It doesn't work like that with photography. Buying a top end, semi-pro/professional camera does not make you instantly take better photos, nor does it make any difference when learning how to take photos.
It's about the person behind the camera, not the camera itself.
Having a camera worth £1,000 does not make every photo you take, whether it be simple or complex, better at all. You need to know how to use it.
The top end cameras are designed for the professionals for a reason. They need the things it can do, the full frame sensors, the detail, because they are going to use it in ways you can't. Not until you understand it all.
I said it would give me the capacity to use the more advanced features when I feel ready, using your example; when I know how to use it and understand it. I don't see how that translates into me saying that the camera will give me better results as soon as I get it.
Patronising me for something I didn't even say is cool though.
Mate, I wasn't patronising. Really, I wasn't. I apologise if it come across that way.
I know where you're coming from, I really do. I thought that at first when I started out, but it really does not work that way.
You are better off getting an entry D-SLR camera, such as McMoist's, and starting from there. Seriously. I wouldn't just say that.
That way you'll get to know how it works, how it functions, what it can do. Plus, you forget the camera is only 10% of a photo. You've got the photographer and the lenses.
Get a an entry camera, learn about it. Once you're ready, upgrade. Then when you're ready again, upgrade again.
It isn't as easy as,
I have a pro camera, I can't use it but will and one day I will understand it.
I sincerely do not mean that in a horrible way. It's a completely different ball game to technology in terms of, 'I've got better,'
I suggest you get an entry cam. Canon, of course. You can still use all Canon lenses, so don't worry about that. Just remember that EF lenses will not have a true focal lengthy on cropped sensors.
Please take this on board. I am not trying to be horrible, patronizing or anything of the sort.
