The same question which I asked my friends and to our common friend google. If you are wondering what should be your next camera, I can help you.
Let me point out a common misunderstanding related to photography gear:
-Beautiful photos come only from expensive gears-
No... The above statement is not correct. In this decade, it's easy to become a photographer since our smartphones are capable of shooting anything we see. If you are interested in photography, my first suggestion is.... not to worry about the gear which you have within your hand (smartphone or any device which can take a photo). To make a decent photo out of any camera, we should know the basics of photography. Which means, how to frame a scene, what to include in a frame, what not to include, angle of shooting, timing, light, camera settings, and more... These factors matters a lot in photography.
If we manage to invest our time to understand these things, I guarantee you that you can definitely make a change in your photos. Purchasing sophisticated gear alone don't makes us a better photographer. Learning the basics of photography is much more important than expensive gears. With YouTube and Google content, learning photography is very easy. I learned only from YouTube, Google and Instagram, and a lot moreeee.....to learn!!!!!!!!!!.
So learning and applying what you learned should go in parallel. Thus you can understand, how to make maximum out of the gear which you have. At the same, during this process you will feel that the gear you have is not capable of delivering what you are looking for. At that point ,you can think about investing in new gear.
All the professional photographers chose gears based on their requirements. Based on available functions in the gear, genre of photography, pricing, etc. In 2021, a smartphone is also capable of delivering magical shots if we can compose the shot neatly. So don't worry about the gear, invest your time for learning and you'll realize the capabilities of your gear.
Any camera irrespective of brand, pricing or technology can take epic photos, the key role is played by the photographer, not the camera.
If you want to purchase any camera, buy anything which you can afford and learn photography....Then you are a better photographer.
-Happy Learning-
