Instead of camera brand preference, I'd suggest to go in a physical store and pick the body up in your hands: you would probably come out with something completely different then what you thought going in. You could have the best specs in your camera, but if you dislike holding it and fight the control every time you will end not taking it out with you, and a camera left at home is of little use.

#6 is a great advice, but I’d like to add #7 to that: be honest to yourself. In our workshops I talk to a lot of enthusiast photographers who’ve spend a fortune on ‘the best’ since that’s their ambition. An expensive full-frame or otherwise top-of-the-line kit doesn’t make you a better photographer. If you’re new to photography, start with one lens (e.g. 35/50mm equiv.) and you’ll notice what you need next. If you already have a catalogue, check which focal lenghts you’ve used most. That’s what you need for your new camera as well. Last year we had a guy in our portrait workshop who was entirely new to photography. In preparation he bought an A7RIV with the entire f2.8 trinity of zooms. Only to find out that a 50 or 85mm would have been perfect and pref. also a much simpler camera. For some reason these are always men…😂. So, ask yourself what subjects do you find fun to shoot and adjust your choice to that. Be honest. One portrait doesn’t make you a portrait photographer… and even they only have 2 or 3 go-to lenses (max.).

I also agree on this. I some times wonder why i have so many lenses when i mostly use trusty 70-200mm f2.8 is usm ii or 150-600mm Sigma sport when its season for birdphotograpy.

Perhaps what people sometimes don't think through so much are the design attributes and technologies that will allow them to shoot what they want and when they want. For me, these are things like weather-sealing, IBIS, screen configuration (fixed, articulating or flippy) and the ability to select from any one of a number of custom settings quickly and easily - things that mean you can respond quickly and accurately to changes in the environment or of subject.... things that expand possibilities. If a camera doesn't have the right combination of these attributes, no matter how good in other areas, then it's not something i'm interested in owning.

Buying an a new version of an older camera is a great recommendation. I purchased a new Pentax K70 18 months ago for under $600 + a used F2 prime for under $200. Here are some new older cameras that I think are great for beginners and enthusiasts . Pentax K70, Panasonic GX85, Nikon D3500. From $650 to $850 with kit lenses. Add a 50 mm equivalent prime for under $200. The Panasonic with two lenses for $650 would be my recommendation and you could add a 25 mm prime for a $150. Throw in a 1 year subscription to skillshare and take a bunch of workshops. All for under $1,000 (or similar in Euros etc). One decent body + one decent lens + workshops + books will get your further ahead than thousands of dollars of equipment, in my humble opinion.

What's the harm in acknowledging that Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS) is an integral part of modern-day photography. Camera companies couldn't survive without it, and indeed they foster the desire to buy and buy and buy the newest and the latest and greatest. Look at Photokina and Fujikina and all the other venues with their endless secrecy and explosive hype. In the fight against phone makers, they'll either NEED to make GAS an even deeper part of the market or they'll have to raise prices so high the market will collapse. Without GAS we'd still be shooting Instamatic 100s and going to Fotomat, so Matti, here's a piece of sound advice. Get out there and buy - just like your life depends on it - because while your blog certainly does, the camera makers won't make it without us. With that in mind, there is no RIGHT camera, only the NEXT camera.

It's hard to identify the preferences and ideal choices beforehand. Be it camera functions or lens parameters. Renting often won't help much as it's difficult to judge a system and its usability long-term from one or two test days of overexcitement. Unless someone cashes out the best there is for their area of interest and it happens to be that right area, there will probably be bunch of adjustments along the way in forms of selling buying exchanging learning new things and repeating.

Re ergonomics, not just the physical handling of the body and controls, but the layout of the menus, customisation etc. I've had several Panasonic M4/3 bodies (first a GF1, then a GX-7, now a GX-8 and GX-9, plus a GM-5 to replace a compact) and feel completely at home with them. With more free time now for landscape photography, I recently decided to get a full-frame camera and went with a (heavily discounted) S1R. The familiar ergonomics have helped me to get up to speed with it. Being able to use the same flashguns and some other accessories (e.g. remote release across S1R and GX-8) has been a further bonus.

I love Nikon! I just bought an Apple 14 Pro Max because the best camera is the one you have with you.

Since the original A7 (2013) i never buy gear brand-new, because 1) it's way overpriced, too expensive 2) it does have (digital ones) bugs, which needs being fixed, sorted out over time via firmware updates 3) nothing needs new being produced, because you do buy what was already being produced, and avialable onto the market - it's better for the planet (limited) ressources. I only buy gear, into mint condition, and low shutter count. And you're right matti - we don't need perfect IQ, etc, etc...but people hunt always for better lenses, etc. About APS-C systems, i am not into the same ballpark here, because fujifilm does have ~36 lenses with 2 teleconverters, it's the best bar none APS-C lineup into the business. Not Sony, not 3rd party, and especially Canikon can't compete into the APS-C/DX area here. Fujifilm is the best for that term.

Agree, but most of what you said focuses (pun) around expected usage. For ten years I did teen sports photography.. but everybody in the know was why not Canon 1D or 3d tracking with Nikon etc.. I used Pentax first k5, k3 k5iis etc.. why? I learnt manual focus on consina and pentacon M42 lens so slow AF wasn't a problem, being a coach I could predict where the shot would be.. but #1 use case, I needed APS for high enough ISO and weather sealing as I am north of Seattle. You know it's bad when a well built lens with B+W filter gets water on the lens element on a horizontal rain day (heavy rain and high winds). Pentax worked. Yes I tried my Olympus gear but high iso for sport wasn't there till 20MP BSI sensors. So hard constraints and one affordable choice at the time. BTW for compact travel with changeable lens the Nikon 1 J5 and the Canon M3 have worked well for me too. Currently being slowly replaced by my fp and fp L. Keep up the good work. parhain terveisin

I completely agree. I thought I was going with Fujifilm and ended up with Olympus. I hated the feel the Fujifilm bodies. To me, Dynamic range and noise will improve on all sensors as time goes on so my only concern is DoF. I can work with that. Another friend who had a Sony A7 III with Tamron lenses for affordability and Olympus camera with few lenses. She sold all her Olympus equipment and realized later how much more she liked using the Olympus. Then she sold her Sony equipment to go back to Olympus. It was portability that she realized she liked more. She really likes the new 40-150mm f/4 lens. Now there was a friend who was considering Olympus and he had the Sony RX10. I actually helped him see he would be happy with the RX10 IV. That 1" is incredible. I think he also bought a RX100 too. He really does do some amazing work with those cameras.

All excellent advice, especially on the buying used. Yes, the newest bodies are faster, better, more. However, the core imaging technology has long matured. At the fundamental level of the recorded image, even bodies of a couple of generations ago are practically indistinguishable from the most current. An example is the old Canon 6D and the new hotness, the R6. A 6D with a L series zoom or a nice set of primes is literally under $1k USD. What a deal. I just pulled my old 6D out for a portraiture session a week ago. The image quality still amazes. By the way, for those in the States, KEH, MPB and usedPhotoPro are really the gotos for the more expensive used gear. Specifically, I've been purchasing from KEH for three decades now. I'd stay away from EBay for anything other than what you said, that $50 potential throw away.

As you say, it's not "one size fits all" but for anyone getting serious about photography who's unsure about what type of photography they'd like to pursue (and most photographers evolve as they progress), I always recommend a 1" bridge camera, such as the Lumix FZ1000 (well under US$1,000) or Sony RX-10 iii/iv (if you want to shoot in the rain and a rain sleeve doesn't work for you and/or need that extra reach). Either camera is capable of producing museum-quality prints in the right hands, offer a nice zoom range (and a couple of seconds from one end to the other--much faster than you can change lenses), excellent macro capability (minimum focusing distance of 3cm), 4K video, and many other features. If after using such as camera you find you want FLs outside of the camera's range, then MILCs make the most sense for most people (DSLRs are outdated). If that's the case, then your choice depends on what area of specialization you wish to pursue. If that's "all-rounder" (meaning you want the ability to get great images of anything you happen to encounter in just about any conditions), then Micro Four Thirds is by far the best way to go. No matter your ability, experience, or subject matter, MFT is the only way to carry the full range of lenses and accessories you may need without a Sherpa (as you point out, long lenses for larger formats are ridiculously large, heavy, and cost a lot more. They also have have long minimum focusing distances, often require tripods, and are not optically superior to the best MFT glass. My choice is the Lumix G9, but the GH6 and Oly OM-1 are also great cameras. If you get a system camera, then that bridge camera makes a great back-up or when you want to travel even lighter (or for "dog walking" use, as it's easy to use one-handed). I respectfully disagree that "FF" offers any significant (=real world, not lab tests) IQ advantage over MFT and in fact has many disadvantages! Try a print challenge--make the same images from various combinations of body/sensor and then see if you can tell which print came from which (or if any potential customer can). There's a reason why so many people (and I thought you were one of them) say that "gear doesn't matter" and that is so true. As long as you have the hardware (and software, and know how to use both) you need to make the image you seek, it's up to you to realize your artistic potential. Some of the best images in history were made using equipment of very limited capability/performance in comparison with even many phone-based units. I'm not recommending anyone use a phone as their primary camera (too limited FL range and user control), but anything larger than MFT is a waste of money for 99.99+% of photographers (including most who charge for their services).

@@mattisulanto I appreciate what you're saying. but regardless of the "numbers" (and you know that pixel peeping is pointless), IMO it's almost always a waste of money to chose "FF" or APS-C over MFT. In virtually every case, nobody will be able to tell any difference in the results (varying degrees of overkill) and you'll give up the portability, superior stabilization, speed, and other MFT features (plus spend a lot more). In some (but not all) cases, you may gain a bit of DR (but not to level justifying all of the disadvantages, especially as in those rare cases where you push the camera's DR limits, you can often bracket). Hey, as you say "People tend to see what they like/want to see"--that certainly applies to succumbing to the marketing hype surrounding so-called "FF" (which was created solely so that 135-format film shooters wouldn't have to buy new lenses when going digital--same for APS-C). The reason I'm so passionate about MFT is that I truly believe that it provides the best balance of any photographic system yet to emerge, but the "big boys" (SoNiCanon) push the bigger systems because they make more profit on them, and I want those of lesser means to be able to afford a truly great, full-range camera system. MFT provides much more than sufficient capability and is more affordable (there's a reason it's the most popular format in Japan). Ironically, you played a large role in my choosing the G9 over the A7iii, so thanks for that--I have no regrets (nor plans to get a larger system--my elbows are injured from sports and even the G9/battery grip/Leica 100-400 combination at about 2kg requires I use two hands these days to avoid stress). It's so nice to not be burdened by a large/heavy/awkward pack.

It would be very hard to buy a bad camera today. They are all good. And despite what the manufacturers want you to think, there is no one best camera. There is a best camera for me and what I want to do with it. Which may change tomorrow. If a person is just starting and wanting to move up from a cellphone, I would suggest finding out what your friends use. Then get that brand (used with basic lenses) so they can help you. That help will mean a lot over trying to learn on your own. If they know the controls of the camera you are using, when you are out taking photos with them, they can quickly help you. There will always be the how can I do this questions. As you use it and learn, you will know what you want in a camera. Until you use it for awhile, you will have no idea where your passion lays. It may be with something you are not even thinking of until you a camera and use it awhile. IF you buy used you can trade it in later for what you want after you learn.

Hi, Would you still recommend investing in to a old dslr lense system from a position of not owning any glass prior? Looking at D850 for pure image quality and raw maluability. 1. Old glass is less expensive. 2. Better ergonomics 3. And the most important. When going mirrorless, either you have to get a contrast based AF system or you have to make a compromise in IQ by going with on-sensor PDAF. On-sensor phase detect has a detrimental effect on IQ. It causes PDAF striping and it's effects can be quite noticable when pulling detail from shadows when there is a strong perpendicular light source. Even without pixel peeping the striping causes loss in perceived depth and contrast. - What is your opinnion on investing in to a expensive dslr in 2022? - Have you encountered discussion about PDAF striping in mirrorless cameras?

I shoot more landscape, street and events for. I only make a small amount of money shooting events, since I don't do many events. It's hard to justify the OM-1 at my level of requirement.

The most important thing to set camera system is your experience. Spend a lot of money and time, And experience Pros and Cons. Then you will be able to fix your system. There is no other way if you are not a person who can be satisfied with any camera system. Trust me.

Hi Matti, hard to disagree with your points. However, between the lines the only way a complete newbie can follow your advice is to go to a physical camera store and try things out physically. You said about choosing lenses also but it is a bit like a chicken and the egg and which is first. If I have no idea get a nifty fifty and then see which direction you might go. Also one can only hope that the salesperson is reasonably knowledegeable and doesn't try to push a particular brand or camera on a newbie customer.

Thanks for your opinion.

I promise not to hate you if I buy a camera you recommend. Besides, I really like lots of different kinds of cameras. I feel like they are tools in a toolbox. Don't drive nails with a crowbar. Don't cut through a board with a rasp. Every tool does some job well. Imagine some old crusty 4x5 film camera. It costs $15 (or more) every time you press the shutter. And it will be quite a while before you discover if the image is good. A piece of trash? Not at all. There are half a billion bits of information in the image it takes, and the old glass makes really interesting atmosphere. And there is nothing electronic that can go wrong. It's just a box with a lens on one end and a sheet of film on the other. So if I can like a camera like that, I can like anything. I do like the modern stuff, don't get me wrong. I have full frame cameras and APS-C and MFT cameras. I even have some point and shoot camera with tiny sensors. On a hike up to Comet Falls on Mt Rainier (only about a mile but pretty steep), I am not bringing a full frame camera with 10 lenses or an old 4x5 camera. I am old, out of shape, and don't want to suffer. So I will bring my little Olympus Pen E-PL7 or maybe even one of the tiny 20MP shirt pocket cameras. If I am going to take a portrait, then a high resolution full frame camera is in order (or perhaps a 4x5). I might want to put some fun film in a Canon EOS 1N HS like lomo purple, infra red, or Adox CMS II high resolution b&w. These kinds of things require a particular camera. So there is nothing like a fully stocked tool box. Just don't try to lug the whole thing up a mountain trail. I have one advice for someone who wants to buy a camera and is not sure. Rent it for a weekend first and give it a full tryout. A lot cheaper than buying the whole lot and then finding out it does not do what you want to do.

Its the same as comparing 4cyl vehicles with V8 vehicles. Which is better? If you are a professional driver who wants to appear professional, would you use a 4cyl car? Different camps would hv their own stories, excuses and justifications. In the end, its ALL about PRICE/MONEY. Hypothetically, if the Sony A7RIV and its lenses are all priced the same as a Lumix G9 and all M4/3 lenses, millions would run out to buy the Sony full frame camera and lenses…..and then praise full frame sensors on American social media
