3 things to consider when buying a camera


I should also repeat here three mantras I always tell my students:

1) Never buy anything until you are ready to learn it thoroughly and

use it regularly immediately. I work with so many people who got

themselves "fully equipped" and then, two years later, find themselves

facing obsolescence or incompatabilities once they are ready to really

learn and use.

2) Never WAIT to buy something you need right away due to fear of

something better and cheaper coming out soon - it's not worth the

missed opportunity.

3) A skilled and talented artist or craftsperson can get professional

results from almost anything. An unskilled person will not do any

better with a CIneAlta HDCam than they will with a cel phone camera.

The person is at least 95% of the quality equation. The equipment is

secondary.
