Choosing a camera
Think about what you will shoot - people, travel, sport or video - and remember the lens shapes the picture as much as the body.
Mirrorless or DSLR
Mirrorless cameras are smaller, have better video and live exposure preview, and are where new lenses are being released. DSLRs still offer long battery life and good used-lens value.
Lenses
A kit zoom is a good start. A fast prime such as a 50 mm f/1.8 is the cheapest upgrade for portraits and low light.
Video
For vlogging, look for a flip-out screen, a microphone input and good autofocus tracking. Action cameras suit sport, water and helmet mounts.
Common questions about cameras
Which memory card do I need?
For 4K video, use a card rated V30 (UHS-I U3) or faster. High-bitrate cameras may need V60 or V90 cards - check the camera's manual.
Action camera or vlogging camera?
Action cameras are tough, waterproof and wide-angle. Vlogging cameras have bigger sensors, better background blur and better audio options for talking to camera.
