Understanding the type of equipment that’s out there will help you decide what to use, and when. Choosing the right/best tool for the job is a huge part of that process. And spoiler alerts – the most expensive camera option is not always the best, depending on the situation. This post will hopefully also save you some money by explaining what you actually need, what’s most important for you based on your situation and the types of photos you want to create, and when to invest vs when a budget-friendly tool might be the best option.
Here are some suggestions on the type of camera gear & accessories that would make great additions to any beginner photographer’s camera bag:
- DSLR or Mirrorless camera – even a budget-friendly option is a great start
- 50mm 1.8 “nifty-fifty” lens
- 24-70mm zoom lens
- Multiple memory cards
- Spare batteries
- Tripod
- Lens wipes
- Remote camera “shutter release”
- White balance card
- …and a camera bag, of course!
