Choosing Your First Camera

The camera aisle is confusing, and the internet is full of spec wars. Choosing Your First Camera cuts through the noise with straight talk from a photographer with ten years of experience. You’ll start with your why, then compare camera types, sensor sizes, what really matters and what is just marketing, and what each budget tier buys you. You’ll finish with a decision flowchart and a shopping checklist.

What’s inside:

• A five-question “start with your why” quiz
• Smartphone, mirrorless, DSLR, point-and-shoot and film compared side by side
• A sensor size diagram drawn to true proportion, plus a crop factor cheat table
• Features worth paying for versus features to skip, including why megapixels matter less than you think
• Three budget tiers, a used-camera buying checklist, a “Which camera?” flowchart and a pre-purchase checklist
