When people want to buy anything new they always look for something different, and unique about whatever it is they’re purchasing. The same applies to getting gear. You don’t buy it for buying sake but for the capacity and features of such a camera or gear.
There are different features we all look out for but when it comes to saving your integrity and your job when your client is behind you watching you closely as you work, you don’t want to start complaining about your camera megapixels or whether you should have opted for a camera with better autofocus.
So what are the things to look for when buying a camera that will be worth their weight in output?
- Versatility: There’s a saying that the camera does not matter. Well, that’s dependent on the genre of photography you’re into which will determine the spec of cameras with higher frames and greater face tracking. Some cameras offer you the ability to plug it into a wall socket and stay on all day. Not a feature that will make it into the brochure, but something that in the real world can be invaluable.
- Easy To Use: No photographer or Cinematographer will like to struggle with a camera in the process of shooting. However, there are a lot of cameras these days that can deliver excellent results once you’ve cracked the code of their menu system and know what settings to combine with which.
I hope this serves as a guide when you’re looking to purchase a camera.
