A lot of people start their photography hobby by buying a camera. At first, you might start out with a compact camera, but sooner or later, you decide to switch to a Digital Single Lens Reflex camera, or the DSLR. The DSLR gives the photographer much more control over the results of a picture. And with many different types of lenses available, you have endless creative possibilities.
Others get caught by the photography bug, because a close relative is into photography, and don’t start with a compact camera, but with a DSLR, or film camera.
Whatever your starting point is, knowing your gear is important. On the pages below you can find tips and tutorials on the camera and other equipment.
