Determining the best camera for *you* will always require some reflection and consideration. It shouldn't come as a surprise that the answer to “what camera should I buy” isn't as straightforward as “click here”.

To narrow down the right camera for you will start by asking yourself: what do I want to take pictures of most? Perhaps it’s your family and friends, special events, or even travel and landscapes. It could be one or more of those listed, or something else. However, identifying 1-2 of your favorite subjects will prove helpful when making a final choice.

The most common reply is: “Well.. I’d like to photograph a little bit of everything” or “I’m not sure”, which is 100% ok! In those instances we’ll have suggestions of general purpose cameras that work well for many situations and subjects. Just make sure to check out outr updated list of “Cameras we love - 2021”

Ok, enough talking, let’s get down to business.
