I'm Jaz Gulati and welcome to another group function. Today\u2019s mission is to help you figure out, which camera to buy? Like I am absolutely inundated with messages and one of the messages I get is, \u201cJaz can just tell me which camera I should buy?\u201d Like people we don't want to do all the homework and the research and why should you right?\n\n\n\nJaz\u2019s Introduction:\xa0Nowadays there\u2019s too much variety there\u2019s Sonys, there\u2019s Nikons, there\u2019s Canons, there\u2019s a lot of variety and it can get very confusing to know which setup is for you especially when some gurus will recommend a 60 millimeter lens and others will recommend a 110 millimeter lens or something and a different ring flash and a bracket system. It can get really confusing especially if you\u2019re buying your first camera.So I got an expert Dr Alessandro Devigus who owns the instagram page dentist.camera which is just brilliant right? Because what he shares is every dentist who\u2019s passionate about photography they share their setup, what are they using on that instagram page. So definitely check that one out. The question I\u2019m answering for you today guys is if you\u2019re on a budget, you\u2019re a new grad and you\u2019re going to buy your first camera, which camera does Alessandro think you should buy and then also he\u2019s answering the question if you are an established dentist in the sense that you\u2019ve got a bit more money and you\u2019re maybe looking to upgrade your set which is the bells and whistles one that he would advocate.Now bear in mind that Alessandro is team Nikon and I\u2019m team Canon, so obviously he\u2019s going to recommend Nikon right? So it\u2019s totally cool honestly. When you get a Nikon or a Canon, it\u2019s not going to make a world of difference at all. I would probably go with the setup that he recommends which I\u2019ll keep in as a suspense for you obviously. The thing that people will probably also want to know is what is my setup, what am I using.Well I\u2019m using a very old model. I bought this like eight years ago right? I\u2019m using a canon 60d if I was getting my setup all over again if I was a new grad and instead of getting the 60d which was pretty good back then I\u2019d probably now get the canon 850d, I\u2019d get the 100 millimeter macro lens which is still the same one I have today and I\u2019d get a ring flash. Now I know you can get twin flashes and you get the sexy line angles and stuff but I think when you\u2019re starting out in photography you want consistency and you want to be able to take effective occlusal shots and you don\u2019t have to faff around too much.So I think start with the ring flash. It was designed for this kind of stuff, it\u2019s brilliant and it\u2019s going to get you a lot of good shots and you cannot, you can even be artistic with it. You can actually detach the ring flash part and sort of p...
