Photography brands scam us. They do it legally and correctly, but they do it after all. In today's article I will explain how you can avoid falling into the trap when buying a SLR camera , and even how to take advantage of this issue. It is an extremely simple method with which you can get very good SLR cameras, with extraordinary benefits but with a much more affordable price, sometimes being able to reach half. When I tell you the strategy you will see that it has an overwhelming logic.
THE MISCHIEF OF BRANDS ...
The marks are cunning. They make you believe that as you do not buy your latest model you will be left behind, outdated, outdated, with benefits inferior to those of the cameras of the rest of the mortals. When they are only false beliefs or superstitions that create us. And we chop. We all fall. Soon the brand goes and launches a new model, renovated, with more megapixels, with more features and features, and almost double the price. You look dumb face. I don't say it's wrong. If I understand it. Photography houses live on this, the more people buy cameras better, and if they are expensive, even better. And if they get that same people leave that camera a year or 2 and later spend money on a newer model, there I no longer tell you.THE SOLUTION: DO NOT BUY THE LATEST MODEL
As simple as that. Cunning is simply looking for the penultimate model. The model just before the last one, in my view, is the most attractive and the one that becomes the best quality / price ratio.I EXPLAIN.
The way this works is that the brand launches a model, puts a price on it and puts it on sale. Some time later (sometimes just a matter of months), it launches a new model, which is basically the same as the previous one, with more or less improvements, and the high price of the previous model applies. And what about the previous model? Well, there is the trick: the previous model remains for sale, even for a long time, but at an incredibly reduced price. There is the issue. How does a camera that cost 750 Euros the day of its launch end up costing 350 Euros? Amazing Even if you told me hey, that camera is 10 years ago, the poor one is already obsolete , well, I accept it. But a camera that only 1 or 2 years ago was presented to the consumer as the latest innovation in photography, how can it lower so much in price? And what is more intriguing .. If they sell it for 350 Euros they continue to earn money, how much did they earn before, selling it twice?AND ANOTHER IMPORTANT REASON
As if all this were not enough, I have for you another reason why you should not rush to buy the latest modelImmediately: in many occasions the first copies of any camera model contain some small defect, some software failure, things that are still to be polished and that the brand finishes adjusting in subsequent batches of that model. It is not that this is a problem, since in the worst case you take the camera to the manufacturer, if it came with any major factory failure, and surely they will change it for a new one. But it is always more prudent not to run to buy the latest model quickly. It is advisable to wait a little, give it time, let other consumers buy it, try it, discover all those little bugs that the camera may have, that the brand corrects them and there already shop with more peace of mind. It is for this same reason that the Photographer's Blog will never be the first blog to cover or present a camera recently released to the market. I like to allow a little time to pass, until the production of the camera stabilizes a bit, before putting your hand on it. Remember: if you are going to buy the latest model of a camera, think that in a year or at most two that same camera will cost much less. Meanwhile, you have EXCELLENT model available that at this moment cost much less than what their first owners came to pay.EXAMPLES OF LARGE CAMERAS AT SMALL PRICES
