get a better lens, something you can use when you upgrade later on. any camera is crap if coupled with a kit lens. even a big shot Sony full frame camera.
Trust me, that "worst" camera would help you being the "best" photographer someday. The camera, not being an advanced piece of tech, actually let's "you" think on your own and develop your instincts. That's what matters.
I laughed when he said this as well, but there is some truth to it. You can "hear" when some one has picked a slower shutter speed. I was leading a workshop one time and one student stepped up to take some pictures of a model, he took one, and I said "your shutter is to slow, you're gonna be over exposed", he looked at his camera, his mouth dropped, then he looked at me, he said "how do you know that?" I said , "it made 2 clicks, if it was faster, those 2 clicks would be so close to each other, none of us would be able to hear them separately" he adjusted, he got ready to take his next image, and everyone got as quiet as possible so they could all "listen" for the clicks...it became a running joke.. all in good fun....
I'm pretty sure your model was a professional and she knew what to do without much instruction. But most of the time when I shoot people they aren't professionals/don't know what to do/how to pose. So I think it might be cool if you make a video about how to instruct models for cool looking pictures. Like "top 10 poses you need to try for your next photoshoot". Anyways love your vids!
Thank you for the compliments! ✨ All instructions for models always differ as every model has a different comfort zone and flexibility. For example, not everyone can lean as far back as you expect due to physical flexibility and you have to take in consideration on what they are wearing e.g. a model would not be comfortable sitting straight in front the camera when wearing a dress compared to a model wearing pants. It is always a good idea to go on Pinterest to make a mood board and share it with your model. It will help a lot if the models know at least a guideline of poses. Whatever the case, make sure your model always feels comfortable as it will come up in photos 🙌🏻😊

Don't feel bad - I also own the D3300 and it's my 1st DSLR and it's a great camera - don't let this guys' elitist nature to bring you down. I have taken shots of Formula 1 cars, helicopters, done portrait sessions, even macro shots using reversed 28-80 kit lens.For night photos I use the cheap but wonderful 35mm 1.8G DX - sure the D3300 lacks some pro-features, but it has great colors and let's me experiment with different styles of photography. Some of this guys criticism - no electronic viewfinder - that is inheritant to ALL DSLR even the latest Nikon D6, the slow shuuter speed -> well D3300 goes to up to 1/4000 sec, which is standard for camera of this class -> for portraits the subject stays still, so you can go as slow as 1/50sec. Exposure "guessing" - you always take 3-4 test shots and adjust your settings. The point about "D3300 getting underexposed shots, bla bla" - well that is why pro's are pros, they can judge the situation and adjust their settings. To sum up, don't let people bring you down, take your camera, go out and take photos and experiment.

Alexander Manchev Best f*****g comment bro, and let me add, I think that photographers of today depend too much on electronic helps instead of watching the situation and adjusting the settings like old days. 👍
I used the d3300 with a 50mm lens and it took incredible pictures! This guy must be shoots in auto mode or is an Nikon hater. My Nikon d3300 paid for itself more than 3times and I bought mine for around $700 as a bundle package years sgo
It sounded like he has gotten so used to how easy the Sony camera auto corrects for you him that it seems like it's becoming somewhat of a crouch. Now that is purely from this video alone but as a photographer I would hope you would see that yes tech can help make our lives easy but if we are not careful it can make us "lazy" so shooting with the nikon forced you to use your skill set again
Yes, it seems like the plan was for the camera to conform to him, rather than adjusting to the strengths of the camera (good AF and excellent lightmeter using the viewfinder, and raw+jpeg mode).
@@methjesus7505 wouldn't consider a 100$ phone, with a 5.6x4.2mm sensor size and no modes other than automatic, a real camera, even though apple claims otherwise.
Honestly, after having used the d3300 for a few years before switching to a EOS 90D, the one thing I got from him is 'If I had to l use this camera daily I would have to do more of the work myself' which is exactly what you want as a beginner to actually get an understanding of the ISO, aperture and shutter speed.
Yeah the D series is actually good.. but it hurts my kidneys when I realize it doesn't have a built-in motor.. (i have a d3200 with 50mm lens that has no built-in motor) so I'm literally stuck on using manual focus.. and buying a lens with a built-in motor is much more expensive than the body itself.. lmao. 🤣
Dude, you take an entry level DSLR with a crop sensor and go out in the dark to test performance??? Everyone knows entry level dslrs struggle when there is not enough light and ISO performance is a challenge. I have a D3300 and have taken some breathtaking photos. All you people thinking the 3300 is a bad camera should not, it rivals a full frame camera (I have 3 of those) when the light is good. So don’t feel like you have crappy gear. The most important thing is to get out there and shoot.
I also have a D3300 and the photos IQ of this camera in daylight are outstanding...yeah sure ..hes taking a 24mp crop sensor on night shoot. What a genious.
He isn’t bashing the camera. How do you get that impression. The emphasis on the video is that he is way more skilled and took better photos with a cheaper camera than the beginner took with an expensive setup. Smh I’m blown away. Everyone so quick to attack someone who goes out of their way to make videos to help others in the same craft.
@@UnconventionalReasoning Autofocus on the Nikon D3300 actually depends on the lens more than on the camera... since the body doesn't have an integrated focus motor...
@@eldelabicidecolores it depends on both, and there are so many combinations of cameras and lenses that it's a mistake to generalize which is a bigger factor. The body has the brains, the lens has the brawn.
This video is nothing but an advertisement. In his other video "so you want to be a photographer" he said he started out with some nikon d3200 or something.
I really enjoy the amateur photographer's style in tilting, looks really cool and isn't something normally done so it's nice to see her playing and experimenting with the rules of photography as an art as it is subjective and personal to her
I’m a pro photographer, I find it’s always so much easier to use the lower end cameras. I have a Nikon D800 and D850 and they can be so hard to use (until you get used to them). Whereas, the entry level cameras are always designed to be simple and easy.
It is sort of a kit lens, just the very long kit lens. It's as slow as all the other kit lenses, like the 18-55mm. It would be different if he had the 17-55mm f/2.8 on there, I thought he might, the size was about right. But there was a frame where we could see the lens plate, and it's a long zoom with a kit-lens aperture.
@@UnconventionalReasoning Definitely not a kit lens, I think it's a 18-200mm DX, yes it's still very slow (3.5-5.6) but its glass is definitely better than the kit lenses. It's usually priced around $600. I think a D3300 body is priced at $300. To be honest, I don't think why he would pick a $600 slow lens. For $600 you could get a lot more better glass, I understand he's trying to pick amateur gear, but an amateur wouldn't spend $600 for a lens immediately.
Well, i startet with a d3300, it was great. Best value you can get, only changed it for a d5600 tp get exposure delay....and know i am on a z6. But the d3300 will always have a place in my heart
5:44 one thing i want to say is that you are so Used to Shooting in live view with your mirrorless cam that you forget that this is a camera with a mirror, and the processor in the d3300 is not the best for live view but its absolutely fine for Shooting though the viewfinder
Yeah his whole gist is in post edit. These new age protogs focuses 80% of their effort exaggerating light and colors in lightroom instead of the actual photo taking
@@franqueee can’t do good edits without a good photo. Just saying... you ever try editing an out of focus or underexposed photo? I’m sure not due to your comment.
He isn’t bashing the camera. How do you get that impression.

Ah agree..in a way it was shown that camera do matter when he complained about the auto focus. Rather I felt that a pro photographer should show how to overcome such limitations.
I am surprised he doesnt know liveview mode makes af much slower than if he just use the OVF. Thatmakes me feel like he is nt rly 'pro' or expert. Even if he wants to frame the shot from waist level, he could just squat. His content such as edits are good but with all the complaints he made, clearly he doesnt know cameras. What differentiate him from the lady is just the way they edit.
Usually i use a Fuji XT-2, in october 2019 i started using an old film camera, the only elettronic part is the light meter, and it's awesome. I began taking my time when shooting, also on the Fuji, and thinking more before releasing th shutter. I think that using a "simpler" camera helps a lot in learning and improving.
Bro her first two pictures (the one with the h&m and the other one in the hallway) really freaking impressed me tbh. Because it's not the usual and with a bit more editing it would be next level, I didn't think they would be so good
The trick is to get a wide aperture lens for these kinds of photoshoots, the good old 50mm 1.8f for an example, you can do a lot with a cheap camera and a lens like that. I have the d3200 with that lens and it really isn't that shitty.
Xandria, though new to photography, has such a good understanding of space already. The shot through the balcony at 3:16 is a god damn banger, great understanding of how to use the environment, just lacking a bit of practice to get the execution to the same level as a more experienced photog.
Cant edit properly without the fundamentals. Editing an overexposed or underexposed image is like polishing a turd. Editing is more for color adjustment in my eyes.
I bought a canon eos RP and a nifty 50 and it’s literally been such a learning experience and I love it. I highly recommend the started Mirrorless full frame for beginners as well if you’re within budget!
I started out with a Nikon D3500 and it's a beast of a camera for it's price and for a beginner. The shutter speed was slow and it didn't have many options but as a beginner it made me understand what photography with a DSLR really is. I loved it!
It's not the worse camera, it's a beginner camera. Something you use to learn the basics on. It's only bad if you've been relying on f1.4 all the time and then given a camera with a very deep depth of field.
I started out with Nikon d40 and later upgraded to d3300 and then on Nikon d750 dslr(full frame). Sold the d750 after 3 years and switched to Nikon Zfc (crop) mirrorless and I just love it. I love it more than d750. The whole kit with two lenses weigh less than the d750 body. It has eye af, is small and compact and it looks beautiful. Also in post, I don't use any presets, any crazy color grading just the stuff that comes from the camera. I love Nikon colors and it's a shame to change it all in post. I only use photoshop for skin retouching, because I try to expose at least close to perfect in camera. Always. Nikon Zfc is an entry level mirrorless. The lenses I own for it are Nikon Z 28mm f2,8 and 40mm f2. And I use the gear mostly for paid work. And customers were always satisfied. Because at the end, results matter not the gear. I hate youtube ''photographers'' saying: you need a full frame, you need this and that to take great pictures''. No you don't. You need a camera, decent glass and good light. Also composition and framing skills yes. I also own 1985 Yashica MF3 Super point and shoot and 2001 Nikon f(n)65 film cameras. Both working and I can still take great pictures even on film, not being limited by the gear specs. And that guys is photography, not snapping 1000 average photos and then make them look great in post.
Well done Mike, Liam Priscilla, Xandria! photography is all about the experience:)) i think we all wish we started out with a Sony A7r4 but it's all part of the process 💯
I’ve been shooting with Canon for almost a decade now but I always started with the cheapest cameras and worked my way progressing through different models throughout the years. Even if I were to use out-dated cameras, I’d know how to use it as if it was like my Canon 6D or EOS R, especially if I throw on my best lenses on em. For me, I’d say using older cameras with sharp lenses, basics in understanding photography, and proficiency in editing skills, will help your photos look just as good like it was taken by a professional. In reality, every photographer is always different from the next, we see things differently from our perspective.
Nikon D3300 is a very good camera for beginners, not the worst at all. I use D3200 and D7200 for my shoots with Sigma 17-50mm & Nikkor 35mm 1.8. Combination is amazing.
This just goes to show how important learning your camera and understanding composition and what not is. Could get the most expensive camera available but still take bad photos.
Why would you do this experiment as a night shoot when you're comparing yourself to an inexperienced photographer? Since she clearly doesn't understand the basic principles of Photography, her handicap more than doubles.
"Short answer, yes it does. Long answer, no it doesn't." Does this make sense? Short answer, no it doesn't. Long answer, no it doesn't. And what's that insane amount of noise at ISO 800 from the Sony. Is that added in post?
I love the sales assistant. Most of the ones I’ve met would immediately say “oh, all our cameras are fantastic” but she wasn’t about to sell you something you weren’t asking for
As someone who's first camera for 5 years was the Nikon D3200, you can do a lot more then you think. It's worse than the Nikon D3300 you used. Even entry level DSLR can be amazing if you know how to use it right.
If y'all want to see some real pros handling bad cameras you should check out Kai Wong's videos. Especially the episode with sixtreetunder and the star wars camera. Sadly this video has nothing to do with professional photography since all of the pictures are underexposed.
Pro : you use my camera ,sony a7r Beginner: ok ,you can use my ,d3300... Pro: But wait ,how do you change the aperture??? Beginner: YOU ARE THE PRO!!! Me : 😈😈😈😈😈(evil laugh)
Not your bro. But I’m a respectable person who values someone who takes the time to make videos to possibly motivate or help others in their craft. So I guess you can say I’m an adult.
I’d love to see you do something like this again. Maybe next time you should try a point and shoot, which would resonate with a lot more people who may be able to get their hands on one. It’s good to see you trying new things and its a great video! Nice one mate
@@SaiMegaPhotography yes and the sigma version is good also. If your budget calls, the sigma 18-35 is really good if you're willing to work with calibration if it's off focus.
go with 35 mm lens, as the 50 mm lens would be but hard use indoor.. both will have same effect at night, but in 50mm you have stay bit away from the subject so it's no convenient indoors so go with 35 mm
@@bgf1lms843 the G7 is great, have fun :) Myself, I am really surprised at the 6MP RAW's coming out of the D50, but I got a Sony a6400 because I've grown out the features of the Nikon a long time ago... You probably did so too though :)
I started out with a d3200. Without a lens that gets at least f1.8 the camera will struggle without loads of light. Otherwise you need a tripod to handle the very slow shutter speed. Also using live view tends to slow down the shots further because it has to stop the live-view then take the shot and turn live-view back on. It's still possible to get great photos but you need a lot more time.
Such a nice video. It all really comes down to the photographer's skill, but then again expensive cameras has way more features that's absolutely a great advantage when they finally learns how to use it and master it.
@@methjesus7505 yeah well just cause it takes better quality pictures (has a better sensor or whatever) doesnt mean the picture is a better picture i think lol you can give a shitty photographer a nice camera and the pictures they take will probably still be shitty but give a good photographer a crappy camera and they will probably still take some amazing pictures... i think .
Photography used to be really hard and expensive. I've worked with Mamiya RB67/RZ67 and Olympus OM2-4 cameras when I started. I actually learned on an EXA 1A. And after taking the photos you had to do all the post in the darkroom. With the Mamiya I used lots of Polaroids after metering all the light in. My first digital camera was the D30 and the 10D after that (left out the D60). Still own that 10D and it is still a good Camera to learn with. It's amazing what you can do with cheap gear now.
I agree with most of the things you said. Any camera becomes easier once you have taken enough time to familiarise with all the functions and creative options it offers. At the same time I really believe a very good photography gear can make a huge difference in anyone's photographic abilities. When you have a camera that calculate the perfect exposure for you and focus fast and accurately your subject, taking a good photo is way easier, unless your are particularly bad at framing a particular scene. I have some of the quirkiest fixed lens cameras in the world with extremely slow focus and very few focus points. But even with my cameras it is still possible taking very good and sharp photos. As for the exposure it is not so hard to guess when a photo will come out underexposed or overexposed with most relatively modern cameras. Then softwares to edit photos can completely transform a mediocre image into a great looking one. Much harder is taking a very good photo which hardly needs any editing. I try to to do the latter and in most cases I don't miss not having software to edit my photos. But probably looking at how unrealistic and unnatural look most pics on social media, not many people would appreciate my photos. Expensive cameras( and photo editing softwares) with a lot of practice can really help you taking and making awesome photos, unless you are absolutely bad at framing a scene or a subject.
The physical viewfinder is much more accurate than the little lcd screen. Here, a “pro” would likely use the viewfinder to get an accurate depiction of the scene rather than a potentially distorted view from a cheaper lcd

I used the d3300 with a 50mm lens and it took incredible pictures! This guy must be shoots in auto mode or is an Nikon hater. My Nikon d3300 paid for itself more than 3times and I bought mine for around $700 as a bundle package years sgo
I use a Nikon D3500, it's great camera and my auto focus works well in all light.
It sounded like he has gotten so used to how easy the Sony camera auto corrects for you him that it seems like it's becoming somewhat of a crouch. Now that is purely from this video alone but as a photographer I would hope you would see that yes tech can help make our lives easy but if we are not careful it can make us "lazy" so shooting with the nikon forced you to use your skill set again
Yes, it seems like the plan was for the camera to conform to him, rather than adjusting to the strengths of the camera (good AF and excellent lightmeter using the viewfinder, and raw+jpeg mode).
"A camera won't make your pictures look better, it's just a tool. All depends on skill!"
agreed!!
Half agree and half disagree, it's rly hard to take fast shutter speed or night time shots with a 100$ phone
But of course the image will have better resolution and dynamic range + other things compared to a cheap camera
True man....they r just demotivating the small creators
@@methjesus7505 wouldn't consider a 100$ phone, with a 5.6x4.2mm sensor size and no modes other than automatic, a real camera, even though apple claims otherwise.
Honestly, after having used the d3300 for a few years before switching to a EOS 90D, the one thing I got from him is 'If I had to l use this camera daily I would have to do more of the work myself' which is exactly what you want as a beginner to actually get an understanding of the ISO, aperture and shutter speed.
right?! and for that the d3300 is freaking amazing for the price you could get it with too
I actually own a Nikon d3300 it’s not bad I’ve had clients from this camera. It’s a good camera💪🏻
exactly
If I am good with this camera, imagine if the sony get in my hands..
@@iv4owebg763 or a newer Nikon? The issue is more the age and "level" of the camera, rather than the brand.
Yeah the D series is actually good.. but it hurts my kidneys when I realize it doesn't have a built-in motor.. (i have a d3200 with 50mm lens that has no built-in motor) so I'm literally stuck on using manual focus.. and buying a lens with a built-in motor is much more expensive than the body itself.. lmao. 🤣
One of best photo and video camera..
D3300 ..
Dude, you take an entry level DSLR with a crop sensor and go out in the dark to test performance??? Everyone knows entry level dslrs struggle when there is not enough light and ISO performance is a challenge. I have a D3300 and have taken some breathtaking photos. All you people thinking the 3300 is a bad camera should not, it rivals a full frame camera (I have 3 of those) when the light is good. So don’t feel like you have crappy gear. The most important thing is to get out there and shoot.
he know nothing..self claim maybe?
I also have a D3300 and the photos IQ of this camera in daylight are outstanding...yeah sure ..hes taking a 24mp crop sensor on night shoot. What a genious.
He isn’t bashing the camera. How do you get that impression. The emphasis on the video is that he is way more skilled and took better photos with a cheaper camera than the beginner took with an expensive setup. Smh I’m blown away. Everyone so quick to attack someone who goes out of their way to make videos to help others in the same craft.
@@macgnf9061 he literally said its a piece of shit
@@jessetrujillo8969 Compared to his main camera, it is..
The D3300 is actually very capable. Not much of a challenge to get great photos out of it.
Yep. It doesn't have any fancy features and such but the sensors not bad at all
@@shadowregards5903 The lightmeter is really good too... If you decide to use it... And the autofocus is fine... If you decide to use it...
@@UnconventionalReasoning Autofocus on the Nikon D3300 actually depends on the lens more than on the camera... since the body doesn't have an integrated focus motor...
@@eldelabicidecolores it depends on both, and there are so many combinations of cameras and lenses that it's a mistake to generalize which is a bigger factor. The body has the brains, the lens has the brawn.
This video is nothing but an advertisement. In his other video "so you want to be a photographer" he said he started out with some nikon d3200 or something.
I really enjoy the amateur photographer's style in tilting, looks really cool and isn't something normally done so it's nice to see her playing and experimenting with the rules of photography as an art as it is subjective and personal to her
I love when you can hear the shutter speed especially when you're on a down incline
ha ha ha ha ha ha next time incorporate also his third line!
I’m a pro photographer, I find it’s always so much easier to use the lower end cameras. I have a Nikon D800 and D850 and they can be so hard to use (until you get used to them). Whereas, the entry level cameras are always designed to be simple and easy.
After those, it hurts me to use entry level cameras, the controls are all wrong, too many stuck in menus.
I have a Nikon d800 too, love mine especially when use a 50mm f1.8 lens with it
you didnt mention you had a really good lens on tho...
exactly what I said, should of used the kit lens
If he struggled with THAT lens in low light imagine how it would be with the kit lens
@@syrtis21 so true...
It is sort of a kit lens, just the very long kit lens. It's as slow as all the other kit lenses, like the 18-55mm. It would be different if he had the 17-55mm f/2.8 on there, I thought he might, the size was about right. But there was a frame where we could see the lens plate, and it's a long zoom with a kit-lens aperture.
@@UnconventionalReasoning Definitely not a kit lens, I think it's a 18-200mm DX, yes it's still very slow (3.5-5.6) but its glass is definitely better than the kit lenses. It's usually priced around $600. I think a D3300 body is priced at $300. To be honest, I don't think why he would pick a $600 slow lens. For $600 you could get a lot more better glass, I understand he's trying to pick amateur gear, but an amateur wouldn't spend $600 for a lens immediately.
You could see her shots getting better and better throughout the video👍🏽
Well, i startet with a d3300, it was great. Best value you can get, only changed it for a d5600 tp get exposure delay....and know i am on a z6. But the d3300 will always have a place in my heart
could you pls donate me a camera .. like d3300
if you're okay will give my location
This really shows that a big part of photography is knowing how to frame the picture and editing
a well composed photo matters the most, besides general lighting. after that, edit to whatever you want
5:44 one thing i want to say is that you are so Used to Shooting in live view with your mirrorless cam that you forget that this is a camera with a mirror, and the processor in the d3300 is not the best for live view but its absolutely fine for Shooting though the viewfinder
Composition and skill are everything, both of those cameras can take fantastic photographs.
Feels bad when an average photographer like can't take good pictures with a respectable d3300. 🤔🥱
Fr I have and it’s a really capable camera
I have just my fu*king phone and i can take any camera i can have i don't care
I think the issue is with the kits lens he has in the middle of the night
Yeah his whole gist is in post edit. These new age protogs focuses 80% of their effort exaggerating light and colors in lightroom instead of the actual photo taking
@@franqueee can’t do good edits without a good photo. Just saying... you ever try editing an out of focus or underexposed photo? I’m sure not due to your comment.
Dude stop complaining! You're not even that great of a photographer to complain about the camera. I neither use Nikon nor Sony fyi.
i agree

Complaining about d3300 only shows you are far away from pro. Money doesnt buy skills, remember it.
Ah agree..in a way it was shown that camera do matter when he complained about the auto focus. Rather I felt that a pro photographer should show how to overcome such limitations.
and about live view....? light meter? he should've handled any camera better than Xandria.
I am surprised he doesnt know liveview mode makes af much slower than if he just use the OVF. Thatmakes me feel like he is nt rly 'pro' or expert. Even if he wants to frame the shot from waist level, he could just squat. His content such as edits are good but with all the complaints he made, clearly he doesnt know cameras. What differentiate him from the lady is just the way they edit.
Agree brother 👊

cheer up man, it's not about the camera!! he probably should have said "the oldest camera you have", considering he has a fairly new one..
It's a real good camera man if you got it used and for a decent price. In the recommended list of photography subreddit.
@@TomTom-gx1sm ik, I've been using it since i posted the comment and it's never let me down 😀.
Usually i use a Fuji XT-2, in october 2019 i started using an old film camera, the only elettronic part is the light meter, and it's awesome. I began taking my time when shooting, also on the Fuji, and thinking more before releasing th shutter. I think that using a "simpler" camera helps a lot in learning and improving.
Bro her first two pictures (the one with the h&m and the other one in the hallway) really freaking impressed me tbh. Because it's not the usual and with a bit more editing it would be next level, I didn't think they would be so good
The trick is to get a wide aperture lens for these kinds of photoshoots, the good old 50mm 1.8f for an example, you can do a lot with a cheap camera and a lens like that. I have the d3200 with that lens and it really isn't that shitty.
Yes, this was a pretty unbalanced "challenge". And yet the results were practically a tie.
I love how he starts with saying that the gear doesn’t matter as much as the user
Xandria, though new to photography, has such a good understanding of space already.
The shot through the balcony at 3:16 is a god damn banger, great understanding of how to use the environment, just lacking a bit of practice to get the execution to the same level as a more experienced photog.
just stumbeld on this vid and i love it i myself have a d3300 and a d7000 and its nice to see that they still take good picture
Man you should've called me...I have a nikon 3100😂
I have a Kodak Pixpro Az421 💀
Aran Zoa same😂
Same
I'm using d3400 from last 2years
And it never disappointed me
Me after watching the video : So what makes a good photographer is basicly sick ass presets 🤣
To be honest, the editing of the photos in this episode was rather lowkey
Were they really that sick ass?
Lol😂😂
Cant edit properly without the fundamentals. Editing an overexposed or underexposed image is like polishing a turd. Editing is more for color adjustment in my eyes.
Yeah the "pro" was really bad.... His shots where just abit better composed... But just a little besides that he sucked bad
I bought a canon eos RP and a nifty 50 and it’s literally been such a learning experience and I love it. I highly recommend the started Mirrorless full frame for beginners as well if you’re within budget!
"Hey. I was just wondering what your WORST camera would be?"
"WORST?"
"Yeah"
"There is a 2nd hand Nikon"
:D The Lady is bashing Nikon, too.
As an older Nikon user, she’s not wrong (except for the F4 loved that beast)
She was surprised that he asked for the "worst" she's used to people asking for the best😂
Im still thinking to get the Nikon Z50 with the 2 Lenses or the Fuji XH1.
Do people hate nikon?
@@kaiquereis6504 D850 is also not bad.
I started out with a Nikon D3500 and it's a beast of a camera for it's price and for a beginner. The shutter speed was slow and it didn't have many options but as a beginner it made me understand what photography with a DSLR really is. I loved it!
"What's your worst camera?"
"Well we have a Nikon D3300"
Meanwhile, I'm over here with my D3100 like uuuhhhh 😔
It's not the worse camera, it's a beginner camera. Something you use to learn the basics on. It's only bad if you've been relying on f1.4 all the time and then given a camera with a very deep depth of field.
I started out with Nikon d40 and later upgraded to d3300 and then on Nikon d750 dslr(full frame). Sold the d750 after 3 years and switched to Nikon Zfc (crop) mirrorless and I just love it. I love it more than d750. The whole kit with two lenses weigh less than the d750 body. It has eye af, is small and compact and it looks beautiful. Also in post, I don't use any presets, any crazy color grading just the stuff that comes from the camera. I love Nikon colors and it's a shame to change it all in post. I only use photoshop for skin retouching, because I try to expose at least close to perfect in camera. Always. Nikon Zfc is an entry level mirrorless. The lenses I own for it are Nikon Z 28mm f2,8 and 40mm f2. And I use the gear mostly for paid work. And customers were always satisfied. Because at the end, results matter not the gear. I hate youtube ''photographers'' saying: you need a full frame, you need this and that to take great pictures''. No you don't. You need a camera, decent glass and good light. Also composition and framing skills yes. I also own 1985 Yashica MF3 Super point and shoot and 2001 Nikon f(n)65 film cameras. Both working and I can still take great pictures even on film, not being limited by the gear specs. And that guys is photography, not snapping 1000 average photos and then make them look great in post.
Yes! Finally stuff to watch after all the negative going on here in the U.S.
I know right!! hahah
Innit I wait for this day every week
Well done Mike, Liam Priscilla, Xandria! photography is all about the experience:)) i think we all wish we started out with a Sony A7r4 but it's all part of the process 💯
But the edit from Mike is way better!
Mike's edit is more orange teal look and her edit is more like exposure up #nofront
I’ve been shooting with Canon for almost a decade now but I always started with the cheapest cameras and worked my way progressing through different models throughout the years. Even if I were to use out-dated cameras, I’d know how to use it as if it was like my Canon 6D or EOS R, especially if I throw on my best lenses on em. For me, I’d say using older cameras with sharp lenses, basics in understanding photography, and proficiency in editing skills, will help your photos look just as good like it was taken by a professional. In reality, every photographer is always different from the next, we see things differently from our perspective.
i rate next time use the kit lens for the entry level camera, i think the kit lens truly represents what new photographers have to work with.
This was basically a kit lens, just the long zoom version. It still had a "kit lens" aperture, f/3.5-5.6.
Really inspired by this video!
My brand new D3300 is so happy about this!
Looking at the caption I thought that the the amateur was you
Nikon D3300 is a very good camera for beginners, not the worst at all. I use D3200 and D7200 for my shoots with Sigma 17-50mm & Nikkor 35mm 1.8. Combination is amazing.
This just goes to show how important learning your camera and understanding composition and what not is. Could get the most expensive camera available but still take bad photos.
The eyes of the girl who is a new photographer is just incredeble. There is so much in them. So many emotions. Really beautiful.
Why would you do this experiment as a night shoot when you're comparing yourself to an inexperienced photographer? Since she clearly doesn't understand the basic principles of Photography, her handicap more than doubles.
I just upgraded from the D3400 to the Z6 the style hasn't changed just the Quality so your definitely spitting facts
"Short answer, yes it does. Long answer, no it doesn't."
Does this make sense?
Short answer, no it doesn't. Long answer, no it doesn't.
And what's that insane amount of noise at ISO 800 from the Sony. Is that added in post?
I love the sales assistant. Most of the ones I’ve met would immediately say “oh, all our cameras are fantastic” but she wasn’t about to sell you something you weren’t asking for
OK you said "It's good enough for instagram" , but is instagram really good enough for such expensive cameras out there? Hell no.
Well people get shit tons of recognition from Instagram and become hella popular and make allot of money. What would you recommend?
Always keen to see Melb photography RUclipsrs xD i can finally relate to all the locations and humour 🙌🏻
As someone who's first camera for 5 years was the Nikon D3200, you can do a lot more then you think. It's worse than the Nikon D3300 you used. Even entry level DSLR can be amazing if you know how to use it right.
Thats what I have
thanks
The best camera is the one you have. It comes down to how you use it and what you can do to get the best out of the image.
If y'all want to see some real pros handling bad cameras you should check out Kai Wong's videos. Especially the episode with sixtreetunder and the star wars camera.
Sadly this video has nothing to do with professional photography since all of the pictures are underexposed.

@@SaiMegaPhotography yes and the sigma version is good also. If your budget calls, the sigma 18-35 is really good if you're willing to work with calibration if it's off focus.

so go with 35 mm

My Nikon D200 is even worse than the "worst camera" Mike could find.

@@bgf1lms843 the G7 is great, have fun :) Myself, I am really surprised at the 6MP RAW's coming out of the D50, but I got a Sony a6400 because I've grown out the features of the Nikon a long time ago... You probably did so too though :)
How bout my d3100?
The D200 is older, but much better overall build, pros were happy to use it back in 2006-8.
I started out with a d3200. Without a lens that gets at least f1.8 the camera will struggle without loads of light. Otherwise you need a tripod to handle the very slow shutter speed. Also using live view tends to slow down the shots further because it has to stop the live-view then take the shot and turn live-view back on. It's still possible to get great photos but you need a lot more time.
You said you're pro when you complaining about the autofocus being slow in liveview mode. Damn man.
A pro that doesnt use viewfinder? Pffff... Pro my ass.
I think they say pro because they make money from their photography.
engaged in a specified activity as one's main paid occupation rather than as a pastime
Such a nice video. It all really comes down to the photographer's skill, but then again expensive cameras has way more features that's absolutely a great advantage when they finally learns how to use it and master it.
So you're a pro photog?! Mkay, dude bro. :))))

Photography used to be really hard and expensive. I've worked with Mamiya RB67/RZ67 and Olympus OM2-4 cameras when I started.
I actually learned on an EXA 1A. And after taking the photos you had to do all the post in the darkroom.
With the Mamiya I used lots of Polaroids after metering all the light in.
My first digital camera was the D30 and the 10D after that (left out the D60). Still own that 10D and it is still a good Camera to learn with.
It's amazing what you can do with cheap gear now.
Unfortunately the talking about "cows" was not in the video 🤣 oops! @northborders
I agree with most of the things you said. Any camera becomes easier once you have taken enough time to familiarise with all the functions and creative options it offers. At the same time I really believe a very good photography gear can make a huge difference in anyone's photographic abilities. When you have a camera that calculate the perfect exposure for you and focus fast and accurately your subject, taking a good photo is way easier, unless your are particularly bad at framing a particular scene. I have some of the quirkiest fixed lens cameras in the world with extremely slow focus and very few focus points. But even with my cameras it is still possible taking very good and sharp photos. As for the exposure it is not so hard to guess when a photo will come out underexposed or overexposed with most relatively modern cameras. Then softwares to edit photos can completely transform a mediocre image into a great looking one. Much harder is taking a very good photo which hardly needs any editing. I try to to do the latter and in most cases I don't miss not having software to edit my photos. But probably looking at how unrealistic and unnatural look most pics on social media, not many people would appreciate my photos. Expensive cameras( and photo editing softwares) with a lot of practice can really help you taking and making awesome photos, unless you are absolutely bad at framing a scene or a subject.
I am in love with Xandria 😍
You guys have camera? Meanwhile me crying on a phone
I skipped the video after seeing taking portraits on the D3300 with the liveview.
True! And this guy considers himself a pro? What a joke...
Could you please explain?
The physical viewfinder is much more accurate than the little lcd screen. Here, a “pro” would likely use the viewfinder to get an accurate depiction of the scene rather than a potentially distorted view from a cheaper lcd
What does the before and after mean when the photo is shown? Does it mean un-edited and edited or???...
