So, you have decided to take your photography passion to the next level and are searching for a professional camera. Buying a camera is not that simple, and when you jump on the bandwagon, you come across a lot of professional terms that may intimidate you. You first have to evaluate your photography genre to decide which camera will be the right choice for you. For instance, a camera that is perfect for macro photography will not be suitable for outdoor photography. We are here with a detailed camera buying guide that will help you a lot in buying the perfect one for you.
When we talk about portrait photography, resolution and quality are the primary concerns. You will want your pictures to have as much detail as possible in order to make the best portraits. This quality means you need a high megapixel count. However, not higher than your lens can handle. Moreover, it will be better if you choose the camera with an interchangeable lens, as the choice of the lens may vary for indoor and outdoor portraits.
For indoors, you will need a hot shoe attachment so that you can engage flash units using a wireless transmitter. On the other hand, for outdoor portrait photography, you must consider portability, as carrying a bulky DSLR is not at all comfortable.
If you are a sports photographer, the first thing you have to consider is fast burst rate (fps). In simpler words, your camera should have a continuous shoot mode so that you can take lots of photos quickly. Also, a buffer should be there to keep the pictures clear and crisp. In sports photography, the object is moving really fast, so you need excellent auto-focus along with the image stabilizer either in the lens or the camera body. These factors are a must to consider if you want to take perfect sports pictures.
Fashion photography is one of the most popular genres of photography and needs a lot of expertise to click perfect shots. When picking the best camera for style photography, you must consider the shutter speed to keep the subject sharp. Also, the depth of field should be shallow to make the background blur and the subject stand out. The ideal cameras for fashion and style photography come with full-frame or cropped sensors. You can also pick the one with an APS-C sensor, as it works best for fashion photography.
If you are fond of capturing stunning landscapes, our camera buying guide will suggest a lightweight and portable camera, just as we suggested for outdoor portraits. A compact camera with a weatherproofing shield will be easier to carry at remote places and capture exceptional landscapes. Moreover, you also need tons of detail in your landscapes, so pick the one with high resolution. One more essential tip that will be helpful for landscape photographers is a wide-angle lens capable of capturing wide images.
When choosing a camera for wildlife photography, the primary concern is the ability to shoot in burst mode with perfection. The subject does not wait for you, so your camera has to be very fast in capturing the images at the right time. You can either go for DSLRs that shoot up to 12 frames per second or the mirrorless ones which will go beyond 20 frames per second. Another major concern is the auto-focus system that readily recognizes fast-moving subjects even in low-light conditions and clicks a perfect shot, managing noise due to the lack of light. If you consider these factors, you can get the perfect camera for your wildlife photography passion.
Street photography is the genre of photography that is done at both day and night time. You should invest in a camera with exceptional low-light capabilities if you want to capture the best night shots. These cameras will preferably be with a high ISO range and with minimum noise. Rangefinder cameras can be ideal for street photography as you can focus through the window and anticipate the elements better. Nevertheless, this genre also needs image stabilisation for crisp and raw images.
If you have a major interest in capturing smaller objects like a small insect, a tiny cornflake, or any other miniature, you have to have quite a high megapixel count. As the images are going to be larger than the original life-size objects, you have to pay attention to a lot of detail to add dimension and depth to your photography. You can invest in cameras with built-in macro mode for these types of images. Both DSLRs and mirrorless systems come with macro mode; you just have to go with what goes with your particular interest.
Architecture photography is further divided into two categories, indoors and outdoors. Outdoor architecture photography is quite simple and can be done with any decent modern camera that is portable and lightweight. On the other hand, when it comes to indoor architecture photography, you should pick a camera that works great in low-light conditions. A high ISO range fast lens with a very low noise will be the perfect one here. Also, when picking a lens, make sure to check if the lens zooms to a wide angle and has a decently wide aperture.
If you are fond of the night sky and often capture stunning beauty, your ideal camera choice should be the one that performs excellently well in low-light situations. Also, a high ISO range and a fast wide-angle lens are essential to have clear images of stars shining in the sky. Intervalometer is also quite essential for astrophotography; if your camera is not built-in, you can use an external one.
One of the very interesting genres of photography is underwater photography. If you are buying a camera for underwater photography, the major concern is obviously buying the waterproof one or being able to fit into a waterproof housing, which especially comes for this genre of photography. Moreover, when you go in deep waters, there is very little to low light, so your camera should be able to work well in low-light conditions, meaning a high ISO range. Also, marine life is quite fast-moving, so you will need a fast burst rate (fps) and a buffer too.
The tips we have shared will help you pick the right camera. Whether you are looking for the best camera for style photography, portrait photography, wildlife, or any other, picking the right gadget is the first step. Take your time, look for all the specs, and pick the camera yourself.
