In this video, I’m going to walk you through a process that will help you choose the right camera for your needs; it’s the same process I use myself as I choose new photo and video gear. Here are the decision-making steps I talk about in the video:

1. Love what you already have
2. Learn to use your equipment properly
3. Don’t stress out about resolution (megapixels)
4. Don’t get on a tech merry-go-round
5. You don’t need UHD (4k video) just yet
6. Be wary of “filler resolution”
7. Separate the “nice to have” from the “must have”
8. Get separate photo and video gear in order to obtain the best quality images and video

I hope this helps you!

It may seem like what I say in this video about camera resolution and about separating the equipment you purchase for photograph and video is contradicting what I say in this post, or in this post, but it isn’t that. I’ve done a lot of research and I’ve given this topic a lot of thought, and I’ve simply become more nuanced in my understanding of many aspects of digital cameras; when I sat down and thought about what kind of advice I wanted to give in this video, the statements I made above rang truest.

Thanks for watching!
