Things to consider when buying your first camera and lenses

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!
