What should I do as a beginner?

( www.reddit.com )

What should I do as a beginner? I want to take more pictures but it’s a bit much taking a dslr around. I’ve been in the market for a camera for a while I can take everywhere with me but a $600 camera is simply out of my price range. But just using my iPhone 14 camera doesn’t give me good results. All I want to do is take better pictures. I really like taking landscape pictures…

Would the Panasonic GX7 be a good fit for me? I’ve been thinking about getting a “proper” camera for a while now. I spectated a rally a few months back and found my phone’s (Redmi Note 10) camera to be completely inadequate. I plan on attending more, and with an overseas trip coming in late March I figured now would be a good time to splurge a little. My budget isn’t too high, about 6-700NZ…

My equipment is a Canon EOS M50 MK2 with the Viltrox adapter. The lens fits the adapter perfectly, but the mount doesn’t have the gold pins to communicate with the camera. Have I been had here? Is there another adapter for these sorts of things so I …

Portable Umbrella/Stand Recs for Cons? Hi all! I go to a fair number of anime conventions, and I was hoping to acquire a one-light setup that was a little more portable than my current setup with an AD200 and an octobox- which is nice but the weight and bulk is bothersome in bigger crowds. I was thinking of taking my Godox V1 and slapping it on a lightweight stand and an umbrella: do…

Does bigger always mean better? I currently have an APS-C Canon 600D w/ an 18-55 kit lens. I went in with the intention that I’d just use it to learn the ropes (I was a complete noob at the time), get a decent telephoto sometime later, and eventually move on to a mirrorless full-frame (if I felt like it and had enough disposable income).
