A complete set of equipment for beginners of photography

Lead: Photography beginners recommend a complete set of equipment. Although people spend more and more time taking photos with their mobile phones, to feel the perfect charm of photography, we need the support of professional equipment besides using convenient mobile phones. For many beginners in photography, choosing a suitable camera is a headache. Some friends even think that as long as it is expensive. Although the fact can be said that, I don't think beginners who have just come into contact with photography need such high-end equipment, and now camera technology is constantly improving, so it's not too late to change to a higher-level new camera.

What do novice photographers need? ※? ※

Camera. How to take pictures without a camera? As the basis of photography, it is very important to choose a good camera. For entry-level users, this time, we mainly recommend the popular cameras of three mainstream image manufacturers, such as Canon, Nikon SLR camera and Sony micro-camera. Although they have lower-level entry-level products, but taking into account the performance and price, the model of about 4000 yuan is more worth buying.

Lens. The biggest difference between SLR and micro-single and ordinary consumer-grade DC is that you can change the lens, which creates more possibilities for your photography. For beginners, my suggestion is to buy a set of machines directly. A set of machines generally includes a body and a lens. Although the lens quality is average, it is often the most cost-effective and practical enough to meet the daily shooting needs. In addition, in addition to the lens group, I also suggest choosing a fixed-focus lens with a large aperture (35-50mm is ok), because the most common scenes are people and some close-ups, and the lens with a large aperture may better highlight the subject and have a beautiful foreground/background blur effect.

Memory card. At present, most non-Quan Huafu models use SD memory cards, but now the pixels of cameras are getting higher and higher, so don't think about 4G or 8G capacity. It won't be long before the card is full. In addition, 1080p full HD video has become the standard for cameras, so at least 32G starts, and the SD card can read and write faster.

Tripod. Although I don't often use a tripod, I can take a group photo when I go out to play, and a tripod can help a lot when I take a night view. At least you don't need an iron hand to shoot the night scene, and you don't have to worry about high sensitivity to damage the image quality. If you have a certain photography foundation, a tripod is also an essential equipment when you plan to shoot some light rail or gurgling water for a long time.

Camera bag. Maybe you have a lot of backpacks at home, but those are not camera bags, and they basically have no effect on camera protection except for loading things. Although the entry-level equipment is not so expensive, the tools for taking pictures should be protected.

That's all for the 6000 yuan budget. ※。

Canon users

Camera Canon 750D( 18-55mm) kit price: 3968 yuan lens Canon 50mm F 1.8 STM price: 968 yuan memory card Sandisk 32GB 95M/ S SD card price: 129 yuan tripod Bainuo IF 18 folding tripod+tripod head price.

As the camera manufacturer with the highest market share at present, Canon launched two brother models, the 750D/760D, in the second half of last year, equipped with brand-new CMOS image sensor and DIGIC 6 image processor with about 24.2 effective pixels. All 19 dot cross autofocus sensors and the new generation hybrid CMOS autofocus III have achieved faster and more accurate focusing performance, supporting high-speed continuous shooting of about 5 frames per second. The difference between 750d and 760D is that the 760D is equipped with a shoulder screen, and the control is more professional. If the budget is sufficient, it is also very suitable to choose 760d d.

As for the choice of lens, I recommend Canon EF 50mm f/ 1.8 STM. This lens not only has a large aperture of F 1.8, but also is compact and portable. Built-in STM stepping motor makes video shooting quieter and faster. Although this is a Quan Huafu SLR lens, when matched with an APS-C SLR camera, it can get an angle of view equivalent to about 80mm, which is very suitable for portrait photography.

In terms of accessories, the recommended SanDisk 32G memory card can meet the shooting needs of 750D in both capacity and speed. The combination of Bainuo IF 18 folding tripod and tripod head is not made of carbon fiber, but it is not very heavy. The folding design is convenient to carry and the price is very cost-effective. Slin series shoulder bags of Le Shebao passport can carry cameras and lenses, so it is very convenient to shoot outside.

Nikon users

Camera Nikon D5500( 18-55mm) kit price: 3760 yuan lens Nikon 35mm F 1.8G price: 1250 yuan memory card Sandisk 32GB 95M/ S SD card price: 129 yuan tripod Futubao MGA-584N+52Q tripod.

As Nikon's most popular entry-level SLR, D5500 is equipped with DX format CMOS and EXPEED 4 image processor, with about 2410.6 million effective pixels, and the low-pass filter is removed, so that finer image quality can be obtained. In addition to excellent performance, D5500 is also equipped with a reversible LCD touch screen, which supports intuitive touch screen operation. The built-in Wi- Fi function is also more suitable for users to share their habits instantly. In addition, D5500 is a compact and durable SLR camera with integrated structure and high durability.

Compared with the lens with F 1.4 aperture, the aperture of F 1.8 is only one step larger, but the difference is several thousand. Novices can choose the lens with F 1.8 aperture. It is recommended that Nikon's 35mm F 1.8G lens structure is 6 groups with 7 lenses, including aspheric surface 1 lens. F 1.8 aperture, excellent imaging can be obtained even when shooting indoors in poor light. The lens also has a built-in silent wave motor (SWM) to ensure quiet autofocus.

Accessories selection, because the memory card is universal, so I won't go into details. Futubao MGA-584N is a four-section tripod made of aluminum alloy, and the 52Q nebula platform extends to 157mm. This tripod also has a pin folding function, and the storage length is greatly reduced after folding, only 43cm. Bainuo is a very cost-effective SLR backpack. The lining is not only supported by thick sponges, but also has adjustable sponge spacing and large space.

Sony users

Sony A6000( 16-50mm) camera set price: 3875 yuan, lens 60mm F2.8 DN price: 1260 yuan, memory card, Sandisk, 32gb, 95m/ S SD card price: 129 yuan tripod Bainuoit/kloc-0.

Sony A6000 is a miniature camera with APS-C format. The advantage of miniature camera is smaller and more portable, but it is not as good as SLR camera in appearance and experience. If you decide to choose a miniature camera, then this Sony A6000 must be the best choice for getting started. Although Sony recently released A6300, the price is too outrageous, and the A5 100 with a lower gear is a bit amateur. Although A6000 has been on the market for some time, it has about 24.3 million effective pixels Exmor APS HD CMOS image sensor and 179 high-density phase detection autofocus point, which is comparable to many high-end models, 1655.

In terms of lens, Sony A6000 is an electric zoom cookie head with a focal length of 16-50mm, which is very convenient to carry out. As for the other lens added in the budget, I first recommend the auxiliary factory lens of Sigma 60mm F2.8 DN Although its maximum aperture is only F2.8, fortunately, the focal length of 60mm is equivalent to 90mm on A6000, which can also achieve satisfactory background blur effect. The most important thing is that the price is not expensive.

Because the micro-single is smaller and lighter, the tripod can be a little lighter, which is enough for getting started. Similarly, the recommended camera bag is a very popular diagonal shoulder bag in Le Shebao, which is not only fashionable in appearance, but also can be put into a camera, a mirror and other accessories.

The budget of 6000 yuan, from cameras to accessories, has been chosen for everyone here. If it suits you, click Buy. Of course, this is only my personal opinion, so that some friends with phobia of choice can choose a camera better. If you have a favorite group, you may wish to leave a comment and exchange ideas.
