hello shiloh_222,

Photography hobby is quite expensive as specially in this day but it's more enjoyable went you know how.. i use to have friend who love this kind of hobby. He always took picture with his high digital camera and the photo that he took gave him alots of cash. thanks for asking.

it's not an expensive hobby if you buy one digital camera,of course if you like to do some professional work it will be very expensive to keep a good camera and more lens.

yes it is a very expensive hobby because if you buy a really good 35 mm digital camera and you buy a few good lenses for the camera, it can really run up. it can get to be a very expensive hobby but most definitely a very fun one.

Hi Shiloh, I do agree that Photography is an expensive hobby, if you are really into it. With the professional camera being readily available to all kinds of consumers, one can get the highest quality of camera and accessories in certain stores. And if one will really invest in photography, well one will not really be contented in just buying a "mediocre" model or a product. Of course one will want to buy the best in the line of the products that is available. And with technology rising up fast, what is the top of the line product may easily be replaced anytime. For me I want to buy new gear for the camera but I am limited by the budget. I do hope someday I'll be able to buy all that I wanted for photography!

It is extremely expensive! I've spent thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars on my cameras, lenses, flashes, filters, tripods, bags, memory cards etc. And that doesn't even include spending money on computers or editing programs such as Photoshop!

And that's just what I've bought so far! In the future I plan on purchasing studio lighting, backgrounds, etc. so I expect to spend a lot more money on that!

One day I would love to own a digital medium format camera... which can cost well over $40,000!

So yes... photography is an extremely expensive hobby!

Ya offcourse it's an costliest or expensive hobby. But some body from that they will feel free to see or remember their olden days. But nawadays cyber shots or video recordings all are emerged.
