• When asking a photographer for camera advice, if you “come better prepared with questions and you’ll get a better answer.”

So with that in mind, before you ask for advice, you might want to ask yourself the following questions.

2. Where do you see the majority of your images being used?
3. How much do you want to spend on a camera?
