Mixing camera brands is a rookie mistake that could cost you thousands and even make photography harder

Cameras.

I can’t remember the last time one of the major camera manufacturers released a truly bad camera.

The problem, then, is that this makes it very hard to pick a lane.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with owning cameras from multiple manufacturers. If you’re a camera enthusiast and you can afford it, go wild! But if you’re new to photography and/or are working within a budget, it might be best to stave off the desire to pick up another system just yet and stick with what you’ve got. The reasons why are quite simple: familiarity and lenses.
