Hey Micheal what camera would you reccomend to some one starting out taking photos & what’s your set up?

Hey!

I'm a firm believer in buying an inexpensive DSLR or mirrorless setup with interchangeable lenses. You don't have to break the bank on a starter setup — just focus on buying a camera with a robust selection of first- and third-party lenses.

My usual advice is to start simple and only upgrade gear once you run into a physical or technical limitation that stops you from realizing your vision. For example, if you're not getting the shallow depth of field you want with your current lens and body, then maybe it's time to consider buying a lens with a larger maximum aperture (e.g., f/1.8 or f/1.4).

I started out with a Nikon D50 and a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8. That served me well for nearly five years, before I started running into technical limitations with the sensor that made shooting night photos difficult. That's when I switched to shooting medium format film for a spell, before ultimately settling on a full-frame Canon digital body. All-in-all, that experimentation period took about 17 years (I'm still not done).

That said, shop used for your first camera. Places like KEH or MPB have a great selection of tested and used gear. I personally shop from MPB. Here are a few great beginner full-frame camera bodies. I'll break out lenses later on in this post.

Why full frame? I think you get superior image quality, better depth of field, better image resolution for printing, and phenomenal dynamic range.

Canon EOS 5D Mark III ($714)

Nikon D750 ($774)

Canon 6D Mark II ($884)

Nikon D810 ($819)

Anyone of these are going to get the job done and then some.

The world of lenses is complicated and varied. You'll have “prime purists” that will tell you to eschew zoom lenses and only shoot prime (a lens with no zoom capabilities). You'll have people that say longer telephotos are all you need. The truth is, you'll find your niche the more you shoot. I prefer prime lenses for their simplicity (and the less I have to think about, the better).

I'll break these out by purpose.

Portraiture

Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 ($259)

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 ($134)

Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 ($184)

Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 ($78)

Landscapes

Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS ($294)

Nikkor AF 24mm f/2.8 ($134)

Multipurpose

Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-f/5.6 IS STM ($54)

Nikon AF-P DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ($73)

I could go on and on, but this is enough to get you a start in the right direction.

If I were to put together a beginner kit with the above options, I would snatch up the Canon 5D Mark III with the Canon 50mm f/1.8 and the Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS. Total cost before taxes and shipping would be $1,142. You would have an incredibly flexible kit that lends itself to portraiture, landscapes, and street work, all for the same price as a new “prosumer” kit with only one lens from Amazon or other big box stores. If you don't know which direction you want to go, or you want to save on cost, there's nothing wrong with swapping out the two primes and grabbing the 18-55mm kit lens for next to nothing. That will at least let you dabble with different focal lengths and see what suits you.

I'm happy to answer any other questions here!

P.S. I shoot with a Canon EOS 6D Mark I and usually have a Sigma 35mm f/1.4 lens mounted on it for street portrait/street landscape work. My other carry-around camera is a Ricoh GR III.

One of my favorite videos I ever produced was called Knew Better by my friend GoneToHeaven

At the time I had only known GTH for about a year we met through my girlfriend, I filmed his performance at the venue S.O.B’s and we would work on one other video before knew better that we filmed in Hawaii called Samo.

 I was trying to find my style in film making i consistently relied on the use of high-8 cameras for a nostalgic feel, of course this was before everyone started going crazy for the VHS look.

The video was heavily inspired by Andy Warhol’s double screen movie “Chelsea Girls” the framing and use of color I don’t think I’ve been as inspired by a film other than Chungking Express.

I storyboarded the video to help get specific shots I thought would help tell the story in the song I bought lights and fabrics for the set that didn’t take place on my friends roof enlisted the help of my female friends to play as the muse of the protagonist in video.

The video was filmed On a Canon EOS 5D mark III with a DJI Ronin 3 axis gimbal and a Samsung SCL860 HI8 camera, at the time did not own a camera of my own the 5D and gimbal belonged to my mentor VCMTTT and the hi8 camera was my girlfriends the lights I used were a combiniation of solid colored bulbs like red orange green and purple and Phillips HUE lights for the scenes on the roof, a mutual friend of GTH n me cavemitch helped with the styling of GTH. 

The video truly felt like lightning in a bottle for me,

How to Choose the Best Travel Camera: Expert Photography Tips for Beginners

Best Travel Camera: Travel Photography Tips for Beginners

Travel photography is an exciting way to document new places, cultures, and experiences. However, choosing the best travel camera can be overwhelming, especially for beginners. With so many options available, selecting a camera that balances image quality, portability, and ease of use is essential.

In this guide, we’ll explore the best travel cameras, travel photography tips, and essential features to look for when choosing the right camera for your adventures.

1. Why Choosing the Best Travel Camera Matters

Travel photography involves a variety of shooting conditions — from capturing breathtaking landscapes to candid street portraits. Your travel camera should be:

Lightweight and portable — Easy to carry without adding bulk.

Versatile — Suitable for different lighting and environments.

Durable — Withstand travel conditions.

High-quality — Capture sharp and vibrant images.

Having the right camera enhances your ability to capture unforgettable moments with clarity and creativity.

2. Types of Travel Cameras: Which One is Right for You?

1. Compact Cameras (Point-and-Shoot)

Compact cameras are small, easy to use, and perfect for casual travelers. They offer decent image quality and automatic settings, making them ideal for beginners.

Pros:

Lightweight and pocket-friendly.

Simple to use with automatic settings.

Built-in lens eliminates the need to carry extra gear.

Cons:

Limited manual control.

Smaller sensors may reduce image quality.

Best for: Casual photographers who want an easy, travel-friendly camera.

Recommended Models:

Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III

Sony Cyber-shot RX100 VII

Panasonic Lumix TZ90

2. Mirrorless Cameras

Mirrorless cameras offer professional-grade image quality in a more compact body than DSLRs. They allow for interchangeable lenses, making them more versatile for different photography styles.

Pros:

Compact and lightweight.

High-quality images with larger sensors.

Faster autofocus and better video capabilities.

Cons:

Shorter battery life compared to DSLRs.

Lenses may add extra weight.

Best for: Travel enthusiasts who want more control over their photography without the bulk of a DSLR.

Recommended Models:

Sony Alpha A6400

Canon EOS M50 Mark II

Fujifilm X-T4

3. DSLR Cameras

DSLRs provide the best image quality and full manual control but are bulkier than other travel cameras. They’re ideal for serious photographers who prioritize high-resolution images and lens flexibility.

Pros:

Superior image quality and low-light performance.

Wide selection of interchangeable lenses.

Long battery life.

Cons:

Heavy and bulky for travel.

Learning curve for beginners.

Best for: Professional and enthusiast photographers who need full control over their shots.

Recommended Models:

3. Essential Features to Consider When Choosing a Travel Camera

1. Image Quality (Resolution)

Choose a camera with at least 20 megapixels to ensure sharp and detailed images. Larger sensors (APS-C or full-frame) perform better in low-light conditions.

2. Portability & Weight

For frequent travelers, a compact or mirrorless camera is ideal. If you prioritize quality over portability, a DSLR might be worth carrying.

3. Battery Life

Long battery life is essential for extended shooting sessions. Carry extra batteries or a power bank, especially for mirrorless cameras, which consume more power.

4. Lens Versatility

Wide-angle lenses (16–35mm): Best for landscapes and cityscapes.

Zoom lenses (24–200mm): Great for capturing distant subjects without carrying multiple lenses.

Prime lenses (50mm, 85mm): Perfect for portrait and low-light photography.

5. Video Capabilities

If you plan to vlog or record travel experiences, look for cameras with 4K video recording, good stabilization, and an external mic input.

6. Connectivity

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-enabled cameras allow for easy sharing and backup of photos on the go.

4. Best Travel Cameras for Beginners

If you’re new to travel photography, these beginner-friendly cameras offer an excellent balance of performance and ease of use:

1. Sony Alpha A6000 (Mirrorless)

Why it’s great: Compact, fast autofocus, and excellent image quality.

2. Canon EOS Rebel T7i (DSLR)

Why it’s great: Affordable, beginner-friendly, and solid image quality.

3. Panasonic Lumix TZ200 (Compact)

Why it’s great: Pocket-sized with a powerful zoom and 4K video.

4. Fujifilm X-T30 (Mirrorless)

Why it’s great: Lightweight, stylish, and delivers professional-looking images.

5. Travel Photography Tips for Beginners

1. Plan Your Shots

Research destinations and lighting conditions beforehand. Sunrise and sunset provide the best natural lighting.

2. Use the Rule of Thirds

Compose shots using the rule of thirds for balanced and visually appealing images.

3. Experiment with Angles

Try different perspectives — low-angle shots, reflections, and framing techniques — for unique photos.

4. Keep Your Gear Safe

Invest in a weatherproof camera bag and always carry a lens cloth to keep your gear clean.

5. Capture the Details

While landscapes are stunning, don’t forget to capture the small details — local food, street signs, or textures.

6. Edit Your Photos

Use apps like Adobe Lightroom or Snapseed to enhance colors, contrast, and sharpness.

6. Conclusion: Finding the Best Travel Camera for Your Needs

Choosing the best travel camera depends on your travel style, budget, and photography goals. Compact cameras are perfect for casual photographers, mirrorless cameras offer versatility and quality, while DSLRs provide professional-grade performance.

No matter which camera you choose, the key is to capture your travel moments beautifully and effortlessly. If you’re still unsure about which camera to pick, The Lens India offers expert advice and top-rated travel cameras to help you make an informed decision.
