Send Dave a Text!If you’re trying to get started as a working photographer, I’d keep it simple: grab an APS-C camera with an 18–55 kit lens, and if you can, add a 70–300 so you’ve got real range without spending full-frame money. Then I walk through what actually matters when you’re choosing a system, like buying from legit retailers, RAW vs JPEG, 4K and frame rates, batteries and SD cards, and why investing in lenses will take you further than chasing new camera bodies.Show Notes:00:00 Intro00:09 The simple starter kit01:05 Buy from legit retailers01:46 Brand choice and what to compare03:22 APS-C vs full frame04:17 RAW vs JPEG06:02 4K and frame rates06:51 Batteries and SD cards08:40 Lens mounts and why lenses matter most10:59 Only buy gear that solves a problem11:13 Sign-offProduced by:124 Productions
