Send us a textOf all the questions I regularly get asked, the one about cameras is usually the most common.“What camera should I buy”“What camera would you recommend for someone new to photography”“Which camera is best?”Understandably, most new photographers want to make a good decision about the money they're about to spend.The camera industry has just been through a major shake-up, as one by one, manufacturers have gradually stopped production of DSLR cameras in favour of the new ‘Mirrorless’ cameras.DSLRs have been around for a couple of decades and most people are familiar with them, but mirrorless only started to appear about 10 years ago and have taken a while to perfect their game..Initially they just weren’t good enough. But like most new technologies, as time passes so the product gets better. Eventually they progressed to the point where DSLRs could no longer keep up (technologically-speaking).The early players in the mirrorless field were Fuji, Olympus, Panasonic and Sony.  Canon and Nikon, the market leaders in DSLR cameras were slow to join the race, but when eventually they did, it marked the death knell for the older mechanical DSLR format.Understanding the difference between DSLRs and Mirrorless is helpful, but the big question remains... which is the right one for you?Photography Basics Part. 1Today we begin a 10-week series looking at some of the basics of photography.  It is designed specifically for new photographers (newbies) and addresses many of the key areas that will help you understand some of the technical essentials you'll need to master your camera.Most of the episodes are expected to be relatively short in length, this first one is around 50 mins as it also acts as an introduction to the series.Some links from the discussion:These are great sources of used gear that I personally recommend.Wex Photo & VideoMPBPark CamerasIntroduction To Photography (1-day Workshop)Run four times a year, this one-day photography workshop will equip you with the knowledge you need to move from simply being a camera-owner… to becoming a real photographer !Whether you're photographing your kids, snapping your holidays or you're hoping to progress your photography to a more creative level,Got a Photography Question?
