5 Best Cameras for Beginners

If you are planning to start a new hobby, of course you need to make certain preparations first. Generally, it is important to first obtain the necessary equipment for this area. Of course, the first and most important equipment you will need when it comes to photography is a good camera.

For a person who is new to photography, it may not be necessary to purchase a very high-end and very high-priced camera at first. It will be much more beneficial if you choose a camera that can easily familiarize you with photography techniques and that you can easily use in daily life.

Of course, the first question in the mind of everyone who steps into photography is which camera to buy. Although it is possible to access dozens or even hundreds of advice content on the internet, if you have visited this page, I think you also care about the advice I will offer you.

If you have attended a course, your instructor, or a photographer you look up to, you may come across a suggestion made to you by him or her. Even the generation of the photographer who supports you may change the suggestions given to you when choosing a camera, from brand to quality. Nowadays, it can sometimes be difficult to make a choice as new technologies emerge every day with a huge development in the sector.

What kind of camera should a new photographer choose?

Tips for a new camera

A person who is new to photography should first be aware of the important camera brands in the market. I assume you are aware of all the world’s important brands such as Canon, Panasonic, Sony, Fujifilm, Zenit and Nikon. These brands have been creating a quality that has reached the highest level of digital cameras in the industry for many years, starting from analog cameras.

Moreover, many people are taking important steps in photography with the professional cameras offered by these brands. Since these cameras have high prices, especially compared to many technological devices or products, you may want to achieve a good result by making the right choice.

Many people who are new to the art of photography try to take a quick step towards professionalism by turning to very high-quality cameras in their early stages, and they encounter great difficulties. The best cameras I can recommend for new photographers are entry-level cameras. We can individually examine the models of the brands I have mentioned, which are equipped with the best features for beginners in terms of taking photos and videos.

When examining these models individually, you will need to make the right decision by taking into account their prices as well as the technical features that are important to you. Because these devices present a huge price difference compared to amateur cameras, you will need to consider budgets that today reach a standard figure of perhaps 500 or even 1000 dollars. Besides of course;

  • How often you will use the machine,
  • What is the number of pixels captured by the machine,
  • Battery usage method,
  • Manual functions
  • You will also need to consider points such as which shooting types you will work on more.

Importance Should Be Given to Functions, Not Just the Model and Advertisements

popular camera brands

Today, there are important world-famous camera brands such as Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic and Zenit on the market. These brands are trying to dominate the market with models competing with each other in the field of professional cameras, amateur cameras and digital cameras.

However, in terms of budget, you will need to purchase a camera that you will use throughout your life or at least for a few years, paying attention to the functions of the device rather than the brand and model. When choosing an entry-level camera, it makes sense to choose the right brand according to your budget.

When you see that different models of machines produced by the same brand show big price differences between each other, you will need to pay attention to the features of the machine rather than this model difference. Even after purchasing the camera, you will see how important technique is to be successful in the art of photography and that you can achieve success as you gain experience. Even though you have these advantages, knowing your camera well will enable you to use these advantages better.

The better a photographer knows the camera he has, the better he can use its features, and the better he can capture the image he wants in accordance with his camera, the higher his chance of success. The biggest secret to capturing a visually high quality photo is, of course, a good photographer. For the success of the photographer, all details such as a good camera and a good lens must be taken into consideration. While reviewing the different models that we will talk about later, you can make the right choice by taking into account how well you can control the machine and whether the most important function for you is included in this machine.

Nikon D3500

The concept of digital single-lens reflex, also known as DSLR in photography, means providing the ability to change the lens on the camera. While cameras with digital features are named with this concept, the D3500 model produced by Nikon provides you with the opportunity to use it without having a complex structure. The device makes a great contribution to you in terms of making adjustments or seeing the result via the rear LCD screen. It even provides a guide shooting mode for your shots, helping the camera provide great support for a new photographer.

The Nikon brand has offered a very professional and useful model in this model, with a slightly lower price than its other models, and without the special settings menu found in all Nikon DSLR models. While the device provides good image quality, its performance is also at a very high point for its price. The ability to shoot 5 FPS bursts at the beginner level is also a great benefit.

Nikon Z FC

As a Nikon model, the Z FC is a very qualified entry-level camera and has a very enjoyable use feature. The processor support of the device has a similar structure to the previous popular model Z50, but it offers a slightly higher priced option for the entry level without the built-in flash. However, it can really be of great benefit to you in your transition to professionalism.

Canon EOS Rebel SL3 

The camera called Mark II, which many people in the photography world often hear about today, is the EOS Rebel SL3 model produced by Canon. This model may have a slightly higher price for the entry level compared to other models. However, it can be chosen for its very good shooting quality along with its touch screen and very practical natural pixel advantage. While it provides 24.1 MP resolutions for a digital camera, it offers the APS-C sensor, which is considered the best known sensor of the brand. While many users find it more comfortable to use the screen while shooting, this device even has the advantage of 4K video.

Sony ZV-E10

As you delve into the art of photography, of course, you may need to dabble in video from time to time. At this point, the ZV-E10 model is one of the best models offered by Sony for both photography and video work and even vlog work. In fact, the lack of an electronic viewfinder at the photography point can be seen as a disadvantage. Providing a 4K option at the video point and having a fully variable angle of the screen provide advantages. It is a camera of choice for new photographers.

Fujifilm X-T200

When it comes to photography since ancient times, Fujifilm, known especially for its photographic film brand, is still among the best machine manufacturers in the industry. This model, which looks like classic 35 mm SLR film cameras, provides pleasant use with its very light structure. Moreover, this camera, which has a very high resolution and a touch screen, has 4K video and 24 MP photo opportunities. Thanks to the 15-45 mm kit lens, it provides a wide angle of view and provides a very good shooting pleasure, especially in indoor shooting and in large areas.
