    If you’re commenting to ask what camera I’d recommend for you, I suggest 5 different cameras that are all really awesome and fit into different budgets. Please check those out first! I recommended those because I think they’re the best for beginners, but if they’re maybe missing a feature or something you want then definitely ask!

    If you don’t want a DSLR, my number one recommendation is the Canon G7X Mark II.

  2. Vasudevan Krishnan says

    I am a beginner and I have been wanting to buy a DSLR, and I would mostly use it to capture wildlife, cityscape and nature but would also use it to capture moving objects or one the move. I would not be taking a lot of video. So pls suggest one for me

    Im starting to get into photography, and I’m looking for a camera to take pics of scenery, because I travel a lot. Also maybe one to take vids when I’m with my friends. I’m looking for a pretty good quality camera that I can ask for, for Christmas, that is fairly cheap. Any recommendations?

  12. Wolf Girl says

    Hey everyone! I’m a beginner but I really want an awesome camera to take pictures at my volleyball games so I need one that’s good for action shots, I also want to take pics of sunsets and me for Instagram. I would really like one that looks like it in person that the picture is really crisp. Any suggestions?

  13. Roxi Reuter says

    Great video! I’m looking into buying a camera for photography. I’m a beginner and I don’t want to spend a ton of money on my first camera. Video quality doesn’t really matter to me. I want something that’s versatile. I’ll mostly be shooting stills and fun photoshoot portraits with friends, so I want something that has good bokeh and color. Once in a while I may use it for action or sports photography (but probably not very often). I’ve thought about both DSLRs and mirrorless cameras but am not sure what’s right for me. Do you have any camera and lens suggestions for me? Thanks!

  14. DosesofRaye says

    Great video Kath! I go to NYU so we’re basically school neighbors😂💕 spending my spring and summer abroad studying so I’m looking for a camera to take really cool and professional looking pictures. I would like something around $500 and under. So far I like the canon pics you took so I think I might buy one from them.

    Thanks for the video. I am beginner looking into canon sl2 and nikon d5600. I am mostly interested in photography than video. Which would be the best. The part that puts me in dilemma is Canon's dual pixel AF feature. Need some feedback on what would be the best for me. Thanks

    Hey Kath! I am interested in purchasing the Nikon – AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G lens. Can you tell me the major differences between the "Standard" and "Special Edition"? I understand the price difference, but, any other key points? I would like to use it for my first photography session taking someones senior pictures. I have the Nikon D5300 btw, thank you so much for any help!

  30. Hartej Virdi says

    a cropped sensor is 25% of the size of a full frame? Not really
    Great video though.
