Have you ever been curious to know what spending more money on a camera system actually gets you? What if I told you that going from this $100 camera to a $10000 camera, you’ll actually lose features. To find out, I’ve got six tiers to showcase everything you could possibly gain, or lose when spending more money.
Photography has a ton of variables depending on what you enjoy photographing. If you’re a landscape photographer you care far less about auto focus and far more about a sturdy tripod and image quality. If you’re a street photographer you’ll prioritize weight, size, and focal length far more than say, a wildlife photographer. Thus it’s impossible to compare cameras for every genre as certain cameras are better tools for the job than others.
With that mind, I will be comparing raw image quality of every camera in our lineup, which you can actually download the image files yourself if you’d like to see those differences in full resolution. You can find that linked in the description below the like button or if you’re watching on your tv, just scan this QR code with your phone.
Image quality isn’t everything though, in fact most cameras take decent images. A lot of what separates cameras nowadays are things like auto focus, ergonomics, hybrid video capabilities, or special stuff like film simulations, auto focus eye tracking, or retro designs that impact how your interact with the camera. Lastly one of the best ways to improve your image quality has nothing to do with your camera, it’s the quality of your lens choice. Thus this video is much more than simply the results of a few side by side photos. Throughout this video, I’ll discuss what makes every camera special and what exactly it is that you gain (or sometimes lose) by spending more money.
