Is my camera good enough?

[GAME 55]

I wanted to learn more about photography, and know more about the "professional" modes and really properly shoot great photos.

 

Is the Canon EOS 4000D a good camera, does it have attachments that can help it become more... PRO?

 

I already own it, so give me your opinion and some advice.

It is a good camera for beginner photographers and it's user friendly for beginners to DSLRs.. If you want to learn more about shooting photographs and modes... Contact me on my PC(Personal Chat).

OK, thank you so much for the information, I really appreciate it!

you can do a lot with that. it looks to be very similar to a t5.

I learned this from going to a Model T car races last year.  The fellow i started to talk to with looked like a 2foot long telephoto scope, marry the lenses and date the camera.   Ive now bought 3 eos lenses and just have a cannon t6 rebel, still looking for a good deal and hopefully get lucky this year due to the Kaos

Yep, your 400D should be fine. Shoot raw and start experimenting with aperture priority, shutter priority, and manual modes so you can start honing your exposure.

 It's not just a knowledge of the camera, though. Composition is the other huge thing. Just go out and shoot a lot. It comes with practice. When I was learning, I'd spend time browsing photo websites, looking at photos I liked, and thinking, "Wow, I'd like to try something like that" and then go out and give it a shot.

I've shot, and made money with, near 20 year old dSLRs (Canon 10d)

It's not the gear, it's the user

I had a second-hand 10D back in the day. Shot with it for three years before getting a second-hand 5D.

It can do quite a bit with the right user, so master its controls and shoot as much as you can.

 

As for gear to add, you'd learn about that as you encounter limitations. You'd realize the limits of the kit lens and the built-in flash down the line, for example.
