No set budget $1,000.00 or less?

depending if you want canon or sony

I wouldn't even call these "beginner cameras" but you can find them all for under 1,000 and they are excellent cameras.

canon rp
Sony a7 ii

What's up brehs. We got a Sony a6400. I'm trying to get more into this photography thing and understand the basics somewhat as far as Aperture, ISO, and Shutter Speed. I'm trying to see what people recommend as far as lenses go. We currently have a kit lens and a 4.5-6.3/55-210 Sony zoom lens.

Whenever I cop a new camera I always get the nifty 50, its cheap and can never go wrong with the f1.8. Also depends what you like to shoot?


Honestly watching youtube vids will give you some great info but I always say just go out and shoot even in auto mode and then look at the settings.

Depends on your budget and what you like to shoot.

A do it all might be a 24-70 2.8.
Tighter budget? 50 1.8

After shooting probably over 50 weddings now just a few tips

Always have a backup

I have a backup camera and flash

99 percent of shots I take are either with a 35mm or 85mm

And I’m still using my old ass 85mm f 1.8

If you have to spend more than 40 seconds editing a photo bush it

Shout out to ai
Photoshop retouch4me and luminar ai have made everything a breeze
