon 80d, i got it on the grey market for around 200 euro. An amazing lens, and re-sold it for the same prize.

A go to for zoom lenses will be 24-70 or 18-35 from Sigma Art 😉✨ these are dope, I mean for those who aren’t really handy with prime lenses

Great advice! Love that lens

Just got my R6 II and the first thing for me is to buy any 24-70 2.8 on the market

Your videos has been teaching me ever since I found your channel. Thank you!

I just bought a 100mm f/2.8 macro lens for mine. I'm very excited.

I've been using it since March and it's great

my first lens is going to be the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 for my a6500, not sure i’m going to get much use out of the 16-50mm Sony kit lens so i had to invest in a good one, very excited.

I replaced the 18-55 kit lens with that 17-55 USM. Omg what a difference. That lens is baller on the crop sensor Canons.

I absolutely love your video quality! Fabtastic

Cheap camera FF with basic 50 1.8 and second hand 24-105 f4 if you go for canon its great you can purchase R or RP or R8 rf 50 1.8 and EF 24-105 f4 with adapter.. and start shooting ❤️

Im a beginner and I have that exact lens to use for concert photography and its amazing i love it.

*Cries in MFT

Thanks for all of your help you really help me out a lot!!

I bought my first camera yesterday......i was a hater of the 18-55 lens. But once i started shooting i am amazed by it.

Just what i need today thank capt

Best beginner advice given by a beginner is not always the best.

I miss my 17-55. I’m all in full frame but that C70 is calling my name.

I’m lucky I got my Fuji with the XF 18-55 f2.8; great all-rounder already

side note your eyes are so pretty 😭

I cannot wait to ditch my Sony kit lens. I’ve got my eyes set on a 17-70 f2.8. I absolutely love wide angle shots but just can’t handle how the kit looks.

exactly what I did, with the lens as well👍

Can you talk about the camera and lens that you’re using for this current video?

Wow. I like it very much. Amazing

Hi guys, I just bough the R50 and I’m a newbie. Got the Kit Lens and the Canon Tripod and was wondering what other lens should I buy yes or yes. I do photos of 1. Landscapes (Vineyards) 2. Bottles of wines 3. Food and Wine in Restaurants 4. Lifestyle and shots harvesting, making wine inside a Cellar etc I want to learn to be able to post better photos for my Web and Instagram Profile basically..

Mft cameras: "I'm not even here, baby. I'm just a hallucination."

Yeah there full frame, cropped sensors (not just apsc) Canon 17-55f2.8 is excellent, but it is equivalent with ff+24-105f4 in terms of light gathering and dof. if you are comparing these 2, better go ff route. plus ff has more support in terms of lenses choices collection (at least for canon). other brand has excellent crop camera such as fujiflm,sony etc that has a lot of good lenses.

I have this lens and I love it. All around lens for me

I'm thinking of buying a camera but I'm undecided between sony alpha a6000 vs canon eos 200d, which one would you recommend (for nature, landscape, street photography)

Starting out: go used equipment. I bought a Pentax K1000 in a pawn shop for $50 bucks and it works great. I also bought my digital gear used. Digital gear changes so quickly, and you don’t need to buy the latest greatest gear because it’s going to be obsolete in a couple of years.

micro four thirds sobbing in the corner 🗿

All fuji cameras are APSC except from GFX line which are Medium Formar (Bigger than Full Frame)

I started photography for cars, planes and plants and right now I use a 25-250 mm lens on my eos 700d

I have been doing photography for the last 10 years. They best lens for beginners is a 50mm lens. Period. Both Nikon and Canon offer the 1.8 version for cheap. That will take your photography to the next level, even more than a 17-55mm 2.8 by far.

Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 for APS-C style video, for sony it would be Sigma 18-50mm while for Full Frame, 24-105 or a 28-75mm, perfect starter lens.

I buyed a Lumix Gx80, Hate that the sensor is oblitated in low light, next camera is gonna be a full frame, so I could use any lens system with a focal reducer true to the native focal, unlike a MFT with a full frame speedbooster you get 1.7 only, so you can't get native coverage. I think I would get a S5IIX as it is the best offer ever on the market, I would get a BMCC FF but like .... I would need Lidar, and a Gimbal with me at all time and photo experience is shit if like the bmcc4k

How does a lower f-stop get you smoother looking video footage?

thanks for great info

I hear almost every photographer recommend the 18-55 2.8 lens. The 2.8 being the huge part. It must be a good lens. And on Amazon the Nikon one has like 8k reviews and it's like 5 stars.

bought used 7D body and used 17-50mm f2.8 tamron, pretty happy with it for general use but it's lacking the reach. i kinda want lenses like canon 55-200 i can find it cheap used and 85 f1.8 (new meike brand 85mm lens is actually half the price compared with canon one)

I have a eos 2000d Canon camera. And I'm just starting to learn

I have the Canon 80D aswell ❤️

Thanks!

Tamron E Mount lens for that spec is $750 😢 Love cameras but man glass is soooo expensive, and yes I realize that lens cost is cheap compared to some.

we cannot place dead cat internaly. It becomes use less. Its main function is to dump wind sounds.

A little bit more expensive is an understatement camera gear is the most criminally expensive equipment in any hobby period

Could you please recommended something cheap, but making still good quality photos and videos for taking of cars?

To be honest am not a beginner, but only this is just my hoppy I shot in nikon. I do wildlife and macro.

SLR?

which cameras would be good for beginners? preferably cheap ._.

what camera did you use here? how to achieve this sharp yet soft quality like yours?

You also don’t need to choose a canon camera system..any system you want to use is fine lol

I was waiting for Anthony to pull the GFX in the middle of the video and say "this is a medium format camera"

I would suggest a Sigma 18-35 f1.8 i know it's expensive but it will last a lifetime. Sorry to say but i had a very bad experience with the Tamron and had to return that.

Thx

Just get the kit with two lenses so you get the random small one and for Nikon the other one is 70-300mm which is good zoom.

Do you recommend the camera in your left hand(80D) to a beginner?

stm lens focus may do smoother in video, btw most fuji camera thing .... GFX is big ;)

You should make a video of trying film photography

The 17-55mm is not cheap at all 😂. I honestly invested in the cheaper 15-85mm and that was a really good investment. Was pretty much my walk-around lens.

I got a brand new cannon r50 and want to do vlogging and basketball videos,any lens recommendations?

What's a good camera and lens combo for an upclose(like an interview and 3ft apart) video? Is there anything that can get me to 8k video quality? maybe a 2,000-4,000 camera?

I like your funny words magic man

It does not matter what cam You use. Not at all. The matter is if You know how to use it the best way

What would you recommend for a hybrid travel camera, an R7, R8, Sony A7c or Lumix S5?

what about the best camera lens for full-frame beginner user?

Wow

Can I shoot a selfie video like yours with a kit lens on a 2013 Sony A7? Or how can I do so with that body? What lens and settings? Thank you 🙏🏼

Well that's a good knowledge to have

What would be suggested for plane spotting?

Would it be good for portraits?

What's a good camera for a beginner? I'd really appreciate some guidance.

There's more than one crop sensor. Aps-c might be the most popular one but there are 1.0 types and fourthirds. So don't mislead your viewers to think crop sensor always means aps-c.

Wider aperture opening makes a lense better for low light? Well, yes and no. But rather 'no' I would say! An open aperture lets in more light, true. But it also lowers dramatically the depth of field, which has to be considered in most types of photography. Using ISO for low light instead of wide aperture will lead to better results more often...

Idk but I prefer to buy third party lens that have 1.4 to 2.8 aperture less expensive and budget friendly for beginners like me.

I like it

It can also be a M43

If i have to buy R 10 today, then should i buy it along with kit lens or without kit lens? Instead i would buy ef to er adaptor with 50mm prime lens Please advise..

What about 18-150 lens on APS type camera (I have R10)

The ultra sonic kit lens is nicee i like it but it’s too heavy to carry around

Bro which camera you recommend for shooting dance in temple dance programme at evening or in night?
