I want to start photography. My question would be 1.) How much will the whole cost me, and 2.) Do I also need a laptop? And if so what for one and what programs to edit the images.
1.) Depends on what you want and whether you buy eg new or used.
2.) Yes, PC / Laptop would be good. Somewhere you have to collect the photos so synonymous, manage and edit.
There are many machining programs. From free to quite expensive.
Ne I want to buy everything new and have a very good program for a price that is still relatively okay
What about budget?
It does not matter.
No it is not. What does a 5,000 euro or 10,000 euro proposal mean for you if you do not have the money?
I have enough money over that I do not have to worry
Then get a Canon and a lens: https://www.photospecialist.de/canon-ef-800mm-1-5-6-l-is-usm?channable=e13529.MjEzNQ
Should be fantastic.
By the way: Can I borrow that then? Is personally too expensive with personally.
If we like to see each other. But I'm talking about beginners stuff and I do not think that's suitable for a beginner. Is more of a professional thing
Yes, but it is good and can certainly be used from the beginning. It's just a budget thing.
Sure it is such a thing, but you can believe me that I have enough money to buy it, but I do not see it as a beginner to buy such a thing and in the end, I have no interest in photography. What good is that for me then?
Well you can also learn on professional equipment. Since you can't push it on the technology synonymous if the pictures are not good haha.
So, say something. 300 euro? 500 euro? 1000 euro? 2000 euro?
Okay then I say 3,000-4,000
Including laptop / PC? Sure you are not trolling?
I have a laptop
How about a Canon EOS R? Or Sony Alpha 3 III?
The more budget, the more you get.
1) It's like asking, "I want to learn to drive, what does it cost?" Well you can start learning with an old Smart or you can also get the latest Suzuki Swift Sport or just a Porsche. It depends on your budget.
You can also get into photography with your used Samsung from the NX series, which you are now thrown under lens with less than 150 euro, because Samsung no longer produces cameras and lenses. Otherwise new starter cameras like the EOS M100 you get with lens already for 350 euro or the Sony Alpha 6000 for ~ 500 euro. For ~ 530 euro you get the slightly better EOS M50 with lens.
2) Nope, one PC is enough. Theoretically, even just a cell phone or a tablet, because there you can also connect a memory card reader, and many apps can now also RAW images edit (Snapseed, Lightroom). Common freeware tool on the PC is Darktable and Gimp or the payment software Photoshop and Lightroom for ~ 12 Euro per month.
Unfortunately, unfortunately it does not work, except for the seller!
What are your experiences with photography? How many thousands of pictures did you possibly make with your smartphone and what were the main motives, rather group photos, individual faces, party and event photos or nature and landscape?
Can the camera equipment be heavier than 4kg?
How much money can you invest in equipment and upgrades at the start and every year thereafter?
How much time (hours per week or days per month) can be spent in addition to photography for digital development and image editing? 30 minutes per good picture is little.
What knowledge of the technical basics of camera technology (shutter speed, aperture, ISO value, depth of field, image noise, focal length and aberrations) you already have?
To what extent do the terms third rule, leading lines, golden section, contrast distribution tell you something?
The most expensive and latest camera equipment does not produce good photos when the person behind the camera does not know what he is doing and why he does the same.
With 500 euro you get used today sufficient equipment (camera + lens), for the first 2-3 years. During this time you can gain experience and learn (why certain photo situations need exactly these or those settings) and in three years you will surely know in which direction you want to go deeper into photography. And for this deepening you can then, with your acquired knowledge and your experience, choose the right camera for you.
If you do not want to believe it, but now want to spend money, then buy one of the new mirrorless cameras (Canon R, Leica L, Panasonic S or Nikon Z) with three (3) matching lenses and you are SUPER equipped… But it will you, without the previously mentioned knowledge and skills, do not help and the approximately 6,000 euro are gone.
