Puzzling this post???

I spend quite a bit of time here, and I can't recall when I have ever seen anyone discourage a "noob" from buying a $3000 to $8000 camera. It's their money.


I am guilty as charged your honour.
I have done it, and will do it again for many of the reasons listed in this thread.

It doesn't happen often, but I have also done it, and will also continue to.

I have no idea why so many people try to discourage newbies from buying high end cameras, if that's what they want. It's like telling someone not to buy a Corvette because all they ever drove previously was a pickup truck. If you have an interest in learning how to use a camera, any camera, then there is no reason not to try. There are endless resources available, many free, to provide you with the info and techniques necessary. The only people I would try to discourage are the ones who can't afford to buy high end gear, and nobody on here knows who those people are. If you have the interest and can afford it, then buy what you want. You will probably save money by not going through several lesser cameras before you get to the one you want. You have already learned that, so you are one step up. Enjoy your camera!

If newbies have the money and believe that they will actually make photography their hobby as opposed to their new camera becoming an expensive paperweight in six months then they should go for it. If it doesn't work out they can always sell their equipment and get some of their money back.

You have to carefully read the manual. Everything is in the manual.
