Hello All,
I wanted to get some input from this forum. I currently own an older model Canon D20 with factory lens 28-120mm. I have been trying to use it and the photo quality has not been satisfactory while trying to take pictures of Real Estate for my Job. I have been taking the pictures twice with my Cell Phone Samsung Note 4 and afterwards i end up using mostly photo's from Phone due to the quality looking better.
So i decided to signup for a class to learn the basics of the D20 to see if i could improve the quality of my pictures and the instructor basically told me that the D20 would never exceed my current cell phone with the current lens setup and that the body of the camera is just to old of technology to get quality modern pictures. So he recommended that i invest in a newer model DSLR and a wide angle lens around 14mm, but also brought up if i am only taking real estate photo's that i maybe should look into upgrading my cell phone to the new Google Pixel.
So over the weekend looked at different model cameras and the google pixel and feel lost a little. I even remembered i have a Gopro Hero 3 Black that had the ability to take pictures so i dug it out and played with it some and just unsure what to do.
If you were in my shoes, what route would you go if your not looking to become a photographer really and just use the equipment for my job and occasional personal use.
1) Buy a new DSLR camera and Wide lens?
2) Upgrade my Note 4 to the new Google Pixel phone?
3) Use my D20?
4) Use my Note 4?
5) Use my Gopro Hero 3 Black?
Basically im looking to improve the quality of my listing pictures without spending a ton of money on equipment i will not use but 15-30 times a year for listing photos
