A long-term Nikon user, Andy recently upgraded to a full-frame setup after having shot solely on DX bodies. Not convinced by mirrorless – yet – Andy’s new D780 DSLR was selected as much for its video chops as its impeccable still camera capabilities.
With a YouTube channel hungry for a feed of regular content, Andy needed a camera that could do both stills and video well.
A published author, Andy is a leisure vehicle expert and contributes to various media in that sector. www.andyjenkinson.com
