[Gozzila100]

hallo.. i am new i want to know if all photos need photoshop to be better or if i use correct lens it is no impossible. It is better to buy lenses or use lenses filters?

If you shoot in RAW, everything needs to be edited, at least somewhat. If you shoot in JPEG then it is personal preference. If you think the shot needs correcting or sharpening, then it needs Photoshop (or Lightroom, Aperture, etc.)

What kind of filters are you referring to? Most filters add an effect that a lens alone cannot achieve. So I would say both... you need the proper lenses as well as the proper filters to accompany those lenses based on your personal needs.

i got a digital camera with built lense.. the simples cameras you know (i am going to buy new camere thesedays). I mean it is better to buy 3-4 lenses and spend money (because they are too expensive) or have a good lens and use photoshop to give the result i want, like blurs, contrast etc..

i can undestand what you say, but i can see that the most of the photos are edited (on brightness, contract, colors etc..)

The goal is to get it as close to right in the camera. Your camera, having a built in lens, will have some limitations.

That is why DSLR cameras have interchangeable lenses. There are 3 quality level grades of both DSLR cameras and lenses - entry-level (consumer) grade, prosumer grade, and professional grade.

Consumer grade DSLRs range in price from $500 including a 'kit' lens, to $1200 or so for just a camera body with no lens.
Prosumer grade camea bodies start at anout $2000 and go up to $3500 or so.
Pro grade cameras are in the $5000 to $8000 range.

Lens cost is a function of both focal length and maximum lens aperture. A common consumer grade zoom kit lens is the $140 or so, 18 mm to 55 mm f/3.5-5.6 lens.
Long focal length, wide aperture professional grade lenses can cost over $10,000. Nikon 600mm f/4.0G ED VR II AF-S SWM Super Telephoto Lens for Nikon FX and DX Format Digital SLR

This isn't a one or the other question. There's things you can't do in the camera, and there's things you can't do in post production. Edit every photo? Well I edit every photo I like and typically don't like the ones I don't edit.

It depends how much you chase perfection.
