I'm more of the opinion find out what you need get it practice with it. If you read the op I stated what I had asked if it was suitable and got arsey comments (and I'm not the only who thought that)if I need to buy new kit and learn more I will I'm not going to be charging or doing professional photos anytime soon I know that. People give smart witty answers that are no use I'm sorry if I was angry in my reply I just get annoyed with people who ( not you) who offer no help other than a smart arse comment to make themselves feel bigger and more all knowing than someone looking for advice
A while ago I read something interesting on a photography blog about what gear to recommend to someone just getting into photography and whilst I can't remember it word for word I remember the gist...
The guy recommended a top end full frame DSLR, the sort of thing that a pro wedding shooter might use, and three expensive top end prime lenses (many people think that three primes or indeed three zooms covering a popular range of focal lengths is the ideal setup.) The total cost was well into the thousands
This, the blogger argued, would initially seem daft but when you look at the buying and upgrading path that the average keen amateur photographer goes down over a period of years and add up the cost it often costs more than just going for the top end gear would
So, many of us buy an entry to mid level DSLR and a "kit" lens or two and maybe soon get frustrated and so change the entry level zooms for better ones and then upgrade the camera for a better one and then go for even better lenses and then get a top end DSLR and then even better lenses and on and on it goes before going almost back to basics with a nice camera and three really nice lenses
Such a final end point could be...
Nikon D810 - £2700.
Sigma 35mm f1.4 Art - £670.
Sigma 50mm f1.4 Art - £850.
Sigma 85mm f1.4 - £660.
Total - £A LOT.
That's a lot to spend on really nice kit on day one but you could spend twice that over a period of 5 to 10 years as you chop and change gear.
Not that I'd recommend buying top end gear straight off
if only for the reason that photography can take you in many different directions. For example you may get into macro photography, or shooting sports events or architecture... or weddings... and for any one of these specialist areas there may be gear that'd suit you better
