I wanted to talk a little bit about why I'm still using a 6 year old camera because when I am asked what camera I use there isn't really a short answer. I've been using a Canon 70d for personal work for 6 years now and that is because I learned two important things. The first thing I learned is that you need to know your subject inside out before you shoot it. The more you know and understand it, the more you will be able to tell it's story by using not only the right camera but more importantly the right lighting, sound, and editing . The second thing would be that story matters most. By story I mean that what you say is more important than with what you use to say it. What has worked for me was focusing on the script, the actors, the scenery, and all things that go into making a film, not just the choice of camera. Overall the most essential thing is knowing who you are and what you want to say. The choice of camera should come after knowing that.
