Advanced Version of Photography Equipment Upgrade

First, welcome to the group of photography lover. After purchasing your first camera, you started to fall in love with photography, know related knowledge about it, and had a lot of works in practicing. At this time, you get encounter into varies problems, confusing or even tangle, such as in the choice of upgrading your devices.

Photography equipments must be one of the most popular topics between photographers. Due to the difference of preference, the argument of is never stop. In this recommended article, I won’t give you a list of equipments for you. What I want to be is a guide. In the choices of gadgets, money is the basic.

Maybe many of your friends suggest you to purchase a full frame like 5D Mark 2. They described it as a trend. Then, do you need a one like that? What the difference between APS-C and Full Frame? I have written a blog about this at here and there are a lot of related blogs online. At here I will show you some examples, which may be easier for understanding. You think that it is some like the difference between 1.8 and 1.8T. Generally, we only focus on the problem of engine (frame), but other parts like leather seat, vision, space, comfort, tire, (touch feeling, shutter, weight, focusing speed, image, ISO), and other factors will also important for your choice. In another word, you won’t want equip an Audi engine on your Auto. It is meaningless of only focusing on frame. If your purchasing reason is just “my friends are using it”, don’t do it. Price and functions are the most important part for you. Pay more attention on them.

Maybe have the advices like purchasing prime lens, which is widely thought as better image, high resolution, and so on. Mostly, my words come to the part of what is your purpose of shooting? At here is the same. If you are in the condition of below, forget the part of prime lens. If not, go on purchase. Do you want to contribute for magazines or join contest? If you just want to share on Flickr, you supposed to have your decide. For many people, photography is just for recording the beautiful scene of children. In the kids’ part, believe me, shooting with prime lens will be an awful thing. Do you have major in photography like insect or other? If there is no major photography kind, you may have to purchase a lot of prime lenses. Can you afford it? And can you carry them on in your canvas camera bags? Another important factor is the aperture. Ask yourself below questions. Can you pick out which picture is by 1.4, which is 1.8? Do you always shoot in dim light? Do you want perfect blur effect?

Now, the main points have been consulted, but there are still two small problems in choosing. For example, how to choose flash between Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT and Yongnuo YN565EX? The only factor in choosing of gadgets between original and third-part factory is your budget. The other one is the new and second hand. My suggestion is when you become an advanced photographer.
