Photography Equipment

All the gear no idea? My policy is before spending a penny on the ‘latest and greatest’ photography equipment, you need to know how to get the best out of the camera and accessories you already have.

Here in this section, I have put together instructional articles to help you learn things such as how to choose the best digital camera, flash equipment, or equipment for portrait photography, etc and most importantly how to use them!

Make sure you get the best out of your photography equipment with our guides including:

  • How to choose the best digital camera
  • Mirrorless vs Full Frame - How to Decide
  • Ultimate Guide to Macro Photography
  • Flash techniques for better portrait photography
  • Tips for Buying a Tripod
  • How to Choose the Right Lens

In this Photography Equipment section, you will find everything you need to know before investing in a new camera.

Can’t decide between mirrorless and full frame? Or maybe you aren’t sure the best flash to invest in for portrait photography.

My extensive guides and tutorials will help demystify your equipment, while reviews can be found in their own section.

I was on the fence for over a year before buying my own mirrorless camera and I wondered about my readers and where they were at. I asked my readers some questions on photography equipment recently and was given a enormous amount of feedback about your thoughts on the matter. The summary of which was fascinating. I’ve compiled it into one huge article about mirrorless cameras. If you ever wanted to know more about them, how others who have them feel about them, how they perform and any other information about them before you buy or even if you need to buy, you should read this.
