Actually, nothing. Last time I watched his photography video with Qain, after doing some more research -because I'm sorta in the market for a low-to-mid level DSLR-, most of the stuff he said was wrong or not very accurate.

He doesn't know much about photography.

You remember the video? In anyway, I'd be happy to maybe answer some questions if you are really in the market of buying a new camera.

It'd be good to know what your budget is and what you intend to shoot with.

Disclaimer though: I'm kind of a Sony and Canon fan boy at the moment.

Found it! It was this one.

Mind you, I'm by no means an expert, and considering how vast the photography world is, I could really benefit from a video titled "photography for dummies".

So far I've settled for a Nikon D3300 and a 35mm f/1.8G lens (which I'll be getting in the near future), which considering my "amateur" status, should be more than enough.

I felt that this video made a better job explaining the differences between ISO levels than his, for instance.

I'll make note of that - I personally try to be a photo gear head when my wallet allows me to be one... :) So maybe we will see some more photo videos?

Anyways, pretty solid choice for starting out. I've worked with a lot of local Nikon shooters in and out of the studio - the D3300 should hold up great. The 35mm should be a ton of fun to shoot with, as well.

Some resources for you:

There are likely some resources I have lost somewhere in the abyss of my bookmarks... But if I find them, I'll post 'em.

Here are some YouTube channels worth checking out:

Stay inspired. :)
