Hey Joshua. I am a new photographer and have a question for you. I just got my camera on Christmas day and am still experimenting with it. The camera is a Kodak pixpro AZ401 and I was wondering if that is a good brand to start with. I’ve seen many others using Nikon and Canon but not many using Kodak. Did I invest in the correct brand?
Thanks a lot,
Hanna
Hi Hanna,
A camera like that is certainly a good place to start to begin to understand the fundamentals of photography. In time though you will want to invest in an SLR so that you can change lenses and have the utmost control over your photographs.
Cheers,
Josh
