Photography equipment is not cheap, and as such, it pays to think long and hard about where exactly you are spending your money. And so, when it comes time to upgrade some of your gear, is it better to put your money toward a camera or a lens first? This helpful video tutorial features an experience photographer discussing the topic and offering some great advice to help you ensure you get the equipment that will serve you and your budget best.
Coming to you from Julia Trotti, this excellent video discusses whether you should upgrade your camera or lens first. If your camera and lens are about of the same generation, I think one should generally aim for upgrading the lens first. If you absolutely need a certain camera feature, such as a robust autofocus system or fast burst rate, then yes, go for the body upgrade, but when it comes to image quality, generally, the lens will have a bigger impact on, particularly when we are talking about modern camera sensors, which are all quite good. On the other hand, upgrading from something like a kit lens to a professional lens will have a noticeable impact on the quality of your photos. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Trotti.
