This gentleman needs his own television show. The clarity about how he explains the most complex things is almost an art form. Let me go and get my kit lens and leave some of these expensive lens home🤣😎. Lol
He is probably not that much wrong in some cases. I had for years a 18-55mm kit lens (the time before IS or STM was in them!), all the other lenses i had were prime macros, a telezoom and so... not really a lens which could replace the "standard" focal range of the kit. So despite having a few more expensive lenses, i often used only the kit lens because the other ones had more or less special cases i didnt need at this events. But looking behind - i guess its still (next to a fast, cheap 50mm prime) somehow needed at the point you know you like photography that you search as fast as possible for a kit lens replacement. Doesnt have to be any 24-70 L or so, but at least something with better IS and proper USM, bigger aperture (with probably more blades) and if possible better imaging quality than the kit. I personally still am looking (since nearly 10 years, lol) for a proper "universal" lens with a useful variety anywhere between 15-80mm and GOOD imaging quality, upgraded already twice (first to a 28-105 USM, then a 28-135 IS USM) but these lenses are barely better than the kit lens (when it comes to image quality, anything else is "superior" like superfast AF, more zoom, bigger aperture, etc)
Nice to see someone not telling the beginner to invest in lenses but to improve by investing in taking images to build experience & understanding. Clarity of explanation, even after 30yrs of semi-pro photography I felt I understood stuff even better!!
I watched a video by a very famous photographer recently where he was asked about portraiture for beginner photographers, and he used a 100mm 1.8 lens in his explanation. The only thing I thought throughout the video was: what new photographer is going to own that lens right off the bat? Your video is much more sensible, and it deserves more views.
I agree, I just got my nikon d3400 and been watching videos all over RUclips for like an intro for beginners and THIS IS THE MOST USEFUL AND INFORMATIVE ONE.
Revisiting this video, because I just picked up a used Nikon D3400 camera that came with this 18-55mm kit lens, and your tips are right on time! This compact lens is super sharp and compact, and I'm LOVING it! Thanks again for this tutorial...
I just wanna say that your coolness and unhurried demeanor is really helping me understand all these photographic jargon and truly inspiring me to venture more and more into photography. Hence I enrolled in your first online class and hopefully have the budget for the other classes. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

Now this is a video that was actually helpful. Simple, easy to understand and not intimidating for a beginner like me. Most other videos make it seem like my kit lens is not even worth using.
I really like your relaxed attitude in explanations that others seem to quickly gloss over. Straight talk and to the point. You must have thousands of subscribers! Nice.

I want to say thank you for uploading this video. I have been using a point and shoot for many years and now I have just purchased my first DSLR nikon 3500 with a kit lens 18 to 55. I have been watching other photography videos and the were featuring this lens. However all they could do was talk down on the lens because it was so "cheap". I am still learning photography and this camera was a big investment. Those videos made me feel pretty low for buying such a lens. Your video was so much uplifting and I felt good again for getting the camera. The camera will be here in two days and I'm very excited. Thank you again.

Man, I wish I watched this video when I was first starting out... he dropped a lot of knowledge, in an easy to understand way. As photographers, we can fall into the trap of wanting 'better' gear all the time. Invest in learning before splashing the cash... but when it comes time to break away from the kit lens, I'd highly recommend (depending on what you shoot) to invest into a 24-70mm - and ideally a continuous aperture lens. I'd only advise people to pick up a prime once they know what their favourite focal length is, and perhaps why they like to shoot with it.
It seems that I've been a newbie photographer for about 8 years now hahahaha... I love the way Mark takes the time to explain what's happening inside my camera and now even with this short video, I think my pictures are going to turn out a whole lot better. With that being said I'm going to join up just so I can better understand the photo jargon and also what my settings are for. I only have an Olympus e-520 but it's been great for what I've been doing so far. Thanks Mark your patience in teaching is second to none and I look forward to seeing more instructional vid's Merry Christmas from Vancouver Island Canada everyone.

Time to dig out the kit lens and play around with it again. Might be a great vacation lens, so I don’t have to haul the bigger, expensive lenses with me. Looking to simplify.
Just bought my first DSLR bundle the other day. This video helped tremendously in understanding key concepts and functions of the kit lenses that came with the bundle. Thanks, and here's a sub.
I have watched literally hundreds of tutorials. This is hands down the best, straight to the point, down to earth, not overly technical terminology, user friendly video I have ever watched on this subject. When I get my camera I’m taking your course. Thank you so much! Is the cannon t7 an ok first camera? What camera do you recommend? I have been using cannon power shot 50xs for 10 years.

During this quarantine is good to hear your voice. On top, a realistic approach to investing is new lens. First walk, then run. I notice that Canon is your choice, I've just bought a new Sony A7III, perfect pictures but lack of that creativity touch Canon brings in my opinion.

@@RobertRodriguez19 It really depends on what you want to shoot as to which lens you invest in next. For wildlife photographers, a good telephoto lens is key. For portrait photographers, perhaps a 35mm or 50mm prime lens would be useful. For landscape photographers, perhaps a wide angle lens. I think its best to decide what kind of photos you want to create and then choose a lens which can get you doing just that :)
@@PhotographyPro thank you very much, I think the 50mm would a be my choice since I would be doing portrait photography. But there would be cases where I might need to shoot kind of landscape thanks for your recommendations 😊
I love your videos and I also love it because you've been shooting in Guanajuato my homestate. I was born in San Miguel de Allende and live some time in Dolores Hidalgo Guanajuato. You explain things really good.
Absolutely! take your time to make your decision. Make sure to understand all the basics of photography before you make the jump into buying other lenses. Eventually, you will feel more comfortable to experiment and get the equipment you actually need for your preferred photography genre.

The kit lenses can be great. I've actually used them to successfully photograph an entire wedding. I can't wait till I have enough to purchase a 24-70 F2.8 for better quality what I was able to do with the kit lens was still great. No I am not a pro and likely never will take that step but still I am enthused enough to have shoot over 100,000 photos over 14 years.
@@AayyMax Because most of the wedding was in good light and when it wasn't I used my flash. I never said it was as good as a F2.8, just that used right it can be a "good" lens. Never said it was the best.

The best video I found about the 18-55mm kit lens, thanks 🙏🏼
You're most welcome! :)
@@PhotographyPro Which lens would be my next option for photography? Thanks in advance.
@@RobertRodriguez19 It really depends on what you want to shoot as to which lens you invest in next. For wildlife photographers, a good telephoto lens is key. For portrait photographers, perhaps a 35mm or 50mm prime lens would be useful. For landscape photographers, perhaps a wide angle lens. I think its best to decide what kind of photos you want to create and then choose a lens which can get you doing just that :)
@@PhotographyPro thank you very much, I think the 50mm would a be my choice since I would be doing portrait photography. But there would be cases where I might need to shoot kind of landscape thanks for your recommendations 😊
@@RobertRodriguez19 You are very welcome! A 50mm lens can also work well for a more close up landscape shot so it does sound like a good choice :)
Thanks for being such a CLEAR teacher! Liked..Subbed!
You really explain things so well.
Yes he does
Thank you so much!! I just subscribed! Yayyy!
That's great to hear Tanguanikia, welcome to Digital Camera Mastery! Just let us know if you need any help along the way :)
I love your videos and I also love it because you've been shooting in Guanajuato my homestate. I was born in San Miguel de Allende and live some time in Dolores Hidalgo Guanajuato. You explain things really good.
Glad you enjoyed them, Enrique! :)
informative, nice, calm and very personable 😊
Good demonstration and explanation. You can do a lot with a humble kit lens and a digital camera that is a few years or generations old.
So good to give beginners the best advice!
Finally, found the best tutor 😍. Loved the ideas shared. Thank you !
I love this! The explanation and everything! Very eloquent speaker! Makes so much sense!
Glad you think so!
Perfectly explained, so much learned. Thank you.
That's great Rob:) I'd definitely recommend checking out the full course here: photpro.to/dcm-c
This was super helpful for a newbie like myself. Thanks for not just dismissing a kit lens and helping people use their tools
Great explanation for a beginner. I keep seeing that I need to by the body and a separate 50mm lens, so this is good to know I don't need it yet

The kit lenses can be great. I've actually used them to successfully photograph an entire wedding. I can't wait till I have enough to purchase a 24-70 F2.8 for better quality what I was able to do with the kit lens was still great. No I am not a pro and likely never will take that step but still I am enthused enough to have shoot over 100,000 photos over 14 years.
MyDigitalParadise I've used my 18-55 for a good bit now for sessions, engagements, and even sports.
How, in anything but decent sunlight I have to crank my iso and end up with grainy photos
@@AayyMax Because most of the wedding was in good light and when it wasn't I used my flash. I never said it was as good as a F2.8, just that used right it can be a "good" lens. Never said it was the best.
I love the way he explain everything into details. Congratulations 🎊
