If you are just getting started as a photographer, this post is for you! We’ve put together a list of our favorite and most loved cameras and lenses for new photographers.
When you are buying your first camera, a new lens, or you are upgrading your gear, you’ll want to consider things like price, image quality, what kind of photography you are going to be using it for (mostly), what is the most recent model of the camera you like that is in your budget, how a particular camera and its capabilities will serve you now, and down the road. You may also be deciding between a DSLR and a mirrorless camera, so we have put both on our list!
From cost and design, to image quality and features, there is a lot to consider when you are buying your first camera or bigger upgrade. Once you’ve done some research on how to choose your first camera, you’re ready to shop! Here are some of the best cameras for new photographers. To view and shop our full list of picks, you can visit our Amazon store front right here.
When you are choosing a lens in the beginning, remember to consider if it is compatible with your camera, if it suits your focal length needs, the cost for your budget, and if it has a decent amount of flexibility, as when you are just starting you may not have a wide variety of lenses.
