Buying a camera shouldn’t feel like a gamble… but for most beginners, it does.

I’ve seen too many people burn money on the wrong camera, not because they bought something “bad,” but because they bought the wrong thing for where they are right now.

And I know exactly how easy that mistake is to make… because I made it myself.

In this video, I walk you through the way I wish someone had explained cameras to me before I ever spent a dollar.

Not hype.
Not brand loyalty.
Not spec sheets that don’t matter yet.

Just real-world perspective from decades behind the camera, including the mistakes, the surprises, and the decisions that actually move the needle for beginners.

If you’re trying to decide which camera to buy, how much to spend, whether mirrorless or DSLR makes sense, crop vs full frame, or if you’re wondering whether you should buy new or used… this will save you time, money, and frustration.

And at the end, I’ll point you to the one next step that matters most once the camera decision is out of the way.
