Of Course Camera Gear Matters
When Cartier-Bresson caught that ‘decisive moment’, his gear mattered. And it’s not because of high-resolution images or great dynamic range or super sharp motion capture. It’s because he was comfortable with his camera. And this is why gear matters.
By far the biggest determining factor in making either good and bad images is the photographer. You will take your best images with the camera you enjoy using the most. The idea that the ergonomics and aesthetics of a camera don’t matter, and it’s just for hipsters etc. is shortsighted and untrue.
A camera that makes you want to pick it up and use it, is a camera that will make you take more photos with it. And a camera that makes you take more photos is a camera that gives you more practise both using the camera and making images. There’s no better way to learn that actually practising something.

My channel is all about photography related tips, reviews and techniques. I aim to create video content that doesn't already exist on YouTube. I also try to focus on teaching the art of photography rather than being an overly gear-heavy channel. You can support me on Patreon if you like what I'm doing and want to see more of it.
