Gears for Photography

We all have been fascinated by different types of cameras available in the market either from canon, Nikon, Pentax or any other company. What we don’t realize is that we don’t need a heck lot of an equipment to start off into photography.

Well I have to mention that different type of photography requires different types of gears. This section is all about that and we are going to discuss that What type of gears should a Beginner Have. I found my next article title I see.

From an entry level prospective you as a photographer does not have a whole lot of money to spend into photography just yet. And Knowing which camera to invest in seems a lot harder than giving an exam.

Let’s solve your problems and learn about different gears for photography.

I will divide this section also into sections.

• Cameras
• Lenses

Cameras

As an absolute beginner in photography you might be confused which brand to go with which camera will perform well or does this camera work for both photography and videography?

These are the initial questions you might have as a budding photographer. And also, there is the issue of money, parents really don’t allow a really expensive camera on the first go.

The Absolute Need To know thing is that “Camera Body” is the whole deal while purchasing a new camera.

More over the camera is divided into two categories

New Users

Professionals

So what’s the difference? New Users are “you” who are going to purchase their first ever camera, and Professionals are those who are already been in photography industry for quite a long time.

So we are going to talk about Entry level Camera for new users. Entry level cameras include Canon 77D, Canon 80D, Canon 760D which you as a new user can consider into buying. My Personal Recommendation is Canon 80D it will help in both photography and videography. And this three mentioned above are not way to expensive to buy.

Lenses

After the hard decision about which camera to buy in the budget, it’s time to deal with Lenses. There are wide range of lenses available in market but what you need to buy is this, you need to have a 18-55mm along with 55-250mm lenses that’s the standard lens combo kit available with most of the cameras you are going to purchase.

According to what type of photography you will be interested in there are different type of lenses.

Let’s see which type of photography requires which lens kit.
