Love the episode? Send me a text & tell me.Ever seen kids in candyland?Their eyes begin to sparkle and they turn into mini zombies hypnotized by the sweets on the shelves.You ask them to pick one and they just can’t. With so many delicious options out there, they want everything - a lil chocolate, some gummies and oooh that caramel toffee. The sugar love takes over and they just want it all. ..That is exactly how we photographers feel in a camera store.Oooh! that one. I need exactly that. Wow, but that one looks cool.. Maybe I should buy that. But.. she just bought that one, should I go for that? We become hypnotized mini zombies in a camera store. Atleast I do!Jokes apart, cameras are such a heavy investment that we can’t buy them all. We have to be careful and make an informed decision. I’m not exaggerating when I say that the no. 1 question I get asked is, “ which camera to buy.” I totally get the dilemma because some cameras have extra chocolate, some are chewy-tasty like gummies and some are like dreamy caramel. How to choose with such amazing options in the market. In the latest episode of the podcast, I'm sharing the top 5 factors that you need to consider before buying a new camera, specifically for food photography. We all have our personal reasons to either upgrade from a phone to DSLR or to move towards newer technology. No matter what our reason is and no matter how far we are in our journey, the fundamentals of selecting a camera remains the same. It is natural to be overwhelmed with so many factors to consider but just like we buy everything else that costs heavy $$, there is a systematic way to narrow down to the one camera that is best for us. I’m sharing tips in the most simple and easy way so that you have more clarity and better reasoning before making that big investment.Read more at https://myfoodlens.com Follow Dyutima on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dyutima_myfoodlens/Show notes available at https://myfoodlens.com/44-5-tips-to-buy-a-camera-for-food-photography/
