If you’re new to photography don’t take offense. We are just having a little fun.
We all have to start somewhere and I bet the majority of beginner photographers act exactly like this when they get their first “real” camera. If you been using your DSLR for a while take a look at yourself and have a good laugh!

Too funny, so true…for me anyway! Lol
Me too Steve. However, if you tell anyone I’ll blatantly deny it 🙂
Lol
Karen Klefsky this made me think of you as you’re thinking of getting your first dslr.
HA HA HA TRUE
‘and possibly impregnate them’……..bwahahaha
Hilarious
Most peoples were a confused to buy which one of eos 5d full frame and not eos 550d full frame.
Haha. Dave Fore man, I’m guilty of all of those.
That was awful
Lol
P for Professional….it’s all you ever need 😛
Right!! Love it.
I totally remember this feeling!!!
Lol true!
Dwight S. Ladd you may like this video.
Idk why but to me, things aren’t as funny with a British accent.
I love all his videos – hadn’t even seen this one.
Lol! So true!
Uh what ?
my first DLSR was a 5D3
My first was the 5d classic, when it was new. Second camera was the 5D3. Took me a bit to upgrade haha.
Lol
Shasta Oliveira lol
sad face hahaaha!
So true
Rebecca, as a budding photog yourself, you might enjoy this video. You’re lucky, however, cuz you married the guy with the good gear. 😉
Yup still me hahaha! My camera is accumulating dust and I’ve had it forever now. Nikon d8 I wish I could afford a new one
Love it.
Been There, done that hehehe
This was me…WAS me… 😉
Hahahaha this weeks RAW talk?
I’d rather have the 50mm prime than a 24-105!!
Amen
C-mode lol
nice to see these guys getting press…
🙁
Kenneth Liao – Haha, reminds me of the old days with the Coolpix 990.
This guy is hilarious
Kylene, you’ll get a giggle out of this! 🙂
BWHAHAHA
Matthew Paige sounds bout right lol
the 50mm 1:4 was nice, and on the Rebel T4i i had, was equivalent to the 80mm that is so nice for portraits. It had a very shallow DoF that was really good for butterflies on flowers, etc. The 24-105L is better suited to a f/f sensor body.
Abby Frame.. hahahahaha. Us!
Yup!
I felt that way. Now I have the real deal. 5D Mark III !
I killed it on everything them killed it even harder with my 5d3. Started from crap and people assumed my photos were dslr way before I got a rebel.
Living that D3200 life over here!!
Digital rev, my mentors.
lol. Just sold my 24-105 and grabbed a 50mm
I put in a lot of work with my t2i and t3i when I got too a 5d I was a master. But don’t get twisted you can do a lot with a t2i I shot plenty of videos that you couldn’t even tell was shot with that little camera people mouths would drop when I showed up with it. Wish I would of kept it but it’s someone else’s blessing now
I took some great photos with a crop sensor as well. I still have my original as my back up. I’d have no problem doing a professional shoot with one in the case my full frame crapped out on me. I am thinking of ebaying it as the new mirrorless cameras are coming out full frame.
thanks 🙂
Hahahahah!!!! So funny and so true Jackie!
I still shoot with a d3100
My favorite lens! Plastic fantastic!
Really? Is that your only camera still? Like I love my camera, the only time I start feeling like i need something better is when someone with a really cool big camera comes around, or when I goto big events and my telephoto (kit) lens just seems useless. (Lol)
Like I always say, more expensive gear doesn’t make someone’s photos any better, it just makes taking them easier. Glass matters more.
Nifty fifty for the win
That’s awesome!
The 1.4 is amazing. My favorite lens.
My first was a rebel. Now we use a 5D and 7D. Saving up for the 5D markIII 🙂
This was so me 6 years ago with my rebel XSi lol. Now I have a 5D Mark II and 1Ds. Come a long way haha
I know right!
That is Kai from DigitalRev. He’s quite good actually. I love his sense of humour.
<Pentaxian (K7)
Kristina Fulton hahaha
Very funny!
Now at LEAST screw a protective UV filter onto that 24-70 before you scratch it. Making me crazy over here.
that lens looks like the plastic fantastic, aka the nifty fifty, which is actually a pretty great lens despite the price.
I took Christmas Photos of my son with my Nifty Fifty this year Daniel (My sons name is Daniel too). The 85mm f1.8 is a good lens too. If I break it or scratch it- no big deal.
Steve, this is pretty funny. Definitely what I feel like. Lol!
Anybody use a Sony Alpha or are you all Canon-heads?
Zach McGovern 🙂
Joey, you gotta watch this 🙂
Rosemarie Ferrer hehehe
Still a Canon Head Chaz but looking hard at the new A7II. There’s also a rumor that Nikon filed a patent for a full frame mirrorless that may be coming out.
Some of those were me when I first started. Hahaha
Lol
Michael Holmes and Tosha Pascuzzi. Lol. Might take other photographers to get the humor.
Ian Walston watch the video. It will make you laugh.
A77II here and was a stout Canon user before… The results have been Amazing !!!!
Love my sony alpha!!
This is my life right now.
Yup
Im totally about to do that with my 550 lol
That’s me and I love my T1i. I’m not trying to make a living with it though. Does what I need it to do. Helps preserve memories for family and friends.
Have a blessed 2015 all.
Micro four thirds here!!
Gabi watch this video lol
Just got my first DSLR a Canon 6D. I moved up from the Canon G2 which is a 4.0 Mega pixel, but the photo’s stand up quite well. Learning a whole new animal with the 6D, manual zoom etc…
Forget this one… click on “How to Annoy a Wildlife Photographer.” It’s shoot.
the 50 is awful! wouldn’t trade my 24-105 for anything. I replaced my two broken fantastic plastics with a 40 2.8
Johnny Yayo This is funny bro tell me if its true
Love my alpha.
#truth to this lol.
I’m a Canon-head, but I’ve always appreciated Alphas as well as Nikons
My first camera was a Sony Alpha, have Moved in to Nikon! 😉 but know a lot that use Cannons in Kansas City
I still use my 5d MKII…. kicks a*s!!
I have both and the 24-105 gets the most use on my 5D Mark iii
Beautiful Photo, people say i need to upgrade but i really love my T1I TOO
Thank you.
Any advice on a GOOD DSLR system for the wife? She is a freelance photog and is torn between the Canon 5D and Nikon D… i personally like Canon, but never ventured past a T2i
Cameras don’t take pictures light takes pictures
That pretty much nails it.
love the 24-105, but the 1.2 sees alot of action on my 5D III
Nikon D800, but it’s all good.
I totally see myself, lol.
The 550D is a great shooter! It was my 1st DSLR and I still use it from time to time.
Micheala Asato Upgrade your lens, you’ll get far better returns than upgrading your body!
Didn’t laugh once
I use nikons but if I could go back and do it all over again I would switch to Sony. I just don’t wanna lose money on all my lenses!
Paul Czyz Kevin Kumara
My cousin Sherri Collins needs to see this.
I have a Nikon DSLR and my dad has a cannon DSLR in my opinion my Nikon is easier to use.
I got the 5d 2 but my favorite is Sony nex5n the video is nice and small enough to take with me anywhere n
http://www.flickr.com/photos/35942475@N05/8526412213
I don’t see why you’d need to upgrade either 😛
Not saying Brian Branson didn’t take a great shot, but Michael Asato this is a good example.
Omg….me and my little Rebel T3……
Those are amazing. Thank you for sharing.
I remember when I first got into photography, it wasn’t even a SLR, but a PnS, A canon S3, thought it was the best thing in the world. Then I finally got my entry level XTI and have gone up since then -but each time I was like “damn this thing is awesome!” Same with lenses.. then I always wanted more 😛
canon heads
Has the article author been to an English class in his life?
My first was a Sony as well, now i shoot Nikon. ..
Joshua Mitchell Sort of entertaining
This guy is actually quite good . Goofy presentation but he really knows his stuff .
Why are you knocking the T2i? I had 2 at once for years. Here is one of my shots that I took with one. https://www.flickr.com/photos/toodamnice/13046887654/in/photostream/lightbox/
I love my 6Ds!
The photographer from Weekly Imogen uses a 550D and his photos are beautiful. 🙂 I wish I could get the 5D mark something…Maybe a 6D???? a little more affordable.
Blahwahahahahaha!!!!
Nikon D800 and happy there:)
I worked with many “professional” photographers that have big expensive cameras that know absolutely nothing when it comes to using it, so, they shoot on auto all the time
Scott Laumann avid Canon user prime example
Go for… But you have to remember there is a big difference between the 99, 7, 7r and 7k
Canon lol
Not wide enough.
My first one was a Rebel Xsi, and I upgraded to a 5D3 this last year. Will never go to crop again. And I love how much bigger and heavier it is. Don’t know why people are so hyped about small mirrorless cameras.
That’s me right now! 🙂
Julie Azzarello watch it haha
LOL he hit the nail right on the head!!!
When ONLY the best will do.
That 50mm on the 550D is an awesome lens.
24-105 is a WORKHORSE. Who cares if it’s F4. Learn its limitations.
Beth this made me giggle
It’s all in the eye, you don’t need $20,000 worth of equipment to take a good picture.
Lindsey Kluver I’ve felt like this before. Lmbo
Jamie Harris Mills lol
Chris Baliko, Natalie Ittu, Roma Lungu
lol
Lmao us!!! Khaizer Noel
I love digitalrev
lol
Who is kanye west. And who is beck. Never heard of them
I prefer the 50 1.2 over the 24-105 but I can’t live without the super versatile 24-70 2.8.
It’s not the Camera, it’s the eye behind the lens, I have a MK 111, and a 450D, my picture are the same on both.
We all know it’s about the lenses…
Andy Suits McCormack XD
To be fair your first one is better than that one.
Well yeah but i love it. I had no disillusions when i started. And this just sums it up haha
Kiri Leach lolz
Karen Collins Lisa Green
“NOOB” or just a person who isn’t as rich as you?
Karl S$#%&!@*ch Strand rofl
Well , you get what you pay for , do your research
i am pretty happy with my 650d not a full pro set up. but you can still get some good pics with it
A load of bullshit….not even funny…..!!!!
Gotta start somewhere!
I still found it funny.
You don’t know what you need until you gain experience.
Gaz Jones Brad Law Jordy van Zanten Daniel Bridge
Aimee Holtom
Andrew Burn Adam Grieve
Thant’s why noobs should stay with a 550 and not a 5D. Let real photographers, qualified photographers use the 5D’s. Waste of an article if you ask me.
Not exactly the best way to encourage people to want to get into photography. Thank God that there are many more professionals out there who are willing to help ‘NOOBs’ than there are wankers like Baisden Marc.
It was a bit of fun guys but it was also a fair lesson because it’s basically saying the two are far apart and it’s painfully obvious it is also saying master the art and the camera before spending a lot of cash on a pro camera because if you cannot master the basics, the 5D will be too much. It’s the same for guitar players, some will go and spend a fortune on a gibson Les Paul thinking their playing will improve when they’d be better off starting on a budget guitar
But you can run “P” mode :p
Totally agree with what your saying, I started with a 30d years back then jumped to a 1d mk3 and took me a long time to get a picture as good as I did with the 30d as it did allot more for you!
Exactly Chris. The video was funny but true in everything that it said. Going out buying a 5D mkIII will not net you great photos because the art and experience doesn’t come in the box with it. I’m using. Canon 550D and a few decent lenses but not L lenses but I’d like to upgrade one day when my skills justify it but paying £4000 for a pro camera body and lens is a lot of cash to part with when those skills are not yet polished and certainly a bad idea for those who have never left auto mode
I started with a 500d and learnt how to use it getting some great pix.. Now moved up to 70d with a couple of lenses to broaden my choices.. Loving it.. Would I get to use a pro camera if I’d got one? Not really a just an occasional shooter of everything from portraits to landscape to punk gigs.. Always learning.. Pic from 70d with 10-18mm
Sitting with your 5D when you first get it thinking wtf? When u master it omg amazing!!!!
Better to learn the basics on a nice guitar ! Or camera for that matter! But it takes dedication! If your just trying to look cool with your expensive gear then, well……… Noob on!
You can buy a nice guitar for under $500 Richard, certainly to start on
I know someone like this. I’ve see their photos wouldn’t matter how expensive the camera. They need to learn to use the focus
LOL!! be nice..
This guy is my favorite camera guy.
If you’re good it don’t matter what camera you got ….
I have worked with guys who have Canon 1Dx and I shoot better with my T2i
I also have another model of Canon as well 7D but it doesn’t matter which camera I use..
I know how to pull a good photo.. So the gear doesn’t make you creative or able to pull a good shot..
This is a bullshit post that gets lames to spend a shit load of money on something they aren’t ready for…
Like telling a person who never rode a motorcycle to go buy a 1400cc Hyabusa…..
Fucking stupid article…
Yep. Both are fine tools to create photos. Difference is one packs more power than the other. The additional power means nothing to a amateur.
Exactly but some people buy the most expensive gear thinking it will give them instant..
Talent…
Rick Trevino
Lol I like digital rev lol
Doesn’t matter which picture creating device you have now,as long as you know how to Photo shop. €8~/
Danielle Bush
Kai is hilarious… Love his videos
Is says go to a reputable dealer
Ernest Essiane
Depends what you mean by budget guitar?
Cheap & Nasty guitars you will have a hard time with learning. Poor action is where the downfall is on such , making it harder to play.
I took my 1dmkii out for a wedding today… The 1dmkiv 5dmkiii are sat in the boot of the car still
Study the user manual and practice practice it’s so worth preserving honestly watch you tube videos too!!
Connor Finch
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told professional photographers are going out of business. And I always tell them to look forward to paying $1,000 for their nephew to shoot their wedding with his first DSLR with the kit lens never once removed since purchase.
I’ll just keep doing what I do as my investment in photography keeps paying off time after time.
(Also Digital Rev) – Pro photographers w/cheap cameras: (some really cheap – toy/kid cameras):

…and possibly impregnate them.
Best part haha
With the guitar analogy…. I believe learning to play on a shit guitar is better… Harder maybe, but learning the hard way is a lesson well learned…. plus you appreciate a decent axe when you get your fingers on it!
Atleast it’s not a Nikon
Nikon owner ..wish i bought a canon ,,,,,
saw this couple years ago

Thats exactly how it was for me in the beginning.

A 550D certainly is not in the same league as a 5D, but given enough light it will take very nice (technically speaking) photos.

No question. Mastering the DSLR is as hard as becoming Cartier-Bresson just because u have a SLR. And no one is impressed or even intimidated. Perhaps annoyed.

I still get the same results with the reality on my shots with my 5DM3…but with the power of light room and other editors, I will have those expectation shots. It doesn’t matter if you have a cheap DSLR or high pricey one.
That was me – first pic out of the camera was horrible! I had the lens set to manual and was clueless. I think I actually cried once thinking I blew so much money 🙂 If I only knew how much $$ I’d spend on gear after I started to know what I was doing lol
Lies… LIES I tell you
i watch him alot on Youtube, he did an interesting series of videos where they gave pro photographers different types of toy cameras and they went around Hong Kong on photo shoots. He also reviews alot of cameras and lenses…Kai Wong – DigitalRev TV Presenter
