Too often this is the major question to be considered, one that overrides and compromises everything else. If you have a budget in mind, you can eliminate a lot of equipment without considering any technical details. For example, if your budget is $100 and you want a digital device, you’re unlikely to get much—if anything—for the money. You might get lucky but when resolution, accuracy, or setting masters—the technical stuff—is considered, these elements may put you in a losing position. The answer? Get more money.
