What Should I Upgrade First - My Camera Or My Lens? Please Help Me!  Hi and welcome to Episode 121 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick, and in each episode I will try to explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes (ish) without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. And not Google. No offense Google.

Before I go on I need your help. I need your questions to answer. More on this at the end.

Here is the answery bit.
You should upgrade your lens before you upgrade your camera if you want to get higher quality, sharper images. Upgrading your camera lens will generally improve the quality of your photos more than replacing your camera body. You will also be able to shoot a wider range of subjects with a new lens. Camera lenses also have a longer working life than cameras, and are upgraded less frequently by manufacturers.

There will be times when you need to replace your camera first, but I will come onto them.
