If you’re just stepping into the world of photography, an all-rounder camera could be the best choice. We consider fixed lens bridge cameras or compact digital cameras to be all-rounders as they have everything needed to get you photographing straight away. They offer lots of functions and modes that allow you to capture almost anything from wide-angle landscapes to close-up macro shots to beautiful portraits and more.
But what about DSLRs and mirrorless cameras? While there are DSLR and mirrorless cameras that are suitable for nearly every photographic discipline, you also need to consider what lenses to choose. That extra element can be daunting as there are hundreds of lenses to choose from! But, if an interchangeable lens camera is your goal, we have a range of kits that include both a camera and a lens.
What our experts recommend...
Chris from our Newcastle store: “If you’re a student or a beginner, wanting to take up photography then the Canon EOS 2000D is ideal. I struggle to think of another camera that offers this sort of value for money.”
Leo from our Newcastle store: “The Canon EOS M50 Mark II with EF-M 15-45mm lens is very popular with vloggers, it has a great feature set and is so easy to use. It suits those who don't want lots of lens choices too.”
