How to avoid costly and time wasting mistakes.

I first published this article “way back” in February 2020. I have recently reviewed it and decided it needed some major re-works and updates. This is the updated version.
I’ve picked out my top 6 tips I wish I knew before buying my first camera (and many other cameras).
My adventurous steps in upgrading and trading around different bodies/brands below:
- My first camera was a Nikon point-and-shoot.
- Then I upgraded a crop sensor Canon DSLR,
- Afterwards returning to Nikon with a full frame DSLR
- Then trying out mirrorless with a crop sensor Sony
- Then diving more into Sony with their full frame camera
- And back to Canon…and then I added another Canon,
- I’ve recently (as of 2021) picked up a Ricoh GRiii point-and-shoot for street photography.
The list in the last 3 years has now expanded to trying out a different Ricoh, a Fuji, three Leicas, and a vintage Epson from 2004. More on all of that in a future post.
