Building a kit for photography can be very expensive, with the costs of high-end DSLRs, specialist lenses, and high quality accessories all adding up. Don’t let this put you off though – there are ways to minimise the cost of expanding and upgrading your setup.
Upgrade your kit bag – Forget new, go ‘like new’
Buying new may seem appealing, but it isn’t necessary. You can save massively by purchasing a second hand camera in excellent condition, with hardly any signs of use.
There are several options for where to buy used gear. Peer-to-peer sales on auction sites and online classified marketplaces sometimes offer attractive prices, however the anonymity of these sites make them risky options that can lead to issues and further expenses down the road. In addition, there is also a possibility that items aren’t always as described.
When it comes to buying high value gear, it makes sense to go through reputable dealers.
