Hey all, long time lurker first time poster.
I've been working a lot lately, and saving up as well. Now the time has come to invest in some gear (with cash not credit). I'm not here to ask what I should buy with what I have but if I should buy at all? I see that people look for owner operators or sometimes just a DP with camera system knowledge.
Is there a benefit to investing a sh-ton into a pro level camera system vs renting per job or vise versa?
A bit of background to my area, smaller market city with a big gap from wedding videographers/low budget web to high budget full blown commercial operations. Would love to move into that middle area.
Thanks for any insight you can provide!!
